You really aren't up to scratch with paying attention to your surroundings or in science class, huh?

I believe that you are claiming aluminum or alumina as the dispersed material. So far you have not said how you think it is done.
Air Force One has been observed recently in a number of both high altitude and crowd pleasing low passes to be releasing a seemingly harmless colorful red dye. Protesters at the president's appearances have made claims of adverse reactions upon contact with the chemical. Complaints of headaches, nausea, and general malaise upon viewing or listening to Mr. Bush are apparently replaced with feelings of complacency, euphoria, and in some extreme cases, somnolence.
The White House insists that what is being disbursed is merely red smoke, similar to that seen in air shows and other aerial displays, and is meant as a display of bipartisan patriotism.
An independent laboratory has tested air samples from previous appearances, and while they maintain that the results are preliminary and inconclusive, traces of the drugs diazepam and fluoxetine have reportedly been found in significant concentrations.
"I don't want you to think about the Democratic plans for success," stated Bush at a rally in Indiana today. "They are in agreement on one thing... they want to make me leave before my job is done, and I will not let them."

No I guess not... I must be dumb cause when I ask what chemicals make red smoke I get lectures on light dispersion through white clouds...
Not sure what chemical gives the red color though

Since I was the one who posted the info on clouds and light dispersion, I assume that remark was directed at me. And I think you are being a bit unfair.

One merely needs to keep things relative.

The topic of this thread is a phenomena that occurs at significant altitudes and is produced by modern jet engines.
What degree of "relative" does "merely" seek? Almost relative? Slightly relative?
Originally posted by eaganthorn
The comment of “relative” is in the scope of testing to which I refer the use of a small engine, on a small scale, and of cooler temperatures.

So in conclusion....your example sucks as a means to make a point. You know that, but you're simply too smitten with yourself to admit it.

I'm just glad that those who don't get it, don't work in a lab, else there would be hell to pay.

And none of that has anything what-so-ever to do with the trail phenomenon seen in the skies, be they condensation or exotic chemicals.
Can you at least try to keep on a single point? You are all over the place.
