Thanks for making the unfounded assumption that I have no experience with coastal weather patterns and resulting cloud formations and at the same time assuming that I have a complete ignorance of the fluid dynamics.
Cheers!

In any case, when I got off from work today (2/4/09 - Los Angeles), at 5:30 p.m., it was still light and the sky was covered with chemtrails; and the ones that really bother me - the ones with the dark, whispy stuff hanging/feathering through them. I've taken some photos of these types over the Los Angeles area. I would upload them but can't find my usb cord.

The data from the observation station nearest a report would be a sound, scientific means for the start of a "credibility index", which would then be able to not only indicate the likelihood of the observation being a chemtrail but could provide hard data as to why it may not be a chemtrail. It could both vet and educate at the same time.
