Maybe I'm off base, but in that light setting the refraction of light can make the white vapour appear dark as in a silhouette. I'd bet that if viewed from the oncoming direction it would appear white. Optical illusions at their best?

It wasn't as dark as the pic looks and there were other jets in the air.had I not been pulled over in a bad place I'd have taken a better one. Now I know how those people who take a pic of big foot or ufo's feel.
