Conspiracy theorists are going to hate me for this.
The little lines you see behind jets are called contrails. Any engine that runs of hydrocarbons, including jet fuel, produces water vapor and carbon dioxide as exhaust. At high altitude, that water vapor condenses. What you're seeing is an artificial cloud.
People mistakenly associate contrails with a few questionable experiments performed by the US during the Cold War. To model how nuclear fallout might travel across the country, they secretly released radioisotopes from planes just to see where they landed.
