Big Bunny asks in this thread on the recent
Portland Chemtrail Forum,
"Out of curiosity how does Ms Peterson define "cirrus aviaticus" or is that a figment of our imagination?"
This got me to go to the search engines to see if I could find anything. I found the following link.
CHEMTRAILS:
MOST OF THE MYSTERY SOLVEDby Dr Chris Barnes Ph.D. Director of Atmospheric Research
(excerpts)
Usually contrails dissipate quickly with a matter of seconds but occasionally they persist as pencil thin lines of vapour /ice for periods of 10 seconds to an absolute maximum of 2 hours before sun up or after sun down. The sun’s radiative heat getting to work on a contrail helps it to dissipate by melting the ice and evaporating the water. Atmospheric Physics tells us that reducing the height of an aeroplane should cut the incidence of persistent contrails to zero. A contrail from a jet aircraft is easily identified as there is always a small gap between the hot engine and the point where vapour can first be seen rather like steam coming from a boiling kettle....
(Me: If there is no small gap between the engine and the the visible start of a contrail, does this mean it is a chemtrail? I have thought on occasion that this could be an important point.)
The essential conditions for contrail formation are:
1. Hot jet exhaust
2. Ambient air close to saturation with water
3. Altitude sufficient to provide temperature for condensation to
freeze, typically below -38C.(1)
Contrails persist under very rare Atmospheric conditions and if there are large numbers of CCN’S (Cloud Condensation Nuclei) either already in the air due to pollution or in and over rich aircraft exhaust plume. For persistence the air needs to be very cold and supersaturated with water vapour. The turbulent motion of the aircraft itself or static electricity carried on its wings or across its vapour trail can be sufficient to trigger the persistence process....
Contrail Persistence
If a contrail is formed in air of low humidity, the ice crystals will rapidly evaporate, but if the air is saturated enough, the crystals will persist for some time. When winds aloft are calm enough, the contrail will keep its shape, if the wind is strong enough, it will spread out and possibly form a cirrus type cloud....
World met offices and NASA calculate that persistent contrails could have a contributory effect towards global warming. No comment appears to have been made on smog which reduces ground visibility. Perhaps due to inhalation of particulates, there is a correlation between mortality rates and ground visibility. Met offices tell us that there is more high cloud because of increased air traffic but perhaps other factors are leading to increased water vapour in the upper atmosphere, one hypothesis is that ozone decomposition by hydrogen can do this. Changes in aircraft fuel particularly to JP8 and JP8 100 with its dispersant molecules may be having effects by boosting particulate emission. Changes to Earth’s ionosphere or magnetosphere may also be happening (either natural or person- made) which could yield more prevalence for persistent and spreading contrailformation....
What is a chemtrail?
Chemtrails ‘largest puzzles of modern times’ are responsible for gross changes to our Atmosphere and Climate and the appearance of ‘cloned’ World-wide Sky-scapes.
The author only came across Chemtrails accidentally in 2003 while researching what he thought to be an experimental Radio Transmitter called HAARP.
Like SOME have followed the same path before him, at first he INITIALLY SCOFFED in disbelief at their existence,THEN WAS CONVINCED they, existed AS SOME GREAT CONSPIRACY OF THE MODERN WORLD yet now having solved the mystery believes they only exist in a few minor specific guises WHEREAS HE REMAINS CONVINCED THE MAJORITY ARE MERELY manifestations of PERSISTENT SPREADING CONTRAILS WHICH through quirks of chemistry and physics ACCIDENTALLY but unfortunately DOMINATE OUR SKIES AND WEATHER .
Perhaps far fewer people than expected are aware of these gross changes to our atmosphere because of simple psychology. Generally speaking if the sky looks bluish or grey, unless holiday making, we are not usually concerned with the detail. Also some of the other climatic effects that seem to be coincidentally related to the appearance of chemtrails are simply blamed by the media on global warming and indeed there could be an intimate relation (of chicken and egg nature) between the two.
A spreading contrail as distinct from a normal contrail is likely to be any broader emission from a high altitude aircraft 8-60,000 feet which results in a broad white, often asymmetric, cloud like persistence (on deposition it has immediately an average 5 -10 times the perceived width of a normal contrail) lasting more than a few tens of minutes and up to 24 hours. The tell tale clear gap between the engine and the first visible appearance of vapour in the air may also be absent or not as noticeable in the case of aircraft in the process of depositing spreading contrails, this is because it will be running NOX rich, and or on JP8 /100 fuel....
(Me: This sounds like Thermit's take on chemtrails, that most of what people see are persistent contrails, yet that some of what we see are indeed chemtrails.)
So profound have been the changes brought about to our atmosphere since some bright spark decided to noise reduce most of the Worlds’ Major aircraft fleets and introduce AMDAR and AVOSS, JP8 and jp8/100 that met offices have named the cloud artefacts formed by spreading contrails Cirrus Aviaticus and there are several Different Cirrus aviaticus types and prefixes, e.g. A2C3. Incidentally JP8 was first used in the 1st Gulf War and US Military Scientists are concerned about it being a possible contributory factor in Gulf War Syndrome.....
HISTORY
It is easy to see how the Chemtrails scare came about,
Because to the lay person without proper explanation from any or many of the ‘so called experts’ , spreading contrails are indeed a relatively new phenomenons in our Atmosphere and are without doubt for some one of the most perplexing puzzles of modern time.
As explained above they are due in part to some interesting chemistry and due to a natural phenomena associated with changes in the Sun or Earth’s Ionosphere or even with Gamma Ray bursts from outside our Galaxy allowing unusual electrical and particle interactions with contrails from these new type aircraft engines on just certain days and at certain times, however there still remains the possibility at least some of are of deliberate person –made origin. Weather control is big business in some countries.
Chemtrails and spreading persistent Contrails were first noticed in the skies of the USA in 1993, more extensively since 1997 when JP8 was put in common use . Similarly they were first noticed in the skies of the UK in 2001 and are now commonplace particularly in the summer months. This coincides with JP8 use in all air fleets and JP8 /100 IN A FEW OTHERS. It is also possible that there is a certain threshold density for normal persistent contrails, allied to the amount of air traffic, particularly with AMDAR requirements, water vapour, particulates and upper atmosphere electric field; above which values natural spreading or cross-linking occurs. If this is the case it is difficult to see why air traffic controllers don’t take account of this and vary air routes more often. On some days contrails appear to be purposely laid down in patterns, grids, wavers , letters A’s, X’s, Y’s, and circles, these can be explained by AMDAR and AVOSS special operations (SOPS) and perhaps yes additional scientific or military experimentation REALLY is taking place !.....
(ME: Heh, so they were first witnessed in 1993, a year or two after the USAF offered classes on "chemtrails", the word they coined, not "chemmies". I think "they" are most afraid when the logical approach to solving chemtrails is in operation. It is so much easier for them if this remains a crazy tinfoil topic.)
Effects ascribed to Pseudo Cirrus (however generated) can be
1. Lowering of summer daytime temperatures. Lowering of summer u/v and daylight levels. This sounds suspiciously like the recently described phenomenon of GLOBAL DIMMING.
2. Raising of Summer night-time temperatures.
3. Raising of Winter temperatures.
......
(ME: As to #1, this may explain why folks would want to debunk global dimming. Some Frankenscientists have been trying to promote "good pollution". Yet, they have taken a public relations beatdown. If clandestine chemtrail programs are unable to make the jump to legal and social legitimation, they may not want people to be aware that aircraft emissions are dimming the skies. Personally I have witnessed all three of the points made above.)
LIKELY CHEMICAL COMPONENTS OF CHEMTRAILS and anecdotal evidence.
1. Unburned aircraft fuel , could account for oily appearance of some but not all Of Sundogs or observed Chemical Bows. Oily brown fall outs have been found on cars. These days there is often an oily brown ring round the moon.
This appears to be an extreme version of photochemical smog. Unburned aircraft fuel, is a serious respiratory irritant.
Also found in normal contrails. JP8 TYPES contain Organophosphates.
2. Sulphur /Sulphates/ Carbon
3.
These particulates can cause ordinary contrails to persist by acting as CCNS. Insoluble sulphates could account for white fall out observed on cars and windows. Sulphates of many metals are poisonous.
Also found in normal contrails.
4. NOX and Ionising or ionisable compounds
Ionising compounds like ozone or Chlorine could account for Salmon and Teal coloured clouds if Oxygen and Nitrogen ionise. An aircraft with high voltages across its wings or a high Power radio source could also cause such effects. A smell like Ozone or Chlorine was noted in the local air the nights the very fast plane was observed. But the passage of any aircraft weakly ionises air due to static charges involved. High NOX gives ground level ozone if it sinks form an inversion layer.
Ionisable compounds like sodium, potassium and barium salts could also account for colour spectrum of some of these high clouds.
Natural u/v processes could also account for Photo-ionisation but one cannot explain why these colours were not noted before the advent of chemtrails.
5. Hygroscopic (water absorbing) compounds and gels. These would be used in cloud busting trails. Evidence for these is stronger than most, possibly borne out by the fact that many people appear to be suffering from new types of Respiratory distress involving coughing up unnatural Clear Jelly like material (much thicker and stickier than normal mucous). This could also be a reaction to inhaled poisons or allergens, connected with Chemtrails or otherwise.
What is known in any event, UK ENT admissions to UK Hospitals and asthma are up, up to 10 fold, in some locations, as is Sinusitis. Chronic airways disease is now also affecting lower regions of the lungs indicating a denser obstructive agent.
6. Alkaline Compounds
Many acid loving plants such as Scots pine trees appear to have scorched foliage and /or are dying.
7. Unknown Polymeric Compounds; possibly electro-active, opto-active or both borne out to some extent in the observation two tone cloud colours, and reported falls of Angle Hair and the emergence of New Skin Diseases involving micro and nano-fibres..... (Me: Morgellons?
)
OTHER OBSERVATIONS ON CHEMTRAILS
1. M.W. Radio frequency propagation studies
The author has noted that on certain days when numbers of spreading chemtrails are very prolific I.e. UK Nationwide, there appears to be hitherto unexplained and enhanced propagation of medium and long wave radio signals. It is interesting to note that this occurred over a period in March/April 2005 when a big military exercise was taking place in SW Britain.
A possible explanation for this is that the network of chemtrails is providing an artificial reflector, duct, antenna or any combination of the three.
Another more natural explanation could of course be Solar Effects or Gamma Ray Bursts affecting NAT formation and the ionosphere and indirectly the upper atmosphere via the Global Electric Circuit. Geomagnetic data should be checked on these occurrences.
Some sites tell us HAARP is believed to also be able to cause such effects, viz a viz ionosphere mirror or shifting heights of reflecting layers.
2. VHF Propagation studies
Generally the presence of chemtrails seems to increase the attenuation of the atmosphere at a radio frequencies in the region of 70 -150 MHZ.
The above observations are consistent with chemtrails containing either an electrically conducting or a dielectrically absorbing material.
Of course so is impure water!
3. Satellite observations
Chemtrails and chemtrail material is highly visible on satellite images suggesting it is optically opaque at least under some conditions. They have denser ice crystals than normal cirrus. Sometimes chemtrail material is spread in almost equidistant tracks across almost the entire country. Meteorologists continue to deny its existence and describe the satellite images as due to Mountain KH Waves. Gravity waves from wake vortices may mix with KH under some conditions.
POSSIBLE USES OF CHEMTRAILS OTHER THAN THOSE INNOCENTLTY ARISING FROM AVIATION
Based purely on Scientific and Empirical observation, it is possible to speculate with reasonable certainty about some of the possible purposes of Chemtrails. In no particular order of certainty, these are:
1. Weather Modification and/or Climatic Research /e.g. following speed and direction of Jet Streams since chemtrails can be viewed from space using satellite, addition of opaque compounds like metals may enhance this?.
2. U/V Radiation Solar Shield.
3. Military radar and communications systems.
4. Aircraft speed enhancement system.
5. Other Aviation systems Research
Based on other scientific data and Public Domain Information readily available on the Internet it is possible to add other rarer and more exotic items to the list;
6. Experiments with free energy and magneto –hydrodynamics.
7. Experiments with electro-gravimetrics , and anti-gravity, liquid N2 coolant
8. Sensor for ‘weather wars’ ENMOD type technology and as in (1) above.
9. Enhancement for HAARP technology Star Wars type early warning detection defence and/or attack Weapons system....
EARTHQUAKE /TAOS HUM /LAARG HUM / BUZZING ETC.
Some sites tell us HAARP can generate VLF AND ULF. There is anecdotal evidence in that ‘Earth buzzing’ or vibration albeit it VLF, scalar wave or torsion wave is heard by some adults at certain times of the lunar cycle. Possibly the moon further off balances the process. The sound is best described as a like a giant wasp trapped in a bottle hearing mechanism is not via the external ear but thought to be either by piezoelectric effect of calcium deposit in the pineal gland or maybe by inhaled electro-active chemtrail material finding its way into the estuation tubes. For those that hear the buzzing it seems to be a predictor of certain but not all Earthquakes...
WHY ALL THE SECRECY?
Secrecy has naturally surrounded military projects since time immemorial.
Oddly there is so much information and disinformation in the public domain that secrecy of any underlying technologies is probably not an issue.
When all is said and done these technologies often rely on patents readily accessible and in the public domain. The mystery is just teasing out the relevant ones, the wheat from the chaff as it were.
The problem occurs however if shrouds of secrecy are used even when relatively innocent projects go wrong and become a danger to public health.
There is a mounting body of evidence that a few chemtrails are starting to fall into this category and that they or something allied to them may be damaging the health of people, planet and environment.
We should all therefore call through proper Legal and Democratic channels for much more transparency on this issue.
INCREASE THE NATIONS’ AWARENESS ON THIS PHENOMENA (end of excerpts)
(Me:) While in the past I have also seen a lessening of chemtrail activity only to see them emerge again, I have seen next to no activity of late in Massachusetts. Perhaps too much information has filtered out. Perhaps people worldwide are less afraid to speak truth to power. Perhaps the medical professions are starting to put two and two together as regards to asthma, morgellons?, nose bleeds, and other health concerns.
Plus, I think the major news this year has been the utter failure of certain geoengineers to market their pollution schemes. Perhaps they were thinking that global dimming would be seen as a good thing, that sulfur and soot are needed to block out harmful uv/rays and/or cool the planet. I will make no predictions of where all this is headed. Yet, I do think that the social and legal implications cannot possibly be overcome by the frankenscientists. To me they are in limbo. To keep pressing forward with their antics will only prod real scientists to investigate more closely why there is so much cirrus aviaticus. For now, the global dimming story is giving them some cover from the clandestine operations being exposed. Yet, if they keep pushing the envelope, the nightmarish nature of the skies will have to be addressed and corrected. If they keep pushing the envelope, perhaps scrutiny will finally be targeted on the skies. If this global dimming machinery continues to pepper skies at will, "they" will be merely be shouting to the whole world's population, hey no worries, those are normal contrails, just ask Jay Reynolds.
After looking into chemtrails, I may not have all the concrete answers one would expect or desire, but I do believe that the social and legal obstacles are blocking all their schemes from coming to fruition. They tried to market their pollution, and they have failed miserably. Hopefully, they realise that they can go no further, and that they are in jeopardy of being totally exposed, and that they just stop!
