Chemtrail Conspiracy Theory: People Actually Believe This?!?
Over the years, we’ve seen a huge increase in the normalization of conspiracy theories. I suspect that’s largely due to the internet making us all more connected, so it’s easier to find more people out there with similar beliefs.

While nothing new, there’s one particularly bizarre conspiracy theory when it comes to aviation. What’s so incredibly stupid is that we’re now seeing politicians pass laws based on something that doesn’t actually happen.
The basics of the chemtrail conspiracy theory
It’s totally normal for aircraft to leave behind contrails as they fly through the sky. These are the white lines you’ll observe behind aircraft, as they fly at high altitudes.
The explanation for these is very simple, and the scientific community is in complete agreement — they’re condensation trails, which form when hot exhaust from jets meets cold, humid air, at high altitudes. This happens all over the world, and it has been the case for decades.
However, over time, there has been an increasingly common conspiracy theory, suggesting that the government or another secretive organization is using commercial and military aircraft to release chemicals into the atmosphere, which are used for everything ranging from weather modification to mind control.
What’s the basis for this? Well, I don’t know, you guys tell me. I guess there are a bunch of “whistleblowers.” But it’s never actually someone reputable who says “yep, I was involved in this, and it’s true.” Instead, it’s like the below video, where “in 2014, my cousin sent me information given to him by a friend who is an Air Force pilot, who flies chemtrail flights.” Right…
