This is a existent photograph of an FA-18 , completely unblemished by Photoshop . What kind of atmospheric conditions would conduce to such an phantom ? National Geographic has the answer .
PhotographerKirk McMenamin , who reconcile this image to National Geographic ’s “ Your Shot ” writes :
This is a shot of an FA-18 performing a gamy - speed whirl that resulted in a vapor cone form around the back half of the planer . When see head - on , it made the plane come out to be coming out of a port . The photo was carry during the 2009 Gold Cup Races on the Detroit River .
I recall McMenamin meant “ portal , ” not “ porthole . ” Like in Stargate or Lost .
