I am shocked. Utterly dumbfounded.

The photo used was very pathetic, as it looks like just ordinary lingering contrails. I wish they would have used any of the pics I sent them over two years ago, but then that might have gotten too much attention.

Oh well, here is the link to the story. The photo did not seem to make the online version of the article, but the text is all there.

The story is semi-fair, but I think it could have been a lot better. No mention of any of the patents I found, or other stories done by other media outlets.

I don't know if I have ever spoken with Michael Castle, the pro-chemtrail activist quoted in the newspaper article. Perhaps he posts here or on your board with a different handle.

But I am intrigued by his statement that he believes chemtrails can be proven by in situ collection, an approach that I have been pushing for quite some time. He quotes a figure of $20,000 for the program, which I assume would include renting the aircraft, designing and fitting a collection apparatus, and paying for one (or hopefully more) reputable labs to analyze and report on the findings. Hopefully the work will be professionally done, unlike the recent unfortunate rainwater test discussed elsewhere.

If you know this person, Norrin, why not have him check in here at Thermit's site and discuss his proposals? $20k is not an unreachable figure, given the interest and dedication of so many people on these boards. Perhaps a request for funding might work.
