The middle pic you posted there appears to be from, or the same, as what is seen in Leyvas' video here. In the video you can see the contrail growing even after it dissipates and becomes a very short contrail. Are you contending that there is no vehicle of any kind at the leading point of that growing contrail?

Are you contending that there is no vehicle of any kind at the leading point of that growing contrail?

No, I'm contending that the object itself was never really seen in any of the video or the photos. Glint of the sun reflecting off the body of the object is seen for 30-45 seconds, but otherwise all that was ever visible has been contrail. I have yet to see any closeups of any of the photos or the video that shows anything except contrail.

When the contrail ceased to be created in Leyvas' video, he thought the object itself disappeared from site. When the object reappeared a distance from the contrail, it wasn't the object itself that was seen but simply a resumption of contrail formation, which does not persevere as long in the changing air dew point closer to land.
