Putting this here because I am puzzled.  I was out taking a few photos of the cloud formations this evening when I noticed a glint to the west.  I took a few photos of the "glint".  I initially thought, ISS.  Unfortunately I was using a 24-105 lens.  This was taken at 105mm on a full frame, and is about a 95% crop..  It appears to be a commercial jet.  This sucker was really high.  I went on Flight Aware and Flight Radar and did not find what I think I saw.  Any insight?  Thoughts?  Just normal commercial?

Yes, that explains the red.  I was just surprised at how much higher this was than I'm used to seeing.

Probably originated from out of state and was at its cruising altitude.  Not sure where you're at, but when I lived in Santan Valley, we'd see a lot of high-fliers on east-to-west and west-to-east flight paths.
