I have to read 270 posts to find the one you want me to see? No thanks.
I’ve seen that but I’ve yet to see anyone define W537.
Mine own attempts at discovering its meaning have been unsuccessful.
Ideally I’d like to see a map with the area outlined.
But a dark brown UPS plane would definitely reflect light like a glowing torch.

These guys over at professionalsoldiers.com seem to think so and they linked to a skyvector chart here to show the area that exact NOTAM was for. Smack dead centered on Catalina Island which is dead on for flight 808's route. Several aviation forums were also discussing the NOTAM and I didn't see anyone questioning the areas covered. I think it involves other areas than W537 but I couldn't find those codes in the NOTAM on that chart. There was also this comment left on the CBS news forum on Nov. 9.
RAW VIDEO: Mysterious Contrail Off Calif.Lorrie Laible
I find it intersting that no one claims to know about this. Yesterday we were returning from Honolulu on Hawaiian Airlines with an arrival time of 3:25 pm at LAX. Approximately 270 miles away our pilot came on the speaker and told us we would be rerouted over Big Sur California due to military maneuvers in our path. Maybe they should speak with the pilot of our flight.

#114 means nothing if the plane didn't travel that route Monday.
#115 doesn't fit the video.
#118 just reinforces that the single column contrail in the video doesn't fit.
#148 is meaningless. A still pic doesn't reveal a thing and is no comparison to the video. It's the video that reveals the nature of the flight.
Same for the following two links. I appreciate you effort but that's all a big zero IMO.
