This picture shows what appears to be a giant PENIS left in the vapour trail of an RAF jet.

The bizarre sight appeared over RAF Lossiemouth in Scotland and has prompted bosses at the base to say it is "not what it perhaps appears to be".

Military chiefs reacted after rumours that one of its pilots deliberately 'drew' a rude picture in the skies.

Ever since eyewitnesses spotted the bizarre sight and took pictures, speculation has spread that a pilot has been severely reprimanded by his bosses .

However, a spokesman for RAF Lossiemouth has denied this, adding that the offending image was just an unfortunate accident.

The spokesman said: "It's not what it perhaps appears to be.

"The pilot concerned was flying in a holding pattern, which is what all aircraft do when they are waiting to land.

"The matter was looked into, but this is not a case of someone being silly."

The spokesman added: "People sometimes look into the sky and see all sorts of things."
