If the openly discussing it then it's probably been in practice for a couple of decades.

It's not normal because you've never seen this before or because you've confirmed that there was no commercial air traffic over this section of the sky at a time prior to when the photo had been taken?
To what?
Have you seen the hovering aircraft Fedex uses? The videos are there if you know where to look.
Why should I look?
I can say yes to both. A lot of non identified traffic where I live and a lot of commercial traffic. Being south of a major airport I'm in the lanes, been here for 45 years. I notice patterns and use Fight Tracker to see who the planes are.
What you describe, lingering and spreading, is both usual, and normal.
Nothing unusual about it.
It has to do with the relative humidity of the upper atmosphere. If it’s high, then the ice crystals won’t dissipate, they’ll simply mix, which means they’ll spread out, just like cream in your coffee does if you don’t stir it, it spreads out, and they will linger.
Now, it doesn’t happen every day, because the humidity level in the upper atmosphere, where the Jets are, varies. Just like it does at sea level. Some days, contrails dissipate quickly, some days they do not.
Some days your wife’s hair is frizzy, some days it is not. It’s a matter of humidity.
How do you know they are non-identified? Could you see the paint scheme and read the tail number?
You may find it interesting that because emissions controls have cleaned up the air in the Northeast it has led to Ocean Warming in the Atlantic Ocean and blamed by some in NOAA (of all places) for stronger storms. (please no politics, this is information based on NOAA researchers) Maybe backs up what Bill Gates has in mind.
Particulate Pollution "help create clouds and reflect sunlight away from the earth, causing cooling, Murakami said. The decline in particulate pollution due to pollution control measures may increase the warming of the ocean by allowing more sunlight to be absorbed by the ocean."
Study: Climate change has been influencing where tropical cyclones rage
While the global average number of tropical cyclones each year has not budged from 86 over the last four decades, climate change has been influencing the locations of where these deadly storms occur, according to new NOAA-led research published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Science...

Winds in the upper atmosphere.
Is there a difference in the trail that cloud seeding leaves behind vs normal jet engine moisture, that a person observing from the ground could tell?
Whoa wait. Turbojet aircraft are doing this mysterious cloud seeding? Sorry if I missed that earlier.
Hey @Astro14 are you seeding clouds?

Why wouldn’t they? Is it only relegated to certain aircraft type?
As far is it being “mysterious” well here is a whole official page from Texas gov page about it and what they do.
A Summary of Rain Enhancement (Cloud Seeding) Operations in Texas
This is the Rain Enhancement Summary page for the Weather Modification program administered by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation.

How much H2O is in pound of jet fuel when consumed? I'm aware of humidity.
Are you saying you know for sure there are no weather modification programs ongoing?
Oh I know it exists. But really, turbojet aircraft?
I would not trust any Official Weather entity, especially NOAA. And I'm an official weather observer. They can't loose their funding you know.You may find it interesting that because emissions controls have cleaned up the air in the Northeast it has led to Ocean Warming in the Atlantic Ocean and blamed by some in NOAA (of all places) for stronger storms.

Turbojet or turbofan? Outside of fighter jets I don’t think turbojet engines are used.
But why wouldn’t they used large turbofan aircraft? If you need a large area seeded, it would only make sense.
Yeah, but I was surprised to see this paper published by a governmental agency as it bucks “the agenda” in respect to partially blaming more powerful storms from a warmer Atlantic due to the fact that the air is cleaner and now more sunlight is reaching the ocean, thereby warming it
If you say so. I guess I’m not an expert on
oh wait, you somehow think that a turbofan/turbojet aircraft = a commercial airliner.
Who mentioned commercial airliners here?
