FWIW, I’ve seen the sun shine on a jet’s fuselage in a way that makes the plane look as though it’s on fire. But if this thing was from a jet, why the heck did it take so long to confirm it? And why’s the confirmation still being couched in equivocation?

The light from the Sun appears red during this sunset.
Neat the way the color of the “afterburners” matches the color of the clouds.
