Can HAARP, Chemtrails or Cecily Tynan Explain Those Giant Streaks in Philly Sky?
On Monday afternoon, I was doing some reporting in West Philadelphia when I noticed this pair of huge streaks stretched across the sky. And as soon as I posted about it, the conspiracy theories, practical explanations, silly observations and wild guesses started rolling in. Was this some secret government activity? Alien invaders? Something even worse?
1. Geo-engineered Clouds?
@VictorFiorillo Those giant lines in the sky are shadows being cast on heavy metal particulate matter in geoengineered clouds.

2. Is Veterans Day to Blame? Wonders Cecily Tynan
@VictorFiorillo @JelloAmericans yes .I’m wondering if there was some kind of jet formation fly over in honor of #VeteransDay. — Cecily Tynan (@CecilyTynan) November 12, 2013
3. Contrail Shadows?
@VictorFiorillo that’s an awesome pic. Looks like contrail shadows but I’ve never seen anything quite like that. — Kate Bilo CBS3 (@katebilo) November 12, 2013
4. Santa Is Totally Plausible
@phillymag @VictorFiorillo @NASA Wasn’t there talk of snow flurries in the AM? Maybe @OfficialSanta has a new bad ass sled he’s testing.

6. The Ominous-Sounding Chemtrails
(Really geo-engineered clouds but under a better name)

7. Back to the Future Comes to Life
8. Anticrepuscular Rays
Seems too simple.
9. HAARP
It stands for High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program, but it’s best that I just let nutcase Jesse Ventura explain it to you:

10. Photoshop
Nah.
…
Well, these reader-submitted photos seem to show what the big blue streaks are: shadows. But shadows of what, Mr. Ventura?
