Yeah..I totally agree... Most all of what we are seeing are indeed contrails. But I have seen some up close spraying from that C-130 I mentioned above. It never occurred to me though until just tonight....WHY was that plane outfitted for spraying?
These planes spraying the gulf...where did they come from? These are bigger than crop dusters. They can hold more spray. So can cover wider areas.
My biggest issue is where did they all come from? And why are they here? It almost has to be some large scale spraying project.
I woke hubby and we were both shocked by this.
There are no flights at that time of the night from our airports!!!
What business did that plane have being up so late, or actually, early in the morning?
WE are having winter during what is supposed to be summer here in Pretoria, South Africa.
think of this if 100,000 lbs. of an aerosol is put out at the rate of 500 parts per billion 1000 parts eq an oz how long would that trail be?

ok answer this why does one Jet plane have a long lasting trail and an other jet plane ie 767 727 does not ,
some times the make X's in the sky then in in hour or two the whole sky is... cloudy.
Some times they pass the direction other time pass by each other, and the temp drops by 3 to 4 degs
