Used to think chemtrails were fake until I saw that plane over Phoenix last summer

I was out hiking near South Mountain in Phoenix around 5 PM when I looked up and saw this plane leaving a trail that just hung in the sky for over 20 minutes. It didn't spread out like normal contrails I've seen before. I timed it on my phone and it stayed visible way longer than any other plane that day. That got me reading about aerosol spraying programs and now I'm not so sure it's all just weather control theories. Has anyone else watched a trail linger for that long and changed their stance on this?

Ever try sitting on your porch and actually timing one of those long trails with a stopwatch? I did that after a similar thing happened over Tucson last spring... normal flights would leave trails that faded in 3-4 minutes but this one stuck around for a solid 17 minutes before it started breaking up. The color was different too, more of a milky white instead of the usual icy blue. I started looking up flight paths afterward and found that some of those planes don't show up on normal tracking sites like FlightRadar24. You might want to grab a cheap pair of binoculars and check for unusual markings or lack of airline logos next time.

Reminds me of the time I was out in the desert near Roswell a few years back. Not saying it's related, but I was watching this one trail that just would not go away. I clocked it at over 20 minutes before the wind finally broke it apart. Checked FlightRadar24 later and the only thing in that area was a Cessna that didn't match the altitude or speed. Also noticed the trail had this weird orange tint at sunrise, like it was trailing something dusty. Probably just a military practice run, but it's odd how often you can spot something that doesn't add up if you actually look up and pay attention.
