Not to me it doesn't. It looks just like the meteor trail I saw last November. That one, just like this one, and unlike airplane contrails (Flight 800 being an exception) was accompanied by a short very bright flash of light. What makes even this image different from an aircraft contrail is the thick spot in the middle. A contrail is thickest right behind the aircraft, and of course moves with the aircraft, rather than disappearing in the middle of the sky. Aircraft contrails can end somewhat abruptly if the aircraft changes altitude into an area where the conditions are not right for contrail formation.
