Think you mean on the 7th?
We were over eastern Turkey and saw some bizarre stuff at 1745Z. We saw some odd clouds near the ground off to the east with a strange persistent smoke trail/contrail looking thing above it. It was dark and the smoke was almost luminous. We then saw a fantastic conical smoke cloud with a spinning object below it surrounded by a smoke ring. In 17 years of professional flying I've never seen anything like it. Got a great picture of it as well. The conical ring was far above us (we were at FL370) so whatever it was was at very high altitude.
FO and I surmised we had witnessed something military- SAM launch? Missile launch and/or intercept? No idea, but it was spectacular. We looked at our charts and our best guess was that the stuff we saw was over the eastern Black Sea or near the Russian/Georgian border. Got home last night and spent some time with google. Noticed the USS Monterey anti-missile ship is in the Black Sea doing some sort of exercises with the Ukrainian military- perhaps this was what we saw?
