On the evening on Oct. 22, 2009, My wife and I were on our back deck of a very lovely day when we went into the house to eat the evening meal. About 5:15 p.m. I went back out on the deck and immediately noticed this. If you look quite closely you will see an airplane in the center of the photograph (it is a plane because I heard it and waited to snap the photo when in center). This is the first time I have ever seen anything this massive, dark and with this length. I'm guessing this is not so abnormal but oddly beautiful. The formation slowly widened and disappeared in 5 minutes.
