Winter night pictures

[Can]

I was standing in my window taking some pictures of a very special "color play" in the skies with my cannon eos400d when i noticed something weird. If someone can help me identify what this is I would be very happy

At this point the first thought I got was that it might be a parachuter or something

At this point I went back in to grab my Sigma 70 - 300mm.

Seems like something went wrong in the air.

I have not edited the images in any way yet, only re-sized them for the web.

Interesting...can you link to the full sized images so we can see the detail better?

It's a high altitude contrail.

Or a UFO.

Sure, this is the high detail of the third picture:

Go to the bottom of the screen and type in the password "can" to access the file. Best host I found with large file sizes. :\

WOW! Awesome catch... I believe it might be a mysterious animal/bug called a "Rod".

I just like the pictures. I have no clue what it is in the sky though. The pictures are great though.
