Unique cloud was seen over the First Coast Saturday Morning

Saturday's morning sunrise displayed a very interesting cloud formation over the First Coast, but what was it?

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Saturday morning as people stepped outside on the First Coast they may have noticed a very interesting unnatural-looking cloud formation over the First Coast.

This odd-looking cloud actually was artificially induced thanks to the Atlas V rocket launch from the Space Coast Saturday morning.  The launch is a part of NASA's Lucy Mission heading out to the Trojan Asteroids near Jupiter.

Of course, the contrail was originally a straight line where the rocket flew overhead but after an hour of getting mixed up with the upper-level winds which are changing at different levels aloft, we treated with this twisted line of clouds that looked like someone scribbled in the sky at sunrise. 

Photos here were shared via the First Coast News Weather Watchers Facebook Page.
