Orange Jet?, but thicker, not streamlined. Really orange. Odd contrail, like three going out like a fan. Going West to East, with low pitched engine sound.

This was one strange jet. High enough to not be really clear, but I would say larger and thicker than normal jets and completely dark Orange, with low jet sound. Contrails went on for a minute, then off, then back on. Moved quickly. 55 retired business person here.
