#unicornchallenge – September 24, 2024
He heard the growl of the plane and saw the contrails it left visible in the sky. He was in the parking lot of this development and everyone around him was pointing skyward. What was so special about contrails left by a high-flying aircraft?
The people started running toward the buildings, taking cover. He walked into one of the shops where others were gathered. There was a woman there and he asked her what the excitement was about.
“Why don’t you know about them chem-trails,” she asked.
“Chem-trails.” He pondered the term. “Ma’am, those are just vapor trails left by high-flying aircraft.”
“On no,” she said. “Don’t you know about that government program that uses those planes and those helicopters to drop harmful material into the air?”
Puzzled, he asked, “What material?”
“Heavy metals, plastics, and other stuff.”
The lady smiled and said, “They are trying to block out the sun. Trying to cause us to get sick. The current U.S. administration is trying to mess with the weather.”
“Ma’am, I think you’re mistaken,” the man replied.
“Oh no,” she said. “Ask anyone.”
After the man got home, he researched “chem-trails.” He found that it is a popular conspiracy theory and recently has been attributed to the current U.S. government by its opposition.
He shook his head, astounded. He thought to himself that the people who believe this will be a part of the voting population. What is going to happen to us?
