There is a group of folks who believe that instead of normal "contrails" left by jets in the sky, that the government is deliberately leaving chemical trails, or "chemtrails," which are for specific purposes. One theory espouses that these chemicals are for weather tampering. Another says it's to create a particular radio wave reflector.

If you haven't followed this issue, the leading proponents of investigation into this part of "science" have been reporting for several years that the government is deliberately spraying large layers of material composed of boron, aluminum and barium (plus other "stuff") into the atmosphere, especially in the Pacific Northwest. Why there? Because if you draw out a great circle heading from Alaska to the coast off of Florida where Ophelia has been sitting (a darn strange behavior for a hurricane) gathering strength, you'll find that given the jet stream and other winds aloft, you could "seed clouds" to become huge passive radio wave reflectors, which could send scalar/radio waves off in the direction of Florida. |

Among other things countering the "arguments" of debunkers that chemtrails are only normal contrails, and not some kind of controlled program on the part of government, is that, when chemtrails formed in the Northeast, for at least the past year, cumulous clouds never formed! If chemtrails were harmless and innocuous paths of water vapor from random jets, there would have to have been at least one case when cumulous clouds formed, following such an onslaught. But they never did. The only reason any relief was seen in the past year in the Northeast was that chemtrails were not always laid immediately prior to an expected storm system. For a period, near the end of winter 2002, and into the beginning of spring 2002, chemtrails were not laid, just before storm fronts were expected. When a storm was predicted, and chemtrails were not produced in the sky, the storm, generally, occurred. |
Actually, I kind of doubt that the American FedGov would do something that they think is "good" (like cleaning up pollution) and not shout it from the rooftops. However, I'm sure they would do something, without ever telling the American Public, that they aren't sure what the results will be - or if they suspect that what they are doing may have a negative effect.
I've seen these so-called chemtrails. It's a stream of white "smoke" tailing from jets. They criss-cross the sky, and don't dissipate like contrails do. It's not just pollution, which happens to be brown, that you can see on the horizon most days.
So the chemtrails have some basis after all, and in this official GAO report regarding the use of chaff for military purposes:

(These are snippets and may not be directly consecutive paragraphs; however, all are from the same document.) DOD Management Issues Related to Chaff Chaff works like a decoy by presenting a false target to enemy radar systems. It has been used by the military for more than 50 years. It was used during World War II and more recently during Operation Desert Storm. Chaff is also used in the peacetime training and testing of weapons. Chaff may be dispersed in bundles weighing from a few ounces to 24 pounds or from rolls in a continuous stream of over 30 pounds per minute.1 Concern about the potential effects of chaff continues to be an issue and has been expressed mainly by citizens and various public interest groups. In addition, some DOD research on the effects of chaff has expressed concerns and recommended further research. Most of the public concerns center around its effects on human health and the environment, including the potential for chaff particles to be inhaled or ingested and chaff's effects on land, water, plants, and animals. While DOD components report that chaff is an effective means of defense for aircraft, ships, and related weapon systems, DOD and other agencies have identified some unintended and potential side effects of chaff. Chaff can affect safety by interfering with air traffic control radar. Chaff can also affect weather radar observations and the operation of friendly radar systems, especially when vehicles stir up chaff that has settled on the ground. It has been reported that chaff has also caused power outages and damaged electrical equipment. Potential effects cited by Defense and other organizations include those on health and the environment. For example, the Air Force reported that chaff has a potential but remote chance of collecting in reservoirs and causing chemical changes that may affect water and the species that use it. Notwithstanding DOD's actions, some concerns continue to be raised by the public and federal agencies about the potentially harmful or undesirable effects of chaff on the environment. Also, some of DOD's studies cite additional areas where questions have been raised about the unintended effects of chaff. DOD has not systematically followed up on these questions or on the recommendations in these reports to determine whether they merit additional review. Lastly, DOD continues to retain lead-based chaff in its inventory even though this type of chaff has not been manufactured since 1987 and is reportedly no longer in use. |
