These shoot up or down from the sky and leave a trail of smoke. Are these meteors?

    Not sure why this is getting downvoted. He’s not wrong. We really do use chemicals to try and get it to rain more.

      because when people talk about chemtrails, and they point to examples, it’s usually very obviously not cloud seeding. which wouldn’t be particuarly visible considering they burn the silver iodide inside clouds. to. seed. the cloud. (it doesn’t create clouds. it causes clouds to precipitate into rain.)

      We do. In specific circumstances. The conspiracy of chemtrails is that all airplanes are releasing chemical agents other than combustion products for nefarious purposes. They are getting downvoted for suggesting the existence of a technology proves its constant use.

      All Airplanes release chemicals - True (exhaust)

      Airplanes can be used to release other chemical agents - True (crop dusting, air show smoke, cloud seeding, firefighting slurry)

      United Flight 237 is used to spread chemical agents - False
