As a resurgence of unusual aerial trails crisscross Canadian skies, official confirmation of chemtrails has come from the U.S. Congress.

“Chemtrails” is the term widely used to describe the brilliant white plumes laid down by U.S. Air Force tanker planes photo-identified over North America and a dozen other allied nations. Unlike normal condensation trails – which form when hot engine exhaust momentarily condenses in the frigid stratosphere like exhaled breath on a cold day - chemical trails linger for hours, turning clear skies into milky haze in a process the U.S. Air Force calls “aerial obscuration”

Chemtrail Ban Sought In Congress

“Chemtrails” also appear in House Resolution 2977. Introduced last October by Ohio Rep. Dennis Kucinich, this bill called for the peaceful uses of space, and a ban on “exotic weapons”. Section 7 of the “Space Preservation Act of 2001” sought specifically to prohibit “chemtrails”.

Kucinich recently told the Columbus Alive newspaper (Jan. 24, 2002) that despite official denials, as head of the Armed Services oversight committee he is well acquainted with chemtrail projects. “The truth is there’s an entire program in the Department of Defense, ‘Vision for 2020,’ that’s developing these weapons,” Kucinich told reporter Bob Fitrakis. The U.S. Space Command’s 2020 vision calls for “dominance” of space, land, sea and air.

The unusual white plumes reported by Air Canada pilots, police officers and former military personnel over Canada and the U.S. during the past three years are often contrasted by brief, pencil-thin contrails left by commercial jets flying above them.

Contrails form when water vapor clumps around dirt particles acting as nuclei. According to NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, contrails can only form at temperatures below minus 76 degrees, and humidity levels of 70 percent or more. Even in ideal conditions, contrails rarely last more than 20 minutes.

But atmospheric studies by NASA and NOAA - including TARFOX, ACE-Asia, ACE-I and II, INDOEX and Project SUCCESS - confirm that artificial clouds and contrails can be manufactured under conditions of low humidity by dispensing particles from aircraft. The smaller the size of the nuclei introduced into the atmosphere, the greater the rate of artificial cloud formation.

Canadians Petition Parliament
Canadians were the first to complain about chemtrails to their federal government. On Nov. 18, 1999, NDP Defense critic Gordon Earl petitioned Parliament on behalf of 550 residents of Espanola, Ontario 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.”

According to CBC Newsworld (Aug 29, 1999), “Many in the community have reported respiratory problems and strange aches and pains. Town council heard that some believe military jets are dropping material over the town as part of a weather experiment” - after laboratory tests confirmed the presence of aluminum in rainwater falling through chemtrails over Espanola five-times higher than provincial health safety limits.

The Ministry of Defense eventually replied, “It’s not us.”

Studies Prove Chemtrails Cannot Be Contrails

The “airliner” argument collapsed along with the Twin Towers, when heavy chemtrails were reported over Vancouver Island and widely separated U.S. cities despite the grounding of all commercial flights last Sept. 11, 12 and 13.

Photographs of heavy aerial gridding over Santa Fe, New Mexico and B.C.’s Sunshine Coast also contradict official weather data showing high altitude humidity at the same times and locations to be less than one third the moisture needed for contrails to form.

In Houston, Texas, Mark Steadham conducted a 62 day survey of jet traffic over that busy hub. Using a computer program called Flight Explorer, Steadham identified commercial and military aircraft sharing the same sky. The contrails from commercial jets dissipated within 22 seconds. The plumes left behind at the same time by big military jets persisted for four to eight hours.

Canadian and U.S. Aviation Officials Confirm Chemtrails
The first break in an investigation begun by the Environment News Service in Jan. 1999, came 11 months later when Victoria airport authority Terry Stewart returned a call to a Victoria resident concerned about the X’s and grid patterns being laid over the B.C. capitol. “It’s a military exercise, a U.S. and Canada air force exercise that’s going on,” Stewart reported on Dec. 8, 2000. “They wouldn’t give me any specifics on it.”

The “specifics” came in March the following year, when Maine radio reporter S. T. Brendt called a senior Air Traffic Control manager after she, her news director and staff counted 370 plumes filling skies normally devoid of commercial aircraft. During his hitch in U.S. Navy Intelligence, Brendt’s husband had never seen an aerial armada this big. “It looked like an invasion,” Lou Aubuchont said.

The FAA manager told Brendt he had been ordered to redirect incoming commercial flights around “military exercises” on several occasions that month. In follow-up interviews at the WMWV studios, the government official confirmed widespread chemtrail activity. As they flew north into Canada, he said, the planes were spraying a substance that showed up as a “haze” on Air Traffic Control radar screens.

This characteristic signature of radar beams reflecting off fine aluminum particles confirmed the Espanola lab tests. It also matched a patent issued to Hughes Aircraft Corp. in 1994. This practical blueprint described spraying reflective aluminum particles into Earth’s greenhouse atmosphere, “For the Reduction of Global Warming”.

Computer simulations at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory showed that spraying 10 million tons of aluminum oxide into the upper atmosphere would reflect between one and two percent of incoming sunlight. The predictions promised no net warming over 85 percent of the earth surface, despite a predicted doubling of CO2 within the next 50 years.

The biggest lobby pushing for a reduction in global warming are insurance companies bigger than Big Oil and the international trade in arms. Multinationals such as the Swiss Reinsurance Company and Lloyd’s of London report unsustainable losses incurred by Extreme Weather Events caused by a rapidly warming planet. It is feared that if they go bankrupt, so will the money markets and banks that back them.

Andrew Dlugolecki - director of one of the world’s six biggest insurance groups, CGNU - warned the Hague two years ago that unless action is taken to curb global warming, the resulting damage will exceed the dollar value of all the world’s resources by 2065. “Already we’re beginning to run out of money in the insurance industry,” Dlugolecki declared.

It was Edward Teller, father of the H-bomb, who called for spraying a chemical “sunscreen” at a 1998 International Seminar on Planetary Emergencies. Besides disturbing regional weather patterns, Teller’s chief climate modeler, Ken Caldeira worries about negative health effects. The atmospheric scientist who crunched the numbers on Teller’s “sky shield” further warns such a project could, “destroy the ozone layer”. Caldeira believes the U.S. government will publicly admit to chemtrails this spring.

Health Hazard
Scientists say aluminum oxide as inert as sand poses no toxic threat. But after examining more than 3,000 health studies published since 1997, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency confirmed a strong link between tiny particulates and thousands of premature deaths each year.

According to a New York Times feature, “Tiny Bits of Soot Tied to Illnesses” (April 21, 2001), numerous health studies show that “microscopic motes - composed of metals, carbon and other ingredients - 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.”

In a report headlined, “Tiny particles can kill” New Scientist (Aug. 5, 2000) reported a Harvard “Six Cities” study, which “identified particles with a diameter of less than 10 microns as threat to public health.”

Barium Chemtrails
A scientist working at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base told Columbus Alive (Dec. 6, 2001) that two different chemtrails projects are currently being conducted by the U.S. military. One involves creating clouds to cool global warming.

Chemtrails are also being deployed by the Pentagon to suspend a mixture of barium stearate and fine iron particles as a temporary atmospheric antenna for conducting radio and radar waves over the horizon. The soapy stearate used to carry the airborne iron particles appears in the sky as prismatic bands of color.

Barium-iron chemtrails were reportedly used to create long range radio-and-radar “ducting” during sustained air strikes on Iraq, Kosovo, and Afghanistan. The scientist interviewed by Fitzrakis also stated that barium chemtrails are being used in conjunction with an “atmospheric heater” called HAARP in Gakon, Alaska.

HAARP’s inventor Bernard Eastland told this reporter that the principal purpose of this multi-million watt weapon is to “steer the jet stream” and change the weather. His patent calls for spraying barium in the atmosphere to enhance the effects of HAARP. “Wright-Pat has long been deeply engaged in HAARP’s electromagnetic warfare program,” Eastlund told Columbus Alive.

Electromagnetic Hazards
If some of the chemtrails being sprayed overhead contain compounds for conducting electromagnetic energy, residents of all affected communities could be in even graver danger from the intense electromagnetic radiation emitted by cellphone and microwave transmitter towers, radar installations at military bases, high-voltage power lines, high-power military relay towers and myriad other well-documented sources of "electronic smog" - 15 million times more intense than natural background levels.

Barium chemtrails could accidentally amplify these already hazardous electromagnetic emanations

Canadian military officers at Canadian Forces Base Comox spokesmen have heatedly denied the existence of this joint military operation. But Terry Stewart told the Vancouver Courier (Aug. 15, 2001) that his information confirming the Canada-U.S. military exercise came directly from CFB Comox.

This absolute rubbish. Humidity-induced contrails (those not formed by extreme pressure on wing tips and other protuberances on the aircraft) form at temperatures less than -31F (-35C) and can last more than 14 hours.

"But atmospheric studies by NASA and NOAA - including TARFOX, ACE-Asia, ACE-I and II, INDOEX and Project SUCCESS - confirm that artificial clouds and contrails can be manufactured under conditions of low humidity by dispensing particles from aircraft.

Complete misrepresentation of these experiments. TAR FOX, ACE-Asia, ACE-I and II, INDOEX studied aerosols formed by biomass burning, industrial effluents, pollution, and natural processes. They had nothing to do with artificial clouds and did not dispense particles. Project SUCCESS studied aircraft exhaust and its effect on contrails, which are artificial clouds. The only dispensing of particles that took place were the particles that come out of the airplane exhaust, just like that from your automobile. That's like saying, "I dispensed particles from my mouth when I breathed and made an artificial cloud." These statements from Thomas have no credibility.

Deb,

It seems like they are having trouble deciding whether it is a weapons system or a geoengineering system or what.

To give you some idea how perverse things really are, I did attend a meeting here that addressed the issue of whether geosystems could be used as weapons by a foreign power or by terrorists. The general conclusion was that weather modification is a pretty blunt instrument with which to attack your enemy. It is hard to do and not very effective. It is much easier to drop a bomb on somebody than to try to kill him with bad weather.

The issue came up of whether you could seed clouds and then produce a drought somewhere downwind. This is probably not do-able today, and if you want to destroy someone's crops you can spread Agent Orange around or something like that.

I wouldn't be surprised if there was or is some military program that looks at how aerosols are spread around the world; in this post-anthrax-attack world it would be remiss of them not to try to understand this process.

Anyway, I have no reason to doubt your assertion that most of what these people are seeing are normal jet contrails.

I think most normal dust contains several % aluminum oxides, so finding some aluminum oxide in dust is nothing special [unless it was relatively pure].

Cheers,

" Contrail frequency over the USA from surface
observations ". submitted to Geophys. Res. Lett.

Seems that there were fewer persistent contrails during 1998 than during 1993 because 1999 was drier.

QUESTION
"Anything else outside of the forming of the condensation of water vapor would just effect the properties of the trail"?

Huh? Contrails actually form in two ways:

1) condensation the water vapor produced by the exhaust in moist cold conditions (< -31F) and subsequent freezing of the droplets

2) condensation of water vapor in the low pressure areas produced just behind a pointed surface like a wing tip at low altitudes in humid conditions

#1 is the more common

[Question] "Are you implying that the conditions you are referring would not be the correct environment in which condensation trails would appear with high altitude aircraft, and that the only way contrails or artificial clouds could be produced into this environment would be to dispense manufactured particles aside of what naturally occurs from an aircraft without modifications that we are aware of?" "If not clarify please so I can understand"?

Your question--I am not sure exactly what you are asking-- is based on Thomas' statements, which are Clintonesque distortions of what actually occurred. For example,

"...confirm that artificial clouds and contrails can be manufactured under conditions of low humidity by dispensing particles from aircraft"

was concocted from a summary of SUCCESS that confirmed that the well-known criteria for producing contrails (not persistent ones) from aircraft exhaust at extremely low temperatures and relatively low humidities. The study confirmed an already established theory developed in the 1940's and 50's. It does not apply to persistent contrails, which were confirmed to occur in high humidity conditions.

"The smaller the size of the nuclei introduced into the atmosphere, the greater the rate of artificial cloud formation."

Jet engines that produce exhaust containing more smaller aerosols make more ice crystals than one those that make larger, fewer aerosols.

[Question] " Would the following experiments that involved biomass burning, industrial effluents, pollution, and natural processes emit or exhaust particles into the upper atmosphere were it could also influence the properties of a regular condensation trail?"

What following experiments?

If that is not true , than what is to be concerned of Global Warming or the Ozone?

I don't see the relationship. Why would the properties of a condensation trail as related to surface aerosol sources make on eany more or less concerned about "Global warming or Ozone"?

Not being Dr. Pat Minnis, I cannot speak for him, but my guess is that many people, regardless of their interpretation of contrails, believe very strongly in the truth as they perceive it, and want to convince people of that truth. In this way, he is not that different from anyone else in here.

I don't know if he considers this a "waste of time"; I certainly don't.

I am sure you have found that people seem to fall into different categories: those who believe what you believe, those who don't (and never will) and those who don't, but may be swayed by your arguments. Perhaps Dr. Minnis considers you in the third category.

I can say that I have read many of Dr. Minnis' scholarly and well-presented papers, have contacted him at the e-address shown on those sites, and have corresponded with him on several cases. Based on this, I am convinced that Mr. "canex" is, in truth, Doctor Pat Minnis, who is probably one of the most knowledgeable people around on the subject of contrails in particular and atmospheric science in general.

Regards,
