Large Jet Disappears with its Four Comtrails
This is more of a report of an apparently conventional aircraft doing something very UNconventional than a typical UFO report. This afternoon my children were playing in the back yard and pulled me out with them to show me a cool airplane they had seen. I looked up and saw a large silvery-white jet spewing out 4 distinct comtrails. It did not look like a commercial plane, so I thought it may have come from the Whidbey Island Air Base which is nearby. I kept watching because the plane seemed unusual and it made absolutely no sound whatsoever, and I was also checking the comtrail to see if it would spread. It did not, but after about ten seconds two of the plane's engines/comtrails shut off, and then POOF the plane just DISAPPEARED! It simply VANISHED! I was actually watching it when one second it was there, and the next, GONE. Within a few seconds, the entire comtrail which had taken up half the sky also disippated.
I never see weird stuff, and this is the weirdest thing I've ever seen. Have you had any other similar reports? I'd love to know if anyone else saw this.
I don't know if it is related, and this seems particularly strange, but a minute later there was a distinct odor of old, rotten fruit in the air and on myself, and a few minutes after that a new cloud quickly formed and disappeared in the clear blue sky where the plane had flown. My two oldest children, ages 7 and 5, saw everything with me.
((NUFORC Note: Contrails can disappear when a high-altitude jet aircraft flies into an area of atmosphere, which caused the condensation to dissipate, or evaporate, quickly. The fact that the object of interest apparently had four engines, that were producing condensation, suggests to us that it was not a UFO. PD))
