Where were these photo's taken?
Why is the lower right corner of the first original image blanked out? Did it have the date? Yes, key questions: where and when.
The question for "when" seems to be answered on the first post.

Dark shadow to the condensation trail seems anomalous for two reasons:
-small clouds shadows are usually light grey
-seen from the ground, a dark object at high altitude appears blue like the surrounding sky, not black
I deduce that this black "shadow" is an imaging artifact, not a real shadow. Thus the "shadows" on the main object are imaging artifacts too, for the same reason. Such imaging artifacts often happen in digital systems when ther is a bright spot which saturates the electronics, or make a low pass filter "bounce", or with jpeg compression (which seems the case here).
So what remains is indiscernible from a very ordinary aircraft fuselage (the wings and fins being not visible, as it is often the case, as they are in the shadow, so they look dark and then they disappear in the blue. Maybe this aircraft has two engine attached to the back of the fuselage, like the old french Caravelles.
Sorry Enrique!
Doug, this is what I call ufology. Interesting things begin only when we CANNOT find such explanations. Am I wrong?

It's not too bad at the moment 
- I'm moving it though, it's not manned spaceflight.

Sometimes people ask questions here, in hope to find informed replies.
I dont mind it being at UMSF, but it was in the wrong sub-forum. It wasnt manned spaceflight (i.e. Soyuz, Shuttle, Shenzou etc) - it was more the off-topic forum called EVA MMU

Any chance that topic forum could have its named changed to something more relevant to its focus? Thanks.
