One plane? You have identified it by tail number? It sounds more likely that a number of separate planes have flown over your location. Contrails are the result of atmospheric humidity saturation. If airplanes fly through a region of such saturation, they will leave contrails.
If you see a lot of tiremarks over a stretch of highway, do you conclude that ONE VEHICLE is passing to and fro---or that a number of unrelated vehicles have simply passed through?
I’m talking about watching a single plane fly a grid pattern. Goes one way, turns around, goes back a few miles further on. Keeps going. I’ve seen it multiple times. And this happens outside the normal flight paths toward the airport.
Now that does sound interesting. Have you been able to contact the airport or air traffic control authorities to determine what is going on? Possibly it is an air surveying operation.
