Chemtrails or contrails?

[SunDogDayze]

Hey guys, I did a search first, but there wasn't really anything in the last year or so about these things. I want to get opinions and ideas from you all.

I live in Jacksonville, FL. We have an airport about 30 miles north of where these pictures were taken, and a naval base about 5 miles north. The naval base is mostly ships, and rarely do we see jets in the sky. I am not even sure they have an airport at the base, aside from the landing strips on the carrier ships.

Anyway, these are pictures I took about a week ago. I mean, I know contrails are normal, but this seems a little excessive.

I noticed the star shape as well. Now, considering that we are 30 miles south of the airport, and there are no jets flying around from the naval base, why are there airplanes going in so many different directions, without at least on end of the trail pointing towards the north where the airport is? They are just going all over the place...

Then I took these 2 pictures about a half an hour later. The trails actually spread out and stayed in the sky, making cirrus-like cloud cover. Is that what normal contrails do? If it helps, it was about 70 degrees F that day, the first pics were at about 2 p.m. and the latter about 30 minutes later. There was absolutely no cloud cover, and no chance of rain for that day.

Help?

There aren't anywhere near the number of trails in this guy's pictures, but he does describe in the text the 'criss-cross' pattern, along with a few other observations. Hope this helps

Thanks, that does help. I am not educated in maneuvers that planes make that might make multidirectional lines, so that is helpful. It just baffles me that there are soooo many and then they turn the entire sky into white stringy clouds.
