I'm not convinced that this image is "better than nothing." It is of such poor resolution that there is really no data to work with. I don't believe we can say with any degree of certainty that the airplane making the contrail is triangle-shaped (or even necessarily that it is visible in the image, for that matter).
I sort of criticized him for posting a picture (allegedly taken by someone he knew not himself) and greatly edited and also greatly zoomed in with line drawings over the image.
He then posted a picture that was unedited. Now that was modestly interesting and unfortunately taken by a many year old
cellphone. The sighting was vertical as if it was flying overhead and whoever took the shot did it in selfie orientation.
I've practiced taking movies of flights overhead for years in case something interesting flies over an I'm guessing this is a 5 year old or more phone camera. Too bad. My 3 year old iPhone 12 ProMax does a far better job of providing clarity to such a photograph. But,
I guess this is better than nothing.
