Image:Contrail and tsunami warning sign.jpg, not featured

•  InfoIt was the strangest w:contrail I've ever seen. What was even more strange that it looked kind of similar to w:tsunami warning sign, which you could see at the street lamp. It was almost as w:tsunami warning sign in the sky. I took few fast shots and run up hill to the safety :)

•  Oppose I find this picture quite amusing. Especially when i see the composition of the bird and the man beneath him. But some things are disturbing: The sharpness isn't the best, the light/contrast could be better and the buildings are tilted to much. --Niabot 19:35, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

•  Comment A fun image, would need some cleaning up before it would pass here, but making people smile is always a good thing =) Adam Cuerden 00:05, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
•  Comment I am really glad everybody likes the image and finds it to be fun. May I please ask you a question, everybody? I am really interested in that contrail. I wonder, if somebody could give an explanation how it came about. I would also like to know, if somebody saw something like this. Thank you.--Mbz1 01:14, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Pilot hot-dogging? Hmm, English wikipedia has that word specifically for skiing and wiktionary says it is about surfing, skateboarding, skiing 'A show-off or daredevil.' but we always used to use it for anyone defying the norm in such a fashion that this pilot might have been doing. -- carol 14:16, 8 March 2008 (UTC) Oops, a verb hot dog. -- carol 14:19, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

• Thank you, Carol. It is a very good explanation, but I tend to believe it was more of a natural reason, something in the atmosphere I guess.--Mbz1 16:37, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Have you ever seen the wind do that without taking a few buildings down though? I have been on a airbus where I am quite certain the contrail would have looked like this -- the theory was that pilots were trying to upset the flight attendents. Nature is not just outside, but within people as well. -- carol 19:54, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

No I have not seen anything like this, but I saw strange contrails before. They were even studied.You also might be interested to check this out w:Crow Instability--Mbz1 20:24, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

•  Comment I asked here, and it's possibly a missile or rocket launch from Vandenburg AFB. - Keta 16:57, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
