As the jet pushes through the air at high speed, it is compressing air. That causes low pressure in front of it which causes moisture in the air to condense. You see that same effect over the top surface of a wing on high- G turns. But you'll never see it in a desert area or at high altitudes- you need wet air.

Exactly right....elevation, temp and I think humidity might play a part in it to.
A couple Navy jets accidently...:huh: went supersonic off the Milwaukee shoeline about 20 years ago. The BOOM broke windows in Hartford which is 50 miles from downtown Milwaukee. Chit hit the fan...big no no over US air space.
