Actually, I go into everything believing that I am wrong, that it is just a trick of perception or belief, until I have amassed enough info to change my mind. However, as I have said, this often comes down to deductive reasoning and connecting it with other threads of thought or information (connecting the dots in other words.) Unfortunately, this is a flawed system because it relies both on intuition and connecting dots that others may not have seen or fully understood yet so it is difficult to communicate to people that require actual "physical" proof (which as has already been stated is difficult to do in this case unless you have an airplane yourself and a prediliction towards sampling sky trails or can jump really high with a jar in your hand.) Add that to the mass of info that is really disinfo and the waters get really muddy. Add to that the subjective nature of words such as "truth" "proof", and "belief" and it's really amazing anything of Truth (with a capital T) ever gets communicated.
As a teacher once told me (slightly paraphrased), "The Truth does not require you to believe in it to exist"

And, for the record, all I've really argued that are in these things are aluminium because that's all I can "prove" to myself based on chemical analysis results. Though I have heard of sedatives, nanotech fibers that cause Morgellen's etc, I am always careful to not say that this is what is actually in them because I haven't seen proof for anything beyond high levels of aluminium. Still, that's bad enough to be breathing into our lungs.
Granted it's warmer today than it has been recently, which seems to lend credence to the weather aspect of things (I'm not unreasonable.) But still, even with that I have seen persistent trails on days much warmer than this.
