Imgur.com deleted this video clip of a jet starting and stopping a contrail. Why?

I use my FR homepage as a scrapbook for things I find interesting online and might want to link to someday.

I stumbled across this gif a couple of weeks ago (I do not remember where) and uploaded it to Imgur.com and posted it on my homepage.

Yesterday I went looking for it on my homepage and discovered Imgur.com had deleted it.

Contrails are one of those things we are assured are a conspiracy theory and that contrails are always present from jets.

This gif shows that they can turn off the contrails at will and that they spray in a grid. Those grid clouds are not natural. They are a result of spraying in a controlled grid pattern.

The fact that this gif was deleted tells me that somebody does not want it posted. It will be interesting to see how long the new gif lasts.

More likely atmospheric conditions changed. If you don’t have the right pressure, temperature, and humidity, the contrails don’t form. They can turn on and off quickly.

Or you can have CGI do it for you.

Reach an altitude below that level and the condensation trail stopped

Instantly, one engine a split-second before the other?

Have you ever seen that happen before?

I dare you to reply with an honest answer.

No, the contrails would taper off. This was a binary halting of the trail. Not buying your explanation.

I often see airliners flying overhead my home at 35,000 feet with no contrails and every once in a while a Contrail will disappear just like the one in the gif posted. The grids in my area are formed by planes flying west and east and others flying north and south on regular routes.

The best explanation is that this is a fake video. But dang it looks real as hell.

Why were people filming this jet? Did they know the trail would go off?

Why are there two videos? One from above and one from below?

“ I dare you to give an honest answer.”

You should ask anyone who works in the industry.
And watching ANY videos online is meaningless .
You have to assume everything is fake.

And that is of no interest to you because you have the curiosity of a potato.

There is nothing to ‘buy’... Condensation trails occur at about 26,000 feet... That’s how they are created... Below that altitude, they aren’t created. It’s not a button in the cockpit... It’s the atmospheric conditions that create them.

The air mass the plane is flying in changes, a normal process when crossing a jet stream or when there is turbulence in the air mass, like mountain waves or frontal passage.

Contrails are confined to narrow bands of altitude, always changing with the moving pressure systems. Weather briefings for fighter pilots always include the contrail altitude so they can be avoided denying detection to adversaries.

The grid patterns are because the planes are following established air routes. The air mass is always on the move, so that when the next airplane comes down that route, the original contrail has translated with the moving air mass. Several airplanes later and you have a set of parallel contrails.

Where there are two crossing airways, you get a grid patterns.

Yeah... there is a massive program of chemicals distributed and loaded onto airliners, and they have spraying equipment aboard. And all the pilots, ground crews and mechanics are keeping quiet about it.
Oh, they put it straight in the fuel and burn it in the engine you say? Cool story... because everyone knows that civil liability is really no big thing in civil aviation. And the oil companies that make jet fuel are not concerned in the slightest about huge quantities of some granular additive in the Jet-A.
And foreign companies like Pratt and Whitney, and Rolls Royce have no worry at all about it going in their engines.

And they are all staying quiet. Silliness....LOL...

Who said anything about “all?”

You sure love your straw men.

Copilot AI question: Can a contrail stop instantly in flight?

Answer:

Contrails, or condensation trails, are clouds formed when water vapor from aircraft exhaust condenses and freezes at high altitudes. While they can disappear relatively quickly under certain conditions, they don’t typically stop instantly in mid-air. Several factors, including atmospheric humidity, temperature, and aircraft altitude, influence the formation and persistence of contrails. If you're interested in contrails and the fascinating science behind them, feel free to ask more! 🌤️

The only explanation is it is a fake video and I am ok with that.

That guy that comes by your house every once in awhile that you think is just a meter reader, is actually someone sent to spy on you.

They probably logged into your account and deleted/replaced your image.

Even if you have a smart meter for electric, there’s still the “water guy” that can check the meter from the outside where there’s a small connector.

If you watch him closely, you’ll see him drop a little pellet into your pipes.

“ Spoken like an AI-bot.”

You sound like the AI bot.
Lapping up dumb fake conspiracy videos with no intellectual analysis or skepticism .
God gave you a brain. Use it.
Think.
Ask those with real knowledge what’s going on.
Dump the brain rotted conspiracy theorists.

Hers one.
Possible the pilot was climbing to altitude and reached cruising altitude
At that moment the engines are slightly throttled back.
Boom, contrails disappear for a bit.
Did you ask any aviation professionals for an opinion?

I agree with you but still there is not explanation for what happens on the video. Therefore the video is fake. I am ok with that. it is damn good fake.

If there is nothing to it, why did imgur.com delete the video?

Ok, if it’s not all staying quiet, maybe you can point me to the mechanic, airline pilot, tanker truck driver, or whoever that loads the hundreds of gallons of it into the airliner?

And not some silhouette guy on Ancient Aliens or something. I mean a guy, with evidence. Everyone on the ramp has a cell phone. And someone would have stolen a sample.

Chemtrails are fake as Elvis still alive.
