Dale, if you haven't looked through Google "contrail" images do so and you'll see several that are virtually identical to your wife's images. For example, look at the following links (I have and the websites appear safe): http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~zhuxj/astro/html/contrail.html http://www.kolumbus.fi/jimenez/photos/misc/contrail_030304a.jpg http://www.brianwhittaker.com/Photo-of-Week/Archive/05-11-01-A340Contrail/05 -11-01-A340Contrail.htm I even found a similar newspaper story from Newfoundland. Residents there also thought they saw a UFO, but one person who took a photo processed it and said she could clearly see an airplane. As I explained last night, I saw the same phenomena from two different planes last night, just a little before sunset. It was still light enough and the planes near enough that I could clearly see the fuselage and wings. Kim
