Original Note:
The white streaks are airplane contrails. They are formed when water vapor condenses and freezes around aircraft exhaust, diffusing and thus becoming wider over time. This is a totally natural event. Contrails are not used for geoengineering. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2023/04/14/fact-check-chemtrails-arent-real-arent-related-climate-change/11624336002/ https://observer.com/2018/05/why-do-people-believe-in-weather-conspiracy-theories-like-chemtrails/ https://science.howstuffworks.com/transport/flight/modern/what-are-chemtrails.htm
