"Pulse Contrail Photo" in Av Leak

Today's issue of Aviation Week has on page 19 a photo taken at 2:26 MDT in Santa Fe which seems to be a pulse detonation contrail.

I must say I have seen many things, but nothing like this.

As Arty Johnson used to say "Veerrry Interesting!"

The civil engineer who took the photo, and his wife, who worked on the Titan program for 25 years reported that the contrail was left by "a fast moving aircraft at very high altitude." No noise was reported, the contrail was short-lived disappearing in a minute.
