“X” marks the spot as jet contrails cross in the sky above DeKalb County’s Shabbona Lake

Denny Sands relays this photo to us taken this year back on November, 7. I thought you mind find his accompanying e-mail interesting.

“While fishing at Shabbona Lake in DeKalb County, on November 7th, 2007, my fishing partner Tom Adair, said look at that. In the Sky was two airplane trails making an "X" in the sky. Looking more closely, we saw where one plane veered off, but yet a trail continued.

We determined the darker trail was actually a shadow that was caused by the sun lining up making a shadow which perfectly continued the "X".’



Thanks for sharing this with us, Denny!
