    Oh and now she says the contrail was blown easterly by the wind and dissipated in the short time she watched it.

    Here are two more pictures that were taken seconds apart and begin showing the object entering the clouds and the contrail moving/dissipating a little bit already.

    From your account, I'd have figured a model rocket, although something substantially bigger than an Estes. A model rocket would fit the time profile you mentioned. The CRASH website indicates they had a launch day on Saturday, Feb 20, from Bear Creek Lake Park. The NCR website shows they had a launch day on Feb 6 near Briggsdale.

    The contrail looks like it is coming off of the ground because the airplane was flying straight at the position where your wife observed it. The start of the contrail just means that the jet just hit a layer of cold enough air with the right humidity level to create a contrail, was likely ascending when it hit the layer.

    It was a lovely day @ C.R.A.S.H. with lots of attendees. Couple of H motors but nothing flew that was that smoky to that altitude on Saturday.
    ...

    If that is a model rocket sighting that would have required a large smoky motor in the L to M range imo. If it was as big of a rocket as described then there should have been a notam issued. Otherwise it would have been (probably) flown illegally.

    Another option if its not a plane contrail - maybe there was a TARC project at a high school, though I believe they only use F size motors & don't require a waiver.

    I don't have anything else to offer. Admittedly, the photo looks more like a contrail to me than a rocket/missile.
