It's a mixture of either Iridescence or Nacreous clouds. But, I think you're right in that there is also missile or jet contrails. A busy little sky.

Hi informer. So, you also know about that site. They have awesome photos of clouds. It says where the photo was taken,type of cloud, optical effects... I learned a lot about clouds, optical effects and phenomenas from them.
I got so carried away I downloaded about 60.

This is technically a chemical trail, but it is created from the byproduct of missile exhaust mixing with high atmospheric conditions (including sub-freezing temperatures) which cause the beautiful refractions you see. I grew up in "the OC" and one could see these remnants from launches at Vandenberg AFB all the time (~170 miles/270 KM away).
