Are you seriously hinting that we were not aware of the prospect of chemtrails 20 years ago?
Are you sure they weren't talked about until 15 years ago? Why would you think that?
Chemtrails were being talked about then as they are now, however the talks were less detailed and the theories not nearly as elaborate.
Chem trails were being talked about during and right after Vietnam and possibly even before them. I know they were talked about then because of the theories that the weather modification used during Vietnam could possibly also carry poisonous chemicals dispersed to the masses through chemical spraying from airplanes - and I am not talking about crop dusting.
Ever heard of Agent Orange?
As technology and chemistry progressed, the air force admitted that chemicals like nerve gas, first accidentally discovered and used by the Nazis in the form of saran, tabun, soman, VX gas and other toxins were dispersed from the air by low flying war planes. In Iraq, there was the use of air delivered gas like mustard gas against both Iran and Iran in the early 1980's. More than 100,000 Iranian troops were killed from air dispersed chemicals.
“From March 1967 until July 1972, the U.S. military's Operation Popeye cloud-seeded silver iodide to extend the monsoon season over North Vietnam, specifically the Ho Chi Minh Trail. The operation resulted in the targeted areas seeing an extension of the monsoon period an average of 30 to 45 days.” (1) We know that a large amount of agent orange were also used in the early 1970's and the chemicals had long term damaging effects including birth defects.

You are exactly correct Witness2000 stating that White Bluff is NOT a flight path.
No matter what kind of dis-information some of these responders use, you and I know what you saw wed. 11/2/11 was not normal contrails.
the White Bluff, Tn area is the "outer marker" for the Nashville Tn airport. So the only real air traffic they get is when the planes are forced into a holding pattern, stacking up for landing in Nashville.
This means that NO other flights can use this air space, it is held in reserve for overflow landing planes. These aircraft are not producing contrails

I have been in Austin Texas for the last eighteen months and the whole cold air thing just doesn't cut it for me considering it was bloody hot here all summer and we still witnessed heavy plowing of the skies.

I believe that they view the "straight up to no where" chemtrails with satellites. To project the wind patterns and jet stream at different altitudes.
They can use the data from a test run to decide where to lay the main coverage. Just a theory
May be a theory but it makes alot of sense.
WITWATS is not a documentary - it is a bunch of people presenting their ideas as if they were factual, but without actually justifying them with anything more than junk "science" that has been proved to be junk.
Why bother?

May be a theory but it makes alot of sense. Coverage is coverage and it's a big sky. There have been a few days when winds have blown all the work away. Doesn't happen often but when it does - uh oh. Now that you mention...circles would also be a good way to detect prevailing upper winds. Thx for info.
One thing very common on ATS is laziness to actually do the research.

In answer to that, I have to say, to educate yourself.

I love an inquisitive mind. There are varying levels of understanding, and in this thread I see people asking questions, keeping it civil and to the point, even though they must trudge through the personal insults. I have a personal distaste for questionable information wrapped in sarcasm and insults. Sand box bullies.

Unfortunately with the chemtrail crowd, any kind of expertise is wasted, because it runs counter to their religion.
How is expertise somehow "puritanical" anyways? The Puritans were a religious movement, and those here with faith like zeal and unfounded belief system, well its not the pilots and meterologists here. Its the chemtrailers.
What side tries to tell the other side not to post, or to stay out of threads? The chemtrailers.
If they had their way, many of them would ban aviation and put pilots in jail. Probably meterologists and geologists too for that matter.
And by the way, here is that photo I was talking about, the real 777 interior photo during testing, along with date, location, aircraft N #. Lets make sure that when the chemtrail promoters post the version of it with the photographers name cut and all all copyright info gone, that the real version gets posted, instead

Its not me that is rigid, its facts that are rigid.
But what are even more rigid than facts, are the chemtrailers who disregard those facts, for not fitting into the conspiracy.
I am actually not rigid, I have over and over challenged chemtrailers to tell me where I am wrong, and if I get something wrong, I will gladly acknowledge it, and even thank the person who did it. When someone does point out somewhere that i am wrong, I do thank them. Its a matter of principle for me to do so. If someone is going to take time to correct me, I should take time to acknowledge it and be thankful that i learned something new.
Compare that to the reaction from chemtrailers, who not only do not acknowledge being corrected (with very rare exceptions) but then show outright hostility over it, or at the very least, just ignore it and keep going on like it never happened.
Thats rigid.
