Hey y’all, Just got these in an email…[:O] Enjoy[:P]
The condensation of water vapor does not necessarily indicate supersonic speed.
Those pics have been around for a while, but always cool to see.

Forgot to add this[oops] as this was also stated with the pics. (I don’t know the actual cause) just know they make for an awesome pic[:D]
Actual photos of the sound barrier
This phenomenon only happens at the instant an
Aircraft breaks the sound barrier And it literally appears like the aircraft
goes through a wall. I hope you find these pictures as fascinating as I do.
WOW!!!
Here is another piece of trivia to add to this. The reason the back of the plane looks blurry to the naked eye when this happens is because the plane is creating such a vacum in the air, that it actually bends light rays! I don’t know that its completely true, but it sounds like it could be possible!
Kylec has it right. The other statements are not correct.
