The contrails you posted, including the one that is supposed to look “just like” the one in dispute, appear evenly under-lit by the setting sun to the west.

The “contrail” in dispute appears to be right-lit to the west on one side and dark on the other appearing to indicate a south-to-north horizontal flight path (if a plane) or a vertical path if a missile observed to the south...but cannot be the west-to-east plane like UPS 902 observed from the east, if it is only side lit from the west.

Thanks for your reply:

These are variables explained by the contrail hypothesis - variations in time, viewing, angle, flight path etc.

I wasn't trying to match this event identically, but to show the effect and that it has occurred in the past. If you wish an explanation focusing on this particular event, contrailscience.com has what you're looking for.
