Secret Jet propulsion system seen in New Mexico Sky

I was horseback riding with four people and the guide up into the mountains in Cerrilillo, New Mexico. After going over the first crest I noticed in the sky a very strange smoke trail. It look like a donut then a dash then a donut connected together and stretching about 1/4 mile in the sky. The air was cold enough to maintain it's shape for a long time. I never heard or saw any craft which made this nor could it be seen unless you were in the mountains. I pointed it out to everyone but since it was the first time for everyone to horseback ride, only the guide looked up. I think I saw this trail before meantioned in a report discussing jet propulsion systems on experimental craft. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get a photo.
