Los Angeles, according to Wikipedia.
Ted Gunderson is the former chief of the Los Angeles FBI.

Better article writers ...
It appears we are unable to squelch the Chemtrail Hoax, so I thought I would do some research of my own just to see if I could send it back to the can where it belongs. I don’t know who started it but there is an organization that appears to be behind it and other hoaxes. The company is called ‘Global Skywatch.’ They work on conspiracy theories and phony science. It appears this company with its group of so-called scientists and reporters grab just about any story they can for the sheer joy of sensationalism.
Personally, I have no problem with reporting things that are worthy of consideration, but sensationalism for the sake of notoriety is a little silly and for the gullible, quite scary. This Blog will not intentionally steer the reader in the wrong direction with silly things like Global Warming, or CIA cover-ups–etc, etc…I think the truth is much more exciting than a bunch of lies.
According to scientists around the world, the idea of changing contrails into chemtrails is bogus science. Numerous governments deny vehemently that they are involved in any such testing. According to Global Skywatch there was a release of Barium over some part of Louisiana, but that report turned out to be fraudulent, perhaps accidentally, but not before the story was picked up by the nut cases. They now use the erroneous report as gospel to confirm their findings of Chemtrails. Naturally, the United States Government denies any such testing and the EPA calls the chemtrail conspiracy a non-scientific hoax.
The Canadian Government calls it unsubstantiated by science. The FAA, NA&S Administration, NOAA, NASA and a host of other organizations, both here in America and abroad claim the chemtrail conspiracy is nothing but a hoax. Numerous organizations including the NACA have investigated the fallout from the so-called chemtrails since before 1958 and found no evidence of any chemicals other than the natural propulsion fuels emitted by the jet engines. I realize this article will not stop the conspiracy theorists from spreading their nonsense but at least I am willing to investigate before I believe their crap. I put chemtrails right up there with Y2K nonsense and Global Warming.
In addition, the chemtrail conspiracy would have to include every government and every scientific organization including hundreds of university research labs. In short, it would have to be a world wide conspiracy. Try not to fall for this nonsense.

I seriously question your mental stability with you always debunking everything. Lengthy rantings of disinformation and taking up valuable thread space. Are you getting paid for this?
There is a lot of information about these Chemtrails. The sky was not threaded like it has been the last few years. These are not Contrails as you put it. I have lived near airports and airforce bases before in the 1990's and can not recall the sky being so threaded with Chemtrails. I remember clear sky's around Tucson AZ where Davis Monthan Airbase, national guard air base and the airport in city. Now it is full of Chemtrail ribbons as is northern Nevada which wasn't back in 2003 like it is now.
Give us all a break weedwacker.

Once again, an indication that "chemtrailers" simply fail to understand the distinction between cloud-"seeding" and large jet airplanes, at cruise altitudes, and their contrails!
In that video you can see the one airplane is a single-engine turbo-prop (By first guess was a de Haviland DHC-3 "Otter", but it isn't....I'm guessing next Brittan-Normal, will hunt for images....update, was easy!! Went to YouTube video link, and it told me!! "PilatusPC-6". Since I'm not familar with every little single-engine turboprop built from all over the world.... ... looked it up for you. But, the pilatus was in the back of my mind....they have another single, that I am more familar with. Faster, sexier and prettier-looking):
They also sometimes call it by its nick, the "Porter".
Read about its performance specs:
en.wikipedia.org...
I expect the "chase plane" with the camera is the same type. (yes, it is, according to the YT description). IF you can grab a screenshot of the altimeter, would be helpful. (The video lingers on the VVI....vertical velocity indicator...which is useless, and frustrating, since the altimeter is right nearby).
Anyway, to continue JUST on what they're doing in Thailand:
After filling up the plane with cloud-seeding chemicals, a small plane from Thailand's rain-making force takes of to gain an altitude of 5,000 feet (1,525 meters) chasing some small clouds.
www.thaipro.com...
(Airplane photos in that article I DO know instantly...Beechcraft [now "Raytheon"] King Air 200s). The King Air is a nice "corporate" type twin turbo prop, pressurized cabin, and capable of high cruise altitudes....BUT, for the purposes of cloud "seeding", will be conducted down low where the water is still liquid, not frozen, in order to make rain.

the information you provided is talking about the possible use of this. Even if some testing has been done, is this the answer to what chemtrails are? I cannot seem to get my head wrapped around what is believed about these things. 10 people have 10 different theories, and they all seem very far fetched.

Don't be ignorant.
It's NOT all faith based. In fact NONE of it is faith based.
Faith = Believing without seeing
I see Chemtrails all the time. : P
Sorry your brain is too small to comprehend why and how it can be done.

OK. So it looks like the word "chief" is a journalistic vernacular, not an official title and that Gunderson retired from the FBI in 1979, 32 years ago, which is longer than his career was (1951-1979). My issue (and I suppose it's a fairly minor one) is that using the phrase "Former FBI Chief" and similar phrases is an appeal to authority that isn't there. I started work in my profession a couple of years before he retired and now I've been retired going on 7 years myself. When I look back at my colleagues I still know a few people, but they are my contemporaries who will all be retired within the next few years. If I happen to make it 32 years retired the people who started in my profession after I retired will mostly be retired themselves and a third generation, many of whom were born after I retired, will be in charge, none of whom will remember me or know what I did when I was active.
So the point is that though I thank him for his service, I doubt if he has any meaninful ties to his agency, and there is nothing to indicate that his last position was anything other than a typical field office bureaucratic supervisor. Although he appears to have advanced normally in his career, it was not exceptional. Plus you cannot place him at the 'scene of the crime' at all. Even Bob Lazar has that distinction. Using his former profession to build him up in the eyes of potential converts is, I think, a disservice. He's just an old eccentric guy indulging in some public paranoia.

At least someone who worked for government can put some credence in the chemtrail claims......what in the world ARE they spraying anyways?

wow every one is still fighting over chemtrails being real or not? this thread has totaly been derailed and been thrown off topic!no matter what proof or argument anyone brings forth they will not persuade weed and his crew ! we all know they are real and trying to convince the debunkers is a complete waste of time and energy, its all ready been proven there is a patent for chemtrails plus what i see with my own eyes , and all the eyewitnesses , then the FBI man in the op actually came to ats , but did he make it here no, he was banned and his thread was 404d, lets just end this debate war now, its pointless!
we need too take this thread into a new direction, of getting to the bottom of this chemtrail nightmare , and not just online, we need to start calling people in your area demand answers! seek the truth , not argue with people like weedwacker.
