Yep,

I agree with Carl and Andrew, I often see contrails from jets heading west into the sunset in a clear sky and it freaked me out the first few times I saw it. Because the sunlight is lower than the plane, it reflects back down to you and gives a reddish yellow glow which I have often thought was a rocket re-entry or meteor.

Unfortunately the explanation is not that exciting....

Cheers

Chris
