Your lighting ‘expert’ is going to have to explain away the weather satellite pic of the contrail coming from the southwest, then. Maybe he won’t roll his eyes as much when he realizes he FOS. And the fact that this has been repeated several times since the original post, of the same flight following the same flight path. That is why it has dropped out of the news, except for the “OMG! Dr Evil has missiles and is going to kill my family to the 7th generation’ crowd.
It was an airplane.
Go ahead and believe it was an airplane if it makes you feel better. My lighting expert makes a living at what he does. You are an amateur.
You are now citing a weather satellite image produced by a NASA scientist who claimed it was the contrail for the AWE808 flight. Not the UPS902 flight. And sat images of contrails will always show the top of the contrail. The satellite is much higher then the contrail.
