"Dark chemtrail" over Pikes Peak (updated with another photo)

Last edited Tue Nov 25, 2025, 11:17 AM - Edit history (1)

This morning, I noticed a fairly rare phenomenon known as a "dark chemtrail" to conspiracy theorists, and considered to be an especially dangerous concoction of chemicals. But it's really just the shadow of the contrail to the left, which is falling through a thin haze. (This one was almost gone by the time I got my camera ready, sorry about that, but you can still see it dimly.) The reason they are rarely seen is that you have to be looking straight into the edge of the shadow plane to see one.
