I saw what seemed to be an aircraft (all though it was some distance away and i couldnt see shape or any defining attributes.)
But It most definately was a form of an aircraft as it was leaving a contrail behind it......and it would shoot straight up, stop for a few seconds...and then drop...repeatedly
The strangest part of all this was when it was ascending it was moving at precisely the same speed it was when it was descending.
I watched it do this for approx 5 minutes, and then it just vanished, mid flight leaving the trail to dissipate.
Contrails are clouds formed when water vapor condenses and freezes around small particles (aerosols) that exist in aircraft exhaust.

I will try and help take a look at this with you... Based on your description I would lean towards some type of top secret military aircraft, if it is infact a manufactured flying craft.

Now most of the reports of ET hypothesis' for UFO reports, reference objects moving completely free of our atmosphere, gravity, etc.. And several reports I have heard from relevant UFO activists claim that alien based UFO's operate by anti-gravity devices.
Because of this I am lead to believe that if aliens are visiting us, they are of a much higher intelligence. And also that their planetary vehicles would be much more advanced and probably wouldn't leave chemicals in the atmosphere to create contrails.
Again, I would say of the bat that we are more likely looking at a military vehicle, and that is where I shall start...

A new metamaterial created by Rice University scientists could hide objects from human sight.
By creating perfectly aligned dimples in a material, the scientists channeled specific wavelengths of light from many directions into one uniform direction.
The first "invisibility cloak," which hid objects from radio waves, was created in 2006 by scientists from Duke. Since then scientists have tried to create ever-smaller structures to manipulate the visible spectrum of light.

First off.... Invisibility Cloaking:
Invisibility cloaking has definatley been researched before by both independent and military organizations. One such case by cloaking metamaterials by scientists at Rice University has shown we do posses the technology to create such an effect.

And references to the Philadelphia Experiment lead one to believe that the military has ACTIVELY been involved in researching an invisibility cloak. This was back in the 60's, no telling what technology they have now.
Because of this I would say its fairly safe to assume that such technology is being used throughout the world. This would explain how the "craft" was able to quickly "vanish" from sight.

I remember reading recently about a massive fleet of UFO's being reported in, or around a thunderstorm; with some people claiming that they were of an intelligent origin and were there to study the storm.
This is something the military uses to classify the phenomena, with various explainations of what could be the specific cause for each occurrence.
French studies include GEPAN/SEPRA/GEIPAN (1977–), within the French space agency CNES, the longest ongoing government-sponsored investigation. About 14% of some 6000 cases studied remained unexplained. The official opinion of GEPAN/SEPRA/GEIPAN has been neutral or negative, but the three heads of the studies have gone on record in stating that UFOs were real physical flying machines beyond our knowledge or that the best explanation for the most inexplicable cases was an extraterrestrial one.
The French COMETA panel (1996–1999) was a private study undertaken mostly by aerospace scientists and engineers affiliated with CNES and high-level French Air Force military intelligence analysts, with ultimate distribution of their study intended for high government officials. The COMETA panel likewise concluded the best explanation for the inexplicable cases was the extraterrestrial hypothesis and went further in accusing the United States government of a massive cover-up.
