  • On 13 December 2015, an image purportedly showing a chemtrails switch started recirculating around the internet after it was posted to the web site Reddit. Conspiracy theorists pushing the idea that chemtrails exist have been using the above-displayed photo as proof since at least 2014, when it was posted on a JetCareers.com forum.

It merely proves that some internet users have access to photo editing software. The chemtrails switch photo is a digital manipulation. One way to identify the photo as a fraud is by examining the font. The E, M, T, and S used to spell Chemtrails is different than the E, M, T,and S used in other labels from the same image: Several commentators on both the Reddit thread and the JetCareers forum noted that the original image was taken of an overhead panel on a Embraer ERJ 145. A diagram of this panel from the EMB 145 study guide shows the same configuration as the panel in the above-displayed photo, only the chemtrails switch is marked as a Sterile Light switch: Furthermore, the Redditor who uploaded the photo claimed that they shared the image as a joke: [article-meta] (en)
