Today I was driving into Center harbor, there was not a cloud in the sky and we noticed several jet planes leaving a long trail of clouds that extended from one horizon to the other. We drove up to the top of Coe Hill and counted 10 planes crisscrossing the sky and leaving a chemical trail that lingered into a milky haze. It extended as far as the eye could see.......from Alton bay, to the White mountains. I googled it up and found some disturbing information.

Contrails (condensation trails) are simply that, the byproduct of the plane engines. If the gov't were really 'spraying' us, why do it when it's bright and sunny, why not wait for night?????

Listen to Coast to Coast AM overnights and you will be convinced that the government is killing us with Chem Trails, that shadow people invade our space, that time travel is possible... Yep! Gotta give it to that AM talk radio! Duckandcover! |

Ok,you guys....if you get abducted, don't blame me
![]() ![]() Actually,I'm not worried about a government plot......just surprized at those trails. Regular contrails dissipate a few hundred yards in back of the plane, but these stretched from horizon to horizon and didn't seem to go away.....didn't see any UFO's, though. |

The long drawn out trails that you see are the product of the planes emptying out there holding tanks.

There are several reasons that contrails can become extended. There are also reasons that the contrails will converge, overlap, dip, etc. It is all in the atmosphere and how the upper air winds are blowing as well as how the vortices created by the aircraft interact with the condensation created.
You will also notice these contrails more at this time of year because the air is clearer and dryer. Google, aircraft contrails and the crow instability effect. |

Personally, I believe it is caused by the SL, allowing the full effects of GW and traffic by those d**n tourists!

Very funny, Weekender....now that you mention it, I thought I heard some "plunk", plunk" sounds as they passed over.
Thanks for stickin' up for me tis....you may be the only person on the forum that thinks I'm sane ![]() |

I noticed an unusual amount here in Manchester also.Probably 12 or so.I think normally the upper air currents disperse the contrails so they don't last long.I surmized at the time that the winds at that elevation were probably non existant.

There are no government planes flying that spray chemicals into the air for any reason. The planes you see on such "irregular patterns" are mostly commercial airliners either coming from Europe over the Atlantic. What would you consider "regular patterns"? Do you know what the “regular patterns” are? Then how can you say what “irregular patterns” look like? Contrails are of condensed water vapor made by the exhaust of aircraft engines. As the hot exhaust gases cool in the surrounding air they may precipitate a cloud of microscopic water droplets. If the air is cold enough, this trail will comprise tiny ice crystals. The reason they get bigger is the wingtips of the plane create wingtip vortices, also know as wake turbulence which creates two columns of spinning air behind the airplane. This is what causes the contrails to spread out and dissipate. (The winds aloft help too) When people see rainbows in the contrails they assume they are chemicals and that the government is to blame. Get a clue Actually, you'll see more contrails when there is more upper atmosphere mositure. When the moist air is heated in the engine, then cools as it exits, the moisture is what freezes into ice crystals and becomes the contrail |

Eventually, the moisture disperses into the surrounding, somewhat drier air just enough to no longer drop below the dew point and the contrail basically dries back up. How long this takes might be bit of a function of the aerodynamics of the plane and engine, which determines how well the exhaust gasses mixed into the local atmosphere. Mainly, however, it's a function of how close the atmosphere was to the dew point before the jet passed by, as well as what the prevailing winds aloft were after the plane passed by that determine how long the elevated moisture trail takes to dissipate, dropping the dew point again. Sometimes the contrails last a minute or so after the plane passes, (indicating a medium amount of pre-existing water vapor), sometimes there isn't any contrail at all, (indicating a "dry" atmosphere at that flight level), and sometimes they can last an hour or more (indicating a more closely "saturated" atmosphere. If the air is already completely saturated, you already have visible moisture, aka a cloud. ![]() Again, it depends mainly on how close the atmosphere already is to the dew point before the plane passes through the area (and at the altitudes typical of contrails, "dew" usually means ice crystals, which I suppose might last even a bit longer afterwards too.) |

Two observations that complement the conversation here.
From time to time at work, I get to see air being evacuated from vacuum chambers and it is always amazing how much water vapor condenses out of the air during the pressure drop. A cloud bank forms in the chamber. My understanding is that the temperature drops from the pressure drop. Another demonstration of the pressure drop causing condensation can be seen sometimes on the tip of an airplane wing where no combustion is going on. The pressure increase as the wing approaches changes to a pressure drop on the other side and you can see the vapor trail. |

Well, Samiam, guess you and I are the only "kooks" on this forum. No one will convince me there is not a difference, so it will just have to be.

The planes continue to fly as a distraction. If and when any investigative study is ever done, you would find that all modern military planes have 100% inert exhaust gases as it relates to mind and population control substances.

About this time of year, every year, the subject seems to pop up in various places. I think trfour nailed it with this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contrail Take a look at the changes in the upper atmosphere this time of year, dew points are lower, temps are lower and the contrails last much longer. Maybe someone like Rose, who understands the atmosphere better than most of us, could give enlighten us. On clear days the upper atmosphere is dry and contrails persist.
Several years ago there were a lot of stories and letters to the editor in the Conway Daily Sun about contrails and one gentleman in particular was convinced it was a government plot.

AM radio was "on the ropes" just 25 years ago: The resurgence of AM programming has found those of us "on the road" educated—if not wide-awake and entertained. I learned of the "Moller Sky-Car" through the eariest C2C-AM version, and posted that information here at this forum. Today, the "Sky-Car" is being considered by the military. Also attempted by the military is an example of para-psychology: "remote-viewing". (Also a staple programming of "C2C-AM"). Predictably, "remote-viewing" was a complete flop and a complete waste of taxpayer money. I credit "The Bruce Williams Show" with some of my better financial decision-making, "Money Talk" with other beneficial decisions and "The Kim Komando Show" with updates on consumer electronics. Her earliest advice has kept my "Windows Me" computer (Millennium) running fine these past eleven years! Anyway, "Coast-to-Coast-AM" has morphed from their best days—with the steady hand of host Art Bell—into utter goofiness. They still include the occasional "real-world" story to keep that fraction of the listening audience who seek real knowledge. (A technique from psychology known as "random reward scheduling"). Their "Chem-Trails" programming has spawned several websites devoted to that conspiracy. (See also, "Aerosol Crimes"). ![]() C2C-AM once hosted an eminent American scientist, the late Dr. Stephen Jay Gould; however, most of their nuttiest guests have "Dr." in front of their names—to the extreme embarrassment to anyone who's worked for a degree—and a British accent. ![]() There's a reason "C2C-AM" is limited to the "wee hours", and must reach out across the entire planet with a half-dozen toll free telephone numbers! ![]() ETA: A message to member Airwaves, and others unconcerned with media bias: 1) The new host, George Noory, was often vehemently anti-war; however, since the election—not a peep! ![]() 2) Just now, I caught the last few minutes of today's C2C-AM show: they are revising the origins of Christianity. ![]() Last edited by ApS; 11-12-2009 at 04:40 AM. |

I used to listen to Coast to Coast sometimes when I couldn't sleep and when Art Bell hosted it. But I couldn't agree with you more as far as the way it is now-utterly goofy. I can't stand it and never listen to it. Shadow people and ghosts etc. they can't do anything else. It is true what you said though, it sounded crazy when you first heard it and then you find out it is indeed true or it is exactly what the gov. is doing. Too bad they lost Art Bell.
