Dear comrades, as a Russian, living near Moscow I can say that Moscow is a no-fly zone. You can rarely see any planes in it's sky (Not counting in the higher - flying ones and that this piece of contrail might have been blown over the city by atmospheric winds.) But I still see this as a contrail. Probably from a T154 (They have three engines in the back, closely spaced together.)
Quoting: Snuffielover There are several airports near Moscow. It could be that the cloud was viewed from one of those areas and the viewer simply said Moscow for ease of communication (since few outside of Russia would know where Domodedovo is). The building in the first photo looks like it might be easily identifiable to someone who can read Russian. [ link to i.imgur.com] That's the fundamental problem with these kinds of sightings: - amateur observers rarely report the correct or necessary information - amateur investigators assume everything being reported is 100% accurate On the other hand, a similar cloud was viewed over Columbus, OH back in January 2012. A meteorologist had observed it and postulated that it could have been a swirling wind from high altitude that made it's way closer to the ground. So, perhaps not airplane generated at all.
