The trails that people see behind airplanes are called contrails or vapor trails. https://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-trending-62240071 https://science.howstuffworks.com/transport/flight/modern/what-are-chemtrails.htm https://www.theburningplatform.com/2018/02/07/the-real-purpose-of-chemtrails/ https://www.vice.com/en/article/zm8d4e/send-this-article-to-all-your-friends-who-believe-in-chemtrails https://www.aerosociety.com/news/chemtrails-debunked/ https://www.verifythis.com/article/news/verify/social-media/those-long-thin-clouds-you-see-behind-planes-are-contrails-not-chemtrails/536-2dc0433f-b0ce-4577-803a-c94c1525b47a
