Subject: Re: possible fireball in Portugal - update It looks like "airplane associated" indeed. Airplane's contrails illuminated by sun? The only strange thing is that (if I correctly understand) the Portuguese AirForce completely failed to indentify them as airplanes... Just a large airplane with transponder etc. can cruise at 12 km altitude. Maybe some confusing, misunderstanding, etc. I hope that Paulo will update on the development.
