NASA WB-57 Caught In Action

interesting-(2006)

Persistent-Race-track-contrails over southern California.

Here is the pilots explanation for this strange phenomenon:

"Brian,

I can answer your questions since I was the pilot on 13 Apr 06.

Tail number was NASA 926. We were based at MCAS Miramar and flying a
developmental communications package for an aerospace contractor. We
were flying a race track pattern stretching roughly from Palm Springs to
Catalina. The altitude was 55K ft."

WTF!
Developmental Communications Package
?????????????????????????????????????

Has NASA Taken-over the UPS delivery business?
-OR-
Is the Contrail itself, a communications Device?

Joint Surveillance Target Attack Radar System (Joint STARS)??????

The WB-57 has a very impressive payload capability.
