NUFORC Note:

We have visited the URL indicated, and the object appears to be not inconsistent with a contrail behind a high-altitude jet, highlighted by the setting Sun in the west. We may err in our interpretation, but that is what it looks like it may be. NUFORC has received many such reports over the years. PD
