High Altitude Contrails - Do We Really Know What They Are?

The Chemtrail Debate is Reopened

E. Farnum
I have long wondered about the high altitude contrails I see crisscrossing the northern Nevada skies. The proliferation of these contrails, (or chemtrails as conspiracy theorists call them) have been happening since the nineties, and even before that. As a writer of fiction, I've looked at different possibilities to create a scifi thriller using the chemtrail conspiracy concept. But current research has uncovered something that makes any of my ideas for a thriller pale in comparison to what may really be happening up there.

This is what we currently know as fact concerning high altitude contrails. Contrails are formed when jets burn fuel in the upper troposphere. At that altitude low temperatures cause the water vapors, nitrous oxides, carbon dioxide, and aerosols to freeze and from a thick condensation trail of ice crystals that may persist, or disappear rather quickly depending on the humidity of the ambient air. For year's sailors have used contrails to forecast weather conditions - short-lived contrails are a signal that weather will be fair, and thick persistent ones show an increased amount of humidity and signal change. There's nothing scary with that at all, and there have been many studies and papers written on the contrail problem. Yes, even non conspiracy theorists are concerned about the impact these high altitude aerosol-emitting contrails are having on the environment, it is a problem. And rightly so, as the properties of these contrails are very similar to those of clouds but differ in radiative properties - - just add pollution. They do in fact form into lenticular and cirrus clouds and contribute to global warming.

What are some of the other things we have been told about contrails? Take a look at one contrail, or chemtrail conspiracy and you've basically seen them all. The Government in conjunction with a Pharmaceutical giant, deliberately keeps us chronically sick by spraying toxic contrails over the land. Oh yeah, that makes a lot of sense. Or, the aerosol operations are designed to somehow keep the populace stupid through inhalants, and my favorite - a massive mind control and brainwashing operation. The most plausible and current explanation for the profusion of jet contrails crisscrossing the skies is (1) There has been a sizeable increase in the amount of commercial, and private air traffic over the years, and (2) the fact that we have global warming. Not to say that it is the sole contributor, but one nonetheless.

Ok, but what about the shocking truth that I alluded to in the first paragraph. I'll tell you right now some are dismissing it as another crazy conspiracy. Samples have been taken, and analyzed by independent laboratories. With so many variables, you can expect conflicting results. But some results show that contrails contain a mixture of barium, aluminum oxide particles, and carbon black, and that they are being used to construct and maintain an atmospheric barrier against the sun - - and mass extinction. The universe is going through some extreme changes and the sun is far more active than it has been for a while. A strong debate is starting up among scientists regarding whether the activity is extra solar in nature because of the fact that our entire solar system has moved into a new area of space filled with anomalous energy. There are strange things happening from one end of the solar system to the other.

Like the Earth, Mars is warming - NASA scientists predict the icecaps will melt there by the year 2050 (The Martians need their own atmospheric barrier)

Pluto is 3.66 billion miles from the Sun, and it too is heating up, and getting denser (hotter) as it travels farther from the Sun.

The gas giants Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Jupiter, are all heating up. If Jupiter's moon IO gets any hotter some believe it may melt.

Mercury, (the closest planet to the sun) opposite from heating, has developed an ice cap. How does that happen on a surface where the average temperature is 332°.

I'm not going to get into the transdimensional energy theory that is emerging to explain all of this. But it is remarkable that these events are occurring, and this is one answer explaining why contrails have been increasing in our skies. And if the atmospheric barrier is indeed nothing more than a conspiracy theory, why hasn't the government addressed the questions it has raised. Why hasn't the media given it more attention? There was a Fox news report about the chemtrails in 2002 but any follow up was dropped and the story faded away. Have mainstream and scientific reporters been persuaded to drop their efforts to discover exactly what the multitude of contrails/chemtrails are doing in our skies? It's not just in America; it's all over the planet. Is it possible that governments worldwide are collaborating to save the planet underneath our very noses? If this be true I highly doubt any government would make the admission. How many people over the years have claimed sickness as a result of chemtrails, how many do you think would sue? Should I mention the threat of worldwide panic and pandemonium if such admissions were made? Global warming is under fierce debate as it is, and with credible scientists on both sides of the coin who's to say that the edge (of the coin) should be ignored.

It is interesting to note that the AEAP: Atmospheric Effects of Aviation Project has been removed from the web along with two or three other sites technical in nature - - but it doesn't really matter. If you stop and think about it, you're going to have a hard time covering up something of this magnitude when it gets into full swing, I don't care who or what you are. How can you cover up things like California size pieces of ice disappearing from Antarctica? (An article right here on AC) Even with the global warming from our end, climatic changes are far more pronounced and accelerated than they should be.

Five, ten, twenty years from now, we'll know if the contrails are doing their job and protecting us. And as far as conspiracy theorists, and non-theorists alike are concerned, what are a few people experiencing an allergic reaction to falling oxides compared with the population of a planet. Listen, if Art Bell were around in the 1940's and 50's I'm sure Albert Einstein would have been a guest on his show. Only through investigation and experimentation will we prove or disprove anything.

    Thanks for a sober and factual look at a subject that can get real kooky real fast

    I did want to make clear, however, that I found this article very sobering and enlightening in spite of my first comment. These parts, among others, grabbed my interest and had me forwarding this to people to read: climatic changes are far more pronounced and accelerated than they should be.

    Agreed.

    I confess I didn't even know what a "contrail" was until I saw the photo and then I thought, "Oh, so that is the term for those things!" Of course, I had to read your article to get the rest of the info, being hooked at that point. I think if you'd called this "Those Sexy High Altitude Contrails- What the Heck are They?" you'd have gotten even more interest in this one. Just a thought. ;)

    Fascinating!

  • Barbara Fields 6/2/2007

    I've been suspicious and wary of chemtrails for years and when I see them If I'm somewhere that I can, I go indoors...My friend out if LA sends me quotes all the time from Art Bell...drives me a bit crazy....very interesting article..thanks

  • Carol Gilbert 5/30/2007

    What an unusual topic and a great lot of interesting information.

  • E Farnum 5/29/2007

    Some believe it is a government attempt to vaccinate us against anthrax, and other biological agents.

  • DrDevience 5/28/2007

    And oh yeah... I doubt Contrails have anything to do with it, but the US is in the business of keeping the population sick. That part is no silly conspiracy theory.

  • DrDevience 5/28/2007

    Interesting...

    I will never look at the sky the same way again. WOW!!!
