Go back to post #79. Prolific Varginha researcher and native Portuguese speaker @BoulderRiver gives a breakdown of it. He and @Gaspa are the ones to ask.

Not quite shadows, but merely 'dark' contrails seen yesterday through a lower haze illuminated by the sun. In the clear sky they would be bright white. -
Hi Silverado, welcome. The paper lists one author. It is common for academic/ research papers to have a discussion section. Unless it is clearly stated otherwise, the reader will be under the impression that the discussion section is written by...
