chemtrails
by Darren Keast (darren@skinny.com) - October 18, 2000
A 30 000 feet flying jet leaves a long, white contrail (condensation trail) lingering behind it on the horizon. Rather than dissipating, the trail floats intact, crossed by a perpendicular flying jet's contrail. The X pattern formed by the two trails is repeated by other jets, turning the once clear sky into a blue and fluffy white patchwork.

An increasingly vocal sky-watcher fringe declares this everyday occurrence as a massive broad daylight military action, a widespread spraying operation. They claim these contrails aren't just made up of water crystals. Maybe it's an inoculation program, a large-scale test, or an open attack on the world's citizens!

'Chemtrails' are said to contain 'ethylene dibromide' (toxic additive to JP-8 jet fuel); 'Pseudomonas fluorescens' (a bacteria used by the military for bio-remediation; known to cause respiratory illness and blood infections); unidentified substances used to seed cirrus clouds for weather modification; Anthrax; E. coli; even elements of nanotechnology. Theorists claim after days of heavy activity over particular urban areas, clinics will report epidemic levels of patients with flu-like symptoms, upper respiratory problems, and other illnesses.

The domestic bio-warfare connection was given the most validity after former Lycos 'Entertainment News Service' reporter William Thomas wrote an article series about contrails that occasionally dripped down to earth in cobweb-like strands. Thomas said he and a medical expert collected samples of a 'brown, gel-like substance' that splattered over the sides of two aluminium structures in separate states and had them tested at an 'EPA'-licensed facility.

The lab discovered 'Pseudomona flourescens', 'Enterobacter cloacae', and 'Serratia marcescens', one of the 'simulants' the 'London Telegraph' reported the British 'Ministry of Defence' sprayed from a ship over Dorset's population during the 1970s. Bio-warfare proponents are bolstered by Dr. Leonard Cole (Rutgers University), who testified before the US Senate about army vulnerability testing staged between 1949-1969 (and still today at Salt Lake City's 'Dugway Proving Ground'). Agents released 'simulants' later found to be toxic from cars' exhaust pipes, wind-powered suitcases, boats, and even light-bulbs thrown New York City subway cars' tracks to test domestic vulnerability to bio-chemical warfare attacks. With proven records of populace testing behind 'Clouds of Secrecy', what's to cast doubt on contemporary high altitude spraying claims?

Lack of evidence for one. No chemtrail conspiracy proponent has released documented lab tests of the trails' composition. Thomas still hasn't published his 'EPA' lab test results anywhere. A 'New Mexico' newspaper interviewer quoted him saying he would do so if offered grants large enough to launch proper investigations. More questionable still is his chemtrail remedy pills business. Cole isn't aware of any modern jet plane testing and considers it unlikely the military would test at such heights: results would be difficult to track over such wide areas. The aviation science underlying claims is also problematic, according to marine turbine engineer Jay Reynolds, the most notable chemtrail debunker: "If you pass almost any chemical through a gas turbine engine, the combustion temperature is like 2000 degrees. Nothing survives: it's an incinerator."

Thomas has alluded to Air Force weather modification projects and the infamous 'HAARP'. But NASA's 'Atmospheric Effects of Aviation Project' (AEAP) determined heavy contrail activity over a New England commercial flight path is responsible for 2% more cloudiness than normal.

The chemtrail community mirrors the UFOlogy underworld before 'The X-Files': explanatory reports are shared on message boards and poorly designed web-sites; believers continually cross-cite their work whilst including scant outside research. Debunkers are dismissed as government agents. Before missiles are aimed at unmarked jets, let's hope lab results are handy!

 
 
more information  
 

Contrails Or Chemtrails?
Jeff Rense's 'Sightings' page devoted to the controversy, mostly providing handy links to the crucial chemtrail believer sites

Germ Warfare Secretly Tested On 1M People
This 'London Telegraph' article (May 17th, 1998) by Andrew Gilligan and Rob Evans analyzes new documents released from the 'Ministry of Defence' which details the secret spraying of Dorset with large quantities of biological warfare 'simulants'. Chilling.

Open Air Testing With Simulated Biological And Chemical Warfare Agents
Dr. Leonard A. Cole (Rutgers University, Newark) testified before the 'Committee on Veterans' Affairs' (May 6th, 1994) about 45 years of open air testing by military forces, involving "biological and chemical warfare agents . . .[which] are intended to mimic more lethal bacteria and chemicals that might be used in actual warfare." Excellent background information and historical context.

Chemtrail Crimes & Cover Up Documented
Noted chemtrail believer Clifford Carnicom's page with extensive links, photos, email petitions to the White House, and microscope images of sky samples.

The Atmospheric Effects Of Aviation Project
NASA's study on contrails and how they affect weather. Useful for advanced research.

Dugway Proving Ground Survivors: 1942-1972
Part of the 'Registry of Atmospheric Testing' web-site, dedicated to military personnel who participated in the US Army's atmospheric testing of germ, chemical and radiological warfare testing. "Striving to aid veterans exposed to dangerous substances without their full knowledge of the consequences or informed consent."

ATSDR: ToxFAQs: 1,2-Dibromoethane
'Registry Department of Health and Human Services Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease' page with information on 'Dibromoethane', the alleged jet fuel additive responsible for illness and sometimes death.

William Thomas
Numerous eyewitness reports, photos, and explanations discussed. Especially relevant are his responses to 'Frequently Aired Criticisms'. Good luck navigating: for some reason, chemtrail sites invariably cram all their info on as few pages as possible.

Contrails, or 'Trails-CON'?
Chief debunker Jay Reynolds' site with background info on some of the key chemtrail believers' other ideas, their claims analyzed, the evolution of the controversy, and an open email to Lycos to take down the Thomas articles from 'ENS'.

High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program Home Page
The OFFICIAL 'HAARP' site with lots of information!

Contrail Connection
Recent reports, photos, hundreds of links to related information. Like many chemtrail sites, 'Contrail Connection' is in the habit of posting a list of government agencies that visit the page!

Borderlands: Scientific Studies Regarding Aircraft Contrails And Cloud Formation
Skeptical site that deflates the myth that normal contrails dissipate quickly. Links to both sides of the story.

Chemtrails.org
A research center purporting to be biased toward neither side of the controversy. Lots of information, if you can wade through the attempts at ecommerce and ads for this and that service (what does it take to get a .org these days?). Mentions the nanotechnology theory.

Lycos' Environmental News Service
William Thomas was a reporter with Lycos' 'Environmental News Service'. Keep up to date with environmental controversies here.
