Chemtrail is a Demon in Shin Megami Tensei IV.

Profile

Origin

"Chemtrail" refers to the belief that condensation trails produced by airplanes at high altitude are actually dangerous chemicals and/or biological agents. The theories often state that they are sprayed by malign forces, for reasons unknown to the general public, most commonly some variety of weather manipulation, human population control, or biological or chemical warfare. In reality condensation trails are just caused by low ambient temperatures at high altitudes along with water vapour from both inside the exhaust of the airplanes engine and water vapour from the flights path. The trails are made up of mostly water in the form of ice crystals, that creates the distinctive clouds.

Although the conspiracy theory's exact origin is unknown, it is known to have been popularized during the late 1990's after the release of a 1996 research paper from the USAF (United States Air Force), entitled "Weather as a Force Multiplier: Owning the weather in 2025.” The report outlines fictional representations for possible future weather modification systems for warfare. Following this report, the theory was then commonly posted on the internet, this rise in popularity of the theory resulted in multiple different governmental and scientific agencies to attempt to dispel the rumours; including the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). In 2005 the USAF also further clarified that the previously mentioned report "does not reflect current military policy, practice, or capability" and that the agency is "not conducting any weather modification experiments or programs and has no plans to do so in the future." However believers of the conspiracy theory just view this as a further cover-up by the government.

Design

Chemtrail appears as a metallic entity, with relevantly human like proportions below the chest area, besides 2 large metal exhausts sticking out from it's back side, around where it's butt would be. It's top half is a large cylindrical object connected to the main body with a large number of pipes. The cylindrical top half has three faces on it, all of which have red eyes, and have their mouths wide open. Above their faces are three more, even larger metal exhausts facing away from it's faces. on both sides of it's top half are a series of unknown holes, followed by large saw blade like protrusions, and on the base of the cylindrical top half, are large ridges and what appear to be large bolts.

Shin Megami Tensei IV

A man-made weather phenomenon that grew into an urban myth. It is thought by some to be the conspiracy of a secret society. What appears to be simple vapor trails are actually harmful metals sprayed from airplanes. There are several theories about the reason for this, including population control through disease, destroying all living beings by cutting off sunlight, and control of the weather. Since the mass media is controlled by the culprits, the truth will never be known. It is believed that the negative energy from people who believe in this conspiracy formed the demon.
