And jf something were being sprayed, wouldn't it look like a persistent contrail?
But you already know what I've been seeing better than I do, right?
No. It isn't steam. It is a cloud of tiny ice crystals. Just like a cirrus cloud is a cloud of tiny ice crystals.
Today when you see a contrail, it's basically steam from the moisture coming out of the engine, it can't stay steam for long at 20-30,000 ft.
Contrails are clouds formed when water vapor condenses and freezes around small particles (aerosols) that exist in aircraft exhaust. Some of that water vapor comes from the air around the plane; and, some is added by the exhaust of the aircraft.
Yes, they are. Both types are normal. It depends on the humdity level whether or not they persist.
Those that linger all day long are NOT normal. Sometimes you can look up, and see a jet passing, with a normal contrail barely following it as it dissipates.
The spreading out of jet contrails into extensive cirrus sheets is a familiar sight. Often, when persistent conditions exist from 25,000 to 40,000ft, several long contrails increase in number and gradually merge into an almost solid interlaced sheet.
I was thinking, perhaps there is an ourbreak of some kind of virus or bacterium that is affecting the globe, and perhaps, "chemtrails" are a kind of medication to alleviate the symptoms of such bacteria.
Exactly. The old days, 50's and 60's there were hardly any, if there were any, it was smoke from old jet engines. Today, jet engines are state of the art, VERY little smoke if any at all, they are designed to be highly efficient compared to when they first came out. Smoking engines are not efficient. So you would expect to never see persistent contrails.
Today when you see a contrail, it's basically steam from the moisture coming out of the engine, it can't stay steam for long at 20-30,000 ft. because it's WAY too cold. And before anyone says it, NO, there's not enough steam coming out of the engines to make a cloud... so they dissipate almost right behind the jet. THAT is a normal contrail. Those that linger all day long are NOT normal.

I haven't insulted anyone, I'm just replying in kind to the way you're replying to me.
Live by the sword, die by the sword dude, if you can't take it, don't dish it.

Reading is your friend.
I do believe all these persistent contrails are suspicious.

There are chemtrails and there are contrails. And considering that chemtrails are done in secrecy and under cover of black-ops type operations .......

You said that you don't believe in chemtrails, but you find contrails suspicious. In what way do you find the suspicious if they're not chemtrails? What do you suspect them of?
