Original Note:
These are contrails (or Condensation Trails) a well understood, and harmless, phenomenon resulting from the exhaust of jet aircraft. The vapor condenses into water droplets which freeze if the temperature is low enough. "Chemtrails" are a baseless conspiracy theory. https://fullfact.org/online/longer-aircraft-trails-not-chemtrails/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contrail https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-9326/11/8/084011/pdf
