Military spraying "Chaff" Over NorCal

[TxMatt]

Hmm. just wondering on the affects this could have on out door grows in the area. Has anyone els heard anything about this? The weather men are saying its magnetic metals, aluminum and other things being sprayed in the air to block radar. Just seems a bit odd to me.

A guy I know was telling me about this for a couple hours one night. He called them chem trails I think. He said it was aluminum and other metals, the crazy shit is that he showed me one morning and it was very weird. He claimed that bill gates and the government were a part of it. He has been researching it for a long time.... He said that the aluminum will kill the vegetation, and that bill gates already developed seeds that tolerate high levels of aluminum and whatever else the shit is. His theory is either that they are going to kill off people, or sell the seeds and make insane amounts of money. Or sell seeds to certain people, make tons of money, and kill off the weak..... Kind of far out there I know, but the government is shady as fuck, it really wouldn't surprise me too much.


and I am really far away from cali, weird

weather my ass!

Those chemtrails are bad news and crazy, possibly as crazy as the dude who told you about them. lol. joking, since these have been happening for awhile its probably not going to mess with the gardens but the shit CANT be good.

There was a thread a couple weeks ago about this, got flamed to death by The Voice of Reason.

This past summer I've noticed them more than any other time of my life. I'm all the way up in the middle of Canada too. Grids being made in the sky, staying there for the entire day. The planes aren't even flying at high altitudes, you see them at about 10 000 ft coordinating runs in the air.

 

[PoopyTeaBags]

theres deffinently a conspiracy going on with chem trails... they are done deliberatly with no reason given to the public... very wierd...

haha thats what I thought at first, He was like you probably think im fucking nuts but Its really happening. I was the guys apprentice for like 5 years, and he is totally normal and isn't into all the conspiracy theories and shit. It really wouldn't surprise me if he was right. When was the last time the government told you the truth about something?

Sorry....

 

[PoopyTeaBags]

there a difference of vapor trails and these chem trails from what i have read... the chem trails will be in the sky all day, ive hear of people talking about a jelly like rain on top of that... also vapor trail disipate within hours...

Sorry....

Yea, I do feel sorry for you. Spend 20 seconds googling what a Contrail is and think you know something.

 

[krunchbubble]

On Thursday the whole bay area sky was checker board with chemtrails.....

perfectly clear before they started at 10 am, by 3 pm, the sky was completely cloudy with the chemtrails expanding.....

its fucked they do this pretty regularly here in the bay area.....

on my buddy's camera with flir, the chemtrails come up as red, the contrails are white.....

 

[mdk ktm]

yeah KMK you might have to spend more than 30 seconds on the subject, or maybe actually see one. There's a huge difference. That shit lingers for a long time. Its like a con-trail, but con trail dissipate rather quickly compared to a chemtrail... I wouldn't have even thought twice about it if it wasn't explained and pointed out to me. Once you see it for yourself it will really make you wonder what is going on... Peoples motives aren't cooling down the earth... Money and power.

That's messed up. Would the aluminum reflect the suns heat? Causing it to be much warmer than a con-trail?

 

[krunchbubble]

contrails are water vapor, they dissipate almost immediately...

chemtrails stay for a long time, slowly expanding all over the sky....

Here is information about Aluminum in the enviro: http://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/toxprofiles/tp.asp?id=191&tid=34

The documentary film “What in the World are They Spraying“, by Michael J. Murphy, attempts to promote the Chemtrail Conspiracy Theory (which states that long lasting contrails are actually the result of secret government spray operations), and proposes a possible explanation: that the trails part of a geoengineering project involving injecting large amounts of aluminum into the atmosphere to block the suns rays.

The basic premise of the film is:
Normal Contrails fade away quickly
Scientists have talked about geoengineering using aluminum sprayed from planes
Since 1999, trails have been observed to persist for a long time
Tests in various locations at ground level have found different levels of aluminum
Monsanto has genetically engineered aluminum resistent crops
The government denies any spraying or geoengineering is going on
THEREFORE: The trails are aluminum being sprayed as part of a secret government geoengineering project.
Normal contrails can persist and spread

That reasoning is somewhat suspect even if you accept all the points. But where it really falls down is that it’s based on a false assumption – that “normal” contrails quickly fade away. In reality, normal contrails can persist for hours, and spread out to cover the sky. Whether they do this or not is entirely dependent on the atmospheric conditions that the plane is flying through, so it depends on the weather, and on the altitude of the plane. This is something that has been observed since 1921. Just look at any book on the weather, like this one from 1981:

The aluminum tests are scientifically unsound

So the film is based on a false premise, and builds upon it to an inevitable false conclusion. But what about the aluminum tests? You can find the tests referenced in the film here:

http://contrailscience.com/files/chemtrails_basic_lab_report.pdf

The first aluminum result is from the pond, discussed at the start of part 3, and it’s 375,000 ug/l. What they don’t mention is that it’s from pond sediment, sludge. So essentially it’s not testing water, but is instead testing the amount of aluminum in soil. So that’s 375 mg/kg for sediment that has settled in a pond over several years. That’s actually quite low. Aluminum concentration in soil ranges from 0.07% to 10%, but is typically 7.1%, or 71,000 mg/kg. The amount of aluminum found in the sludge is quite easily explained by windblown dust. It’s low, probably because it’s a new pond, so a lot of the sediment is vegetable matter.

Then there are the rain readings. 33, 262, 650, 188, 525, 881, 84, 815, 3450, 2190 ug/L. Wildly different values, some high sounding, some low. But no details are provided that correlate these different numbers of contrail activity. If this variation were due to aerial spraying, then surely a match would be found. These numbers simply tell us that different tests produced different results. It does not tell us why. No details of the sampling procedure are given, or the weather conditions preceding the test. Nor are we told what are the expected levels of aluminum to be found under these conditions.

Rain water contains particulates from airborne dust. The amount of particulates will vary greatly based on the weather. A sample from a brief intense storm after a dry period would give you more particulates than a sample taken in the middle of several days of rain. The amount of particulates in the sample would also vary with how long the container is left out in the open. Dust will settle on the container if it’s left out for a while, increasing the amount of aluminum found. All these tests are really telling us is how much dust the sample was contaminated with.

How much aluminum is there in the dust? Let’s say it’s about the ame as the amount of aluminum in soil (although it’s probably higher). How much dust is there in rain? According of Edward Elway Free of the the United State Bureau of Soils, in his book “The Movement of Soil Material by the Wind“, in tests performed by Tissandier, rain water contained 25,000 to 172,000 ug/L of particulates. But he notes “As the amounts of rain and snow which fell in the various cases are not given, the figures are of little value. The first drops of a rain storm will of course contain the largest percentage of dust, and as the storm continues the air is gradually wasted clean.”. Still if only 1% of the lowest figures there were aluminum, then that’s still 250 ug/L. And at a quite plausible 10% of the upper range, that’s 17,200 ug/L. A range that easily covers the observed test results.

The soil tests are where a typical mistake is made – conflating the percentage of the metal in one substance (soil) with the typical percentages in others. As noted, soil aluminum naturally ranges from 0.07% to 10%, and is typically around 7.1%, which is 71,000 mg/kg. The tests from Oregon (see sheet 16 in the pdf) list quite ordinary results for soil of 18,600 to 38,000. But then they note the results are “Tens of thousands of times the maximun limit for water“, which is true, but they are not testing water, they are testing soil, and it less than half the normal value for soil.

They continue this on the next page, with a low soil aluminum value of 10,500 mg/kg (just 1% aluminum), and yet note: “Near playground Sisson Elementary 300‘ away”. As if this is somehow dangerous to children. It’s just normal soil, as found in any playground, anywhere, ever.

Aluminum is everywhere, in various quantities

Aluminum is the most abundant metallic element in the earth’s crust, about 8% of the ground is aluminum.

Aluminum is everywhere, in the food we eat, and the air we breath (as dust)

Aluminum is in daily contact with us, in soda cans, cookware, aluminum cooking foil, construction, transportation, baseball bats, etc.

The amount of aluminum in any location varies naturally. In some places there is a lot, in others there is very little.

Contamination of samples with aluminum is very common due to it’s abundance and common usage. Unless careful control samples are taken, then the results are often wildly inaccurate.
One of the tests in the film was water collected by a schoolgirl in a mason jar. Mason jars often have aluminum lids
Another was taken from a ski area snow pack in early summer. Skis, ski grooming equipment, and ski towers use aluminum.
Aluminum resistent crops have been a goal for 100 years

And knowing that aluminum is very common will also answer why Monsanto would want to develop aluminum resistent crops. It will increase yields in areas of high aluminum soil content. Given the ubiquitous presence of aluminum in the ground, and the fact that aluminum levels have been a known problem for a hundred years , it’s hardly surprising that someone would try to make crops have a higher resistance to it.

Discussing ≠ Doing

Finally, what of the government discussions of geoengineering, and their denials that anything is going on? Exactly. What of it? They discuss geoengineering because it’s something that people might actually want to do in the future, so we’d better talk about it now, so we can figure out what problems might occur. The concerns about health effects and effects on the environment are perfectly valid concerns, but they are not evidence that a spraying program is currently underway.

And the most reasonable explanation for why they deny they are doing it because they are not actually doing it. The congressmen interviewed in the film claim they they are not familiar with it because they are not familiar with it. They don’t want to talk about it because they don’t know anything about it. There’s nothing sinister going on there. The congressmen are simply not familiar with this one particular theoretical geoengineering method (or probably any theoretical geoengineering method), so when they are buttonholed by someone who rather intensely asks them if they approve of it, then it’s quite understandable they don’t want to talk to him.

The film presents the conferences on geoengineering as if they are somehow secret and clandestine operations that need to be revealed to the public. In reality geoengineering of this type has been discussed for at least sixty years. It’s hardly covered up, as the discussion has been constantly in the news, often front page news, since 2006, and has been making occasional mainstream news stories since the 1980s, with thousands of publicly accessible research papers over the last sixty years. Nobody was doing it sixty years ago, nobody was doing it in 2006, and as far as anyone can tell, nobody is doing it now. Denials are not admissions, and discussing something is not the same as doing it.

Contrails...

The International Space Station crew sees them all the time, except when airplanes are not flying, as happened in the days after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. Here is the report from www.space.com from September 14th, 2001:

"Three days after suicide airplane hijackers toppled the World Trade Center in New York and slammed into the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., the station crew noted an obvious absence of airborne jetliners from their perch 240 miles (384 kilometers) above Earth. 'I’ll tell you one thing that’s really strange: Normally when we go over the U.S., the sky is like a spider web of contrails,' U.S. astronaut and outpost commander Frank Culbertson told flight controllers at NASA’s Mission Control Center in Houston. 'And now the sky is just about completely empty. There are no contrails in the sky,' he added. 'It’s very, very weird.' 'I hadn’t thought of that perspective,' fellow astronaut Cady Coleman replied."

If there is a giant conspiracy to spray chemicals from the sky, chances are good that Professor John Day is not a part of it. The author of six books on meteorology, Day is a world-renowned expert on clouds, a professor emeritus at Linfield College and a regular contributor to the McMinnville News-Register, ... When he hears the word 'chemtrail,' however, Day's frosty mustache droops, and his sky-blue eyes darken. 'I don't happen to warm up to that phenomenon,' he sighs. Despite his reluctance to be drawn into the controversy, Day graciously agreed to examine photographs of chemtrails to see if he spotted anything unusual. 'This is a perfectly normal situation with cirrocumulus cloud and a single spreading contrail,' he declared after inspecting one photo for a full minute. Then he flipped to the next. 'Nothing weird about that. Cirrostratus cloud...' And the next. 'The criss-cross pattern is a consequence of planes flying criss-cross patterns....' And the next. 'I've seen many situations like this one....' Contrail formation, Day explained, depends on the relative humidity of the atmosphere-- he ratio of what is to what could be at a particular temperature. When relative humidity is low, contrails dissipate within seconds. But when relative humidity is high, especially at the subzero temperatures of the upper atmosphere, the addition of even a tiny amount of water vapor acts as a catalyst. Under these conditions, contrails may linger and spread to cover the whole sky. ...At length, Day extracted from his bookshelf a well-thumbed edition of Peterson's Field Guide to Clouds and Weather, which he co-authored in 1991 (a good 10 years before chemtrails became widely discussed), turned to the section on contrails, and pointed to a photograph of a thick, white plume--a plume that looked for all the world like a chemtrail...

Contrails can dissipate immediately or persist for a long time depending on atmospheric conditions.

Just like some days the fog dissipates as soon as it rises off of the lake, and some days it hangs there thickly for most of the day. Use some common sense.


lol @ chemtrail conspiracies.

 

[BrainSellz]

years ago i read something about those chemtrails on this site..http://educate-yourself.org/...dunno what its all about however it was interesting to say the least


disclaimer:dunno how much "water" that site holds so dont hold me too any misinfo that might be in there
