I kept an open mind on this whopper, but I am afraid it is game, set and match to Jetliner... it is definitely something on your lens. There can be no other explanation for the position being identical in both pictures. The cloud explanation is a diversion, the aircraft is moving quickly, there is no possible way to tell if it was 10 to 15 minutes apart or 2 minutes apart, but the photo evidence is compelling.
Time to sheepishly apologise whopper!
