Well lets see, when I used to work on those jets we called them contrails.
Pilots called them contrails.
Flight Ops called them contrails.
ATC folks called them contrails.
Ramp Crew called them contrails.
Fuelers called them contrails.
Mechanics called them contrails…
Shall I continue?
Yes, they are water vapor, same as clouds.
And yes, they can persist just like clouds, as both are made of the same substance…
Water.

So what do you propose we call the lingering and dissipating material that comes from the butt end of jets?
Is it just water vapor? If so, then why do some linger for hours?(Perhaps not the trail shown in this video)

For your question, who said they couldn't?

So you're saying that they are the result of new type engines?
Originally posted by f3rm1N
If so why don't we see any of the new commercial airline planes showing such an effect?

I don't think they have anything to do with specific routes because when studying their movements they don't seem to be heading anywhere in specific and that would imply that if they were on a specific route towards somewhere then we'd have another conspiracy in the fact that they all seem to only release these contrails in the specific area.

Can you provide any more information on these routes you speak of? and anything on their purpose perhaps?
IFR
In the United States and the Southern Domestic Airspace of Canada (SDA), airspace from 18,000 to 60,000 feet (5,586 to 18,288 meters) is designated as class A, requiring an IFR clearance for all aircraft.
Military Operations Area
A military operations area (MOA) is "airspace established outside Class A airspace to separate or segregate certain nonhazardous military activities from IFR Traffic and to identify for VFR traffic where these activities are conducted." (14 CFR §1.1, U.S.A.) Similar structures exist under international flight standards. These are designed for routine training or testing maneuvers. Areas near actual combat or other military emergencies are generally designated as restricted airspace. See Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR).
TFR
This section describes a Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR). A TFR is a geographically-limited, short-term, airspace restriction, typically in the United States. Temporary flight restrictions often encompass major sporting events, natural disaster areas, air shows, space launches, and Presidential movements.
(a) The FAA will issue a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) designating an area of airspace in which a temporary flight restriction applies when it determines that a temporary flight restriction is necessary to protect persons or property on the surface or in the air, to maintain air safety and efficiency, or to prevent the unsafe congestion of aircraft in the vicinity of an aerial demonstration or major sporting event. These demonstrations and events may include:
Restricted Airspace
Restricted airspace is an area (volume) of airspace in which the local controlling authorities have determined that air traffic must be restricted (if not continually prohibited) for safety or security concerns. It is one of many types of special use airspace designations and is depicted on aeronautical charts with the letter "R" followed by a serial number.
NOTAM
NOTAM or NoTAM is the quasi-acronym for a "Notice To Airmen". NOTAMs are created and transmitted by government agencies under guidelines specified by Annex 15: Aeronautical Information Services of the Convention on International Civil Aviation. A NOTAM is filed with an aviation authority to alert aircraft pilots of any hazards en route or at a specific location. The authority in turn provides means of disseminating relevant NOTAMs to pilots.
NOTAMs are issued (and reported) for a number of reasons, such as:
hazards such as air-shows, parachute jumps, kite flying, rocket launches, etc.
flights by important people such as heads of state (sometimes referred to as Temporary Flight Restrictions, TFRs)
closed runways
inoperable radio navigational aids
Mlitary exercises with resulting airspace restrictions
inoperable lights on tall obstructions
temporary erection of obstacles near airfields (e.g. cranes)
passage of flocks of birds through airspace (a NOTAM in this category is known as a BIRDTAM)
notifications of runway/taxiway/apron status with respect to snow, ice and standing water (a SNOWTAM)
notification of an operationally significant change in volcanic ash or other dust contamination (an ASHTAM)
software code risk announcements with associated patches to reduce specific vulnerabilities

because I find it fairly obvious that they seem to be there to release these contrails and not that it seems to be a byproduct of them passing through.

Notice this video quality is so poor you can't even see the wings on the airplane clearly. Chances are, those are birds and they never got anywhere near the contrail, of course if you can't see the airplane wings why would you see the bird wings? That's why they look like dots.

Considering that there is no such thing as a Chemtrail, what does that tell us about the credibility of this footages author?

I have all kinds of picture of them spraying over my area..will share if I had time tonight , just saying they do this everywhere not just large population areas..I would kill to know what they are doing
