I would also like to start a topic on chemtrails as I have been researching the topic for some time, and I have an opinion with some evidence to support it. Before gong into it, what are your strongest points against or for it. I will join you later, once you have come up with your ideas.

There are no points, strong or otherwise, for it. All there is is people completely ignorant of meteorology hearing about chemtrials for the first time and for once in their small pathetic lives finally look up in the sky and completely misinterpret what they see.

The strongest point against chemtrails is that there is no evidence to support the contention that they exist. No matter what you think you have uncovered, the odds that you have anything constituting proof of chemtrails is a long shot.   You are certainly free to discuss what you believe, but if you do, expect a skeptical audience to make a critical appraisal of your presentation.

Things I have learned from the ridiculously stupid mistakes the chemtrail conspiracy theorists have made:

Micrograms/L is equal to parts per billion, not parts per million.
Aluminum makes up 8% of the Earth's crust.
Squirting vinegar out of a squirt bottle in your backyard to make chemtrails disappear shows the extent science education in the US has failed.

My strongest point against them is that there is no difference between chemtrails and contrails, and contrails have been around almost as long as the airplane.

The number of people who really believe that contrails are something new, that didn't exist before, say, the 1980s, is astonishing.
Title: Re: Chemtrails. The reality.
Post by: ka9q on June 17, 2012, 12:35:36 AM
Not sure I understand this. Alumin(i)um, chemically combined, actually is about 8% of the earth's crust, but "micrograms/L" (microgram/liter) is not a dimensionless ratio like ppm or ppb. A gram is a unit of mass while a liter is a unit of volume now equal to 0.001 m3. (It used to be defined as the volume of 1 kg of water at 4C and standard pressure, which is almost exactly but not quite the same.)

Sea level air has a density of roughly 1 g/L or 1 kg/m3 (actually 1.2) while liquid water is about 1 kg/L or 1000 kg/m3, almost 1000 times as dense. So I suppose micrograms/L is equivalent to parts per billion when talking about water, and it is roughly equivalent to parts per million when talking about sea level air. That uses the American (not old British) definition of billion, i.e., 109 or giga.

Was it Churchill who said that Americans and the British are two peoples separated by a common language? A few English words do get us in trouble when we don't realize they mean different things on opposite sides of the Atlantic, the classic example being the verb table. (Never mind, Chew, I see you're another Yank -- in both the US and non-US meanings of the word.)

It is kinda funny how allknowing you are. :) I will try to show you some videos. All you need is to watch them, and I will try to show you some interesting coincidences.
here is video 1.



Notice how some trails are dissipating while others are lingering for long period of time. Many people argue that it is because of condensation in cold air that could happen at high altitudes about 10km or so. Yet we will see many videos where the air traffic is above big cities, and leaving these huge lasting chemtrails. Airplanes are not flying above cities at 10km , they are approaching  or leaving airports , thus being much lower than 10km, which would exclude condensation trails. This video was shot over Barcelona. I will go into some interesting details about chemtrails a bit later.

Well, I just spent a few minutes of my life looking at pretty contrails in the sky.   ???

EDIT:  As for "all-knowing", that is because there is a scientific cause for contrails that's well-understood.  It's much like you were claiming we were "all-knowing" because we said Venus often can be seen in the sky and mistaken for a star.

Post by: Jason Thompson on June 17, 2012, 04:02:07 AM
Wow, four minutes of contrails. Exciting stuff.

Come on, even in the opening still picture you can see that the contrails lead directly from the engines, exactly where they are supposed to be coming from.

Do you have anything that says these are any more than the expected trails of ice and water vapour caused by combustion of jet fuel at high altitude?

Jason , the trails are seemingly coming from engines, they are  actually coming from hollowed static  wicks originally manufactured for static eletricity dispersion/accumulation. They use the wicks that are positioned right above the engines on wings. This is just the beginning.

The lingering is the suspect. The mismatch with transponders on flightradar24.com is a suspect. Heavy traffic on desolated areas that matches not the day/week  schedules but overcast/clear sky `schedules.` people reporting of increased Aluminium, barium, strontium levels in their blood is a suspect. Previous operations of spraying in Vietnam( operation Popeye) and over great Britain in 60ies, that now is declassified is a suspect. Exclusive chemtrail lingering over the area of the sun is a suspect. Chemtrail spraying in the way that it is always in the direction that chemtrails travel over the sun, not vice virsa is a suspect. Exclusive spraying over my small town that  has never been experienced here is suspect, considering the contraisl have never been lingering  when I was younger. And I spent a loooot of time observing airplanes. geoengineering patents  is a suspect, Monsanto patenting Al resistant seeds is suspect, etc.
Jason, I have a question to you-

If it were a chemical being dispensed then it would be visible immediately after leaving the dispenser, like you'd see with a cropduster. Instead what you see is a delay as the exhaust cools.

There is nothing suspect about that. The amount of time a contrail will linger for is entirely dependent on the atmospheric conditions, and most of them are above the cloud layer anyway, so of course they won't appear on cloudy overcast days.

Jason, I have a question to you-

It probably wouldn't. Which means the onus is on you to prove that those are chemtrails and not contrails. Just going 'look there's a trail' is not sufficient when we expect trails to form anyway.

Now I have a question for you: if you wanted to adminster some chemical to the population for whatever purpose, would dispersing it at 30,000 feet really be the best way you could think of to do it? Rather than, say, pumping it out of cars at ground level? Or adding it to the water supply that is pumped into every home and used daily? The suggestion faisl for simply being absurd.

Here are some people talking about blood tests. The suspect is not the chemical elements in their blood, or the superbly increased amount of it. The suspect is the combination of these 3 elements. I will later post videos from people reporting exactly these 3 elements in their blood tests from other parts of the world. And Jason are you really that naive to believe that a chemical being dispersed at high altitude, implying cruise speeds of 800-870 km/h would show a trail right exactly one meter behind the airplane? Are you that weak in simple physics?

Because they're produced at different altitudes where the atmospheric pressure, density and water content differ greatly. So what?
Quote

Say what? I don't know where you live or what air travel is like there, but here in the USA, not every airplane lands at every city it encounters. We actually have flights that take off on one coast and don't land until they reach the other coast, often well over 4,000 km away. That means they have to fly over what's between, which they usually do at high altitudes to stay away from the traffic that is local to those areas.

If you're really concerned about toxic materials artificially introduced into the atmosphere, and everyone probably should be, you're barking up the wrong tree.

Try looking at what automobiles, trucks and coal-fired power plants spew into the air. We've gotten a lot better at scrubbing much of the really nasty stuff like smoke, ash, unburned hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide. But you can't remove it all -- and people like their cars and electric appliances too much to just give them all up.

Sure, airplanes also burn petroleum, so they also have emissions. And we're running out of petroleum, so we need to find something else.

But with all the emissions very well known to enter our atmosphere from our imperfect energy technologies, as demanded by our desire for a high standard of living, the notion that this nasty stuff is being secretly and deliberately released into the air by commercial airplanes is just too weird to take seriously.

No. In fact it is the physics of the situation that makes it so utterly absurd. You are proposing that a chemical is sprayed out that forms a lingering trail in the upper atmosphere. Now as long as that trail is visible the contents of it are still in the upper atmosphere. Since air currents vary greatly with altitude, the dispersion and movement of the contents of that trail would carry it many miles from the location you see it over, and the dispersion would be so great that practically none of it would actually ever reach the ground, and what did would be so scanty you'd never notice it, let alone pick it up in blood tests.

On the other hand, if you pump it out of a car at ground level, the concentration in the local area would be of some use.

The chemtrail idea is so absurd because it requires extensive modification of expensive aircraft and VAST quantities of materials need to be sprayed just to get anything to ever reach the ground. It's like suggesting you can poison Hawaii by dumping toxins in the ocean off San Francisco. Are you so weak in basic physics that you don't get the concept of air currents and diffusion?

Have you ever actually flown on an airplane?

Well, I have. And on occasion, when the conditions are right, and I've looked rearward out a back window, I've actually seen our contrails forming behind us. They're down in the engine exhaust streams, not up behind the static dissipation electrodes.

Yes, indeed. The prime suspect of modification- septic tanks. At least dealing with civillian aircraft. You can`t demand proof, as this is not court.

No, I expect you to show us what evidence you have that has led you to the conclusion that chemicals are being sprayed into the air from aircraft. Something must have led you to that conclusion, therefore it is not unreasonable to ask what it was. If all it was was some inference then we have little to discuss.

You need to get outside more often.   I regularly see flights at cruising altitudes over Houston producing contrails and have seen them doing that since the 1960's.   I also regularly see flights approaching and leaving HOU and IAH.  I know what they are doing because I have been in planes that follow the same paths.  Anyone that watches planes at IAH can see jetliners flying at cruising altitudes over the airport.  In fact, my plan is to be on the top deck of the IAH terminal A parking garage this afternoon to kill an hour while waiting to meet a flight. 

Observe the sky more often, the time spent understanding what you are seeing will answer a number of your questions.

So they are all going the same way? So what? Of course they will follow the wind patterns. Clouds do that all the time. Is that suspect?

And since they are following the wind, and they are lingering for a very long time, they are NOT anywhere near the ground and they are a VERY long way away from where the observer is. So exactly what is the goal of this spraying?

No, it would be the actual peer-reviewed journals, NOT the popular science media like those you list. You see, REAL scientists get their information from a very extensive series of journals and literature that is not actually sold on newsstands. We go to places called 'libraries' and read up on things like 'Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences' and other such journals where actual scientific papers, not articles by journalists, are published.

Any actual scientific qualification whatsoever would make anyone more of an expert than you. In which case, we've got you beat. Sorry. Such concepts as diffusion, meteorology, physics and any number of basic scientific principles are required.

I will ask again, why are they spraying from thousands of feet up if they want to cover the ground, rather than, say, spiking the water supply or using cars at ground level?

Not sure I understand this. Alumin(i)um, chemically combined, actually is about 8% of the earth's crust, but "micrograms/L" (microgram/liter) is not a dimensionless ratio like ppm or ppb. A gram is a unit of mass while a liter is a unit of volume now equal to 0.001 m3. (It used to be defined as the volume of 1 kg of water at 4C and standard pressure, which is almost exactly but not quite the same.)

Sea level air has a density of roughly 1 g/L or 1 kg/m3 (actually 1.2) while liquid water is about 1 kg/L or 1000 kg/m3, almost 1000 times as dense. So I suppose micrograms/L is equivalent to parts per billion when talking about water,

It was referring to a news segment from KSLA. We can thank this reporter and his lack of fact-checking for the barium nonsense. KSLA added a correction with the proper concentration to their original report but the conspiracy websites never mention that. You can still find websites citing the "6.8 ppm" error.

Jason, they are legitimately hidng under  geoengineering. Isn`t it interesting, geoengineering is real, but chemtrails aren`t? Isn`t that funny.They spray under pretense of fighting global warming and probably solar radiation, as barium absorbs radiation. But it must be a huge money laundering scheme as well.

Chew, your arrogance amazes me. I didn`t say the wind blows towards the sun. The viewer is from a standpoint of a town or inhabited area. The airplanes spray in a way that the shadow( fuzzy chem- mist) would cast towards that town or area. That is why they fly in  a pattern that no material goes to waste. When they spray, eventually the wind will carry it `over the sun` so that the projected shadow would cast on the town. The target of protection is the populated area, the adversary is the sun.

Yeah, you did. Either you worded it very poorly or you realized how stupid the claim makes you look and are now trying damage control.

The viewer is from a standpoint of a town or inhabited area. The airplanes spray in a way that the shadow( fuzzy chem- mist) would cast towards that town or area.

If that were true then the airliners would be flying zigzag patterns as they try to cover the previous town and the next town. The UK is very densely populated with towns and cities all over the place. One straight path wouldn't cover them all.

That is why they fly in  a pattern that no material goes to waste. When they spray, eventually the wind will carry it `over the sun` so that the projected shadow would cast on the town.

And reduce solar insolation by 0.03%? That's what recent studies say is the effectiveness of airliner contrails on solar insolation.

Let's see your plot of air traffic patterns and wind patterns for the area for this day in question. If the pattern overlap to prove chemtrails are dispersed to drift over all towns and cities then you'll have supporting evidence. If the airliners follow wind patterns to maximize fuel efficiency then you've done nothing but demonstrated your own congruence bias.

Jason, they are legitimately hidng under  geoengineering.

At the cost of it actually working?

Actually, I have a question.  Who is "they"?  Since contrails are a known phenomenon going back to at least the 1940s, and since they are seen all over the world, has the "chemtrail" thing been going on that long, or are they using a basic principle of science to cover up their hugely inefficient spraying?  Why don't they do crop dusting from that altitude, while they're at it?

Okay, that's a series of questions, and I have a bunch more in the "basic logic" category.  Not, for reasons based on past experience, that I think they're going to get answered or even make our new friend think a little.

No, it's sense. The spraying of things in the upper atmosphere in geoengineering requires that those things stay in the upper atmosphere to work. you are talking about something reaching the ground. I will say again, how do you control something tens of thousands of feet up in terms of its reaching the ground?

The 90s? I've been watching contrails cross the sky since the 80s. I would no doubt have noticed them earlier except for the small detail that I wasn't born any earlier. I've been noticing aircraft trails in the sky since I was old enough to look up and go 'what's that mummy?' People have been seeing contrails since the days of powered flight. It was often reported as a problem for bombers in World War II, since it produced a nice neat trail for the enemy aircraft to follow.

Now since we have already established that contrails are normal, and you seem to think we wouldn't be able to tell a chemtrail from a contrail, we come back once again to your astounding lack of evidence that chemtrails even exist. Inferences are not evidence.

Do you realize that contrails dissipate, but chemtrails persist, here is a chart of how contrails of airplanes should dissipate and in what period of time-
In the tables presented, d is the dimension of the ice crystal along
one side of the cube, T is the temperature of the ambient air where
the contrail forms (.e.g, 35000ft. MSL), and P is the solar radiation
in Watts/sq. m. t is the length of time that it requires for the
contrail, or ice crystal to dissipate (i.e., transform from ice to
water vapor).

d(microns) T(deg. C.) P(watts/sq. m) t(sec)

1 -50 600 1
10 -50 600 8
30 -50 600 25
50 -50 600 42
100 -50 600 83

1 -30 700 1
10 -30 700 6
30 -30 700 18
50 -30 700 33
100 -30 700 60

Odd, isn`t it?
  Chemical spraying goes back  to at least to Viet Nam era , might be even earlier, I haven`t researched the origin dates. As to why are they not spraying crops from such high altitudes- because they would miss the field and dust unnecessary areas. The area of city or town is not  a definite line, while a corn field is definite. And besides the chemtrail sprayers are hiding under geoengineering, remember? meaning they are fighting the sun. And whatever would make the particles linger longer in air, is supposedly fighting the global warming, or the `warming of the globes` as they said it in G. W. Bush parody. As there are not that many airplanes that could fly higher and carry load, the average altitude that a jet airplane reaches are the standard 10 km. Of course , it could be 12km as well, but you see the point.
Chew, why would I need to provide evidence that disproves chemtrails, if I am convinced in exactly the opposite? It is like you would ask me to provide information why is Mittens Romney a viable candidate for presidency?

Why is the mountain west of the US so neglected in this geoengineering effort? We very rarely get contrails/chemtrails. Don't we matter? There are plenty of big cities out here, but hardly ever get the trails? Why not?? The planes are still there, just little to no contrails.
Title: Re: Chemtrails. The reality.
Post by: Luke Pemberton on June 17, 2012, 06:32:07 PM
No. In fact it is the physics of the situation that makes it so utterly absurd. You are proposing that a chemical is sprayed out that forms a lingering trail in the upper atmosphere. Now as long as that trail is visible the contents of it are still in the upper atmosphere. Since air currents vary greatly with altitude, the dispersion and movement of the contents of that trail would carry it many miles from the location you see it over, and the dispersion would be so great that practically none of it would actually ever reach the ground, and what did would be so scanty you'd never notice it, let alone pick it up in blood tests.

Just caught this thread, and have been beaten to the punch.

Notice how the chemtrails have a pattern always going towards the sun, meaning the spraying is done following the wind patterns.
All I see is contrails being carried by the prevailing winds.  What does the sun have to do with it?  What do you even mean by "a pattern always going toward the sun?"  I'm not disputing your claim, because I don't even understand what it is.

Data Cable, don`t pretend that you don`t understand what I mean by `chemtrail going towards the sun. Of course, I didn`t mean literally going towards the sun. Visually in the vdeo, all the chemtrails pass the sun, meaning they don`t spray in such  awaythat the chemtrail would be already past the sun ang being blown further away. It always was sprayed on the right side of the video, while the sun was located in the left corner.
Here is a video, where you can clearly see 2 airplanes, one of them is spraying, one of thm isn`t. It will be very hard to assume that they fly at different altitudes as well. And it will be hard to convince me tha both of them are not jet airplanes.

Yes, I am. As I said, jets fly at different altitudes all the time, and the differences in atmospheric conditions can be quite marked. It only takes a small change to go from conditions where water vapour will condense and where it won't.

Which clouds are made of what size water droplets, and what size water droplets are formed in contrails? I don't see rain coming from a whole variety of clouds. Cumulus clouds, cirrus clouds, these don't produce rain. They do linger for a very long time, however. Now explain that properly.

Different altitudes, different atmospheric conditions at those altitudes, simple as that.

After all, nobody could be daft enough to think that the atmosphere was the same all the way up, right?

I'd only vaguely heard of the 'chemtrail' nonsense. Every time I hear another so-called conspiracy I wonder for some time if my leg is being pulled. Are people really that ignorant of science? Apparently so. But we can at least try.

Advancedboy, are you aware of the following facts?

1. Modern airplanes fly at a wide range of altitudes up to and beyond 40,000 feet or 12 km.

2. Up through this range of altitudes, the temperature of the earth's atmosphere drops sharply at first, reaching a minimum of about -55C.

3. Except at fairly low altitudes, atmospheric temperatures are below the freezing point of water, even in the tropics.

4. Modern aircraft burn petroleum-based fuels, mixtures of liquid hydrocarbons. When burned with air, the primary reaction products are water and carbon dioxide.

5. Sometimes, when the conditions are right, the water condenses into droplets and/or freezes to fine ice crystals visible as a white cloud. We call these contrails.

Please tell me, do you know these facts? I have learned never to assume even the most basic levels of knowledge in discussions like this.

A further thing to note:

Even if we could make the effort, it would be irrelevant. Contrails pre-date jet aircraft. Look at the Wikipedia page on contrails for a picture of B-17 Flying Fortresses producing contrails from the exhaust of their propeller engines. It doesn't matter what engine burns the fuel, water is always a combustion product and hence contrails form.

On top of the sheer irrationality of the conspiracist, the part that bothers me most about the chem-trails claims is, why would the world's airlines and their employees go along with it? I've  known half a dozen of people that work in various airline positions, including dispatch and ground crews.  Certainly the dispatcher would be aware of the systematic flight routing that advancedboy claims is used.  Certainly the ground crews would have to notice the "special vehicles" needed to load the chemicals into the planes.  Not to mention the manufacturers of the planes and whoever else might be involved.   Do all these people let themselves and their families be sprayed just because they get a paycheck?  My friend who loads baggage lives a modest but comfortable lifestyle, but it is hardly luxurious.  And have all their predecessors gone to the grave keeping the secret?


Advancedboy,
Do all these people really let themselves and their families but drugged?  For what reason do they allow this?

Maybe Jack Nicholson can`t handle the truth, but here is the superimposed pics from the video from France, judge for yourself how far these planes could be from each other.

I didn't say judge, I said show your calculation. Do you know what those two planes are? Do you know what their relative sizes are? You know that at low resolution like that a Boeing 737 and a Boeing 747 will look pretty much the same but are greatly different sizes?

No, all you've done is looked at them and decided they must be flying very close to each other because it looks like it to you.

Absolutely impossible to estimate from this photo, although it's quite likely the aircraft are much farther apart than they appear due to telescopic foreshortening.

Violation of International Flight rules, and you can't measure the separation anyway.

Have you gathered the weather reports from that location and time for thevarious atmospheric layers and identified the aircraft and flight numbers and aircraft types? No?

OK. I will.

I would guess they are at least a mile separated. Here is why.

1. The two contrails are illuminated differently. At 200 meters separation, they would be lit more or less identically.
2. The two contrails are diffusing differently. At 200 meters separation, they would be diffusing identically.
3. The contrails form at apparently different distances from the planes. At 200 meters separation, they would be the same distance behind the planes.

I did a calculation you know.

And that's assuming you have the resolution to make your picture have the aircraft take up more than a dozen pixels.

Jason, these 2 airplanes are comparable as they look very similar to 737, of course it could be a similarly sized airplane like airbus a320, but it would be comparable.   It is very unlikely A330 which would be bigger, but also longer. As to tinier  private airplanes, they don`t have this kind of engine configuration.

`Why do you 'support' any American politician if you are Latvian? What does your support have to do with anything that takes place in US politics?`-- because there are no honest politicians worth voting for and I  sincerely love America, hence my harsh criticism towards it.. Ron Paul is a global phenomenon and is recognised in every country of the world if we talk the internet milieu.Which can be proved very simply by visiting whowouldtheoworldvotefor.com, if I remeber the site correctly. And what matters is the free will what people vote , not what Limbaugh or vitriol spewing O`Reiley  offer as the truth. Besides, Ron Paul addresses external debt, and eventually would fire half of the government, meaning they would need to find real jobs, not pencil pushing. Paul would eventually reorganise education system, so that natural sciences would be prioritised, and manufacturing would be relieved of taxes to such an extent that it would start sprouting again. Just a guess. I keep living in illusions. For me what matters is art, science, and complex manufacturing. Sorry for being off topic. I will try to find more videos with time lapse, as they are more convincing.

As far as I am concerned, my job IS fascinating.  However, one of the requirements of it is some degree of anonymity.  Not my call, just the way things are.  It is not a government job.

You know, I saw this attitude in the JREF forum a lot, that people outside the US should butt out and not have opinions about US politics.  While it may throw a big question as to whether advanced really is from Latvia or not, I would like to note that people in foreign countries actually do legitimately have concerns over who would become the next president of the United States, or US politics in general.  The US reaches out and touches the world, being the one world hegemony currently (about to be competed with by China, many say).  The fact that we've gone in to many countries now in conflict, or denied funding to UNESCO for them recognizing Palestine as a country, and threatened to bomb Iran for instance, only makes the world more worried about our politics -- especially with some of our more extrajudicial measures.

It's not secrecy, it's a little thing called privacy. Everyone is entitled to it and you have no right whatsoever to criticise anyone for choosing to maintain it. If you want to start discussing technical issues then the issue of qualification is highly relevant. What people do with those qualifications (or not) is not relevant at all.

However, the point still stands: you have not done ANY calculation whatsoever to support your assertion that they are 200 metres apart. Support it or withdraw it.

As the picture of the airplanes is blurry, I have to base the distance on guesstimation.

Then you do not get to draw a firm conclusion about what the contrails from each aircraft could be doing. To summarise:

You do not know what the aircraft are (you have guessed at 737s based on some very dubious interpretation of some very small images in a compressed video)

You do not know what altitude they are flying at

You do not know how far apart they are (though you repeatedly stated 200m as a fact)

Therefore, you do not know that the atmospheric conditions under which the contrails form are not sufficiently different to explain the fact that one lingers and another does not.

So what do you know about that particular example?

It doesn`t matter what exactly those 2 airplanes are, both are of comparable size, have 2 engines, have absolutely different contrails, and are in near vicinity of each other. If you value them visually,  it could work out of being 200 maybe even 300 meters apart. it would demand very high level experts to calculate very exact numbers judging from the blurry videos.  But it doesn`t require an expert, to nitice different contrails.  Simply bring forward your parents, and tell them to report me that they have seen these kind of chemtrails all life long.  What do you want to say, that these airplanes are flying so far away, most likely many miles, and that these trails are different because one of them flies in completely different air temperature that it makes the contrails linger?  No, buddy! it won`t happen, because  you will get more and more videos, and reports from people around the world.  Uhhm the scary, 9/11, question:) I will never ask it:)

No no NO. You just don't get it, do you? You dont KNOW what those aircraft are, therefore you don't KNOW their relative sizes, and you cannot possibly determine how far apart they are.

Again, I point out that two aircraft of exactly the same size will only differ in apparent size by 9% with 1,000 metres between them.

Quote
If you value them visually,  it could work out of being 200 maybe even 300 meters apart.

Or 400, or 1,000. The point is you don't actually KNOW, and you admit it would take experts to calculate it properly, and yet your whole argument is based on you saying that you Do know how far apart they are.

Yes, it will. You can assert that it can't be so all you like, but reality doesn't give a damn what you think. The conditions for contrail to form and linger need only be different by ONE degree Celcius and ONE percent relative humidity and the results will be very different. Such changes can indeed occur over 1km in altitude difference between two aircraft.

Quote
because  you will get more and more videos, and reports from people around the world.

I don't care how many videos there are, the physics of the existence of contrails is well known, and so far you have not even shown any indication that you understand it.

Explain clouds and the way they linger in relation to your numbers you put up to explain why contrials should not. You seem more scared of that question than anyone here does about your absurd 9/11 litmus test question.

Show me your calcualtions of 9 % visual difference in size  by 2 objects being  a mile apart!

I didn't say a mile, I said a kilometre. Do try and keep up.

But fine, here we go:

A Boeing 737 is approximately 30 metres in length. We use simple trigonometry to calculate its apparent angular size from the ground at 10 km altitude.

The sine of the angle of a right-angled triangle is equal to the opposite length divided by the hypotenuse. In this case the opposite length is the length of the aircraft, 30 metres; the hypotenuse is the altitude, 10,000 metres. Rearranging the equation gives us the angle being equal to the inverse sine of 30/10,000, which is about 0.172 degrees.

So what about at 11 km altitude? In that case the angle subtended by the aircraft is equal to the inverse sine of 30/11,000, which is about 0.156 degrees.

So that's a difference of about 0.016 degrees.

So, 0.016/0.172 = 0.093, or 9.3%. In other words, the higher plane appears to be 90.7% the size of the lower one.

Explain VOR. Now.

The flight patterns are 200 m away, meaning their route, not exactly the fuselages of those airplanes, as they are not flying next to each other.
They are at least a mile apart.

Correct for a passenger aircraft.

that would imply the airplane would be barely seen at all.

Actually the angular resolution limit of the human eye is 0.02 to 0.03 degrees.  Jason's calculation showed the plane would have an angular size of 0.172 degrees - several times larger than the smallest the human eye can see.

The video depicts a zoomed image.


So?  The camera probably has better resolution than the human eye.

I am having a hard time envisioning a guy in Latvia caring about "meaningful jobs" in America while at the same time denigrating the effort of people that work in retail.  Despite what you have heard, Wal-mart is not a bad place to work, relative to the retail sector.  The people at my local Wal-mart work hard.  Many of them are immigrants with limited English skills that get a start at a better life in a new country through these jobs.  I bet the ability to support themselves is meaningful to them!


And by the way, denigrating Apollo is also insulting to people from countries all around the world.

The assumption is valid for passenger aircraft. And it would be easily seen. That angular size calculated is well within the limit of the human eye to resolve.

Quote
The video depicts a zoomed image.  Your trick won`t cut it here.

Trick? You think that because the image is zoomed there is going to be a difference? The camera is still at ground level. The angular sizes of the two objects are NOT altered by zooming in, and certainly not relative to each other.

However, thank you for doing exactly what I expected you to do. You asked for a calculation. I provided it. You simply find ways to dismiss it in your ignorance. YOU have been asked for your own calculations on working out the distance between those aircraft and you stubbornly refuse to provide it. Which of us is playing tricks here?

Oh, and your list of cloud seeding stuff is irrelevant. The whole point of cloud seeding is to seed clouds. In other words, what they spray up there stays up there. You are talking about things that make their way to the ground. Totally different and unrelated.

If I have an object like airplane 3 metres apart, and another airplane 300 metres away their size difference( visual, percentwise) will be  the same as 2 airplanes observed from 10 km distance being 300 metres apart?
 I added the cloud seeding program, so you could see how widespread the program of such spraying project could be. So it wouldn`t be a surprise how could they spray the whole country.
 I doubt those airplanes are  a mile apart( their trails, consequently), although I am not dead sure, as it is a blurry video.  It wouldn`t prove  that those are contrails.
A hypothetical question- if I had a thread about 9/11 how many of you would stay silent? I want to simply check if you are able to talk truth if it is against the government.

You really don't get how zooming works, do you?

It doesn't move your viewpoint closer, it just magnifies part of the image. You cannot say that because you are looking at a zoomed image it is like looking at those two objects closer to you.

Quote

I don't care about your doubts. You have been asked repeatedly now to provide a calculation to back up your claim they are only 200 metres apart and you have consistently refused to do so. That is intellectually dishonest.

The point is not to prove that they are contrails, but that their behaviour in both cases is consistent with the known behaviour of contrails because the atmospheric conditons the planes are flying in are different due to altitude.

Well, at least my question now gets added to the list of the "seen but unanswered."

If there were a thread of "problems you have/had with the US government," there is not a single person here who wouldn't have anything to post in it.  That doesn't mean that we have to believe in the incredibly stupid chemtrails conspiracies.  That doesn't mean we have to believe that the collapse of the World Trade Center was caused by anything but Big Frickin' Planes plus Big Frickin' Fires.  That doesn't mean that we have to believe that Apollo was faked.  Just because the Tuskegee Syphilis Study was real and horrific doesn't mean that the US government never does great things--or never fails to do bad ones.

-Then  watch the beginning of video in France, and tell me, what are these conditions fot these 2 airplanes that would make their trails so different, considering they are flying mere 200 meters apart.
I don't even have to watch the video to answer this one. It's simple, airplanes in cruise flight simply do not fly a mere 200 meters apart. That is much too close for safety.

The separation rules are complex and depend on type of air space, altitude, and direction of separation. Aircraft are allowed to come closest to each other in the vertical direction because airplanes have traditionally measured vertical position much more accurately than horizontal position. In most places, in cruise under 29,000 ft the closest they can ever come is 1,000 ft vertically. Above 29,000 ft, that increases to 2,000 ft vertically. And of course atmospheric conditions for contrail formation can vary greatly over that 1,000-2000 ft. (Remember how the device that measures altitude actually works and why it's so accurate. That's just one atmospheric property that varies quickly with altitude.)

But the separations are likely even greater. Up to 29,000 ft the odd thousand ft levels are assigned to eastbound flights and even thousands to westbound flights, so two aircraft going the same way and in the same geographic location will necessarily be at least 2,000 ft apart vertically. Above 29,000 ft only the odd flight levels are used, increasing the minimum altitude difference between aircraft going in the same direction to 4,000 ft.

Minimum separations in the horizontal directions (ie, at the same altitudes where the air properties for contrail formation would be the same) depend on the altitude and kind of airspace. In radar controlled airspace, horizontal en-route separations are 5 to 10 nautical miles. When two aircraft are following the same route, they cannot come closer than 10 or 15 minutes flying time.

The rules are complex and under revision to permit more efficient use of the air space, but it is still obvious right off the bat that you aren't seeing two cruising aircraft a mere 200m apart. You are seeing them at different altitudes and/or in different locations where the atmospheric conditions for contrail formation can be very different.

You need not guess about the altitude of the aircraft you see. Real time flight tracking data is available online at several sites, e.g., http://www.flightaware.com. You can see for yourself just how far apart they are and determine for yourself the altitudes at which contrails are currently forming.

Visually in the vdeo, all the chemtrails pass the sun
Yes, and once they'd passed the sun, they were no longer going toward the sun, but away from it.  (It's kinda like that old riddle, "How far can you run into the forest?"  The answer: half way)  Therefore, not all of the contrails in the video were going toward the sun, hence my confusion with your description.

Quote
meaning they don`t spray in such  awaythat the chemtrail would be already past the sun
That video starts with the sun at the left edge of the frame.  How do you know what is to the left of that?  How can you tell, from that video, that new contrails aren't being formed to the left of the sun, from that particular videographer's vantage point, therefore always being carried away from the sun, again, relative to that particular vantage point.  For that matter, why is that vantage point special? 

Quote
It always was sprayed on the right side of the video, while the sun was located in the left corner.
Yes, all of the contrails in that video were traveling at the same rate from frame right to frame left, indicating that they were all being carried by the same prevailing winds, which has nothing to do with the direction in which the contrails were "sprayed."  What of it?

Pure nonsense.

"Could be"? Wild speculation without any evidence.

So it wouldn`t be a surprise how could they spray the whole country.
Yet the trails remain in the sky and never reach the ground, and drift in the air to other countries. Just a bit inefficient, no?
I doubt those airplanes are  a mile apart( their trails, consequently), although I am not dead sure, as it is a blurry video.  It wouldn`t prove  that those are contrails.
Prove the separation distance. "I doubt" is insufficient. Prove they are not contrails.

Nope, wrong.

CO2 gas is recognized as a global warming gas.  Billions of tons of it are pumped out every day.  Venus is a pressure cooker with all of its own CO2 gas.  This is basic astronomical knowledge, but naturally it's gotten politicized to hell and back.

 `Intellectual coward,` nice one, . Hahhaha. I can`t calculate the exact distances, because I don`t have skills to do so. But you are pressing this, as if these are the only skills that matter.  I superimposed the pictures, and showed you the approximate visual estimation. Now you press that  it must be  definitely the temperature variations, that caused the trails to linger. Where have I heard it before, temperature inversions and swamp gass, hmm. You are naive to believe that I won`t find a more convincing video.
 There is nothing  of intelligence that is coming out of you,  which would  include patience, reservedness and ability  to exercize variables in possible evidence.  There is also nothing else that I would attribute of such, that would be created  by you, be it physically constructed or written. Nowhere else in scientific community I have seen such agression  and name calling.

Lupus, you even can`t post a picture properly?
 here is a video of 2 teachers talking it in a simple humble manner.

Intellectual coward,` nice one, . Hahhaha. I can`t calculate the exact distances, because I don`t have skills to do so. But you are pressing this, as if these are the only skills that matter.  I superimposed the pictures, and showed you the approximate visual estimation.

So you rushed to a conclusion without any expertise, and are unwilling to admit that it is not so easy to visually estimate the distance of two objects at long range based on apparent size differences?  And you're completely unwilling to admit you might be wrong?

Now you press that  it must be  definitely the temperature variations, that caused the trails to linger. Where have I heard it before, temperature inversions and swamp gass, hmm.

Will you please at least do the least amount of research it takes to find out how contrails work?

Lupus, you even can`t post a picture properly?

Pardon?  Outside of the unnecessary rudeness (which is completely hypocritical given how much you complain about others here insulting you), it shows up just fine for me, even when I'm logged out.

So ignorance multiplied several times suddenly becomes knowledge?  Once millions thought the sun revolved around the Earth because of the lack of knowledge they had about the solar system, does that suddenly make them right?  I'm sure they'd be considered "salt of the earth and sincere people" too.

Also, I'd say ignorant, not stupid.  As in, they make layman's assumptions without taking the effort to understand contrails, and are drawn into the hysteria thanks to its propagation by folks such as you.  It feeds into itself.

In the dim and distant past, when I was but a schoolboy, my history teacher was a great guy. Very intelligent, knew his subject very well and could impart both the knowledge and skills required to his students in an exciting and effective manner. But there wasn't a hope in hell that I would have gone to him with questions about my Biology assignment, my German homework or that English essay I just couldn't get started on.

Teachers are fine people (I am married to one after all), and the fact that they are teachers confirms a certain level of academic accomplishment and intellectual potential. However, they are not (and nor are they required to be) experts beyond their subject area. My wife is an English Literature graduate, teaching primary school children, and she often leaves the room (physically or metaphorically) whenever my son and I get into a discussion on our areas of interest ... computing, physics, quantum theory, because it really isn't something she is interested in.

The fact that the subjects in your video are teachers means nothing beyond the fact that teachers are just as capable of being crackpots and/or falling victim to conspiracy theories as the rest of the population.

I calculated.

Quote

I know. But that is not the point.

You guessed they were close together because they looked similar in size. I stated that they would still look similar in size even if they were 1km apart, five times further than your 'estimate'. You said that was absurd, you didn't believe it, and challenged me to provide my calculations to prove it. I did.

Naturally, confronted with this demonstration that you were wrong in your disbelief of my original statement, you now try to twist it around, accusing me of 'tricks' because the video is zoomed, and now trying to claim that I have failed to prove something I was never trying to prove in the first place. I never said those planes were that distance apart or that they were at those altitudes. I was addressing ONLY your statement that their similar size showed them to be close together.

And you STILL don't know that they were even the same size. If the lower aircraft is smaller than the higher one then that introduces an even greater range to their possible distances and similar apparent sizes.

Contrails are easy to understand.  I even linked you a page on how to estimate whether or not you'll see contrails.  The math might take a bit of work (as well as knowing certain variables), but it's all there.  This is the age of the internet, after all.

Relatedly, I don't have to go back and do all the mathematical computations just to show that the Earth goes around the Sun.  It's vastly accepted science, and the information is out there with a simple google search; why would I have to say "I'll need a couple of days to look it up", especially online?  Google search, link, done.

At the risk of being a broken record, may I offer my usual suggestion / challenge to any 'chem'trail believer?

It is often (almost universally) claimed by 'chem'trail promoters that there are hundreds, nay thousands of these evil-doing planes laying trails at altitudes below that at which contrails would naturally form.  Every day, over their heads, criss cross trails, supposedly at levels below which contrails would form..

So, 'chemmies' - wouldn't it be in your interest to actually record an example of such a thing?  And given that it is very easy, why not  .. do it?

Here's how, and all you need is a camcorder or video-capable camera (why even some of the newer phones have sufficient video quality..).  Note that this will work best in the US, for reasons I am happy to go into later..

1. First up, wait for a good day, when the evil is afoot.

2. Now, get up from your computer (that might be the most difficult part)

3. Jump in your car (or better yet, walk and get some exercise! but take a radio with you) and head to your nearest newsagent (or anywhere that sells papers), preferable one near a signposted street junction.  Buy a daily paper.

4. Now, staying near your car (turn the radio on so we can hear the time being announced)...  Start videoing!!

Here's what you need to film:

5. - the front page of the paper, and then zoom in to show the date and time (make sure it focuses properly)

6. - your location.  Do this by zooming back, and showing exactly where you are standing relative to the street junction sign and show enough 'landmarks' to allow verification on Google Earth, so that we can work out which you are facing.

7. - the 'trails' being laid.  Again, start from fully zoomed back so we can see which way you are facing, and then zoom in (don't overdo it!) to show at least one aircraft laying the trails.

8. - the entire sky.  Just pan slowly around while zoomed right back, to show the sky and any existing clouds and/or trails.

That's it, folks!  From there, we can pretty much fully analyse the full situation that you have captured, and in particular, determine whether that particular aircraft *should* have been laying contrails (I'll go through that process later, as required...)  Just one thing though - please post the video ON THE DAY that you filmed it (on youtube or whatever) so the date will be verified..  Oh and try to keep the camera steady - a tripod would be good, but isn't essential...


Now, here's the funny thing - no chemtrail believer has elected to take this on.

Why is that - does it all sound too complicated?  If anyone has a problem with any of it, can you tell me what is difficult?  I'm happy to do an example myself to prove it ain't hard...

I'll tell you why.  Either they did try it, and discovered for themselves that the aircraft were in contrail-conducive conditions, or they didn't because they are interminally lazy, trolling, or simply know dam well what the result will be.

The biggest lie that "chemtrailers" tell is that a contrail must always dissipate quickly.  Nevermind the fact that it has been known since airplanes could fly high enough that contrails could persist and it was spelled out in a study in 1942, it goes against common sense.  Contrails are essentially cirrus clouds.  By saying they must dissipate quickly and can not persist, they are saying that cirrus clouds can not exist.

I also find hilarious the claim that they "chemtrail" in front of the sun.  Somehow they never seem to realize that for someone just a few miles away the trails would not be near the sun at all.

What are you guys talking about? After getting out of H2S training for lunch I managed to snap "them" spraying us with lethal chemicals ...right in the open sky!

Now after you look at that pic I took on my iphone...you tell me Chemtrails don't exist.....That is RIGHT...You CAN'T can you? Cause they look like chemicals...and they do leave a trail....so CHEMTRAILS!!!!

Condensation trails, vapour trails, chemtrails!
Call them what your will, they all contain dihydrogen monoxide,  (http://www.dhmo.org/) (DHMO) whose dangers are well known.

The list of dangers is quite long and include;

Death due to accidental inhalation of DHMO, even in small quantities.
Prolonged exposure to solid DHMO causes severe tissue damage.

As a kid, some of the more malevolent kids in my neighborhood regularly formed quantities of solid DHMO into improvised projectile weapons, using a sort of manual compression-based sintering technique. (I was often their target.)

Obviously the stuff should be kept away from children.

Only some creatures. Others seem to thrive in it.

My research shows that excessive DHMO exposure is especially toxic to birds and mammals including humans, but even here there are exceptions; some birds and one large mammal category seem to seek it out, frequently immersing themselves completely in the stuff, and they get very distressed and can even die when completely removed from it. Obviously this is some form of species-level addiction with a nasty withdrawal syndrome.

Obviously they had been doing it long before humans came along, but fortunately we humans did our best to remove many of them from DHMO exposure for several centuries once we realized what was going on.

Unfortunately, they can't do this anymore; various do-gooders and heavy government regulations essentially stopped the practice.

Post by: raven on June 21, 2012, 04:54:57 AM
DHMO is indeed dangerous stuff.
Post-mortem biopsies done on terminal tumours find it in over 98% of them, and over 92% of humans exposed to it have died.
Yet more than half of processed foods measurable quantities.
It's in our food supply, it's a major component of acid rain, clearly, this substance should be banned, yet no one is willing to take action.
Why, why, why? :o

I would also like to start a topic on chemtrails as I have been researching the topic for some time, and I have an opinion with some evidence to support it. Before gong into it, what are your strongest points against or for it. I will join you later, once you have come up with your ideas.

AB, that photo of the two planes...I assume your research has enlightened you as to aircraft separation rules at flight levels, yes? Two planes in close lateral distances travelling in the same direction will be separated by at least 2000 feet. Your two jetliners in the photo were so separated...you won't find airliners doing formation flights like you imply. (~100m separation). This vertical separation would also explain any differences in contrail appearances...as would differences in aircraft types, weights, power settings, engine types, local atmospheric conditions and other variables. Who knows, maybe one is a 737 and the other is a more distant 767. And the telephoto lens does distort/compress the apparent distance between the aircraft.

You said you have some "evidence to support it" (chemtrails). Still waiting for that evidence. I suspect that the increase in contrails can be significantly explained by the increase in the number of airliners flying up there, aka "fragmentation". More smaller jets flying vs fewer heavies, this in order to cater to customer demands for more convenient flight schedules. Air traffic continues to increase, and it has only recently become a topic for the CTs.

Finally, no one to date has ever made a direct correlation between contrails and any materials (natural or otherwise) found on the Earth's surface. There was a site collecting funds to capture "chemtrail" evidence directly via a business jet, but after some fundraising, the site closed down, much to the consternation of the gullible contributors.

How about you show us your best evidence (aside from "it looks strange to me"). I still rarely see contrails here in Colorado (the "mountain west"), likely a RH issue at altitude, though we do sometimes get the "dashed" trails due to the jetstream interacting with the mountain wave effect. When I do see trails, and I have access to the internet, flightaware.com makes it easy to ID the flights (even shows their filed flightplans). Oft times, one can easily ID the flights visually. Had a Virgin A380 going over some time back, conning all to hell and gone...beautiful sight! Heavy 747s are pretty as well.

Contrails are a natural byproduct of aircraft flying in the right conditions, which can even be on/near the ground. Show us some concrete evidence to the contrary, all those pretty youtube videos aren't doing it.
Title: Re: Chemtrails. The reality.
Post by: scooter on June 22, 2012, 02:39:36 AM
Yet we will see many videos where the air traffic is above big cities, and leaving these huge lasting chemtrails. Airplanes are not flying above cities at 10km , they are approaching  or leaving airports , thus being much lower than 10km, which would exclude condensation trails.

This statement, do you really and truely mean it? If so, your "research" machinery needs some work. And jetliners cruise anywhere from FL180-430, give or take...depends on several variables, which your research will also no doubt reveal to you.
I'm starting (!?) to doubt your research...seriously.

I'd always thought of myself as one of the more anti-authoritarian people I know. But if an authority I really disliked were to say "2+2=4", I wouldn't produce a 12-part Youtube video series to argue that 2+2 is really equal to every number but 4.

Yet this is just what CTs do. It's as if anything NASA (or whoever) says must be false simply because they're part of the US government, and the US government always lies. The CTs generally lack the education and skills needed to test the statements for themselves, and they're far too paranoid to trust the opinion of anyone who does have the necessary background. In fact, when the experts agree with the government agency, it can only be because they're all paid shills, not because the statement is actually correct.

Ranting about chem-bombing, chemtrail attacks...I need to check flightaware.com and see what the enroute traffic is like over there.

Post by: twik on June 22, 2012, 03:46:42 PM
People like AB don't seem to *see* much of the world. For example, his claim that contrails should not be seen above major cities, because planes there would be landing or taking off, not travelling at altitude.

So, every time I've flown over a metropolitan area on the way to somewhere else didn't happen? It's practically on a par with those people a few years ago who were arguing that the earth had been knocked off its access, because the sun was setting in a different part of the sky in July than in February. How do they not notice the way things work?

You can't really "explain" anything to these people, because they distrust everyone that supports "the official story", or think that you're one of "the sheeple".  If they assume you're deluded or lying before even considering the facts, how they can accept an explanation?

Of course, that's not to say you shouldn't try.  It's just unlikely they'll say "Oh, I was wrong all along!"  More than likely, a couple months or years down the line, they then will start thinking "Wow, you know, maybe I was being stupid after all."

Well, aluminum oxide (alumina, Al2O3) is white. But it's also an extremely common material in the environment, so what's the point?

(And alumina actually is deposited in the upper atmosphere in large amounts by solid rocket engines.)

Their theory has another problem: aluminum has very little biological toxicity, so it seems a poor choice of poison. Many people voluntarily consume large amounts of the stuff in the form of Al(OH)3 as a component of most antacids with no apparent ill effect.

200 metres apart - I don't think so. Standard traffic spacing is at least 1 km separation horizontally, 1,000 feet vertically. In a TMA the horizontal spacing is usually larger, except where you have parallel runways.

So, I'm still new here and I'm just saying this is the dumbest one so far. Even though they're still arguing controlled demolition over on the 9/11 boards.

Let me qualify that a little bit more; I don't really consider "theories" that bring in things from completely outside the pale, like alien structures on the moon and such. That's just where I set my personal bar - I don't mean to try to impose on anyone else, of course.

For me, I think the best thing that has come from this so far is my renewed interest in the Apollo Project. When I was a kid I was a space travel nut; I remember getting space travel books in the mail with sheets of stickers to lick-and-stick in them (any other oldies out there remember those?), and I knew more about Goddard, Stapp, and Yeager than Washington and Jefferson. I remember being at Myrtle Beach as a rising high school senior and seriously pissing off this girl from Tennessee because I wanted to watch the Apollo 11 coverage instead of sitting out on the dark porch with her. So the ALSJ and other stuff that's available on line now is a treasure trove for me. Not to mention reading the posts of those of you who actually work in the field and are more than willing to explain technical stuff.

Well, that ran on, didn't it? Sorry.

PLease don't apologize as I am always interested in learning and listening to someone older and wiser than myself. It is always something I will do and always enjoy doing.

It is a great quote most definitely. I too argued for 2.5 years with the 9/11 troofers over controlled demolition, a missle hitting the pentagon and so forth. I have since retired from that as I went into it with the notion that their was a great force working behind the scenes....the more I researched the more I found against my initial opinion....I searched harder...the more I did the less I had to base my opinion on...until all was left to do was admit I was wrong and and conclude it was what it was...a attack by a insurgent group to bring the terror home to them that was felt in other parts of the world.

I have to say aren't you the romantic?..
"Hey hunny wanna make out on the porch and watch the stars and tell each other our dreams and wishes?"

"Are you KIDDING?....Neil Armstrong is about to bounce around on the moon and take pictures of Buzz Aldrin"

I relate to this in so many ways and found the mental picture of it to be more than humorous. I do however thank my luck that there are people like you in this world. I would have never called myself a HB but I gave say 10% merit to their claims at one point...thankfully one of them was ignorant beyond logic and to more so outta of spite started down the long path of critical thinking and research of not only Apollo but 9/11, Jfk,Chemtrails and other beliefs that some claim to exist right before our eyes. Thankfully their is forums and information that is so easily accessed nowadays as if I had to go to the library and research I would have probably not gotten passed Apollo yet....just as time would not have been available to get the amount of research in needed for myself to think what is and isn't conclusive.
