Odd contrails this afternoon...
Did anyone see some rather peculiar looking contrails over southern England this afternoon, about 1330-1335Z 29DEC14?
Sorry no picture but I saw them just as they were dissolving. Appeared to be a sequence of lateral oscillations but with mixed up amplitude and frequency. All the other contrails in the sky were dead straight.
I guess the wobbles were in the order of miles or so either way but almost impossible to put a scale on it.
I’ve seen vertical oscillations in contrails when they’ve formed in an area of CAT but not what appeared to be horizontal ones like these. It looked almost like an out-of-control fighter on afterburner pulling 9g turns had left a trail behind. Weird.
