No....you saw airplane after airplane. You can NOT see the jet all the way to the horizon! Do you have any idea the distance that your field of view encompasses, when you look up? (Presuming you are on flat ground, with no obstructions).
The curvature of the Earth limits that range.....it's called "Line-of-Sight". In the air, Line of Sight comes into play for VHF radio reception...for us. (and, since VHF travels in straight lines, not curves, this defines the extreme *edge*.....it is far more than can be seen with the naked eye, though...of course). At 35,000 feet, for example, the LoS is about 220 NM (nautical miles). It is shorter, the lower you go.
YOU can NOT see a jet from 200 miles away....even at 35,000 feet, it's around 7 miles away....as it moves downrange, by 20 miles, you will need magnification to see it (unless, you're SuperMan?).
You saw multiple airplanes, coming into the range where you could see them....

no proof so it didn't happen.
pictures of contrails is not proof of chemtrails. it is proof of contrails.
Can you analyze these contrails and tell me they aren't what they appear to be? no you cant, so until that happens there will never be any credible believers, just fear mongerers.

Very funny! Had me ROFLMAO! Now take the sticker off the footwarming switch, or I'll tell the pilot!
