Do you ever see jets leaving short tails that dissipate in just a few seconds?

Those are the ones that burn my sinuses the worst.

These are getting a lot of airplay on YouTube and people are saying they are contrails.

Not so.

I've been watching the sky all my life and I've never seen a trial behind a jet, long or short, until 2005. I've watched probably well over 10,000 jets having lived in areas with much air traffic for years and years.

Hope you hang in there.
