That’s part of the mechanism to be able to track you later.

I agree with you, but just be careful - calling someone out on their conspiracy theory beliefs here recently got me threatened with a ban.

So explain to me something. I looked up and saw two jet liners cruising if I were to guess about the same altitude and the planes looked to be 737 size jets. Both in the sky at the same time. One going North the other South. One had a contrail that dissipated in about a minute. The other planes "contrail" stayed up for hours and only spread out never evaporating like the other plane. Strange both planes in relatively the same atmospheric temps and such, you would really think the contrails would be more similar. Really makes you think though.

For the love of Orville and Wilbur I hope to hell you’re kidding.

But just in case…

No. It don’t really make you think. Unless you’re a complete moron. I’ll simplify it using the smallest words I can. First of all, planes flying in different directions will most likely be at different altitudes, especially if they are in vicinity of each other and most certainly there will be different temperatures at different altitudes.

Second, they’re called contrails, not “contrails” or chem trails. Contrails are simply water vapor from spent fuel that is freezing behind the plane, hence white trail behind the plane. Those appear based on a few things, most of all which way the wind is blowing. If a plane has a tail wind it’s not spending as much fuel so you get thin or no contrails. A plane flying into the wind will burn more fuel, a lot more, sending out a lot of water vapor causing a contrail.

And yes, the wind can be blowing different directions at different altitudes, so it’s possible to have contrails in different directions.

Sorry to dispel your beliefs, but this is fact.

This is crazy but my dogs love tamales. I heat them up in the microwave and then peel the skins off and then wait untill they cool off before I feed them or they will burn their tongues. I love dogs more than most people
