Almost everything the OP said wrong. Your explanation about the clouds behind the plane is correct. If you go to Europe where the air is cleaner and less dense, you will see more of the contrails. Now to the subject matter, aircraft's dump fuel because of emergency. If a plane is going to have an emergency landing that may result to a fire, like the landing gear are not activating, then fuel is dumped so that the chances/ scale of fire outbreak is reduced. Chei.
