Thanks for creating this forum. I too am absolutely sick and tired of the diversionary nonsense propagated about the on-going aerosol operations in our skies. I've been taking an interest in the issue for some time now and welcome a forum committed to serious analysis and discussion.
As a child I remember being fascinated by the specks in the sky passing overhead and their exotic trails. Never could I make out the details of the plane like the windows or the markings, or even the wings in most cases, but that didn't concern me. My interest was with the white trails they left, so high and so fleetingly up there. Why did they interest me? I don't know. Maybe it was to prepare me for what was to come at the end of the nineties. These days I find it easier to appreciate that life (or its creator) often works this way.
I remember how sometimes I'd look up having heard a plane only to be disappointed because there was no trail. It puzzled me. It was around this time that a dear uncle of mine (now sadly passed away), took me to an air show and I recall asking him why none of the planes except the Red Arrows (the British Royal Air Force display team) left trails. He explained the Red Arrows were using smoke and that the reason the other planes didn't leave a trail was because they were flying too low for contrails to form; because the trails were in fact, made up of ice crystals or water vapour which tended to dissipate immediately or not form at all at low altitudes, especially on hot sunny days like that one. I knew he was ex-RAF and accepted that he knew what he was talking about. I wasn't best pleased, but at least I felt I understood – and sure enough, I continued to observe aircraft which confirmed the truth of his words for myself.
In the thirty-five years since that day I have learned (among other things) that normal contrails rarely form under 30,000 feet owing to recognized scientific principles. Even NASA explains this in an easily understandable form on their website: and while they do of course point out that contrails CAN form at lower altitudes, they suggest that it is very unlikely in the absence of very unusual and particular atmospheric conditions.
All of which brings me to what I and others have been witnessing increasingly since the late 1990's and I'd like to share this little contemporary example with you. A few days ago (25th May 2007) I woke early (for me) and walked outside with my morning coffee into the glorious sunny morning. It was 7.45 am. As I did so I heard the whine of a jet approaching. Within minutes it appeared, flying south over the top of my home. I grabbed my binoculars (which I had with me to observe an owl which often roosts in a tree within the grounds) and I saw that the aircraft had a quite distinctive livery. It was a twin engined jet in white, with a green stripe and tail and dark blue engines. It left a semi-persistent trail coloured white – although it appeared slightly more silvery and a shade bluer than the bits and bobs of white cloud hanging around . Even with the naked eye I could see the colours of the aircraft and the trail quite clearly (remember how I could never see even the wings in my youth?)
Experience had taught me I might be about to witness an aerosol spectacular so I grabbed my camera. Within a minute another plane approached from the same direction. Following exactly the same path in fact, including the bank to the right at the end which created a huge curved line in the air to the south of me. This plane was also white, green and dark blue, the same as the first. Then I noticed another variant (quite a common one in fact), a white twin engined jet plane with a brilliant red stripe and red engines. It took a slightly different route but again, it left a persistent trail and flew much lower than one would expect contrails to form. Then there was another, and another and another – all within about 3 mins of each other – although one curious white/green/blue pair appeared about to be flying in line with only about 50 plane lengths between them! In all I witnessed probably two dozen flyovers within the space of two hours within the airspace I could see from my position (I don't live on a hill or anything so that's not a tremendous amount).
Apart from one much higher and far less distinct (passenger?) plane which passed way, way overhead leaving a very normal looking contrail, every other plane I saw that morning left a semi-persistent trail (some lasted 5 mins or so, others were still there two hours later) at altitudes which allowed me to see details such as engines and livery with the naked eye – and every single plane was either white/red/red or white/green/dark blue. These were NOT commerical airliners. If you think they were, then please tell me which airline it was and explain why they had such a huge influx of passengers that morning?
By around 10.15am the jets had created a somewhat irregular set of generally parallel lines across the sky running mostly North to South but then onslaught stopped just as soon as it had begun. For the rest of the day we only got the occasional “top-up” flyover from white/red planes (the ones I could see), although there was one interesting moment just before the main part of the operation wound down when a black military jet flew very fast East to West, intersecting the other lines and leaving a hugely bilious trail which persisted for several hours. I like to record these things on my camera and I took over 100 shots that morning which for me was a bumper crop. But I was spoiled for choice, in fact, at one time I could see five planes all within the same panorama! On a no-spray day I'm lucky to see five planes a day.
I knew from past experience what this meant: the nice sunny day was going to degenerate into a milky blanket whiteout followed (probably) by rain over the next couple of days. Sure enough, by 2pm the sky had become impenetrable by eye; just an almost completely uniform layer of light-grey cloud cover which darkened as the day wore on. That night it rained – and it kept raining for the next 36hrs on and off until today. (However, as I write, it looks as though they are laying out some more trails so I don't expect to see much sun before Thursday or so).
So what? Well, I certainly didn't write this to “prove” anything to myself. But I didn't write it expecting to convince anyone else either. You have to make up your own mind. Unfortunately, that's a good deal harder than you might imagine. Not only do you have to de-cypher the mountain of disinfo that has put out there surrounding this issue, but you also have to overcome your own innate resistance to taking on board what you learn, ie essentially the tendency of your brain to dismiss me as a tin-foil conspiracy nut in order to avoid the anxiety which might come from actually looking at the issue objectively. I believe that's because at heart you are a good person. I'll say more about this another time perhaps. For now, feel free to dismiss me and this forum as a bunch of “crazies” if it makes you feel better. But before you do, please consider this one request – a little experiment if you like. Just keep an eye out up there for the next two weeks or or so, especially if the weather forecast heralds rain in two or three days time. You might be surprised, particularly if you are sixteen years of age or older, that is, if you are old enough to remember the pre-aerosol days. Your subconscious mind remembers, even if you don't.
I'm dying to pop a Carl Jung quote in at that point, but I think that's probably more than enough for my first post, so thanks again for inviting me on to this forum. Especially now, with the seemingly inexorable drift towards bringing the aerosol operations out into the mainstream (albeit still camouflaged beneath a veil of disinformation and lies) I feel it is critical that there be somewhere where discussion can be held on this topic without the constant “noise” and interruption generated by those who seek to suppress the truth as they manufacture the “new normal”. Equally however, I feel it is important that the forum does not inhibit the expression of opinion – which means that I support the idea of a “Diversion Bin” as suggested by May41970. I'd also like to suggest several other things too, but I guess I should wait until I can post that in the “Suggestions” section – and there's a suggestion to start off with!
Take care all. I look forward to the development of a fuller understanding.
