OK, finally got around to gathering up those resources.
1) flight tracking
http://www.flightradar24.com/
https://globe.adsbexchange.com/ (will show masked flights)
https://www.flightaware.com/
https://www.aviarlabs.com/ (Advanced users only)
2) Radiosonde data
https://weather.cod.edu/analysis/ (left navbar 'Upper AIr Soundings'
https://weather.uwyo.edu/upperair/sounding.html
https://www.spc.noaa.gov/exper/soundings/
https://weather.uwyo.edu/upperair/bufrraob.shtml (has worldwide data)
3) Upper atmostphere moisture maps

The process goes like this.
1) Identify flight leaving persistent trail. I recommend using a simple handheld orienteering with a rotating dial so you can get an accurate flight heading. You'll also want to take a photo and note the exact time of day.
2) Use this information to get a positive ID on the aircraft using one of the flight tracking apps. Once identified, you'll be able to obtain the flights altitude at the exact time marked down in step 1.
3) Load up the radiosonde skew-T charts from an airport nearest to your location using one of the sites listed above. Once you learn how to interpret these charts, you will be able to determine if atmospheric conditions conducive to both natural and artificially seeded cloud formation exist or not.
4) Cross reference this data with maps of upper atmosphere humidity levels, to determine if large masses of moist air exist where the aircraft are flying or not.
Jet engines produce massive quantities of both soot (particulates which form nuclei for water droplets) and water vapor. If these are being deposited in parts of the atmosphere that are already loaded with moisture, bang, you have artificially seeded jet cirrus clouds.
If you're seeing persistent trails where neither cloud formations exist AND there's not much upper atmosphere moisture THEN you have the 'smoking gun'.
To do this properly you'll probably need someone to walk you through it once or twice. It's somewhat bewildering if you've never done it before, but anyone with a reasonable grasp of data and technology can be taught the process in less than an hour or two, tops.
