Pro tip: My uncle's offhand comment about chemtrails got me looking at old weather data

He just said 'check the flight paths from 1990 vs now' and after pulling up satellite records for our county I noticed the spray patterns line up way too close with commercial routes. Has anyone else actually compared historical flight logs to these maps?

My buddy down in Tucson got curious about this last year after his kids asked about the clouds. He pulled up some old flight maps from 1995 and compared them to recent ones for the same area around the airport. The difference was wild, the newer maps showed these thick, consistent bands over neighborhoods that barely existed back then. He even noticed the spray patterns matched the growth of new housing developments right under those routes. Kinda makes you wonder who decided that was okay.

Yeah, I did pretty much the same thing last year after hearing a similar comment. Took the flight logs from 1990 and 2020 and overlaid them on the same map. The banding patterns are so close to the commercial routes it's hard to call it a coincidence. @martinez.anna, your buddy in Tucson's onto something, especially with those newer neighborhoods getting the thicker bands.
