Kirkwood, the contrail of the shorter one is much, much longer than what we saw. There was NO contrail. You couldn't even tell it was forked into a V unless you looked through binocs.

Um, that was the only one I could find that illustrated the point that contrails come in all shapes and sizes. Some aircraft have no contrails at all (imagine that!). You saw a contrail. Trust me.
BTW, you can use this to track flights around certain areas of the country:

At my local airport the data is saved for some time and you can go back and find certain aircraft in a specific place at a specific time. I suspect if you have this for your area, you could not only find the aircraft, but the airline, flight number, altitude, speed, and aircraft type as well.
