This was caused by pressure differences around the aircraft. A sudden drop in pressure associated with high speed allows water vapour, which is normally invisible, to condense as fog.

This is a cloud of vapor created because of the pressure applied on the air by the sound of waves created by jet. This can even happen without at the point jet breaking the sound barrier. Sound wave pressure on the air results in forcing vapor to connect together creating this cloud.

That thing is breaking the sound barrier, most of us who have technically knowledge about sound, wind, airplanes, and speed know this, we have a sound barrier all over the world, and you can break it by super sonic speed, when you break that sound barrier, you can create that cloudy thingy at your back, only "jet planes" and a "whip" who can break the sound barrier.

It has the meaning of the Environmental change is coming from all this Wars in the world and nuclear testing. and that Jet shows how the environment spoils due to the smoke out of it. In short it means:- Expect the unexpected, Environmental desaster is Coming out from that cloud!!!!!!!!
