What did you expect to happen?
Experiments involving artificial ionospheric injections of different materials were conducted in the 1980’s. For example, Millstone Hill 440-MHz ISR was used to observe the spatial and temporal development of heavy negative ion plasma clouds created during four active chemical release experiments: the Ionospheric Modification Study (IMS) in 1983, the Space-Plasma Negative Ion Experiments (SPINEX 1 and 2) in 1984 and 1986, and NICARE 1 in 1989 (Sultan et al., 1992). The METAL campaign (Kirkwood and Vonzahn, 1993) was a multi-instrument campaign conducted in 1991 that was designed to investigate the relationship between neutral and ionized metallic layers in the high-latitude lower ionosphere. Measurements included electron density profiles and electric fields from the EISCAT UHF radar, ionosonde measurements of E(s) layers, neutral Fe profiles from lidar, rocket observations of winds (by chaff releases), and measurements of plasma density and ion composition (by mass spectrometer). The Arecibo incoherent scatter radar was used to observe enhanced ion acoustic and Langmuir wave turbulence after the release of 30 kg of CF3Br into the F region at 285 km (Bernhardt et al., 1995). In July 1992, as part of the NASA Combined Release and Radiation Effects Satellite (CRRES) El Coqui rocket campaign, the AA 2 experiment was performed. Its purpose was to study the interaction between a powerful radio wave and a high ion mass (Ba+) ''collisionless'' plasma. Approximately 35 kg of Ba were explosively released near the center of the Arecibo high-frequency heater beam at 253 km altitude (Djuth et al., 1995). Barium cloud releases were studied by Sridharan et al., 1997. Among other materials used for active experiments the following can be mentioned: metallic needles (Goldstein et al., 1998), CO2 (released near Millstone Hill ISR, Semeter et al., 1996), trimethyl aluminum (Roper, 1996).
Recent advances in nanotechnology open new horizons for active experiments in space. In particular, the so-called “nanoparticles” (0.015 to 2.5 μm in diameter, Postnova Analytics, 2005) can be charged to very high (up to a few hundreds, depending on the environment) charge numbers. If injected at ionospheric heights, they can create strong and sustainable artificial inhomogeneities of ionization (electron density enhancement or depletion) comparable or stronger than that of the background ionosphere. One possible application could be the excitation of artificial polar mesosphere summer echoes (PMSE).

Lets get some grounding and some terminology sorted out here a moment.
The recognised - and indeed long held definition of "Chemtrails" refers to what people see as lines in the sky. Those lines (and I'll go out on a limb right now and say that I beleive they are contrails, and nothing else) are generally formed at altitudes greater than 26,000 feet by aircraft passing overhead. (4.5-5miles plus)
Granted... the 'official term 'Chemtrail' has been used specifically in regards to contrail like looking trails from airplanes leaving chemicals.
Me personally... I am not that focused on that... spraying pesticides on an unaware population, spraying agent orange on people as a test with out their knowledge... running military aircraft spewing out tons of toxic fuel remnants ( I have the data sheets)... high altitude 'experiments' dumping chemicals from rockets and satellites to effect the weather, the ionosphere and the magnetosphere...
To me its all the same... but if you want to nit pick the term and its usage... fine...
Chemtrails of the 1st Kind...
Low level spraying of pesticides, crop dusting, chemical defoliants etc. These chemicals directly get into the air we breath (I still remember the mosquito foggers driving down the streets while kids played), the water we drink and the food we eat via the soil... Not to forget military testing of sprays on people (Don't believe me just google 'Agent Orange tests on towns')
Chemtrails of the 2nd Kind
These would be your aeroplanes spraying for whatever reason... I really don't see the difference WHAT the reason is IMO... smoke from sky writers, bad engines, nasty military jet fuels, cloud seeding... all of those are putting harmful chemicals into the air. It also seems MOST LIKELY that if they are now doing it in the upper atmosphere and space, that they MOST LIKELY did or are still doing, low level atmosphere tests first. In fact they even did it with Nukes in the 50's and 60's (yes I have the data for later)
Chemtrails of the 3rd Kind
LEO rockets dumping chemicals to 'test' changing the ionosphere etc. The use of high energy electron fields like HAARP produces to create plasma mirrors for a number of reasons
Chemtrails of the 4th Kind
Satellites in orbit releasing times amounts of chemicals like barium or gases for what ever reason we can still only guess at...
So you and other skeptics may wish to poke at the term 'Chemtrails' and stick to the narrow focus so you can say "But those are not chemtrails, they are rockets trailing chemicals"
To me its the same thing, dumping chemicals into the air... by what ever means... the end result is the same
in my ennui soaked sunbathe worshiping youth, this has NEVER happened with normal jet contrails, which generally disperse within twenty minutes to an hour, MAX. NEVER did i see "contrails" be laid down by aircraft flying in parallel formation, which subsequently blank out the sun with the clouds that formed as a result of their exhaust.
Current aircraft engines emit aerosol particles and gaseous aerosol precursors into the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere that may affect air chemistry and climate. Aircraft engines also directly emit soot and metal particles. Liquid aerosol precursors include water vapor, oxidized sulfur in various forms, chemi-ions (charged molecules), nitrogen oxides, and unburned hydrocarbons.

Disgusting.

No.
Whats "disgusting" is the fact that, in order to promote your belief, you choose to label, smear and denegrate those who don't see things the same way you do.

You're right. I call them government shills. Souls for the fire.

I can see that you are fairly new here, so let me explain.

I suggest you go and research how and why a dust storm can travel hundreds of kilometres before making stupid assumptions.

Hey, we might as well include the space shuttle in it now too .
Me thinks the red dust in Australia is from these chemtrails. The metals oxidize and settle to earth, creating the red dust. There was similar storms in the Colorado Rockies last year.

The "red dust" is from clay subsoil. In many places once you get past the rich organic (black) earth you get a iro n oxide red subsoil. In others you get yellow clay subsoil. This Article seems to indicate "the upward yellowing of the soil [is due ]to a progressive transformation of the Fe oxides..... attests to greater activities of water and aluminium and smaller activity of aqueous silica in the topsoil than in the subsoil. We interpret this as a consequence of longer periods of wetting in the topsoil that could result from soil aging, more humid climate or both." Or in other words red soil indicates a drier climate?
The red "dust" has nothing to do with "chemtrails" unless said "chemtrails" caused a major drought and "dust bowl" conditions.

The day locomotive sized exhaust trails form behind my vehicle in the Winter time, I'll believe you.
OzWeatherman- I would love to see you debate Dr. Nick Begich on Haarp & Chemtrails...
