Hmm it probably is an airplane contrail. Excess humidity made it last longer than usual and it eventually "diffused" and got wider.
Everyone is explaining the contrail, without bothering to mention that whatever-the-fuck it is, is going straight UP! Sorry, if airplane can create a contrail like that fine. But no aircraft on the planet would create one from horizon to sky like that.......

The photo perspective highly skews it. It's not going straight up. Other picture show it moving more obliquely.

If you want to know if a contrail was possible you could just check the reanalysis charts for the day and see how humid it was. To form a contrail you need water, well actually a few other things in more detail but water is a very good start.
