Is temperature the only determinant of intensity, or could this also depend on something like opacity, emissivity or reflectance? Could these be ordinary contrails?

I'd heavily recommend the metabunk thread linked by rahimiali. Reflection off a perfectly ordinary contrail is a likely explanation..
