I'm sure the government has the ability to do a lot of nefarious stuff to me. However, just because they have the ability doesn't mean that anything I think they can do, they are doing (unless someone proves to me that they aren't). If that were the case, I would be afraid to wake up and leave the house in the morning.

IMO there is plenty of reason to "assume" that the past known programmes have not continued - the same records that show they happened also show they stopped.
It seems your suggesting the instrument they use does not make a continuous data record, it only takes it every so often and there could be layers of different air...
So you're throwing speculation into it, not refuting the data.
... cast speculation on it by any means. Sorry, I'm not buying it.
All things being equal, the more likely answer is usually the simplest... these are not contrails.
What they are I don't know.
But I've read a lot of different papers proposing different things they want to spray.

Well they didn't tell you last time so why do you think they would now??
The FACT that they are capable and have done this in the past is irrefutable.
So you are only arguing if they are still doing it, not if they can or have..
I'll leave this side of the debate at that..

I grew up in Oklhoma. And my brother was a jet mech. Tinker AFB was the B52 home and The B52 needed to use an afterburner at times. And those were the engines he worked on.

What are you talking about? What does your question have to do with the topic at hand? Are you just trying to be funny? Everybody wants to be a comedian. Too bad you're not a very good one. It was so funny I forgot to laugh.

There's that, and the fact that conditions conducive to contrail production can be highly localized.
The atmosphere in one region of the sky that the readings were taken may NOT be conducive to trail production, but just a few hundred meters away (where no readings were taken), the conditions may be favorable for contrails.

I don't feel I got taken at all. Just because the airplane didn't have all the equipment needed for flight at the time it was photographed, doesn't mean it wasn't being modified and repaired. For all we know that plane might be in use right now. Can you tell me beyond a shadow of a doubt that the airplane is not in use?

One reason I'm posting this video is that at ...1:02 - 1:18...... they show some sacks labeled barium chloride and then show a close up of dust particulates labeled aluminum oxide. I can't prove they are real but everyone can judge that for themself. I also agree with the text in the video.

Besides, I already explained why I posted the video. I was giving an example of a private company capable of doing it.
