It is clear that there is only scant upper clouds so I don’t understand how a funnel cloud could have formed. If it was a horizontal ‘cloud’ then it surely must be a contrail being lit by a low sun.

It looks (at the end) like it has two trails like a jetliner but so do funnel clouds. So it is hard to tell. The photo below shows a closeup of a funnel and this twin trails effect is seen.

Funnels are formed from large but decaying cu-cong or cu-nimb and I have seen several of them myself. There are no cumulus class clouds in your photo, only streaky cirro-stratus.

I took this photo on a day with lots of cumulus congestus that never reached the cu-nimb level. The Cu over-developed and flattened out covering the sky.

Please don’t google ‘chemtrails’ or you’ll lose braincells. Its a particularly stupid conspiracy theory that ignores the facts about aviation. You’ll be surprised how many brain-deads there are out there. There are much more convincing conspiracy theories than chemtrails!

>>Warning, fold a primitive hat out of tinfoil and use to cover your head before doing so!

Moggie; I don’t think even an tin foil hat will help!
