A long dark shadow appeared in the sky above us, it moved slowly along then disappeared.

Wtf was this?

Hide! I have dreams about weird things in the sky, this would put the shits up me!

It's a shadow cast by the sun being behind a normal vapour trail. Trails are so narrow that you don't often see the effect. It's pretty cool.

Ooooh 😮

Ah the shadow cast by a contrail!
But, it was gradually moving along... I guess contrails can be "blown along" by the wind but you don't normally notice it?
Makes sense I suppose!

Clouds probably moving above it making it look like it's moving more than it is.

Just looked out of the window, can report there's no rapture in Scotland.
