[man 1] Look around. Look at this. [man 2] They're accelerating a plan, man. [man 3] Why are they doing it? [man 4] Jets. Population control. [man 5] Look up, people. Look. [Karlie] Chemical trails. Is there any truth
behind this speculation? I decided to take my inquiry
to Torrey Ward, a commercial pilot with over 11,000 hours
of flight experience in more than 80 types of aircraft. He should have a scientific explanation for what those mysterious streaks

that are left in the sky after a jet flies through the air, is there any truth to the theory
that there's chemicals that are released by the government?
