Where do you live?
How often have have you seen them?

One time I drove from Missoula, MT to Spokane WA and the sky had a tic tac toe pattern the whole way! They are here very often.

What do you think it is?

I don't mean the regular contrails.

I've seen the tic tac toe pattern as well as parallel lines.
I'm suspicious, but I broke it down to 3 possibilities:

1. Contrails. I've seen them since I was a kid, but never took notice as to whether they lasted long or short and the pattern until all this hype about chemtrails. It would be interesting to speak to an old time jet pilot '50s-'60s to see if he notices anything strange.

2. New World Order plan to INDUCE global warming. Make no mistake about it. There is a plan to unite the world under a global government. Global Warming IS part of that plan as it provides an issue which the world must unite to solve. This furthers global legislation supercedes national sovereignty and promotes a "global consciousness". Why don't they call it "environmental warming"? That would be a more proper name. Instead, it is MARKETED to us with the term "Global Warming" to get us to think in a particular way. Jet contrails have been PROVEN to increase atmospheric warming. Studies done in the week after 9/11 (planes grounded) have proved this. Could this be accomplished with a simple fuel additive to increase contrail condensation?

3. A NWO red herring. Something to distract us from the totalitarianism being imposed on us right under our noses.

They are not "chemtrails", they are condensation trails or contrails caused by the passage of jet aircraft. I answered similar question recently so I will give you the same answer:

During the Second World War, bomber and fighter pilots noticed that they left contrails at some levels but not at others. On a day when contrails were happening, the safest level to fly was just below the level at which they occurred. Any enemy aircraft higher up would be leaving a trail and would be easy to see. This led to a study of contrails and a method of predicting the level at which they would occur was devised.

There are two different types of condensation trail. If you are in an aeroplane on a day with showers around, look at the wings as the plane descends. You will see a trail of what looks like grey smoke streaming from the end of the wing. The motion of air across the wing creates a vortex at the wing tip. The drop in pressure across the vortex is enough, on a humid day, to cause the water vapour to condense into cloud droplets and this is seen streaming from the wing tip. These condensation trails evaporate quickly behind the plane.

The trails we see high in the sky are made by the engines, not vortices at the wing tips. When fuel is burnt, water vapour is produced. We can see this coming from car exhausts on frosty mornings. The water vapour in the hot exhaust gases condenses in the cold air. The same thing happens with aircraft exhausts and the condensed water droplets leave a visible trail behind the aircraft. If the air is dry, the water droplets quickly evaporate and the contrail disappears. If the air is moist, the contrail can last a few minutes before it evaporates.

Water vapour will not spontaneously condense into water droplets. The water has to condense onto something. These are called condensation nuclei. Salt and dust particles are common nuclei. Smoke particles are also good nuclei. If the air is very clean and lacking in condensation nuclei it can become supersaturated. There is plenty of water vapour in the air but it can't condense. An aeroplane flies through this supersaturated air pumping out not only water vapour but also billions of smoke particles onto which the water vapour can condense. A condensation trail forms and stays for a long time. Sometimes these trails can spread out to form a sheet of cloud across the sky.

If you want some amusement, you should look up "chemtrails" on your favourite search engine. There is a major conspiracy theory that condensation trails are attempts by the government to poison the population. This is not the case and never has been.

A rare form of trail is the dissipation trail or distrail. As a plane flies through high-level cloud, the heat from the engines evaporates the cloud cutting a clear line through the cloud. Distrails can be confused with the shadows of contrails. A contrail above a thin layer of cloud will cast a shadow on the cloud layer leaving an odd-looking dark line. It is particularly strange if the cloud layer cannot be easily seen.

You mean Contrails? They are left by high flying jets. The location you specify must be under a busy flight route. Commercial jets follow specific routes to and from cities (Like roadways).
