An Anonymous Email From An Airline Mechanic

For reasons you will understand as you read this I can not divulge my identity.

I am an aircraft mechanic for a major airline. I work at one of our maintenance bases located at a large airport. I have discovered some information that I think you will find important.

First, I should tell you something about the "pecking order" among mechanics. It is important to my story and to the cause to which you have dedicated yourself.

Mechanics want to work on three things. The avionics, the engines, or the flight controls. The mechanics that work on these systems are considered at the top of the "pecking order".

Next come the mechanics that work on the hydraulics and air conditioning systems. Then come the ones who work on the galley and other non-essential systems. But at the very bottom of the list are the mechanics that work on the waste disposal systems.

No mechanic wants to work on the pumps, tanks, and pipes that are used to store the waste from the lavatories. But at every airport where I have worked there are always 2 or 3 mechanics that volunteer to work on the lavatory systems.

The other mechanics are happy to let them do it. Because of this you will have only 2 or 3 mechanics that work on these systems at any one airport. No one pays much attention to these guys and no mechanic socializes with another mechanic who only works on the waste systems.

Fact is, I had never even thought much about this situation until last month. Like most airlines we have reciprocal agreements with the other airlines that fly into this airport. If they have a problem with a plane one of our mechanics will take care of it.

Likewise, if one of our planes has a problem at an airport where the other airline has a maintenance base, they will fix our plane.

One day last month I was called out from our base to work on a plane for another airline. When I got the call the dispatcher did not know what the problem was. When I got to the plane I found out that the problem was in waste disposal system. There was nothing for me to do but to crawl in and fix the problem.

When I got into the bay I realized that something was not right. There were more tanks, pumps, and pipes then should have been there. At first I assumed that the waste disposal system had been changed. It had been about 10 years since I had worked on this particular model of aircraft.

As I tried to find the problem I quickly realized the extra piping and tanks were not connected to the waste disposal system, at all. I had just discovered this when another mechanic from my company showed up. It was one of the mechanics who usually works on this particular type of plane, and I happily turned the job over to him.

As I was leaving I asked him about the extra equipment. He told me to "worry about my end of the plane and let him worry about his end!"

The next day I was on the company computer to look up a wiring schematic. While I was there I decided to look up the extra equipment I had found. To my amazement the manuals did not show any of the extra equipment I had seen with my own eyes the day before. I even tied in to the manufacturer files and still found nothing. Now I was really determined to find out what that equipment did.

The next week we had three of our planes in our main hanger for periodic inspection. There are mechanics crawling all over a plane during these inspections. I had just finished my shift and I decided to have a look at the waste system on one of our planes. With all the mechanics around I figured that no one would notice an extra one on the plane.

Sure enough, the plane I choose had the extra equipment! I began to trace the system of pipes, pumps, and tanks. I found what appeared to be the control unit for the system. It was a standard looking avionics control box but it had no markings of any kind.

I could trace the control wires from the box to the pumps and valves but there were no control circuits coming into the unit. The only wires coming into the unit was a power connection to the aircraft's main power bus.

The system had 1 large tank and 2 smaller tanks. It was hard to tell in the cramped compartment, but it looked like the large tank could hold about 50 gallons. The tanks were connected to a fill and drain valve that passed through the fuselage just behind the drain valve for the waste system.

When I had a chance to look for this connection under the plane I found it cunningly hidden behind a panel under the panel used to access the waste drain.

I began to trace the piping from the pumps. These pipes lead to a network of small pipes that ended in the trailing edges of the wings and horizontal stabilizers.

If you look closely at the wings of a large airplane you will see a set of wires, about the size of your finger, extending from the trailing edge of the wing surfaces. These are the static discharge wicks. They are used to dissipate the static electric charge that builds up on a plane in flight.

I discovered that the pipes from this mystery system lead to every 1 out of 3 of these static discharge wicks. These wicks had been "hollowed out" to allow whatever flows through these pipes to be discharged through the fake wicks.

It was while I was on the wing that one of the managers spotted me. He ordered me out of the hanger telling me that my shift was over and I had not been authorized any overtime.

The next couple of days were very busy and I had no time to continue my investigation. Late one afternoon, two days after my discovery, I was called to replace an engine temperature sensor on a plane due to take off in two hours. I finished the job and turned in the paperwork.

About 30 minutes later I was paged to see the General Manager. When I went in his office I found that our union rep and two others who I did not know were waiting on me. He told me that a serious problem had been discovered. He said that I was being written up and suspended for turning in false paperwork.

He handed me a disciplinary form stating that I had turned in false paperwork on the engine temperature sensor I had installed a few hours before. I was floored and began to protest. I told them that this was ridiculous and that I had done this work.

The union rep spoke up at this point and recommended that we take a look at the plane to see if we could straighten it all out. I then asked who the other two men were. The GM told me that they were airline safety inspectors but would not give me their names.

We proceeded to the plane, which should have been in the air but was parked on our maintenance ramp. We opened the engine cowling and the union rep pulled the sensor. He checked the serial number and told everyone that it was the old instrument. We then went to the parts bay and went back into the racks.

The union rep checked my report and pulled from the rack a sealed box. He opened the box and pulled out the engine temperature sensor with the serial number of the one I had installed. I was told that I was suspended for a week without pay and to leave immediately.

I sat at home the first day of my suspension wondering what the hell had happened to me. That evening I received a phone call. The voice told me "Now you know what happens to mechanics who poke around in things they shouldn't. The next time you start working on systems that are no concern of yours you will lose your job! As it is, I'm feeling generous, I believe that you'll be able to go back to work soon." CLICK.

Again, I had to pick myself from off the floor. As my mind raced, it was at this moment that I made the connection that what had happened to me must have been directly connected to my tracing the "mysterious" piping.

The next morning the General Manager called me. He said that due to my past excellent employment record that the suspension had been reduced to one day and that I should report back to work immediately. The only thing I could think of was "what are they trying to hide" and "who are 'THEY'"!

That day at work went by as if nothing had happened. None of the other mechanics mentioned the suspension and my union rep told me not to talk about it. That night I logged onto the Internet to try to find some answers.

I don't remember now how I got there but I came across a site that talked about chemically-laced contrails.

That's when it all came together. But the next morning at work I found a note inside my locked locker. It said, "Curiosity killed the cat. Don't be looking at Internet sites that are no concern of yours."

Well that's it. Now I know 'THEY' are watching me.

While I don't know what THEY are spraying, I can tell you how they are doing it. I figure they are using the "honey trucks". These are the trucks that empty the waste from the lavatory waste tanks.

The airports usually contract out this job and nobody goes near these trucks. Who wants to stand next a truck full of sh--. While these guys are emptying the waste tanks, it makes sense that they could easily be filling the tanks of the spray system.

They know the planes flight path so they probably program the control unit to start spraying some amount of time after the plane reaches a certain altitude. The spray nozzles in the fake static wicks are so small that no one in the plane would see a thing.

God help us all.

Total BS.

The "Chemtrail" argument starts with an altitude of 30,000 feet. What 'biological' can survive that temperature? It's obvious that the engines are pumping thousands of pounds of fuel per hour - to make the water-vapor contrails. There would be no room for pax/cargo, if "cmentrails" were the case.

From 30,000 feet, imagine the dispersal pattern - 100% ineffective, whether 'chemical' or 'biological.'

If one elected to poison a population, water supplies are vulnerable from any houshold, by back-presssuring the water system with a selected contaminant; who needs airplanes?

This subject has to be a CIA propaganda credibility experiment.

So far, it's working!

  10 years ago, I never saw a trail from a plane that lasted longer than a couple minutes, no matter what altitude. Last week as an example, I live just south of Chicago, we had a clear blue sky all day, no long plume trails off of planes, and there were, as always, planes coming and going. The very next day, just before a front was moving in, it was a checkerboard. The sky was turned milky. Planes were laying down huge hanging clouds. What it is, I don`t know, but this isn`t normal, and it is not what was normal less than 10 years ago.

It had been about 10 years since I had worked on this particular model of aircraft.

HHMM. That sentence kind of popped out at me. It really just doesn't jive. "Hey, Jimbo, after you're done fixing the window crank on that Cessna go over and change the brake fluid on that 747 over there."

And spraying chemicals from 35,000 feet--minus 60 degrees and 300 MPH winds or thereabouts? Chemicals sprayed out 35,000 feet over Mississippi could simply be wasted by dropping into the Atlantic or could possibly land on Madgascar and/or somewhere in between. A safe wager would be that not ONE molecule of said chemical would hit Mississippi.

Nope, I'm staying with the mere ice crystals from a jet engine at high altitude explanation.

And I have never seen anything coming out of those little antenna whisker/thingies on the wings--the "trails" are always coming from the engines or a very small trail from the very extreme tip of the wing--I've seen that.

This is what I notice and I suspect others do as well. A clear, blue sky can change to what you just described in 30 minutes. I've not seen anything similar in my lifetime, but to notice the obvious, and dare to question it, is to step out of the box. Where are the environmental whackos when we need them?

The actual trails could be the fake out. Releasing over time a genetically modified virus to convey immunity to a population to a select group of organisms could very easily be done with that quantity of agent if the planes merely released the agent over populated areas at landing and takeoff approach. There wasn't obvious multi-thousand gallon tanks and obvious sprays when agents were being dispersed in the SF bay experiments, and that was bacteria IIRC, and 30 some odd years ago...

The duration of contrails is a function of local high-altitude weather. Wind & turbulence erase contrails, quickly. Take that from an airline captain.

The story has a hollow ring to it. Not that I don't believe that our government isn't capable of spraying chemical/bio agents over us, but I just don't think that they would run the risk of using commerial airlines to do it - not when they can used military or CIA contractor flights for the purpose. Hell, why diddle around with a 100 gal tank on a commercial plane when they can just use a couple of AF tankers and spay all day and all night.

"Stolen skies: the chemtrail mystery. (Jet Trails in the Sky Used to Disappear. Now they Linger).

Earth Island Journal; 6/22/2002; Thomas, William

It was around noon on March 12, 2000 when S.T. Brendt, the late night reporter for WMWV Radio, entered the kitchen of her country home in Parsonsfield, Maine. Her partner, Lou Aubuchont, was puzzling over what he had seen in the sky a half-hour before. The fat puffy plumes arching up over the horizon were unlike any aircraft condensation trails ("contrails") he had ever seen.

Instead of dissipating like normal contrails, these intersecting sky trails grew wider and began to merge. Looking towards the sun, Aubuchont saw what appeared like "an oil and water mixture" reflecting a prismatic band of colors.

Ordinarily, contrails flare briefly in the stratosphere as hot moist engine exhaust flash-freezes into a stream of ice-crystals. These pencil-thin condensation trails are short- lived, evaporating into invisibility as exhaust gases cool quickly to the surrounding air temperature.

As National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) meteorologist Thomas Schlatter explains, the formation of condensation trails requires temperatures lower than about minus 76 F and humidity of 70 percent or more. Because the Federal Aviation Authority requires military tankers and transporters to cross continental airspace at altitudes below 30,000 feet, ensuring safe separation from airliners flying between 35,000 and 39,000 feet, these military flights should leave no contrails at all.

But in late 1997, Aubuchont began to notice thicker trails extending from horizon to horizon. Hanging in the sky, these expanding white ribbons would invariably be interwoven by more thick lines left by unmarked Air Force jets, white or silver in color.

As Brendt glanced out the window, it looked like another gorgeous, cloudless day. But not quite. She spotted two jets laying billowing white banners to the north. Turning her gaze due west, Brendt saw two more lines extending over the horizon. She called Lou. Within 45 minutes, the couple counted 30 jets. "This isn't right," Brendt thought. "We just don't have that kind of air traffic here." While Aubuchont kept counting, Brendt started calling airports.

Alerted by a call from Brendt, Richard Dean, WMWV's assistant news director and the WMWV news staff filed outside and counted 370 lines of persistent contrails in skies usually devoid of aerial activity.

Brendt phoned a number of Air Traffic Controllers. They all stated that nothing unusual was going on. After several calls, Brendt reached one ATC manager who offered a different story. He told Brendt that his radars showed nine commercial jets during the same 45-minute span. From her location, he said, she should have been able to see only one plane.

"What about the other 29?" Brendt inquired. The ATC official confided off- the-record that he had been ordered "by higher civil authority" to re-route inbound European airliners away from an airborne "military exercise" in the area. "They wouldn't give me any of the particulars and I don't ask," he explained. The controller (who insisted on being identified only as "Deep Sky,") subsequently repeated his statements on tape before witnesses at the WMWV studio.

`It's a Military Exercise'

On December 8, 2000, Terry Stewart, the Manager for Planning and Environment at the Victoria International Airport, responded to a caller's complaint about the strange patterns of circles and grids being woven over the British Columbia capitol. Stewart left a message on an answering machine tape -- a message that later was heard by more than 15 million radio listeners. Stewart explained: "It's a military exercise, [a] US and Canadian Air Force exercise that's going on. They wouldn't give me any specifics on it."

Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Comox on Vancouver Island is Canada's biggest radar installation. CFB Comox is easily capable of tracking the US formations coming up from the south. When asked for a response to Stewart's statement, the base information officer at CFB Comox replied tersely that: "No military operation is taking place." Stewart later told the Vancouver Courier that his information had come directly from Comox.

By the summer of 2001, pictures of contrails were being circulated by the Associated Press and the word "chemtrails" could be overheard in coffee shop conversations across the continent

`It's a Hoax'

In an April 20, 2001, letter to a US senator, Col. Walter Washbaugh, chief of the Congressional Inquiry Division for the Secretary of the Air Force in Washington, DC, called chemtrails "a hoax." Washbaugh blamed the increased number of contrails on "significant civil aviation growth in the past decade."

He is right on that score. A National Science Foundation study has found that in certain heavily trafficked corridors, artificial cloud cover has increased by as much as 20 percent.

Colonel Washbaugh ascribed widely reported grid patterns to overlapping aircraft flying north-south, east-west airways. The only thing wrong with this explanation, a Texas air traffic controller told me, is that US airways do not run north-south.

The colonel told the senator: "The Air Force is not conducting any weather modification and has no plans to do so in the future." In fact, the Pentagon has long been interested in using weather as a weapon of war. Attempts to steer hurricanes by spraying heat-robbing chemicals in their paths date from the 1950s. The recipe for creating "cirrus shields" was outlined in a 1996 US Air Force study subtitled "Owning the Weather by 2025." The report explained how "weather force specialists" were dispersing chemicals behind high-flying tanker aircraft in a process called "aerial obscuration."

Official denials reached new altitudes of absurdity when another colonel claimed: "The US Air Force (USAF) does not conduct spraying operations over populated areas." Apparently the colonel had forgotten how USAF air tankers dispensed thousands of tons of "Agent Orange" defoliants over the land and people of Vietnam.

Meanwhile, the Internet was abuzz with chemtrail conspiracy theories ranging from aliens leaving messages in the sky to government agencies dumping mind- control chemicals on an unsuspecting populace. The only problem was none of the theories were plausible.

The Welsbach Patent

In 1994, the Hughes aerospace company was issued a remarkable patent. The Welsbach patent "for Reduction of Global Warming" proposed countering global warming by dispensing microscopic particles of aluminum oxide and other reflective materials into the upper atmosphere. This "sky shield" would reflect one or two percent of incoming sunlight. The patent suggested that tiny metal flakes could be "added to the fuel of jet airliners, so that the particles would be emitted from the jet engine exhaust while the airliner was at its cruising altitude."

Computer simulations by Ken Caldeira at California's Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) calculated that employing Welsbach's chemical- sunscreen technology could stop warming over 85 percent of the planet, despite an anticipated doubling of atmospheric carbon within the next 50 years. LLNL estimated the cost of creating thisso-called Sky Shield at $1 billion dollars a year -- a cheap fix to avoid threatening the massive profits of the oil industry.

At the 1998 International Seminar on Planetary Emergencies, Edward Teller, the "Father of the H-bomb," presented his Next Big Idea. Teller called for spreading reflective chemicals over the Earth to act like a mirror-shade. If it was impossible to protect the entire planet, these chemical sky shields could, at least, be extended to cover allies who secretly agreed to allow this unprecedented geo-engineering experiment to be carried out over their territory.

In the July-August 1998 Science and Technology Review, Teller argued that the Sky Shield offered a more "realistic" option for addressing global warming than drastic cutbacks in C02 emissions.

When asked if the technology was being pursued, Teller replied: "To my knowledge the answer is negative.... My recommendation was a tentative one depending on further evidence whether expecting global warming is realistic."

In fact, the technology already exists. In 1975, the US Navy patented a device for producing "a powder contrail having maximum radiation-scattering ability." The powder contained a mixture of 0.3 micron-sized titanium dioxide pigment particles coated with 0.007 micron hydrophobic colloidal silica and 4.5 micron particles of silica gel. The purpose of the apparatus was "to generate contrails or reflective screens for any desired purpose."

The Welsbach Patent proposed using "very fine, talcum-like" powder of 10 to 100 micron- sized aluminum oxide to produce a "pure white plume" in the sky

In a May 2000 draft report submitted to the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), an expert panel chosen from among 3,000 atmospheric scientists, concluded that Teller's scheme might work. But the IPCC warned against unpredictable upsets of the atmosphere. The panel also warned against angry populaces reacting to "the associated whitening of the visual appearance of the sky."

Caldeira was so concerned that he went public. Deflecting sunlight would further cool the stratosphere, he warned, and this could intensify icy clouds of ozone-gobbling CFCs that could destroy the ozone layer -- the Earth's already damaged solar radiation shield.

Was Teller's Sky Shield experiment already underway? During his interview with WMWV reporters, Deep Sky hinted that it was. Were the tankers observed on ATC radars involved in climate modification? Our FAA source hesitated before responding: "That approximates what I was told." Similar military activities were ongoing in other regions, he stated.

Chemtrails and Health Problems

The Internet buzzes with conspiracy theories about chemtrails being used as part of a secret government biological experiment. But after more than three years of intense investigation, I have found no proof that chemtrails constitute a deliberate biological attack. (To be effective, bio-attacks must conducted close to the ground and never in daylight, in order to avoid ultraviolet sterilization of toxins.)

In the spring of 1998, rain falling through heavy chemtrails over Espanola, Ontario was found to contain concentrations of aluminum particles seven times higher than permitted by Canadian health safety laws. Provincial health officials ordered tests after residents began complaining about severe headaches, chronic joint pain, dizziness, sudden extreme fatigue, acute asthma attacks and feverless "flu- like" symptoms. The results of the test were not released.

The reports of illness all came from residents inside a 50-square-role area who complained that they had been subjected to "months of spraying" by photo- identified US Air Force tanker planes. The USAF denied the intrusions.

On November 18, 1998, Canadian Opposition Party Defense Critic Gordon Earle petitioned Parliament on behalf of the people of Espanola. Speaking on behalf of Canada's New Democratic Party, Earle stated:

"Over 500 residents of the Espanola area have signed a petition raising concern over possible government involvement in what appears to be aircraft emitting visible aerosols. They have found high traces of aluminum and quartz in particulate and rainwater samples. These concerns combined with associated respiratory ailments have led these Canadians to take action and seek clear answers from this government. The petitioners call upon Parliament to repeal any law that would permit the dispersal of military chaff or of any cloud- seeding substance whatsoever by domestic or foreign military aircraft without the informed consent of the citizens of Canada thus affected."

A Harvard School of Public Health team determined that particulates with a diameter less than 10 microns (one-tenth the thickness of a human hair) pose a serious threat to public health. On April 21, 2001, the New York Times warned: "These microscopic motes are able to infiltrate the tiniest compartments in the lungs and pass readily into the bloodstream, and have been most strongly tied to illness and early death, particularly in people who are already susceptible to respiratory problems."

On December 14, 2000, the New England Journal of Medicine reported that inhaling particulate matter of a size 10 microns or smaller leads to "a 5 percent increased death rate within 24 hours." Teller's sunscreen calls for spraying 10 million tons of talcum-fine reflective particulates of 10 to 100 micron sizes.

Congress Addresses Chemtrails

On October 2, 2001, Rep. Dennis Kucinich (DOH) introduced the "Space Preservation Act of 2001" (HR 2977), which called for the elimination of "exotic weaponry" from space. Among the weapons to be banned were weather- modifying weapons such as HAARP (High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program) and chemtrails. Though HR 3616 was later amended to remove the section that would have banned chemtrails, the original bill acknowledging the existence of chemtrail technology remains on the pages of the Congressional Record.

With "chemtrails" now officially admitted by the US government, an even bigger trial is set to begin in the court of public opinion.

An earlier version of this report appeared in the October-November 2001 issue of Nexus Magazine [PO Box 30, Mapleton Qld 4560 Australia. http://www.nexusmagazine.com].

Chemtrails Go Global

Sightings of oddly Lingering plumes sometimes resembling rocket traits are not confined to North American skies.

While on Leave in Italy in the summer of 1999, the US Navy's Kitty Chastain sat on her hotel balcony and watched aerial grids being laid all day just offshore over the Bay of Naples.

In Spain, on April 27, 2000, American tourist John Hendricks dashed off a quick email from El Cafe de Internet: "Were we surprised to see that the chemtrails are as bad here as they are anywhere, both in Mallorca and in Barcelona."

"Add Sweden to the List," a Swedish resident wrote after spotting eight to 10 parallel contrails. "I know the commercial mutes, and we have a bunch of them, but not where these trails were."

Chemtrail activity has been reported in at Least 14 allied nations including Australia, Belgium, Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Holland, Ireland, Italy, New Zealand, Scotland, Sweden and the United States.

Chemtrail photos from France, Australia, Scotland and Germany may be viewed on the author's website [www3.bc.simpatico.ca/Willthomas].

Another Scary Scenario

According to the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Co., the only way to form artificial Clouds in warm dry air is to introduce enough particulates into the atmosphere to attract and accrete all available moisture into visible vapor. If repeated often enough, the resulting rainless haze can Lead to drought.

Patrick Minnis, an atmospheric researcher with California Environmental Resources Evaluation System (CERES) and ardent chemtrails critic at NASA's Langley Research Center, reports that cirrus cloud cover over the US is up 5 percent overall because particulates in engine exhaust are acting as cloud- forming nuclei. As the number of flights currently exceeds 15 million annually worldwide, artificial clouds will intensify as air travel continues to climb.

Perhaps the appearance of chemtrails is a "sign from on high" that our atmosphere has become dangerously burdened with pollutants.

William Thomas' award-winning writing has appeared in more than 50 publications in eight countries including The Globe and Mail, Toronto Star, Vancouver Sun and Times-Colonist newspapers as well as Earth Island Journal and Ecodecision magazines. He has also appeared on CBC radio and TV, CNN and New Zealand national television.

Dare I ask if there are any suspicious chemtrails over all the Middle-East, or just parts of the Middle-East.

Hey, do you suppose that no-fly zone over the Cheney/Rumsfeld estates in Maryland could also be to avoid chemtrails? Does Smirk have a no-fly zone over Crawford? I suppose. So what about D.C.?

This is a far more believable account of chemtrails than the leading anonymous mechanic story. We should be careful in accepting any and all conspiracy accounts as true. It's not beyond some psychology majoring college student to create a hoax that plays on legitimate concerns.

Unless you really do believe there's a kidney theft ring that does surgery on intoxicated party goers, that not wiping the tops of canned goods before opening can kill you, or that there's a little girl with cancer in Kansas collecting 20 bazillion pop tops.

Extra equipment *secretly* mounted on *all* airlines? Like they'd keep that a secret. I'll bet Saddam had WMD's too.

An increase of chem trails over time logically indicates something is changing over that time. It could be increased traffic or it could be a change to the fuel that aircraft use or perhaps the engines that burn it. Tech changes to the airline industry happen just like everywhere else, so that can't be ruled out. Aluminum being added to fuel is the most plausable explanation I've yet heard for persistant contrails, and as a toxin, that should be a crime.

There is airspace that is restricted to all traffic. One zone surrounds the whitehouse and the capital, and Camp David is also restricted, which I know from my piloting days not too far from there. The zones aren't very big though, on weren't 13 years ago.

But since contrails form at extreme altitudes, assuming that's still the case today, the high winds always blowing at that altitude pretty much ensures that none of it will come near the ground over which trails first form.

So a specific target would be difficult, but with knowledge of the wind direction, a general area might be made a target.

A "general area", maybe. But one thing about winds at altitude is that they don't usually blow in the same direction. There might be one wind up to 8000 feet and a second wind blowing a different direction from 8000 to 14500 feet, and a third going the rest of the way. Also, the higher you go, the stronger the winds. 50 MPH might be typical for winds at 30,000 feet at any given time.

It's been a while since I've been in the field. Skydrifter should have more authoritative comment.

A space alien invasion contains more probability of fact.

Sure anything is possible; what's probable, applying a sane version of common sense.

Chemtrail = windmills!

If an attack on a population is desired, water & food supplies are too readily available as a simple and inexpenisve attack platform.

Nobody in their right mind is going to spray a population from 30,000 feet.

Sheesh!

If you want an environmental conspiracy, look to the HAARP cannons! That's factual!

Contrails are subject to local meteorology. They vary with pressure, temperature and humidity; naturally, wind & turbulence. They converge over common navigation points, such as Denver, Seattle or DC.

Contrails are seemingly wierd. I've seen airplanes contrail for an hour, leaving the expected trail - then the contrails quit streaming, lasting for maybe half a mile, aft of the aircraft. Throw in a strong crosswind with some turbulence & they fade in a hurry.

Chemtrail = windmill. It's that simple. You don't hear of pilots doing a preflight inspection asking, "Hey, what are those spray nozzles?"

The volume of liquid required to produce the supposed volume of 'chemtrails' would not allow a load of passengers.

There is plenty of conspiracy to go with the airline industry; 'chemtrails' are not on the list of rational topics.

I'm not saying the contrails as chemtrails has anything to with reality. I'm just saying the government could let people get some fragments of truth on something going on, the people "connect" it with contrails and then run with it.

Those quantities would be highly effective dispersed at low altitude over populated areas (no trails or mists either) on approaches and no one would be the wiser...

Government blows, and that which governs least blows least...

Exactly. Chemicals sprayed from jet at 35,000 feet over Kentucky could, with pinpoint acurracy, hit between Myrtle Beach and Tibet.

In 1947, the UN created a perpetual war and named it Israel.

One item on the Canadian account of detecting aluminum in rainwater after con/chemtrailing that stood out to me:

First, in order for rain to catch it, rain would have to fall through the trails, meaning the trails would have to be made somewhere below the rainclouds. Rain does not begin above 30,000 feet. Probably closer to 10K feet on the upside, and probably much lower in the 3-4K range, but I'm much less sure of those calls than I am the winds.

So if they can see these trails with the backdrop of rain clouds above them (which is a question to answer by itself), then it probably means they must have formed at very low altitude. The next question is how a *low altitude* contrail could have formed, as that's not normal.

If you can talk to a Mars orbiter with a few watts of RF power, what can be done with the mega-watts of the HAARP Cannons?

(Try: blast a hole in the upper particle belts, allowing more solar enegry to penetrate the atmosphere - weather control.)

The DARN (Dual Auroral Radar Network) system monitors the pre, and post conditions of a HAARP firing.

Two more cannons are under construction; one in Geeenland & the other in Norway.
