I saw another one of these short, sunset contrails from my backyard last evening. They are always in the west at sunset, or the east around sunrise. They are backlit jet contrails and usually short, dissipating behind the jet quickly. On 9/2/10, Dale Wilson <dalel2112@yahoo.com> wrote:
It was no iridium flare for sure. I'm working on uploading the video. I'll have it posted as soon as possible.

There was an iridium flare to the south last evening around 7:30p.m. That's all I saw on it.

Did anyone see the "comet like" phenomenon in the western sky at about 7:10 pm this evening? What ever it was, it was slow moving and looked like a shooting star in slow motion. My wife caught it on video while I was away for the evening. I watched the video and, for the life of me, I can't figure out what it was. It was high elevation, no sound and a trail. It was moving west with a slight southerly angle. Any info would be appreciated.
Dale
