It is becoming evident as more photographs, videos and reports of sightings surface that very unusual "flying objects" originate from (or are attracted to) some persistent contrails and appear to be performing some kind of activity within them. These anomalous objects which vary in size could be of a robotic nature (origin unknown). It does appear that many of these objects are surrounded by a gaseous substance and/or reflective or light emitting surface which seems to encase one or more spherical shaped objects. This photo was taken in July 2000 in Monroe, Michigan by John Kean while photographing persistent contrails in the area. The object near the center of the photos was not seen at the time. My enlargement and enhancements of this small dark rounded area seems to reveal a structured object with a small sphere within a symmetrical encasement. More enhancements and photo analysis will be conducted. While the object in this photo may or may not be associated with the contrail above, it is becoming apparent is that some of these objects in or near persistent contrails are self-propelled and are not simply released and falling from the sky. Video tapes and photographs appear to verify not only these objects' ability to remain stationary within a persistent contrail but to exhibit flocking and 'swarming' behavior outside the contrail and within nearby clouds. Some larger lighter colored objects appear along with the smaller darker objects within persistent contrails and travel in and out of contrails singularly. These objects are not as plentiful as the smaller darker ones and appear to be UAV-like surveillance/monitoring/coordinating devices.
Yet if either type of object are monitoring devices I question why they appear to move out of the contrail and into nearby clouds or move closer to ground level well below the contrail. I know that DARPA has several research projects regarding "smartdust" and "motes" -- robots ranging in size from microscopic to 2 feet or so ("motes" and "micromotes") - some of which can inter-communicate with one another and home base to perform various tasks. (see sites listed below and the Sightings article "DARPA Selects Micro Air Vehicle (MAV) Contractor" http://www.sightings.com/general3/cla.htm)
 In a recent issue of Nature, scientists have announced the creation of small almost totally self-replicating robots with high grade AI capabilities. These robots can forage for food and communicate with one another. "Laurent Keller and his colleagues at the University of Lausanne in Switzerland described how they taught robots community spirit by programming them to behave like ants in foraging for food. They found that 'group dynamics of swarms of robots may follow similar rules to those governing social insects.'" (see "Robot System Can Design and Make Other Robots" Sightings 8-31-00) But can they fly -- hover and maneuver quickly in mid air and at high altitude?
 It is my impression that the objects I have witnessed and photographed and the accounts of other witnesses to PC associated objects-- that some may be well ahead of our current technology -- though this is difficult to tell with the exponential escalation of R&D projects. While small flying drones with robotic capabilities are in development, it appears that none exhibited have the capability of maintaining flight for more than 30 minutes nor do they exhibit flight maneuverability close to the objects witnessed by myself and other researchers. What Are We Looking At? Human or extraterrestrial technology? Von Neumann like probes from another world? Human made electromagrobots cooled by liquid nitrogen (for superconducting purposes) performing limited project activities? A harmful or helpful activity? It is likely that many things are happening in our skies-- testing of experimental aircraft, testing of contrails, military radar jamming tests -- and likely the majority of contrails are caused by commercial airliners leaving lasting contrails in a rapidly changing atmosphere (or having their normal contrails transformed into persistent contrails by passing through unusual contrail remnants or clouds). But some are not like the others... (see http://www.sightings.com/general3/ufochem.htm and http://tracers.8m.com/why.htm for more information) Many theories have been bandied around in an attempt to explain the increase in long-lasting spreading contrails: chemical or biowarfare agents to cull the population, simulants of chemical or BW agents to develope counter measures, an increase in global warming with atmospheric effects, an attempt to counter the effects of increased air traffic emissions or ozone holes or UV radiation...to name a few... Our atmosphere is changing...that is evident....persistent contrails are contributing...that is evident. Is this creation of strange cirrus-like "clouds" incidental to the release of these objects via persistent contrails? Or is this vast new atmospheric 'covering' of the planet one of the purposes of this project? If this is an "atmos-forming" project--why would humans purposefully try to warm up the planet by producing cirrus-like clouds? To grasp the purpose of persistent contrail creation, we must ask: What is the purpose of these PC associated objects? If this is a human conducted project -- it is a project of global proportions -- crossing every border. This indicates vast coordination and cooperation by world leaders or by a group so powerful that borders present no obstacles. Even though self-replicating units can be more affordable, this "project" still would take enormous resources. If this bizarre activity in our skies is not an official or clandestine action of governments or other human groups, we may be looking at a "project" of not only global but universal proportions. _____ Links to flying robotic programs/research http://www.spyplanes.com/News/LOE4/LOE4.html http://robotics.eecs.berkeley.edu/~pister/SmartDust/

Hi. If the scan is truly original, the anomalous object is not robotic at all, but manned by a crew of two. All the signs of the craft is in the enlargement photos. While your conclusion of the object "sphere within a symmetrical encasement" is correct, the shape is much more unique and impressive in detail. The object in this picture is a terrestrial IFO, and it does not belong to the Pentagon. I am puzzled and can not imagine this craft generating chemtrails. Their main purpose is defense and surveillance. These anomalous objects........... It does appear that many of the (se) object (s) are surrounded by a gaseous substance and (/or reflective or) light emitting surface which seems to encase one or more spherical shaped objects. Correct summation. Very good!!! The object near the center of the photos was not seen at the time. My enlargement and enhancements of this small dark rounded area seems to reveal a structured object with a small sphere within a symmetrical encasement. More enhancements and photo analysis will be conducted. Correct summation. Anthony
Hello, I took a closer look at the article at The article never mentions the equipment used. But I can directly infer that it was a digital camera or scanner: 640x480 at 72ppi, JPEG 1:7 compression, etc. The "anomalous object" in the picture IMHO can be best explained as 'pixel dropout'. Several points will support this: (1) The article states: "The object near the center of the photos was not seen at the time." Note the sentence clearly means to say 'more than one photo'. No other photos were presented in the article; we see only the one. Therefore, the "object" was most likely manufactured inside the equipment, so to speak. That's not to say the equipment is faulty, as dropouts do happen from time to time, and it's just a fact of digital equipment. If accurate photographs are needed, use a 35mm film camera and 'optical' enlargements of the negatives. (2) The pixel dropout occurred 'before' the JPEG compression took place. Perhaps it was caused by a speck of dust, but judging from the pattern of the dark pixels, it's more likely an electrical problem or 'noise' in the CCD/circuitry. The pattern shown in the picture is quite commonly 'seen' when such a digital glitch occurs [see file attached]. This would be another reason to use a high-quality film camera. (3) The article mentions many objects seem to be "surrounded by a gaseous substance". As for the particular picture in question here, the pixels surrounding the dark pixels are simply produced by two separate software algorithms: (a) 'Sharpening' and (b) JPEG compression -- some people call these 'digital artifacts'. One can see 'sharpening' throughout the same picture: look at the power lines, the roof edge, and tree leaves. JPEG compression occurs on every pixel of the picture. The result is *never* what the CCD actually saw. And this is a third reason to use a film camera. (4) When one performs digital enlargements and enhancements using such erroneous and terribly-compressed data, one gets even further from the truth. A JPEG file simply cannot be used as the 'base' for such studies. Therefore, the enlargements in the article are bogus from the very start. It is too late to 'improve' this particular picture, as the equipment provided only a JPEG version of it. This is a fourth reason to use a film camera and to perform enlargements using the original negatives. To sum up: I am not disputing whether there really are "unusual 'flying objects'". Do not get me wrong here. I am merely pointing out that this particular picture is not one to be used as proof that such exists. -- thx, Paul Seniura (in OkC)
