Strange Contrails Over Victoria, B.C.
An answering machine tape recently given to chemtrails researcher Will Thomas's Lifeboat News Service includes a message allegedly from the Victoria, British Columbia Airport Authority's Manager for Airport Planning and Environment to city resident Mark Porter, who had inquired about unusual contrail formations being seen in the sky over the city. It seems to confirm that controversial "chemtrails" are being spread over that city as a joint U.S.-Canadian military operation.
The message on the tape is as follows:

"Mark, it's Terry Stewart, Victoria Airport Authority. Just calling you back from your comment. From what I gather, it's a military exercise, U.S. and Canadian air force exercise that's going on. They wouldn't give me any specifics on it. Hope that helps your interest. Very odd."

The airport environmental officer was responding to Porter's Dec. 7, 2000 inquiry concerning intense aerial activity that left lingering X's, circles and grid-like plumes over the British Columbia capitol on Dec. 6 and 7. Stewart confirms that he made the call on December 8 after checking with the Victoria International Airport control tower. His further inquiries were rebuffed.

According to Porter and other observers, similar unusual plume patterns have been sporadically spread by large four- engine jets over Victoria for the past two years. These aircraft have been photo-identified as USAF KC-135 and KC- 10 aerial refueling tankers. Each $52 million Stratotanker carries 150,000 pounds of transferable fuel. The KC-10 carries about 320,000 pounds.

It is the policy of Canada's National Defense department not to comment on military exercises. As lingering cross-hatch plumes continued to startle Vancouver Island residents last week, a spokesman for the Canadian Forces insisted that "no such joint military operation exits."

But thousands of eye-witnesses - including pilots, police officers and former military personnel - report similar precisely- spaced patterns lingering hours longer than normal contrails in artificially-occluded skies over the USA, Britain, Canada and allied European nations

As citizens across North America complain of adverse health reactions following intense air force activity, an official USAF study on "Owning The Weather" describes how "Weather Force Specialists" spray chemicals from USAF tankers in operations described as "aerial obscuration".
