Those are fotos not vids. From my location on Long Island I see airliner contrails at altitude all the time and my location has a big sky view. None of them have ever appeared to move as this one did. This contrail appears to be from a solid fuel motor, not a turbo fan engine.

So? None of the ones you have seen have looked like a missile. I have seen PLENTY that look like missiles. Just because you say it can’t be so - doesn’t make it true.

There are plenty of websites and images online that are airplane contrails - psst they look like missiles.

Sometimes the OBVIOUS explanation IS the explanation.

Same here. I've never seen a jet contrail like that, but apparently jet contrails over the Pacific in Southern California can be very thick and persistent. This isn't the first time in that area that a jet contrail has been mistaken for that of a missile. The apparent orange flame of a missile is actually the orange setting sun reflecting off the aircraft.
