ChemtrailChemtrail is a name used by some to describe certain kinds of trails visible in the sky behind high-altitude aircraft. Such trails are usually referred to as contrails and ascribed to condensation of water vapor in the aircraft exhaust. Those who use the word chemtrail maintain that the phenomena they observe have an appearance different from those of contrails, and are not consistent with the known properties of contrails. They believe that these trails indicate some kind of chemical spray. The term "chemtrail" should not be confused with other forms of aerial dumping (e.g. crop dusting, aerial firefighting, or with the use of smoke trails at airshows); it specifically refers to covert, systematic, high-altitude dumping of chemicals, generally for some illicit purpose as part of a vast conspiracy. Possible conspiratorial explanations include atmospheric and weather modification, biological warfare, mind control, or purposes associated with a New World Order. The chemtrail theory is relatively new, apparently first achieving prominence in mid-to-late 1990s (http://www.csicop.org/si/2001-11/conspire.html, http://www.navarrone.com/contrails/chemtrails1.html). Chemtrails have been discussed on talk-radio programs hosted by Art Bell and Jeff Rense, who frequently deal with other paranormal and conspiratorial topics. According to a FAQ posted at the Rense website, "chemtrails (CTs) look like contrails initially, but are much thicker, extend across the sky and are often laid down in varying patterns of Xs, tick-tack-toe grids, cross-hatched and parallel lines. Instead of quickly dissipating, chemtrails expand and drip feathers and mares' tails. In 30 minutes or less, they open into wispy formations which join together, forming a thin white veil or a 'fake cirrus-type cloud' that persists for hours." Clouds formed by joining chemtrails have been reported to create a two colour spectrum of orange and yellow. According to Clifford E. Carnicom, operator of the "Aerosol Crimes and Cover-ups" website, his analysis of samples taken after such observations show them to contain aluminium, barium, calcium, magnesium and titanium. He also states that particles of fiber have also been isolated from samples in areas of reported chemtrail activity. "Chemtrails" are mentioned in House Bill HR 2977, the Space Preservation Act of 2001, introduced by Congressman Dennis Kucinich, where it appears as one of a list of "exotic weapons system" to be banned under the bill. Proponents of the reality of chemtrails point to this as official acknowledgement of the possibility, at least, of such weapons system. "Chemtrails" are not mentioned in the version of the bill re-introduced by Kucinich in 2002 as HR 3616 or in 2003 as HR 3657. Skeptical response Skeptical groups, including the CSICOP, assert that contrails normally exhibit a wide variation in appearance and that the descriptions and photographs of "chemtrails" are perfectly consistent with those of ordinary contrails (http://www.nmsr.org/pilotsvu.htm, http://iangoddard.net/contrail.htm). They also voice various objections to the idea of chemtrails, as outlined below. - If there were any truth to the theory it would require a massive and total cover-up operation involving hundreds of thousands of aviation employees, service businesses, airlines and/or military personnel all over the world, which seems incredibly unlikely.
- Releasing a thin cloud of spray above 30,000 feet (over five miles above sea level) is likely to be highly ineffective, due to high-altitude winds unpredictably dispersing any hypothetical spray over a massive area, at extremely low concentration (http://www.navarrone.com/contrails/chemtrails1.html).
- Depositing chemtrails would surely be extremely expensive and inefficient. (Why not just drug the water supply, for instance, for a fraction of the cost?)
- Some aircraft accused of depositing "chemtrails" may be identified and inspected, and clearly do not contain special spraying apparatus or spray storage tanks as would be expected.
- Official and governmental bodies have consistently denied the existence of such spraying (e.g. http://www.carnicom.com/taylor1.htm, http://www.carnicom.com/af1.htm) — although for many conspiracy theorists, these denials only serve to confirm the existence of a conspiracy.
