What is This?
Scott Vincent
I noticed your web site and thought I would forward
these contrail photos. I've not seen any like this before,
but maybe I'm just unobservant and it is a natural phenomenon.
Please let me know if you find them interesting or
if they're just a common occurrence as a result of atmospheric
conditions. They were taken on 20 November 2005 in the
UK during a period of very high pressure.
Readers: Scott's photographs show trails that are
unlike any contrails I have ever seen. Have you seen
or photographed anything resembling this? Please send
comments to "Backscatter."
Photos are especially welcome. Editor.
Wanted: Gallery Contributions
Contributions to "Gallery" are welcomed. Please submit
sharp JPEG photographs and a caption of from a few sentences
to several paragraphs. Be sure to include the full name(s)
of any people in your submission. To the best of your
ability, provide both the common name and the genus
and species of any plants or animals. Common names are
lower case, as in the live oak tree. The genus is capitalized
and the species is not, as in: The live oak (Quercus
virginiana) keeps its leaves during winter. Also provide
information about the camera that made the photograph.
Send your contribution as an e-mail
to the Editor.
Place "Gallery" in the subject line. Be sure to include
your full name. Attach the photograph as a JPEG.
Thank you for considering The Citizen Scientist.
