Wow, what part of the country? I’ve only ever seen them in photos, never in real life. And there are quite a few planes, as I live near 2 airports. I look at the sky quite a bit. Either they don’t do chemtrails here in South FL, or they only do them when it’s overcast so you can’t see them.
I never see them on Pinellas coast. I see obvious contrails, but never those basket weave patterns like over LA.
I’m in SoCal. We see them every other morning.
