I've seen something like that a few times - but only since moving West. I think the atmospheric conditions needed to have no clouds yet hold a contrail are not quite as very rare out here, where there's a few thousand miles of ocean just upwind.
Yesterday I witnessed something I've recognized as very rare out here. We've had storms, and one was breaking up at sunset. The clouds went from white to creamy to gray to dark, without the slightest hint of salmon or peach. I've noticed that once four years ago, and then again last evening. Usually the clouds pick up SOME color at dusk.

<<Yesterday I saw something I've never seen before - pink jet trails in a perfectly blue sky. >>

I've seen that and it's pretty beyond words. We get that in spring and fall due to the dust of plowing and harvesting.

In '74 my dad and I were coming back from Canada, driving through Wisconsin. He pointed to the clouds and asked if I had ever heard the song Buttermilk Sky. I said I had. He said "Now you have just seen one." Can't believe I remember that, wouldn't mind doing it over.
