Check out this photo, submitted to MUFON (along with a full description, which you can read below), featuring a contrail of a craft flying in circles. The witness submitted multiple photos - just like this - and claims to have seen the object flying around, but I can't quite see it: 
I was heading towards my gym, heading southward when I looked up in the sky and noticed an object forming contrails (puffs of smoke) while the object was traveling in counter close-wise circles. I stopped to take pictures and then I proceeded to drive towards the gym while observing the object. I took a few more pictures once I parked then I notices I can see the object was still in the circle making puffs of smoke as it was circling counterclockwise. While outside I couldn't see the object directly or hear any engines or motors. This could simply have been a jet, but that doesn't really seem to jive with the witness' report. Have you seen any strange contrails or crafts in Pflugerville recently? Report your sighting.

This was a plane leaving 3.14 etc etc in the sky, because of the date: 3.14. It was all over Austin.

Yeah, Pi in the sky. :-) It would be interesting to see a picture of the full circle, count the number of puffs to see if someone was trying to leave a message. It looks like there was a previous circle, nearly dissipated in the upper left of the picture.

In the upper left corner of the picture it looks like there was an earlier circle, with the smoke or contrail nearly dissipated. I have seen skywriting that looked similar to this, with the plane (known to be a conventional non-jet airplane) too high to be heard. If this event was "all over Austin" there ought to be a newspaper report or two that could be referenced.

There were plenty of newspaper reports - including the Austin Statesman - it was an aerial exhibition called "Pi In The Sky" & national media such as Forbes Leave a Reply. |
