    Chemtrails

    this is nonsense. "contrails" are often the nucleation sites for clouds, some of which grow to cover the entire sky in any one place, so you can't say that contrails disappear after 10-15 minutes. Often they don't disappear, they actually linger and grow. and what's the actual evidence that...
