    Default Contrails/Chemtrails on west side

    Does anyone know what is going on with high flying jets leaving chemtrails or contrails in a measured east/west pattern over the west side of Detroit/Redford/Livonia? There must be 10 or more trails and they are still flying.

    Air/wind conditions are just right. It's condensation.

    Very strange that there were no contrails today,all day.

    Just an FYI, They never dump toxic waste on Wednesdays.

    you know it's chemtrails if your tin hat corrodes

    Again today,zero contrails out there.Some jets passing over central Oakland County are leaving a short contrail that dissapates quickly.What's going on?Anyone?Why I'm hooked on looking up at passing jets is beyond me.

    On both my mid-afternoon bike rides in southern Macomb county yesterday and today, there were many jets overhead with contrails. Yesterday's were short lived; air was too dry. This afternoon's lasted longer, depending on the altitude.

    I doubt it's condensation. This is a regular pattern and you can watch the planes flying from east to west and west to east, not taking off or landing from Metro Airport. Contrails leave a straight line from the plane, these look like clouds immediately after the tail section of the plane. See: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kcTvqiMNl8
    Also saw a Liberator and P-52 flying low toward Ypsilanti for whatever is going on this weekend at the Yankee Air Museum.

    Chemtrails? Are you implying that private companies under already microscopic scrutiny by the Feds/FAA are dumping chemicals while in flight? Do you have any idea how hard that would be to conceal? On the runway: "Those big tanks? None of your business, just pull that lever at 30,000, and over a large city"

    As much as I like a good conspiracy, this is one of the craziest things I've read lately. It's condensation and different altitudes, different temps, air pressure and it behaves differently. It's condensation. Like steam and fog essentially the same thing. No conspiracy here, just simple science.

    I enjoy the debate over "conspiracy theories" because they suggest two things.

    1) People really don't trust or believe the higher-ups in our society, which could actually be a good thing!

    2) They suggest the reality, but in an unreal way. The idea that a partnership of government and business would poison us daily and conspire to keep it a secret? Essentially true [[it's called "pollution"), but why fold that plain fact into an elaborate airborne scheme?

    Anyway, like a lot of discussion, there's more going on beneath the surface, and it's interesting for those reasons.

    Those wacky chemtrails again! I just know someone's up to something...

    I never implied a "conspiracy theory" and merely posted the YouTube video to show what I was seeing. But since it was brought it up, when's the last time you saw a contrail that stopped and then started again? Whatever it is/was appears to be over for the day. What I am seeing now are flights coming in for landing at Metro from the south and the north, but nothing from the east and west. Chemical spraying? I doubt it too, but there must be some explanation for this grid pattern. Maybe it's mapping photography, weather related, who knows. It's something I've never seen before.

    Easy does it. I think at some point on the chemtrails/contrails debate, you're going to have to concede that talking about it puts us in "conspiracy theory" territory. And that's not saying that so-called "conspiracy theories" are necessarily wrong.

    Loss of industry, loss of polluters. Cleaner air? Correlation? Probably.

    If you monitored windspeed, temperature, humidity, barometric pressure at different altitudes, you'd clearly see that our atmosphere is in layers regarding them all. Contrails stopping and starting is caused by the plane going from one layer to the next.

    I used to fly RC planes and it is amazing how abrupt the changes are at different elevations. There would be times just a few thousand feet up the windspeed made controlled flight almost impossible and on the ground cigarette smoke would go straight up, not a leaf moving anywhere.

    Do we have to go through this again so soon?

    When? Last Friday. I spend half my life in the air and I see contrails stop and start frequently. Variations in air temperature or moisture content is all it takes. You know the atmosphere isn't one homogenous mass, right?

    It's over for the day because the contrails drifted southeast on the 70 knot winds blowing over our heads today.

    Flights have been landing to the south at Metro all day long because the wind at the surface is out of the south and the runways point to the south. Flights have been flying east and west over your head all day long because the mass of this country's population lives in the northeast and on the west coast. Here's a snapshot from FlightAware from a few minutes ago:


    Plenty of east-west flights.

    I don't know about the west side but the ones over the east side are just plain crazy! 30,000 flights a day in this country and they had to pick on Detroit? The nerve.

    Thank you for yet another thread that illustrates the dismal level of scientific literacy in Detroit.

    For living by Metro, I see planes all the time. I also see contrails/chemtrails also. But yesterday I was even amazed, Why can I ever see the circle ones I seen posted like 6 weeks ago?

    Gannon has been enjoying the conversation.


    MikeM is such an apologist, and SO insistent that there is no such thing...that HE must be one of the conspirators, too. I knew it!


    Yesterday when those lines were being drawn converging on New York, I knew some discussion would ensue. Good. More people are looking up.


    Thanks for showing yet another picture with that precise X I spoke of in that Circle-formation discussion, MikeM. I have images of a series of them from my return road trip from Atlanta last month...one after another kept popping up in clear, blue sky.


    There are contrails, and there are CHEMtrails. Both exist. There is NO logical explanation for the latter, excepting the government is forging ahead with their weather and population experimenting from days gone by...this is not a new program, nor is it shocking in any way for those who pay attention.

    A good many folk believe this is how a few bad-minded people will try to effect the goal-set posted on the Georgia Guidestones.


    Funny how so many vehemently deny the mere existence of one type of trail only BECAUSE the other exists...

    Mmm hmmm. I sometimes have abdominal pain. I'm certain that it's caused by my twin who developed inside me while we were in utero. I can't prove it but I'm certain of it. I've been shown x-rays to the contrary but I know they've been doctored. I'm one of the few who are turned on to the secret agenda of the AMA, the government, academia, et al. Right now, I have a headache too.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgia_Guidestones

    From the Wiki on the Georgia Guidesones: "The message includes references to certain themes such as "maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature", "guide reproduction wisely", "improving fitness and diversity", "prize truth — beauty — love — seeking harmony with the infinite", and others, concluding with "be not a cancer on the earth — leave room for nature — leave room for nature."[6]"

    That settles it, these jets are spraying potassium nitrate [[saltpeter). The military puts it in everyone's coffee anyway. And did you notice how it was over Livonia? City council.
