Occurred: 2016-04-09 19:50 Local
Reported: 2016-04-10 13:00 Pacific
Duration: 5 minutes
No of observers: 1

Location: Lamberton, MN, USA

Shape: Unknown
Characteristics: Left a trail

Pulse detonation engine contrail.

I was in my hot tub watching a TV show on my Kindle and I heard a popping noise, so I paused the show. (I had the cover on the hot tub which is normal for me when it is cold, but there was also a very cold wind so I was actually under the cover at the time.) The sound also kinda sounded like a basketball being dribbled during the second half of the event - which is plausible since I could hear kids in the neighborhood.

I was facing southwest at the time and the only thing unusal I noticed was a doughnuts on a rope contrail at the 2 o'clock position.

I did NOT actually see the plane that made the contrail.

During the last year I have seen this type of contrail over Lamberton 2 to 3 times and 1 or 2 times over Wabasso Minnesota. Always in a west to east / east to westly direction.
