The chemtrail conspiracy theory posits that the trails left by aircraft in the sky are not simply condensation, but rather a deliberate release of chemicals by the government for nefarious purposes such as weather control or population control. Believers point to the unusual patterns and persistence of these trails as evidence of their claims. However, scientists have debunked this theory, explaining that the trails are indeed condensation and that there is no evidence to support the idea of a government chemtrail program.
