"COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- A plane was flying in circles southeast of Colorado Springs Monday morning and it attracted the attention of many across southern Colorado.
The plane had been circling for an hour or so and created an unusual contrail pattern in the sky, according to witnesses including Fountain Police Department's Sgt. Robert Koski.
"I saw a lot of contrails crisscrossing in the eastern sky," said Koski.
Contrails are defined as a trail of condensed water from an aircraft, and according to John Clare are fairly common.
"The upper air is still and super stable. Anything that's laid up there, there is nothing to make it dissipate other than gradual evaporation itself," said Clare, chief flight instructor at Peak Aviation.
Clare said the trails last longer when the atmosphere is stable and cold, similar to the conditions seen around southern Colorado this morning.
As for the circular patterns the contrails were forming, Clare said these occur when an aircraft turns at high altitudes.
Clare said this said this is common behavior in military aircraft training.
"If you had several aircraft practicing air combat maneuvering, that would give you lots of your little squiggles, but absolutely standard. Not a problem at all," said Clare.
The representative with the Colorado Springs Airport says the plane was not in contact with the control tower at the airport and was not in airport controlled air space. NORAD also said the plane was not associated with their operations.
KRDO Newschannel 13 is awaiting confirmation from Fort Carson and Buckley."

  • @giantgreenbuddy How do you know the relative humidity of the air at 30,000 ft?

  • @BeachCory Contrails (or any other cloud) are made of tiny water droplets. When the air is dry, the drops evaporate quickly. The more humid the air, the slower the drops evaporate. When the air is nearly saturated with water vapor, the drops cannot evaporate and, in fact, can become nucleating sites for water vapor to condense upon and cause the contrail to grow. This is really quite basic physical science.
