UPS 747 question
This is my first post. I am not a pilot but an aviation geek. I was outside today in the late afternoon in the Chicago area and spotted a 747 overhead at cruise altitude with a contrails from each engine—it was N-NW bound. There appeared to be something unusual with one of the engines which is why i am posting. Every 3 to 5 seconds a large puff of white contrail came out of the left outboard engine. This happened as long as i saw the craft. All the other 3 engines were putting out a steady contrail. The plane of course landed ok at MSP.
Is this abnormal for an engine to do that?
I checked the radar plot and it looks like it was UPS 2560 from Louisville to MSP. N579UP according to RadarBox.
I will leave the driving to you all! thanks

normally the mind-control chemtrail is dispersed in this manner to increase the effective area.
the sterilization chemtrail, on the other hand, is only dispersed at night because it is a darker color and would be noticeable in daytime.
