Payne, old lad, why do you include ‘the religious authorities’ in that comment? When did you last hear a ‘religious authority’ talk about contrails? You are just repeating some anti-religious rant you have heard somewhere.

Saying that something is a fact does not make it so, laddie.

even better, grab yourself an aeronautical chart, and find the basic wind direction that day. some people wonder why these form x’s all the time. you’ll notice directly below the general area is a navigational aid, whether it be a prominent landmark or actual VOR/VORTAC/NDB or any of the others, these natural occurances stay much more stabilized at altitude.

….and it is backed-up by tests and science.
Do you not believe in tests or science ?

That rumor, that “contrails always dissipate quickly”, is easily rebuffed by a simple internet search.

cw payne,

it’s all a matter of varying conditions. Like the formation of clouds: you don’t get Cumulus clouds (“cotton” clouds”) every day and everywhere, right? Or any clouds for that matter …

The conditions for clouds do also apply to what happens with a contrail. But note that these conditions can also vary very much with altitude. At 20000 feet they might be totally different from the conditions at ground level. And very different again from the conditions at, say, 30000 feet.

To put it in a nutshell, some contrails dissipate and some stay or even spread. If somebody is telling you that normal contrails never persist – don’t believe it!
