Last night at about 6:15 pm, I noticed this super bright pink line in the sky. It was almost exactly N<->S. I’m in the Space Coast, Florida if that helps. I’ve never seen plane contrails look like this. Weird thing is that it almost looked like if the area in the center of the line was ionized, plasma-like. Unfortunately the camera didn’t pick up how vivid the line was. In another picture it almost seems like the line makes a 90 degree turn due east at the northern tip of it.
I thought maybe a meteor since there was that Taurid shower a few days but I don’t know if meteors fall N to S and if they ionize clouds like that. I don’t know if that actually is even ionization. We also have a lot of aerospace research companies here so who knows if it could be that?
Hoping someone can chime in with what it might be.
So disappointed that no meteorologist said: “a meteor probably”.
Probably a plane that disrupted the clouds and the sunset is reflecting off them different than the rest.
I’m gonna check out flight paths from yesterday to see if that’s the case. I’m real close to an airport so I wouldn’t doubt that to be the case. It’s more the color it was that threw me off.
The evidence I’d add to that is it seems to start in the middle of a section of clouds, and then slowly change the width of the disturbed area. If the line makes that hard 90 degree turn that OP mentioned, it could be the final descent pattern of a plane landing at an airport.
Chemtrails! Obviously

Its obviously a crack in the space-time continuum. The universe have been watching our elections and was disappointed on November 5. This is an obvious sign of the end times. Now drown in fear, you mortal being.
All things serve the beam!
See the Turtle! Ain’t he keen!
Not a meteorologist but definitely aliens. Don’t get probed man.
Looks like a contrail from one or more airplanes near the same altitude of the clouds.
I’m not a meteorologist, but I do know a thing or two about plasma.
Plasma is very short lived. Think on the order of microseconds at atmospheric pressures. So unless there was a massive linear source of power along the whole length, this isn’t plasma.
The visual effects probably have to do with the fact that the sun was very low. I’m guessing the particle size distribution in that line is notably different from the size of particles in the clouds surrounding it, leading to much stronger reflection of evening light.
I am curious as to the meteoroligical explanation for the line though.
Makes sense about plasma being short lived. It was just so close to the color I imagine an aurora to be along with the glow. I mentioned in another comment but I’m gonna look at the flight paths near here at that time to see if something comes up.
I sent a link to my local TV meteorologist. Will update if I hear back.
It looks a little like a Skyfall.
And it crumbles
