- "Not a cloud in the sky."
When is the last time you can remember repeating that phrase? For many
of us living in the continental United States, a truly clear sky has become
a thing of the past. Is this due to the industrialized society that our
nation has become? Yes, in part, but what about Montana, Idaho, and Western
North Carolina for that matter? What about the quiet neighborhoods and
otherwise undisturbed wildlife throughout the United States whose skies
are being tainted with clouds which cannot be defined by any meteorologist?
-
- The answer is contrails. Contrails are
the white/silver cloud-like exhaust from airplanes that are visible from
the ground. Normal contrails from commercial planes dissipate and vanish
into air. That,s nothing new.
-
- What is new is the abnormally thick contrails
appearing with great frequency as of late from non-commercial planes.
These planes are obviously not commercial jets because they fly together
in tight formations too close to comply with Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) regulations.
-
- And they often fly in grid patterns and
mark X,s in the sky with the contrails they leave behind.
-
- The contrails these suspicious planes
produce do not immediately dissipate. Instead, they linger across the
sky and, after several hours, spread out into what appears to be cloud
coverage hovering over us in the sky throughout the day.
-
- If you have not noticed them, it is probably
because you thought you were seeing clouds, but quite often, on what would
be an otherwise clear day, contrails create a partly cloudy atmosphere.
And when there are already clouds in the sky, contrails simply blend in
with the atmosphere, making them even less detectable.
-
- However, quite a few weary observers
have taken notice of the suspicious contrails zig-zagging and eventually
blanketing the sky. In fact, several websites have formed that are devoted
to the research of this bizarre and mysterious trend which has become somewhat
of a fixture throughout the U.S.
-
- As a result, some unconfirmed theories
have come forth which could help to shed some light on the matter. An
influx of respiratory illnesses have been reported in areas of heavy contrail
activity. Meningitis outbreaks have occurred in several states recently
-- North Carolina being one of them. Some who believe they have fallen
ill as a direct result of the contrails say the ailments they suffer from
are not unlike symptoms of some types of biological warfare. Meanwhile,
William Thomas Author, a veteran award-winning journalist, notes that toll-free
tracking numbers across the country are asking people to come forward for
tests and treatment -- "if they qualify with specific symptoms incurred
within a specific time period within a specific radius of exposure.
-
- Shocking as this may sound, it should
be noted that U.S. government experiments have been conducted on the American
population before. For example, just last year the federal government made
a public apology to the Tuskeegee Airmen of World War II for secretly exposing
them to a painful, contagious and uncurable sexually transmitted disease.
-
- According to Author, two U.S. Senate
investigations in 1977 and 1994 document decades of open air biowarfare
testing over the American and Canadian public.
-
- Author gives a few examples among hundreds
of US cities which he says have been the target of open air experiments:
-
- In 1950, the U.S. Navy sprayed a cloud
of Serratia marcescens bacteria over San Francisco. Monitoring devices
tested the extent of infection as many residents fell ill with pneumonia-like
symptoms.
-
- In 1966 the U.S. Army dispensed Bacillus
subtilis variant Niger throughout the New York City subway system. More
than a million New Yorkers were exposed. And Minneapolis was hit with
the same disease causing bacteria 20 years later in 1997.
-
- United States Code - Title 50 - War and
National Defense Chapter 32 - Chemical and Biological Warfare Program Sec.
1520 - Biowarfare experimentation on the American public - states that
the Secretary of Defense may not conduct any test or experiment involving
the use of a chemical or "biological agent on a civilian population...except
for research and law enforcement purposes, including any purpose related
to riot control.
-
- This same U.S. Code defines "biological
agent as "Any micro-organism (including bacteria, viruses, fungi,
rickettsiac, or protozoa), pathogen, or infectious substance, and any naturally
occurring, bioengineered, or synthesized component of any such micro-organism,
pathogen, or infectious substance, whatever its origin or method of production,
that is capable of causing: (1) death, disease, or other biological malfunction
in a human, an animal, a plant, or another living organism; (2) deterioration
of food, water, equipment, supplies, or materials of any kind; or (3) deleterious
alteration of the environment.
-
- This law also requires that all test
subjects must give their informed consent for research., Grant it, military
servicemen surrender their civilian rights upon enlistment, but, chances
are less than likely that the more than 460,000 American GIs forced to
take PB in the Gulf were ever asked for their consent, much less, informed
that this nerve agent actually amplifies the effects of the sarin nerve
agent raining over them. Or, that they were ever given the choice to refuse
mycoplasma-contaminated anthrax.
-
- Furthermore, Executive Order 12975 -
Protection of Human Research Subjects and Creation of National Bioethics
Advisory Commission - signed by President William Clinton, speaks to departments
and agencies taking into account recommendations contained in a report
from the "Advisory Committee on "Human Radiation Experiments.
-
- There,s much more to report on this topic
and even more that is still unknown and unavailable to the public. This
report is Part I of a four-part series.

- FINDING OUT ABOUT CONTRAILS
-
- As the article states, there are several
websites dedicated to providing information, theories, geographical locations,
and photographs concerning contrails. One such website provided the Asheville
Tribune with its user log. During the course of only four days these are
some of the parties that were recorded signing onto this particular contrails
website:
-
- -NASA, Goddard Flight Center -Defense
Systems Information Agency -Federal Emergency Management Agency -Kelly
Air Force Base, Texas (7 visits) -McClellan Air Force Base, Sacramento
(maintains KC-135 tanker fleet) -US Navy, Chief of Naval Education and
Training -US Navy, Naval Sea Systems Command -Department of Justice -Department
of Housing and Urban Development (8 visits) -Environmental Protection Agency
(Pennyslvania) -US Department of Agriculture (2 visits) -US Veterans Administration
(4 visits) -Univ. of Pennyslvania Cardiology Dept. -Virginia Beach General
Hospital -Martin County, Florida Board of County Commissioners -Eaton,
Inc. high-tech company that makes everything from environmental testing
to electro-magnetic laboratories. -Visioneering Research, Inc. - their
website says they "deliver image-based solutions in nuclear safeguards,
DNA sequencing, artifact classification, aerial monitoring, and space-debris
detection." -Monsanto, Inc. - involved in health/pharmaceuticals -Roche,
Inc. - involved in pharmaceuticals, DuPont Pharmaceuticals -Medtronic,
Inc. - medical and health, T.R.W. - 4 visits (defense contractor) -Boeing
Aerospace (12 visits), Rockwell Collins Aerospace -Allegheny Teledyne -
aerospace and defense -Lockheed Martin Aerospace(4 visits) -Honeywell Aviation
division, (2 visits) -Sundstrand Aerospace (3 visits) -Idaho National Engineering
& Environmental Laboratory (5 visits) Heavily into environmental technology,
working with Lockheed. They make "ionmeters" for the detection
of chemical and biological agents among other things.
-
- "Some pretty heavy hitters there,
as you can see. They have shown repeated interest in this subject. I would
think people like that have better things to do than follow silly conspiracy
theories -- which tells me this is VERY real to somebody, said the sites
designer.

- WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ...
-
- One interesting note, from researching
this article over the past several weeks, is the consistency of descriptions
and photographs taken across the country. Of course, there is no way to
confirm each of these email claims and internet postings but many of them
attatch photo's with their reports. Here is a brief summary of seperate
statements from individuals who do not know each other and are from various
cities across the nation:
-
- MESA, AZ [May 10] - "I stepped outside
this morning in Mesa, AZ and couldn't help but notice that we are once
again being sprayed. There were at least three aircraft involved that flew
in various criss-cross patterns over the valley."
-
- SANTE FE [May 10] - "Sprayed all
day Friday last week, started sporadically today, Monday 10th. People sneezing
to worse, feeling tired, depressed and pissed."
-
- CALIFORNIA [May 9] - "It is 9:00
am Sunday morning in Fortuna, CA (on the northern coast of CA, 23 miles
south of Eureka) and there is at least one plane spraying or releasing
a long continuous patterns of white trails. The plane(s) have just finished
their third north to south parallel trail. The first trail is dispersing
into what appears to be a sinking white cloud, as is the second."
-
- CALIFORNIA [May 9] - Santa Rosa, CA (60
miles north of SF on US 101) observed 7 North to South contrails, in dissipation
mode observed 2 additional contrails to the east, approximately Napa/Solano
Counties in the process of being made at 0815."
-
-
- CALIFORNIA [May 9] - Currently have slight
offshore winds and the San Jose chemtrails are drifting overhead now. It
is very hazy and again we have rainbow halo around the sun. Got on top
of the house for better veiw and spotted heavy activity directly over Monterey
Bay."
-
- OHIO [May 9] - "Sunday,10:55 A.M.
Columbus, Ohio. I am watching a heavy spray of Chemtrails. There appears
to be multiple planes involved. They all appear to be leaving the same
Chemtail pattern and all of them seem to be flying at the same alltitude.
They seem to be spraying in a grid like pattern."
-
- NORTH CAROLINA [May 7] - On 5-7-99 almost
all of Raleigh and surrounding areas got it. I travel to work from 30
miles south of Ral. to north Ral. and could see the trails in every direction.
Large X's and many planes spraying. My lungs have been burning since
the first spraying on the 4th."
-
- CALIFORNIA [May 6] - I was in Century
City, CA (A little west of L.A.) on 05-06-99. I witnessed spraying that
looked like it went all the way over the valley. The trails lasted for
a very long time and spread out in a way I don't remember seeing before.
I saw four of them crossing over each other."
-
- OREGON [May 4] - Tuesday, in Springfield
Oregon. Several Chemtrails, and by afternoon, the sky was gray. About
5 north and south, and 2 east and west. My boss is very ill, and his wife
is on and off with this thing too."
-
- TENNESSE [May 2] - I live outside of
Portland TN (about an hour north of Nashville) and on Sunday, May 2, there
were an unusual amount of contrails in the skies - four parallel to each
other and 2 X's. I make it a point to know where the usual commercial/military
flight paths are over my house and none of these were in those paths. For
several days afterward, I had a strange (for me) thing to happen - it was
as if I had suddenly become allergic."
-
- Here are some samples of other reports
being posted across the internet:
-
- D. writes: "Just a note, sometime
in early Feb.99, I was going south on I55 in Missouri, when I started noticing
quite a few contrails, forming x's in the sky but also something else.
I'm a trucker, go thru this area quite often, and it's the first time I
saw this and a whole lot of spider web type substance floating down out
of the sky. I asked some other drivers via the CB, and they were fascinated
by this also. The substance clung all over my truck for several hundred
miles. Just wondered if anyone else ever noticed this stuff also. I could
give exact dates if needed via my log books."
-
- C. writes: "[On April 13] from 10-10:45am
eight planes were seen laying a criss-cross grid over Sioux City [Iowa].
A funny chemical smell is in the air. They contrailed yesterday but not
this severe. My daughter and I got sinus problems overnight and my 4-year
old daughter had a fever of 103.6 by 10:30pm last night. She had been
perfectly fine till the fever. There are still no symptoms--just a very
high fever."
-
- CH writes: "We have been bombarded
with the contrails here in Hartford Conn, for at least a month now. Everyday
planes are flying continuously over my area spraying long white clouds
that then widen. There are so many planes doing this that by mid-day the
whole area takes on the appearance of a cloudy day. Prior to learning about
this in CONTACT Newspaper my entire family, wife, son (2 yrs old) were
struck with what we believed to be the flu. I have never ever been so sick
in my life. I am 53 yrs old and I have never experienced such sickness.
Fortunately we are all over it but my son sickness lasted over two weeks.
I just rested my body for 3-4 days and allowed it to heal itself. I don't
believe in doctors or trust the medical profession so I did not seek out
any professional help (doctors). The planes fly over all day and into the
evening. This month we had a new moon and you could still see the planes
flying at night. What in God's name is going on and what can we as people
coming together as one mind do about this?"
-
-
- "[April 30] Our television station
Channel 10, located here in Miami, picked up the contrails on their equipment
and sent a team to Boca Chica Air Force Base at Key West, Florida to find
out what is happening over the Ocean and the Keys. The Air Force admitted
that they are dumping canisters of fiber into the air which acts like a
screen to hide the aircraft. These are practice flights for combat. The
fibers consist of silicon with an aluminum coating."
-
-
- "{5/12/99] I watched from my back
yard, three aircraft take over four hours to make "ribs" across
the entire dome of a sky --and the ribs all drifted together and filled
the entire sky!!! We had electrical storms the following three days and
I felt as if I had the flu --really dragging around for a week."
