While following the evolution of an usually shaped trail (the bottom one, just above the roof), I have taken a picture of an ordinary linear contrail (the top one), which appear to be truly remarkable - it has been formed at 23,000 feet.
It was left by this plane:
Here is an FR24 screenshot with the identification of the plane and its altitude:
I think the formation of this trail at lower than typical contrail altitudes was possible because this is a turboprop plane, which engines produce a much cooler exhaust than the jet's turbofan engines:
