| Remarks | I never saw a jet vapor trail starting from the middle of the sky, and yet, that's what it looked like to me. One vapor trail on each side, and going up, not side-to-side. |

| Remarks | It looked like a jet plane with 2 vapor trails, but heading vertically (straight up) and the trails starting from the middle of the horizon. Normally on a jet you can see the trails across the entire sky, and it's side to side. I used my binoculars, but didn't really make out a jet. I stopped watching after about 2 minutes, figuring it was a jet. I had a clear view from my 2nd story apartment. |
