> 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. Thats 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 Xs 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.
>
> Theres 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.

>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

>"[April 30] Our television station Channel 10, located here in Miami,
picked

aluminum
