What I thing about Chemtrails, by Iain Carstairs

CHEMTRAIL NOTE: I'm a little puzzled why your site is rational and yet denies chemtrails - people are turning to you for information, and there isn't anything except insults aimed at people like me, who are trying only to find out what the activity is.

I have been in the commercial aviation industry since 1983, and we presently hold a database of all commercial flights departing the UK. One of the tools I use occasionally is called planefinder.net, which has all ADS-B aircraft (CAA flights) on it, with the exception of FlyBe, a small operator with short haul flights, whose routes we are aware of. Planefinder gives all commercial traffic in real time on an iphone or PC.

I live in Bedford and about four days a week we have grids of solid white material coming out of planes that start in the south of the town, going east-west and then working further north during the day. We hardly get any bluie sies, even in the height of summer - cumulus clouds are of course obvious but these artificial ones begin as solid streams from 4 engine jets, spreading over a period of some hours into wispy filaments which stay in the air most of the day. By late morning the skies are already a milky, diffused white and direct sunlight cannot get through.

I first noticed these "chemtrails" about two years ago so in the last few months have used planefinder to verify that the "spray planes" are NOT CAA aircraft. I have contacts within the CAA who assure me that no civil airliners have been authorised to have modifications either to the fuel or to equipment which would spray chemicals into the exhaust of the jets themselves. They did, however, say they could not speak for the MoD.

Either way, the suspicious thing is that not one single spray plane I have spotted in the last 5 months from our offices - probably more than 100 separate occasions - has appeared on planefinder. The same reports have come from colleagues in Maidstone, Glasgow, Putney, Dublin, Toronto, Hamilton (Ontario), Las Angeles, Milan, Alicante and even the Greek Islands.

On the hottest days of the year 2012, both Bedford and London had vast swathes of tic-tac-toe grids over them, when weather balloon data combined with the Appleman chart show contrails should not form at all, let alone persist all day. What I have noticed is that regardless of relative humidity %, temperature, time of year, time of day or wind conditions, these uniquely identifiable sprays look identical. They have identical persistence and identical dissipation rates, which would be impossible for condensation, that is, to behave in the same way under any and all seasons and temperatures, etc.

very simply put, nobody can explain why these planes do not show up on either our database of UK flights, or on CAA radar systems. So it does seem that denying their existence flies in the face of observed evidence, and my feedback from tour operators, is that they do not like being blamed for this activity, which happens because most people are not aware of how simple it is to check the civil or military nature of flights directly overhead at any time. --Iain carstairs (talk) 19:13, 28 February 2013 (UTC) (Iain Carstairs)
