Contrails, Chemtrails and Artificial Clouds

A Situation Report
The mystery and impact of jet aircraft on our weather, skies, and health

Dave Dahl

As shown in the satellite photos in this report, much of the cloud cover around the Earth is created by jet aircraft traveling in the stratosphere. Dubbed "chemtrails" by spectators, millions of people in many countries have voiced concern and questions.

  • What are jet contrails and artificial clouds made of?
  • Why can you see them some days and not others?
  • Do artificial clouds from jets cause global warming?
  • What's really going on? Should we be worried?
  • What could we do about it if we were?

Some of the answers in this report may surprise you.

This is a nonprofit book. Any profit from sales will be used for contrail research.

This report was sent to every U.S. Senator and several hundred congressional representatives. It goes into more detail about the confusion, the optical illusions, and the visual phenomenon as well as delving into the sources of energy, inside the airline industry, up in NASA's CloudSat, and into the future.

WHO'S WATCHING THE SKY?

How is it that some people don't notice artificial clouds? How can you not notice?

When people do see them, their reaction is usually dissonance or acceptance. People either don't get or don't believe that there is a huge problem, or pretty quickly remind themselves that they are powerless and that this is way beyond their reach. It is. It's an artificial mystery.

So few people watch the sky that most people are completely unaware that, on some days, all the clouds are from jets.

I spoke with several NASA scientists who deal with cloud-aerosol interaction, who agree that humans make clouds and so forth, but of course do not know anything regarding large-scale cloud-making operations, and if they did would not be allowed to discuss it.

I've found that even airline pilots seem oblivious. Maybe they're just so used to it? A conspiracy theorist might say that they are trained to give specific answers or that they are kept in the dark about their fuel contents. In any case, I have asked several commericial plane pilots (I have observed persistent contrails from commercial aircraft more than military ones) and they acknowedge that jets create a lot of clouds... but did not always agree that cloud cover I recognized as artificial was made by jets.

Same with meteorologists. How can they not be watching? Simple: they don't spend any time looking at the sky. Most meteorologists look at computers all day. Once I called the local TV weatherman, who is also a meteorologist. He did not believe that all the cloud cover that day was from jets, though several of us watched it formed from contrails over a period of a few hours, turning the blue sky 80 or 90 percent gray as far as we could see, with NO natural clouds in sight.

Unfortunately, a response from someone--even an expert-- who does not see what we are talking about is not very credible. What they "know" about their respective areas of expertise seems questionable when you can see that they haven't been paying attention.

EVIDENCE VERSUS PROOF

Adding to the problem is that many people are presenting evidence as "proof" of a conspiracy while apparently not recognizing the difference. As an example, a photo of a plane fuselage interior with chemtrail spray gear is circulating. But, assuming the photo is real, the so what is still weak. What exactly is it evidence of? How many aircraft have that equipment? What's it for-- is that a crop sprayer? Is it a stratospheric plane?

We have our observations, photos and desire for the truth, but so far no one has hard evidence of large-scale covert operations of any kind. And most of the related conspiracy theories fall apart easily, especially those that include nefarious intent.

But when we see jets on some days appearing to just dump some kind of stuff high above the natural clouds, we feel we can see that something is wrong. We know contrails are different now from ten years ago. Our speculations about why, so far, include:

  1. The jet technology is different: faster engines, greater speeds, higher altitudes, and vastly more aircraft on more trajectories
  2. The atmosphere is different, possibly warmer at the stratospheric levels and/or chemically different
  3. Our aircraft deliberately make artificial clouds at the stratospheric level.

If our aircraft are deliberately creating sky cover at the stratospheric level, there are these possibilities:

  1. Fuel is being altered (e.g., aerosols like barium, aluminum, sulfur or silver iodide mixed with the jet fuel) by mixing chemicals with fuel supply or adding to the fuel at the aircraft, OR
  2. Substances are being added to the contrail via spray or dumping, outside of the fuel source

If we ARE deliberately making artificial clouds, what are the possible reasons? While there are a number of conspiracy theories--including very crazy-sounding ones-- the top theory seems to be that we are trying to cooling the earth to counter global warming. Other theories seem less credible, like the connection to the US Government's HAARP (High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program), allegedly for military applications like communications and/or mind control, or the idea that chemical clouds are intended to sicken or kill people, possibly to reduce global population. There are even stranger theories, like spiritual suppression, hiding UFOs, and hiding Planet X.

POSSIBLITIES

We know that our government tests every possible kind of aircraft, fuel and weather modification solution. It's part of their job. But when it comes to large-scale secret operations, specific evidence is weak. Looking at the big picture, though, there are some potentially scary coincidences.

Legislation is in place providing for "weather modification;" the patents and technology infrastructure are in place (see below); governments have seized control of the airports; we have recently launched numerous satellites specifically designed to study clouds; and our governments have a history of lying, experimenting on the people, and covering up events simply by classifying them as secret. Then there are those documents (see below) about "owning the weather" and scientists recommending how to cool the earth by adding aerosols to contrails.

As evidence stands today, we must also consider the possibility of deliberate cloud creation by aircraft in the stratosphere on a massive scale. If you think this is impossible, remember how "impossible" some things can seem that are true. Long ago, skeptics were certain that the Earth couldn't be round.

Being skeptical is advisable; but dismissing such a serious issue without all the facts is equally unscientific.

Don't kid yourself about this part: our government does have the technology, funding and authority to conduct stratospheric cloud testing and to keep it classified from the public. (I was in the Navy and had secret clearance, so I know that if you divulge classified information, you go to Leavenworth prison. If something is called "classified," everyone knows what that means. That's how secrets are kept.)

The main point here is that if large-scale weather modification efforts exist, any kind of chemicals used for that purpose could have unpredictable and potentially disastrous effects on our health and on our world.

THE BIG PICTURE

Many of us have spent time looking at the sources of the "global dimming" assistance provided by jets, but it's clear that no single one of us can tackle it.

Drops of us will need to come together, to join resources and form a wave demanding answers and action.

Why should we bother with this? Aside from the sky trash--the visible artificial clouds jets create--with hundreds of billions of gallons of toxic jet fuel being burned into greenhouse gases and waste dropping into our breathing air, finding jet fuel alternatives should be of the utmost importance to our leaders. Much cleaner alternatives exist; motivation does not.

Regardless of whether you believe the conspiracy theories, if you have been observing "chemtrails," if you have noticed how the sky has changed, and how drastrically jets can alter the weather, you would probably agree that more people should be aware of this. This book and the website are my effort to bring this awareness to the public in hopes that we can create enough pressure in one place that it is addressed by the U.S. government (and therefore by other participating governments) as more than just part of the air pollution problem. It is the worst part.

Small protests have been easily ignored so far. An event must be bigger and more focused to produce the pressure required.

I sincerely believe that whether the artificial clouds we are witnessing are deliberate or inadvertent, they are a big problem--possibly our biggest-- and we need to pay attention to it now, not later. If you don't see that yet, you're not understanding the magnitude of the effects of our aircraft, and the amount of toxic waste going into our breathing space.

If chemtrails are deliberate attempts to cover more sky area or modify the weather, the public has a right to know about it, and the U.S. government covering up such a project would be an unthinkable crime against the people. Public health could be in grave jeapardy from spraying chemicals and metals like barium and aluminum oxides-- this should not be done over a population, which is unavoidable if chemicals are being introduced into the stratosphere.

If chemtrails are the "natural" result of larger, faster, higher-flying jets, it is almost equally alarming; if we can affect the weather this drastically accidentally, we could be covering up the effects of climate change, possibly inadvertently cooling our planet temporarily while causing accelerated warming.

Either way, our jets are having a profound impact on our weather and skies, and on our health.
