[quote:Anonymous Coward 47642033:MV8xOTcwNzY1XzUyNzE0MTE2X0ZDNDk5NzdC] Weird but true! I saw an odd jet above in the clear blue sky today at a little after noon. I could hear the jet engine and the plane seemed to glow with reflected sunlight. The odd thing that made me watch it was that it had no contrail, while other jets on the horizon had short contrails. It also didn't seem to have any wings. I watched as I wondered if it had blue wings that blended with the sky. Suddenly it completely disappeared and the sound of its jet engine died too. A short time later a completely white jet, with four engines on its wings flew right over, also making no contrail. I gazed around at other jets on the horizon. All had contrails. I watched the second one until it flew out of sight over the horizon, long after I could no longer hear its engines. Somebody can make these planes disappear and silence their jet engines. [/quote]

Mostly clear blue sky other than a few straight lines at lower altitudes.
Plane directly above leaving a puffy trail. Pretty high up, I couldn't hear it.
I went and got some binoculars to get a better look.
It looked like a "ghost plane", not completely opaque, not really transparent. Kind of a subtle bluish white glow around it.
Watched it through the binocs for about 20 seconds, then the trail cut off abruptly and the plane faded out like a light bulb going dim in a dark room. I had my eyes on it the whole time, right until it faded out.
It was completely blue where it stopped, no clouds obscuring my view. I scanned all around the area, with and without binocs, there was nothing to be seen other than the trail that had just stopped.
I'm in complete disbelief right now. I've seen weird stuff in the sky before, but nothing so clear and obvious that really makes me question whether I actually just witnessed it or not.
