Seen in Ballard this AM, is this just a plane or something else?

Contrail with the magic of a sunrise or sunset lighting up its “cloud.” For a split second, I thought you caught a fireball entering our atmosphere.

I’m just glad when people do go outside and see these normal, but cool things. Do this more, OP.

I figured it was a contrail, I was just curious since there was another plane at the same time flying horizontally with white contrails, while this one appeared to be moving downwards and out of sight behind the tree rather quickly

The fog is so thick today, wonder if that’s why

I love this stuff! You can also check on flightradar24 to see what the plane is. Birds, planes, clouds…so many fun things in the sky!

Swamp gas from a weather balloon was trapped in a thermal pocket and reflected the light from Venus.

I remember a few years back there was a contrail near LA at sunset getting alot of speculation as a rocket launch.

That's clearly a Hellpod entering the atmosphere. Somewhere, Democracy is being spread!

Aren’t there particles from a comet or asteroid or something happening right now?

Ballard - right by the locks - is where my ex and I saw what can only be described as a flying submarine. It was over the water then “flew” right overtop of us and stopped. It looked like it was made entirely made of a metal so chromatic it looked like a mirror capsule.

Weird I don’t know if I’ve ever seen this lmao yea same starfield camouflage material, but the same was almost a perfect capsule. If I had to guess its size I’d say ~80ft long. Made absolutely no sound.

Reddit often reminds me that people don’t really go outside much

u/_Fake_nudes__ 10h ago

Not really sure what this has to do with anything, my job is outside and I’ve never seen a plane look like that, so I was intrigued
