No. Those are contrails. Chemtrails don't exist.

What is an "outrageously persistent contrail?"
It is? What exceptions?
Further, if contrail formation doesn't meet historically set precedents, the science is changed to 'include' these exceptions.

Is the confirmation that chemtrails do exist, the lack of contrails left behind craft at similar altitudes to those leaving them?
Sat in my yard one day just to observe jet flybys. I live in the NYC metro area so there's plenty of air traffic from the many airports. I witnessed high altitude flights leaving sustained trails and others with a similar heading, leaving nothing at all. As a matter of fact, the trails that were being left by craft were all from craft heading in the same direction. I found that to be interesting. What was further interesting was seeing a jet fly through the trail, heading in a different direction, yet leaving nothing behind. I know nothing about aeronautics or atmospheric science, but this didn't seem to be logical.

No, they were likely at different altitudes, see:

Except one side is backed by science and history, and the other is not.

Yes they look like "chemtrails,"
What do "Chemtrails" look like?

For ME they are the likes of something I never grew up seeing in my sky....which entails quite a few decades. I may not give the answer you are looking for, but I DO know when I'm being baited by someone who THINKS he's a smartass!
Have a few decades under my belt too LOL I remember as a kid, seeing them was something special and we used to make a big deal about them. Not much any more. Actually see them at much lower altitudes than I remember too.

Yeah even more than 40 years ago. So what? As I stated in my prior post, the observations I made the other day seem to be conflicting with the idea that they aren't spraying anything. I witnessed a jet fly through the trail of another without leaving one. This happened within a few minutes. I also remember from childhood that in order to see such a wondrous site, for a kid, it had to be a a really high elevation. Not so much any more. And, for a planet that's "warming, it's a wonder that we see them at the elevations we do.

I have more than a few decades but I've learned that a lot of my childhood memories have little to do with reality.
You know there are more planes flying at the altitudes which produce contrails than there were 30 years ago, right?

That could be purely down to different engine types. See following and scroll down to the Airbus (Turbofan) and the older Boeing (Turbojet). Same altitude and the Boeing isn't producing contrails.

Variations in height can also be a factor. See following video showing B-17s during WW2 climbing and producing contrails. Yes even propellor driven aircraft can produce them! Some chemtrail believers will still argue blind that they can't!
Watch from 14:00. Note at 14:51 some of the B-17s producing intermittent contrails. Note at 14:54 you can see a B-17 at a lower height and not producing contrails.
Such is the 'threat' of the WW2 contrail footage that the desperate die-hards can only resort to claims of fakery and manipulation. See the ludicrous Tanker Enemy links. Thousands of WW2 Aircrew Veterans are still alive and can refute his non-sense. I feel sorry for the younger generations stumbling on this 'chemtrail non-sense' and sucked into his money making scam.

As I said, childhood memories are not the most reliable. But I haven't seen contrails forming much lower than about 30,000 feet. How are you determining the altitude?

How are you determining the altitude? Temperatures in the upper troposphere are still very cold.
And, for a planet that's "warming, it's a wonder that we see them at the elevations we do.

How do you know it flew through the trail? Looks can be very deceiving when you are looking at something miles above you with no frame of reference.

I agree. testing is the only way to determine what's going on up there.

chemtrails (if you believe in such nonsense) would look exactly like contrails.
so isn't it pointless to post pic's?
