Did anybody wonder why the “contrail” is thicker, not thinner, 200 miles away (and presumably, 20 minutes later)?

Last question. In your reading, I imagine you saw that some contrails grow if the humidity is high enough, rather than thin out. Numerous pictures of this are available. They also spread naturally as clouds of smoke, etc. do.

Second question mentions "moving obviously faster than sound." Where does that come from?

First question. The track of the UPS plane is probably still available. I don't know it anyone has checked altitudes. As far as the humidity, changes can be small and local and not easily determined.

BTW, have you see the San Clemente picture from December 31st 2009?

Here's the article:

Here's the picture.

Unless the video has been speeded up, that object, at 37,000 feet, is moving much faster than a subsonic jet. This is from many observations.
