was that on tues? I remember the sky looking amazing with unique cloud forms on my way home

It was indeed. This was clearly a jet contrail, but there were also plenty of other interesting clouds up there. I imagine it was the disturbed upper-air effects of the leading edge of the front that brought us thunderstorms on Wednesday.

We do get some weird contrails in SoCal - especially over the Pacific, most visible around sunset, many that are very erratic and couldn't possibly be made by commercial jets. Probably missile tests out of Vandenburg.

Yep, those twilight squigglies in the western sky are nearly always missile exhaust from Vandenburg launches. Lauri used to call them "alien graffitti". :)
