Contrail who they trying to kid. Thats fire and smoke. If it was light on a contrail it would be uniform. Not a flaiming streak ending in a fireball.

The "sun reflecting off of the ice crystals of a high-altitude contrail" theory seems to be the most plausible If you look closely, you can see that the firey part of the cloud follows the exact same outline as the white part of the cloud.

Either that or we better send Bruce Willis' "Armagheddon" team up there, pronto! Quick, where's Steve Buscemi when we need him!

That ain't no contrail, you can see in the second pic it apears to be tumbeling, the smoke trail ossicilates.

It's a black helicopter bursting into flames because it's antigravity unit malfunctioned. Don't tell anyone.

I was thinking it was the Auora buring up as it reentered after an assination attempt on AIral Sharon!

Yeah, it's definitely proof of something... I mean, you couldn't fake that in PhotoShop.

Its proof that something had a rough entry.

If you believe it really happened, that is.

My point is: you never really know these days.

Rocket launches in the early evening from Vandenberg look incredible. Long colorful streaks and snakelike clouds of bright color.

Or an acid flashback... ??

That's actually the first thing that came to my mind, minus the Ariel Sharon bit. That picture matches up with all the descriptions I've heard of the "Great Pumpkin" a.k.a. Aurora.

Yeah you never know these days... but in this case, someone else took this at the same time 10 miles away.
