Details:
While waiting for a visible pass of Blue Walker 3 and also watching an approaching thunderstorm from the northeast I noticed a silvery cloud low in the west-northwest. This looks like the tell tale remnant cloud from a rocket launch. Sure enough the most recent STARLINK launch took place 2h 40m prior to the photo being shot at 6:50pm MST/PDT. The direction of the extended cloud appears to be in synch with the VAFB azimuth area.
