I'm guessing this is related to moisture content, but if anybody knows more specifics, I'd love to hear it.

Me also, but the nice thing about clouds is, much like a Rorschach blot it can be anything we want.I'm seeing a baby alligator head.
Saw this a while back. Never seen anything like it. Anyone know what's going on here?

yep that's what they call a fallstreak hole. Or, as you correctly point out it could be a...I'll take a stab since I love a good science mystery. Complete meteorological layman's WAG here.
Looks like a contrail somehow disrupted the thin layer of cumulus clouds. Which appear to be flattened out against a higher layer of cooler/drier air. IF it is a contrail cloud, I'm guessing the jet seeded the cloud as it rose through the same layer of warmer/humid air that formed the cumulus. As the contrail cloud rose, it grew and wicked moisture from the surrounding air, creating a depletion zone with little to no condensation. Once the jet punched into the cool/dry layer, there wasn't enough moisture to form a contrail. Or winds in that layer blew it away.
Either that, or it's a gigantic, flying, albino centipede.
