I posted that because that is the study done by Dr Jim Haywood and others that involved the circular clouds. The study will never say the sent a plane out to make fake clouds so we can study them. Of course it is going to say the standard lines used by all the agencies involved..

No.
I have a very good idea. Those types of "UFO" are frequently posted.
That begs the question.
What exactly are we seeing that looks to be flying around the plume in this particular video?

Well if the first plane is cabable of flying without contributing to that mess then why don't we have the other planes do what it did?
It looks like the many many other planes that made the mess in the first place could fly at the same altitude (asuming that's the only difference) that the first one did and we could have much much bluer skies if that's really is all there is to it?
and how much lower would it take for the others to not produce those clouds.
You would think all of this could be avoided IF that was the intent rather than to create clouds. Perhaps it's intentional cloud creation to seed into or for other weather mod. and purposely not avoided? Possible?

Your reply seems unintelligable. What I'm saying is that whole mess in the sky could have easily been avoided as per the first plane shown flying in the video? Why wasn't it???

Sweet copter video - it is quite spooky, and I can see how the credulous would be amazed!!
As you say it's just frame rates - exactly like a strobe can be set so the spokes of a rotating wheel appear stationary.

Federal agencies identified 52 research activities, totaling about $100.9 million, relevant to geoengineering during fiscal years 2009 and 2010. GAO’s analysis found that 43 activities, totaling about $99 million, focused either on mitigation strategies or basic science. Most of the research focused on mitigation efforts, such as geological sequestration of CO2 , which were identified as relevant to CDR approaches but not designed to address them directly. GAO found that nine activities, totaling about $1.9 million, directly investigated SRM or less conventional CDR approaches. Officials from interagency bodies coordinating federal responses to climate change indicated that their offices have not developed a coordinated strategy, and believe that, due to limited federal investment, it is premature to coordinate geoengineering activities. However, federal officials also noted that a large share of existing federal climate science research could be relevant to geoengineering. Agencies requested roughly $2 billion for such activities in fiscal year 2010. Without a coordinated federal strategy for geoengineering, it is difficult for agencies to determine the extent of relevant research, and policymakers may lack key information to inform subsequent decisions on geoengineering and existing climate science efforts.
Examples of SRM approaches in the study include the following:
• increasing the reflectivity of the earth’s surface through activities such as
painting building roofs white, planting more reflective crops or biomass,
or covering desert surfaces with reflective material;
• increasing the reflectivity of the atmosphere by whitening clouds over the
ocean or injecting reflective aerosol particles into the stratosphere to
scatter sunlight; and
• space-based methods to use shielding materials to reflect or deflect
incoming solar radiation.
Examples of CDR approaches in the study include the following:
• enhancing biological, physical, or chemical land-based carbon sinks to
capture and store carbon in biomass or soil (carbon sequestration), or in
chemically reactive minerals (land-based enhanced weathering);

Few geoengineering experiments or modeling studies have been conducted, and major uncertainties remain on the efficacy and potential consequences of geoengineering approaches. GAO’s review of relevant studies and discussions with selected experts indicated that relatively more laboratory and field research relevant to certain CDR approaches exists, although most of this research was not designed to apply to geoengineering.
In contrast, few modeling studies or field experiments have focused on SRM approaches, according to experts and recent studies. Experts identified only one SRM field experiment with published results—a 2009 Russian experiment that injected aerosols into the middle troposphere to measure their reflectivity. Experts, as well as relevant studies, identified several major uncertainties in need of further investigation for CDR and SRM.
The paper describes the results of the field experiment on studying solar radiation transmission in the visible wavelength range through model aerosol media formed in the lower troposphere with the help of generators installed aboard helicopters.
Substantial uncertainties remain on the efficacy and potential environmental impacts of proposed geoengineering approaches, because geoengineering research and field experiments to date have been limited. GAO’s review of relevant studies and interviews with experts to date found that relatively few modeling studies for SRM approaches have been published, and only limited small-scale testing—primarily of carbon storage activities relevant to CDR approaches—have been performed.
Contrails are ice clouds with radiative effects similar to cirrus clouds. They are short-lived when formed in dry air but persist and develop into extended cirrus cloud layers when the ambient relative humidity exceeds ice saturation
