Yes, those are jet engine produced condensation trails. The weather condition that day was just right for them to be generated and to persist. You can see some of them have been there for awhile, as evidenced by their dispersal, (but not sublimation).
Not sure what you mean by "normal". That's usually how they look.
I need to go back and look again, not sure I got past the intersection. But, I saw weird power lines, I don't know why they appear broken up. Cool how they were just suspended up there, lol. Look at the trees, some of the branches aren't attached. Something went haywire when the image was transmitted or received. You know how those little square things don't line up right on the tv screen sometimes, it's something like that. I think it's a digital thing. Somebody will come along with an expert explanation.
In toodies defense, (even though I do not support the conspiracy behind contrails), the skies in Camden, (or Rockland), do NOT look like that normally, no matter what planes may or may not fly over Maine. I had to drive through this town twice a day, every day, for six months. Not once did it ever look like this.
It's definitely interesting, but certainly not anything to be alarmed about.
You're right. I kept saying Camden, and it's Rockland.
Glad to hear from a local person since I'm considering relocating up there, and wondered if this was happening all the time in their beautiful blue skies.
I understand what people are saying about the atmospheric conditions, but those conditions would be present much more often than just over a long, long time period.
If someone lives up there or drives through there twice a day and only sees this once every month or two, something is nonsensical about atmospheric conditions causing this.

Hmmmm. Doesn't do that when I view the link. You've got to go quite a bit further into the downtown area, after the intersection at Orient Street, and the Camden Bank, to see the part of the sky I'm talking about.
The power lines and trees are connected when I view, so don't know what's up with that.

Thanks!

In the entire six months, I didn't see it at all. I followed your directions, looked up and was like, "woah! That is crazy looking, isn't it?" because it just doesn't look like that. And trust me, I've looked up at the sky plenty of times when I've been stuck behind every person who wants to window shop from their car. Getting through Camden when the tourists are around is a true testament to strong will....not to get out and start beating on people. "GO! For the love of God, GO!"
