He can call them whatever he wishes. Since we aren't able to test them, they may have been persistent contrails or they may have been chemtrails, we just don't know yet. Maybe we're seeing a nice mixture of chemtrails and contrails being laid at the same time, but who am I to say?
Many times than not, the terms are becoming more interchangeable. As they decide what to call the different types of geo-engineering, we'll discover more and more and know how to call each one. I'm still waiting to hear if they've decided whether or not to put cloud seeding under the geo-engineering umbrella. I believe they are at odds about this because if they did consider it geoengineering, they would be bound by certain treaties and wouldn't be able to use cloud seeding as a type of weather warfare. See how complicated things are becoming?edit on 10-3-2012 by Afterthought because: (no reason given)
Seeding such cirrus with very efficient heterogeneous ice nuclei should produce larger ice crystals due to vapor competition effects, thus increasing OLR and surface cooling.
A potential delivery mechanism for the seeding material is already in place: the airline industry. Since seeding aerosol residence times in the troposphere
climate sensitivity is very sensitive to upper tropospheric cloud cover and humidity, making cirrus clouds a logical candidate for climate modification efforts. Cirrus clouds also affect OLR more than other cloud types, with their modification directly addressing the radiation imbalance imposed by greenhouse gases
Since commercial airliners routinely fly in the region where cold cirrus clouds exist, it is hoped that the seeding material could either be (1) dissolved or suspended in their jet fuel and later burned with the fuel to create seeding aerosol, or (2) injected into the hot engine exhaust, which should vaporize the seeding material, allowing it to condense as aerosol in the jet contrail.

What the OP has is photos of things that look and behave exactly like contrails are known to look and behave like, in a sky for which he has provided misleading atmospheric information, and drawn obviously incorrect conclusions from the flight radar plot.
So give that the observed phenomena match something that is known, and his attempts to show they can't possibly be that are incorrect, the answer to the thread title question is obvious:
Nope.
Airlines can do it, and they couldn't put it in the jet fuel

This paper is a nightmare to those talking against geoengineering.

Prove it.
I gave all the pertinent data, Those contrails could not have formed by the planes on the radar, besides there were a great many more than were listed on the radar, the pics prove that also.
All I hear from your camp is denial.
A portion of those reading will fall for the trap, those that want to be secure in their beliefs... the mainstream media does the same thing night after night. Those that want to look at the data will see a different picture.

They spray the #, but it just falls to the ground and ocean and blows away in the wind, what if its keeping the heat in and keeping it from escaping, what if they are wrong on what they are doing? Doesn't look like they are doing over the oceans, and its just going to blow away anyway! Doesn't aluminum help cause Alzheimer's too! Great future these #s have given us and are creating for us!

Your radar image shows SIX planes flying parallel paths within a few minutes of each other. That seems exactly like what you saw.
I did not put these words in your mouth.
I have not changed my story no matter how many words you want to try to put in my mouth.
If, as you claim, conditions were not right for contrail formation, what did you take pictures of?
Conditions were not right for contrail formation.
I deny that the data you presented precludes the formation of contrails and show my evidence. That does not constitute obfuscation.
Your deny everything and obfuscate. You have not rebutted my OP.
OK, let's talk about that. I do not see large numbers of planes in your images. But it is difficult to explain the contrail at 8:54 (no plane visible) which appears to run from the northwest to the southeast (or vice versa, roughly). No such flightpath appears on the Flightaware shot. The location you've indicated seems to be between Lackey and Mousie on 550. Is that right? If you were closer to Emmalena the Flightaware shot would make sense.
Until you can explain the large number of planes flying overhead that were not on the flight aware radar and why ONLY those planes were leaving these persistent spreading contrails we have nothing to discuss.
The only plane on that list that would be visible in the photos in 5.
