I used to laugh at chemtrail folks until I looked at flight radar data

For years I thought chemtrail believers were just seeing things. Then I pulled up FlightRadar24 during a clear day in Phoenix and noticed 3 military planes doing weird grid patterns at 30,000 feet while commercial flights took totally different routes. The EPA even did a study in 2015 that found barium and aluminum particles in soil samples near those patterns. Has anyone else checked flight paths during a "normal" sky and seen something strange?

My cousin actually works in meteorology and he told me about this study a few years back. He said the soil samples were legit but the EPA downplayed it because they couldn't prove where the barium came from, could have been natural or from industrial pollution. But I've been checking flight patterns myself since then and there's definitely some weird stuff going on. Saw a KC-135 doing loops over rural Oregon last summer for about an hour while all the passenger jets were going straight to Portland. It's hard to laugh it off when you start seeing the patterns with your own eyes.

Wait, did you notice if the KC-135 was refueling or just circling? I saw the same thing over eastern Washington last fall, tanker doing figure eights for like 45 minutes with no other planes around, and flight radar showed it as "unknown.

Actually, KC-135s don't refuel on their own, they're the tankers, so if it was circling solo it was probably just training.
