Maybe you should read a little more carefully.
The Eastlund patent mentions the release of barium in the magnetosphere, outside of the atmosphere. The patent also says that his idea is better because it does not need to do that.
The contrail generator patent is for target practice. It carries a few pounds of titanium oxide which would be distributed as a powder. Don't know if it was ever used.
The present invention is for a powder generator requiring no heat source to emit a "contrail" with sufficient visibility to aid in visual acquisition of an aircraft target vehicle and the like.
The "Welsbach" patent recommends the use of aluminum oxide particles, not aluminum "flakes". Aluminum is one of the most common elements found in the Earth's crust. Aluminum oxide is the most common compound of it. It is found naturally just about everywhere. It is not very toxic. There is no indication that the method described in the patent has ever been used.

Just as I thought, some Barium would, [might] return to Earth. I don't know about any relationship with "Chemtrails" for my particular question.

It could stay trapped in the magnetosphere for quite a while. Most of it would get dragged off into space by the solar wind. Some might even eventually settle into the atmosphere where it would become very thinly distributed.
But what does that have to do with "chemtrails"?

I would love to take you up on your offer of a beer some time!
Regarding what I should do next time I decide to pull this prank...well, I don't know if there will be a next time. While the Air Force doesn't have any rules that specifically forbid this kind of nonsense when we aren't filming anything secret, it has made one of the pilots and a few higher-ups in our squadron a little nervous (ie. post RollingStone!!) ...a bit like we are inciting a mob. It was fun though...you tend to get creative on these long flights!!

It is difficult to avoid barium in an industrial world.
www.scorecard.org...
The quantities of barium which have been occasionally injected into the magnetosphere are very small. The amount entering the atmosphere would be absurdly small. The concentrations of those amounts would be utterly undetectable.
Its hard to imagine a mindset where one attributes anything and everything to airplanes and lives in fear of aircraft and contrails

Yes, you and I know that, and most everyone else too with some degree of geology or chemistry education, Barium is not rare at all, and is going to be found in the ground naturally, and in the atmosphere as a result of industry, especially coal fired power plants.
But to the Chemtrail Clowns, any barium must automatically come from airplanes...along with Cirrus, any weather outside the median or average, yellow dust (pollen to the rest of us), any strange smell, any coughing with a contrail in sight, any headaches too....

Perhaps we should assign the condition a name?
I vote for "CLS".
