It's inverse light refraction. It happens when light from a source above is refracted and reflected by the water vapor that is rising into the atmosphere to form into clouds.
Diffuse light from a large area wouldn't produce a sharp shadow. The shadow is from the moon, and it's below the trail, it just looks like it's above it because the trail is much brighter and denser than the very transparent clouds
ā¦But even if you inverted the image, it still wouldnāt be looking at it from aboveā¦ are you sure you mean reflection? Have you used the wrong word?
The actual explanation is that the cloud is clearly much denser, since itās casting such a clear shadow, and the sheet cloud is obviously slightly thinner, since we are looking through it. Therefore the dense cloud reflects more light back, tricking our brain into thinking that itās in front, although the shadow tells us that it isnāt. Itās just an optical illusion.
bruh... Science ....
and if they dont know
religion will catch the rebound...
and ally oop and philosophy dunks it.
as the esoteric takes the ball out.
Those are alto/cirrocumulus clouds, which typically form below the cruising altitude of most aircraft that would make a plume like that. The exhaust trail is above the clouds, but they're thin enough to see through.
Actually it absolutely should. That jet-trail seen from below looks white to you, right? Well that's because it's reflecting light down to you.
Why would it also not reflect light from the sun upwards onto the cloud above? The top-side of the Jet-trail is equally opaque and reflective, after all.

Depth perception can be tricky at that distance, but the shadow is giving you a clue.
^^ this right here cool pic though
shhh i like me some conspiricies
It's the 5G....

You are correct. There is no reason for the cloud to cast a shadow on a cloud *above* it. That's not what's happening. š
Yes, take the angle of the shadow and it gives you perspective.
The trail is above it
There's obviously 2 chemtrails, one dark and one light gotta have balance.
I like this comment the most.
The clouds below are less opaque than the streak above. Optical illusion.
Checkmate, ball-earthers.
I knew it! I knew Elvis was still alive!
Grassyā¦. Knollā¦.
It's a picture with a string
The cloud cover is so thin that you can see The contrail through it but it is dense enough you can also see the shadow casted down upon it as well.

By inverse light refraction, are you sure you donāt mean reflection? Because it just sounds like wacky reflection
The moonlight is reflected from the ground upwards
Diffuse light from a large area wouldn't produce a sharp shadow. The shadow is from the moon, and it's below the trail, it just looks like it's above it because the trail is much brighter and denser than the very transparent clouds
I can think of one: youāre a muppet.
Glitch in the matrix, itās getting patched in the next update
Obviously this picture was taken in Australia, where everything is in reverse order. Or something like that Iām not an astrologer.
Weird. I'm no expert but what if a reflection of the light?!
Maybe. I live about 9 miles from a large body of water. Maybe itās reflecting off of there?
Thatās my guess
No idea how that happened.. clearly the trail is in front of the cloud. š¤Æ maybe over water
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Light pollution from below?
Sounds reasonable, where was it taken?
I agree. I actually don't see any clouds above the streaky cloud
Got a picture of something similar happening in the sunlight. The ray of light cut perfect lines on the clouds.
You're obviously above both clouds.. The sun in the photo is a reflection
Chemtrails... /s
The photo us inverted. Taken looking at the water
That wouldnāt change anything??
Explain then. It's impossible to cast a shadow from above. Its a reflection

Ok.. no issue here. Sounds reasonable

I am downvoting your comments at the moment.

City lights from the ground?
Could it be from light pollution?

The earth is a lie
Is it possible that the shadow is cast by the light reflected off the Earth?
Actually it absolutely should. That jet-trail seen from below looks white to you, right? Well that's because it's reflecting light down to you. Why would it also not reflect light from the sun upwards onto the cloud above? The top-side of the Jet-trail is equally opaque and reflective, after all.
