Don't be paranoid about anything and simply don't think about it or else you will develope a disease called paranoya.

Question is, will it be a New World as in Old World Order (Barbaric Rome, Aztec style sacrafices) or are Aliens real and are about to cancel the technology contract with the military and dethrone our leaders and give it to the meek, kind, and responsible folks?

As far as paranoia...some arent paranoid enough

Yeah, you would.
See this is where you show your general ignorance on the subject. What do you think pilots are doing enroute?
While there are times both pilots are “head down” there is still plenty of time spent scanning.
Every time ATC gives a traffic alert or TCAS chirps eyes scan.
And yes this is a physics matter. Since you need a refresher I suggest playing around with this contrail simulator, it will help you understand the basics.
Once you have got that under control I suggest you do some more research.
One unique type of cloud is manmade. Contrails occur when exhaust from jet engines condenses. A narrow line of moisture makes up the contrail. Winds eventually dissipate it; in some instances conditions permit the contrail to survive for many minutes (their straight lines do distort). Contrails are believed to affect weather by raising both short and long-term temperatures (one estimate is for about a third of a degree per decade). Here is a MODIS image taken over the southeast U.S. on January 29, 2004 showing a large number of contrails (at times more than 2000 planes are over the North American continent at any one time):
rst.gsfc.nasa.gov...
Contrail formation typically occurs in the upper Troposphere between nine and twelve kilometers is height with temperatures ranging between -35ƒC and -55ƒC (Jensen e. al. 1998, Schrader 1997). Most contrails last on the order of seconds to a few minutes and only a small minority will last for hours as in the contrails photographed (Jensen et. al. 1998). A newly formed contrail will be approximately one kilometer wide and one-half a kilometer tall. As a contrail evolves, it grows greatly in the horizontal plane sometimes extending over 20 kilometers in width (Spinhirne et al. 1998). Examples of this horizontal evolution is shown in the photograph. Contrails can also be 100ís of kilometers long given the right atmospheric conditions and a plane on a steady course.
Long lasting contrails like the ones observed usually occur in parts of the sky that have preexisting patches of cirrus clouds. Since the cirrus clouds are formed of ice crystals like the contrails, cirrus clouds in a region of the sky suggests supersaturation with respect to ice and sufficient heterogeneous nuclei for ice crystals to form (Jenson et al. 1998). The GOES-8 satellite photographs, Figure 3 and Figure 4, taken at approximately at the same time as the contrails were present shows significant cirrus clouds around the Norman area providing a condition necessary for contrail persistence.

The condensation trails (contrails) that form in the wake of high-flying jets are another interesting example. These cylindrical clouds have variable lifetimes and water concentrations depending on environmental conditions. In some cases the contrails can persist for many minutes. But they do slowly diffuse, much like the smoke plume emitted by an acrobatic aircraft.

LOL you are giving me a lecture on informal fallacies?
LOL Your whole “chem trails” theory is nothing more than Post Hoc Ergo Propter Hoc with a touch of Ad Ignorantiam. And FYI if anything you would accuse me of Ad Verecundiam, not Ad Populum.
Frankly the history of rogue waves is irrelevant to the subject at hand, but since you brought it up…might I remind you that they were well known to mariners for generations.
One the other hand “chem trails” are ridiculed not just by scientists but by aviators themselves. Maybe you could come up with another analogy.
Once again… irrelevant. Pilots tend to be a dedicated profession.
Abnormalities are always noted, failure to develop this ability is not a “healthy” thing in aviation.
You have repeatedly shown in this thread that you have no knowledge of aviation, or if you prefer a very minimal knowledge. In light of this, I guess I should not be surprised by comments, such as the one above.
You might be tempted to declare the previous statement an Ad Hominem fallacy, but I have never called your character, actions, or circumstances into question. I do however; feel no compunction “calling out” you general lack of knowledge of aviation.
LOL Again you show that, while you know the terms involved in informal fallacies, you do not truly understand the concept of the terms.
Ad Verecundiam is an appeal to a illegitimate authority. I appealed to legitimate authorities: Pilots.
If there is a degree of debate among experts (in this case pilots) then my argument would constitute an Ad Verecundiam fallacy. Unfortunately for you, there is no debate, about “chem trails” in the aviation community.
Careful studies eh, care to show us your notes.
I would have some very serious questions to ask. Your location is listed as South Africa. I understand that your actual location may/may not be in the US, but how do you validate your data. You do realize that all ATC data you might see on your computer is delayed per FAA rules. If you look up, in US airspace, and see a aircraft & contrail, then run to your computer to check the ID on the fight; you will not see the flight directly over your position. You have to check around 2-5 min back on the route. This is relatively easy to do with the proper software and a quick check of the flight’s route.
you were referring to my position on the logistical strain an operation such as this would entail, as a straw man, you are wrong. Pointing out the details of a nation wide spraying operation, is not a distortion. By using conservative numbers I was, in fact, going out of my way to keep from distorting your position. Ignoring or spinning my point as a straw man, does not invalidate the logic in it.
And once again you are guilty of Petitio Principii. You have yet to quantitatively and qualitatively issue a convincing logical argument supporting “chem trails”.
Federal bureaucracies have gotten thousands of phone calls, e-mails and letters in recent years from people demanding to know what is being sprayed and why. Some of the missives are threatening.
www.usatoday.com...
Again with the Petitio Principii. Just because you fail to see the logic of why the logistics of such an operation would not be noticed does not invalidate the point.
It seems just about every meager rebuttal you attempt, involves you telling someone they are blind. It really is a silly tactic the first time you did it and repeating it does not, somehow, endure yourself to anyone. Ridicule does not suite you.
Ok? What does this have to do with “chem trails” and your argument?
If anything it would disprove your contentions. Why you ask? Well you know about it! The very fact you know anything about the raids over Laos shows that even an operation a fraction of the size of the one you are proposing, could not escape scrutiny. You know about it because someone credible leaked the info.
returned to the Pentagon, but later called and asked if I would meet him that night at a residential address in Alexandria, Va., and would I please bring my affidavits. I arrived at the appointed hour and was introduced to a tall and distinguished gentleman identified as Secretary of the Air Force Robert C. Seamans Jr. When I showed the secretary the affidavits, he also reflected shock.
A few days later, it was announced that we were indeed bombing in Laos, but that for security reasons, this knowledge had been withheld from the civilian secretaries of the Air Force, Navy and Army. At the direct order from the White House to the Joint Chiefs of Staff, false coordinates were reported to the secretaries for the daily and nightly bombing runs over Laos and Cambodia. The justification, then as now, was that national security required that the bombing raids not be disclosed to the American people.
www.commondreams.org...
During the Vietnam war between the United States of America and Vietnam, Laos was caught in the middle. That unprecidented war drew the Soviet Union (Russia), China, Thailand and many other countries into the horrible conflicts.
The CIA without any support of the American people created a secret war in Laos by recruiting the hill tribe people in the eastern part of Laos to fight the Communist North Vietnamese troops in Laos. When it was all over, the U.S had turned a tiny Laos into a second moon face of the earth.
The U.S. bombing of Laos was unprecedented. The U.S. Air Force carried out 580,000 missions against the country. That breaks down to about one planeload of bombs dropped every eight minutes, 24 hours a day, for nine years. According to the experts, the U.S. dropped over 2 million tonnes of bombs in Laos, more than all of the bombs dropped during the World War II.
www.savannanet.com...
It didn't take long to find one. Savannakhet is the most heavily bombed province in one of the most heavily bombed countries in the history of warfare. About 150 yards into the jungle, the boys spotted an unexploded bomblet from a U.S. cluster bomb dropped here during the Vietnam War
Cluster bombs were the weapon of choice. They could penetrate the jungle canopy and cover several football fields' worth of ground. The bombing runs were designed to wipe out convoys or enemy troops beneath the trees. The United States dropped 80 million cluster bomblets on Laos. Ten percent to 30% did not explode, leaving 8 million to 24 million scattered across the country; 15 of Laos' 18 provinces are contaminated with UXO. In the northern Xiangkhoang province, grazing water buffalo have eaten dud submunitions and exploded.

Excusing your Appeal to Ridicule, how do you know anything about my education or my knowledge of history?
Frankly this reply was at best patronizing; at worst insulting. You would serve your position better by avoiding tantrums such at this.
All that aside, you mention remote control. Humm so instead of proving how the pilot roster could be accommodating, to your position, you now shift to remote control.
suppose that when I point out that massive amounts of “ground controllers” would still be needed (given the scale of the operation), you would simply state that they were AI controlled.
Sigh……..
What stories? The fact that there are so few means that it is not happening.
Or, like yourself, when confronted with experts and a massive body of evidence disproving your position; you persist in your position.
Sort of a plug your fingers in your ears and yell “I hear you point and I am ignoring it!”
Someone help me here. Is this an Appeal to Tradition or an Appeal to Common Practice. I am leaning towards Tradition, but I can not decide.
LOL Petitio Principii! You believe in it, so therefore it is true. Sorry, but that is just not how it works….no matter how bad you want it too.
And the piece de resistance….a rambling Red Herring.
BTW Found some pic of WWII contrails for ya!
Pic 1
Page with info on Pic 1
Check out the amount of cloud cover created by the contrails!
In addition to the Emden mission, Waltz also studied aircraft positions and weather reports for several other missions. Using the microfiche records of the 390th combat missions available at the museum he determined that this mission was the only one in which the weather conditions and the formations were perfect for generating the contrails seen in the photograph.
Here is his report of these studies made in 1994, as follows:
www.390th.org...
The 390th participated in 301 operational missions dropping over 19,000 tons of bombs. 179 of its aircraft were lost, with 147 missing in action and 32 due to other causes. The Group's accomplishments show a total of 378 enemy aircraft destroyed, 78 probably destroyed, and 97 damaged. The Group was awarded two Presidential Unit Citations, six Battle Streamers and many commendations. During its combat history the Group's bombing accuracy was reported as the best in the 8th Air Force and its aircraft losses were the lowest per mission flown/bombs dropped.
www.390th.org...
Check this pic out! The center flights have contrails and the outer ones do not. I bet the center flights are the sprayer! LOL
Pic 2
More evidence of WWII Spraying!!! Look at the top right of the photo. You can see a “trail” even though the subject aircraft are leaving none! Also look at the beginning of a grid at the bottom left of the pic!!
I also found a great resource for Contrails!

Scanning for what, when and for what reason? The sky is completely empty ,beside the chem trails that is, and there is just nothing to look at as far as i understand...

I am pretty sure i meant to say relatively persistent contrail can only form when there are already some cloud formation taking place...

I did post this bit of information in support of my arguments above so i think my correction should be acceptable?
Is that really the best you could do considering the twenty thousand odd words i employed there?
Shameless is what you are and i wish you could find a better way to spend your time .

I'm glad you are at least acknowledging the existence and importance of supersaturation with respect to ice.
Have you looked at this thread yet?
For those guys with their B17 pics...How can you tell how long the trails are lasting from a picture? When you've got dozens of planes flying in formation you're gonna get a lot of contrails, it doesn't prove that contrails last for hours.
Yes contrails under the right conditions can last for a while, but those conditions are rare. So why would those rare conditions suddenly become common? If it's not chemtrails (i hate that term but...) then something in our atmosphere has changed.
And don't say traffic increase, that has happened too steadily to create a sudden increase in contrails.
You all want to focus on the few nuts who claim they're poisoning us, just like the 9-11 folks who focus on the bizarre fringe theories to argue for the official version.
Stop wasting time arguing with paid agents of the system, whose job is to tie us down or hold us down.
I recommend a world-wide network of plane spotters with dates, times, descriptions, photo's and videos...
