| Chemtrails Over Sacramento 19 November 2003 To 4 April 2004 |
I’ve been monitoring the skies over Sacramento, California, for over 40 years now. In light of the fact that the number and persistence of these strange "lines" in the sky have mushroomed since the end of the 1990s, I derermined to conduct my own long term study of the phenomenon. So I began to take photographs of chemtrails over this city in November 2003. I don’t know what is being sprayed into the air we breathe, but it can’t be for anything good. In recent years, I've notice that our local weather forcasts have frequently included "fine particulates" as the primary pollutant in the air over Sacramento. Since the Central Valley is heavily involved with agriculture of all sorts, one might take this to be the dust raised by farming activities. But even in WINTER, and when it's raining outside? What is the source of these "fine particulates" when the ground is wet, the weather is rainy, and our prevailing winds come off the Pacific Ocean? It strikes me that the source may well be the near constant spraying project going on aloft. If this project were benign, it wouldn’t be so secret. And secret it is! Even NASA, the NOAA, and the National Weather Service have been enlisted to perpetrate the cover-up of the crime taking place above us. Before turning to my personal study of the phenomenon over my Sacramento area home, let's have a look at some of the general characteristics of chem-trails vs. ordinary jet contrails first, shall we? I’ve been watching aircraft since childhood in the late 1950s. I am very well aware of what a normal jet contrail is. I know what causes it, what it looks like, and how it behaves. These so-called chemtrails are NOT ordinary jet contrails, despite what NASA and the NOAA are saying on their websites. Note the first picture below, which is from NASA. |

According to this NASA website the photograph at left is what we should EXPECT to see when normal contrails are present. I must disagree vehemently! This website, by the way, is intended to “educate” little children on the subject! Under the circumstances, brainwash is a more appropriate word. |

Does anyone believe that these are mere jet contrails? |

| The
above photo is of what I call chemtrails. These persist for a very long
time; much longer than contrails which are extremely transient. Contrails
are the combustion exhaust from engines, be they jet or piston engines.
When the exhaust exits the machine, it is hot and contains water vapor.
THIS is what forms the contrail,
as the water vapor condenses, and freezes into tiny ice crystals, in the
cold air on high. Because the atmosphere at altitude is also VERY
DRY, the ice crystals sublimate rapidly, returning to the vapor
state in short order. Regular contrails can NOT
form at lower altitudes. There is too much humidity in the lower regions
of the atmosphere, and the temperatures are generally too high. Contrails
rarely last longer than a minute or two after the aircraft has passed.
Chemtrails on the other hand, last for hours. They spread all across the sky, creating a blanketing layer far in excess of the possible MASS in the exhaust emitted by a jet engine. Additionally, this writer has noticed that when chem-trails are present in the skies, there is frequently a very bad metallic taste to the air. Have YOU noticed this as well? See below for another photograph from NASA, which purports to show contrails as seen from orbit. |

Note the “grid” pattern. Also, bear in mind that this picture was taken at a minimum altitude of 150 miles (250km), AND from an angle. We are looking at an atmospheric phenomenon, which is at least 300 miles (500km) from the lens! |

| Ordinary, normal contrails could not, and would not, be visible from such a distance. In any case, contrails would never last long enough to create this blanket of material over such a wide area. And from whence does all this MASS come from?? We're looking at THOUSANDS OF TONS of material to make a layer like this in the atmosphere folks. We can only guess how many square miles / kilometers of continental territory are shown in this photograph, but the area seen here is huge. All of this caused by mere jet engine exhaust? I DON'T THINK SO! More photos of chemtrails seen from space HERE, and HERE. In addition, BOTH of the pages referred to have examples of REAL jet contrails as seen from orbit. |

This is a view of the southeastern United States from orbit. Can YOU see the patterns? These do NOT correspond with normal flight paths. There are numerous PARALLEL lines here, and commercial jets DO NOT fly like this. How many THOUSANDS OF TONS of material would it take to create these persistent trails? I can tell you this; the laws of physics dictate that jet engine exhaust alone can't account for this much MASS! |

Here is another photo of chemtrails taken from orbit, over northwestern Europe, at a minimum altitude of 150 miles (250km), and is probably much higher since we can see entire countries here. We can make out the lower part of the Danish peninsula at the top of the picture. Note the spray activity is concentrated mostly over Germany. Once again, simple jet engine exhaust can not account for this much MASS! Additional photos of chemtrails over Europe as seen from space HERE. |

This is what the "Real McCoy" looks like. These are contrails emanating from a jet plane passing over my home on 16 February 2004. One can easily see that this is a twin engine plane in the photo. There are two distinct contrails correstponding to each of the engines, and their exhaust. |
| Please note how the contrail dissipates rapidly. Real contrails usually only last a few seconds. In addition, can you imagine THIS being visible from SPACE? Neither can I... At the altitude of this jet, which is most likely at around 5 to 10 miles (8-17km), one can't even make out the shape of the aircraft itself, even in telescopic zoom, which was used to film this sequence. What would we see of it, or its contrail, from hundreds of miles / kilometers above in space? If you looked at the STS-107 and STS-114 chemtrail pages referenced above, you already know the answer. Contrails CAN NOT be seen from space without serious telescopic magnification. | |

Note that the gases, ice crystals, and carbon particles are nearly invisible now. Please bear in mind, that in order to persist, and spread all across the sky as chem-trails do, there would have to be orders of magnitude more MASS in the jet exhaust than the engines are capable of expelling one moment to the next. |

| In fact, MASS is the key to the difference between chemtrails and contrails. Chemtrails, whatever they consist of, contain enough mass to spread out and cover vast areas of the sky for hours at a time. For jet exhaust to do this, it would have to contain many, many tons of aerosol particles, which simply aren’t there. I will emphasize this issue of MASS over and over again. There is NOT ENOUGH MASS in jet exhaust to account for the widespread phenomenon of chemtrails reported all over the world. | |

In contrast to the ordinary commercial jet I recorded in flight on 16 February 2004, here is what appears to be a US Air Force cargo jet. This image is typical for a plane which is spraying chemicals. Please note that the "exhaust" comes from the entire span of the wings. There is also a heavily concentrated plume directly from the tail in the center as well, where there are NO engines. Please compare this craft with the one in the previous series of pictures showing a regular contrail. |

Is THIS a chem-spray plane? The plane is from the Boeing 707 family (Military versions known as C-135, KC-135, AWACS, EA-6 Mercury) It has no Unit or ID numbers anywhere. It does say it belongs to the U.S. Navy, and has a very small national insignia. The pictures were said to be taken in eastern Oregon, on a military air field. The photographer obviously shot from a parking lot through a chain-link fence. I acquired these photos from a page at the Jeff Rense website in March 2001. |

Many of the observed chemtrail planes have been described as being all white like this one. Over all, it looks like a normal Navy cargo / tanker jet. BUT, it does have a very evil looking nozzle on the tip of the tail. This marks the end of our examination of material mostly garnered from, or about, the government. We now move on to... |

SACRAMENTO PHOTOS |
At this point, we will examine a series of chemtrail photographs I took myself, between November 2003 and April 2004, from my own home. These were shot with a hand-held Vivitar 3300 1.3 mega pixel digital camera. The camera is a modest affair, but more than adequate for the task at hand. Amongst the events captured are chemtrails UNDER a layer of rain clouds. This is something I’ve never seen, or heard of before, in over five years of following chemtrail reports. There are pictures of chemtrails being laid at night also. The first group are the initial photos taken by me of this ongoing black project. These photos were taken on 19 November 2003 at dusk. |

This frame has blue lines added to indicate the various chemtrails sprayed during this day of rain in Sacramento. It is even admitted by the "experts" that CONTRAILS cannot form in the lower atmosphere, and these are in the RAIN! |

One must wonder WHY chemicals were being sprayed during a gentle winter rain. I might speculate that weather control was the goal here. |

| Next we will have a look at chem-trail pictures taken from my back yard on 31 January 2004 in mid-morning. I had been watching the final broadcast of the venerable TV show, Mystery Science Theater 3000, when I noticed these trails in the sky through my bedroom window. | |

This view taken just after Noon facing south. Note how the trails have spread, not dissipated like jet exhaust. This layer persisted for the rest of the day, drifting slowly toward the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the east of Sacramento. Could this mess be the source of the "fine particulates" our weather forcasters keep telling us are the primary pollutant in the air over Sacramento? |

Facing east, chemtrails are seen above and below the rising full Moon. Note that the lower trail, which has drifted further to the east, has spread out more than the fresh one above, laid only moments before the shutter clicked. |

This view to the south. We can see three parallel trails in the last photo from 4 February. Laid out like Neptune’s trident. Left, right, and center. These chemtrails eventually spread out and made the full Moon appear a sickly yellow that night. In over 40 years of sky observation, I’ve NEVER seen jet contrails spread out and paint the Moon yellow! |

The next series is from the night of 5 February 2004. My son and I were outside to video-tape a pass of the International Space Station, as part of the ongoing Project P.R.O.V.E. What we saw above us did not show well on these pictures, which are still frames taken from the 8mm camcorder tape. The Moon was one day past full, and partially obscured by the layer of chemicals which made it appear yellowish. We actually saw a jet plane in the act of laying chem-trails, and taped it. Unfortunately, it was too dark for our camera to show the greasy looking trail left behind the plane. Photo #1 is unretouched, and shows us how the layer was covering the Moon. Pictures #2 and #3 have been enhanced to bring out the chem-trails, and the last gives us a look at the running lights on the culprit caught “red-handed” in the act of spraying our air. |

This photo taken facing north. Here we have the red and green wing-tip lights of a jet seen to be spraying at that very moment in time. Do the crews of these planes know what they are doing? Do they KNOW they are spraying their own wives, children, mothers, and fathers?? WHAT are they being told about their mission? One can reasonably speculate that it is far from the truth... |

Saturday, 6 March 2004 was a busy one for the chem-trail planes. In the morning just before 8 AM, I took the next series of photographs. In the late afternoon, as my family were on our way home from an event in town, we witnessed and photographed even more activity. We noticed that the later spray work had moved east over the mountains. Was the target our Sierra snow pack? |

These two photos were shot whilst driving eastbound on Interstate 80 across the north side of Sacramento. The time was approximately 5 PM PST on Saturday 6 March 2004. Can you see the “tic-tac-toe” pattern forming over the mountains to the east? |

Our next pair of photos depicts chem-trail activity on the morning of 18 March 2004. We were in the midst of a late winter heat wave that week. Temperatures soared as much as 20°F (7°C) above normal, and we were well below average in our rainfall for the season. Are chemtrails designed to create artificial drought? The photos of 18 March show fresh trails that were “cut-off” abruptly, as if a valve were suddenly closed. This is not a common characteristic of jet exhaust contrails. |

Facing east. See how both trials are suddenly truncated? Not that the “upper” one exhibits a bit of “leakage” following the cut-off of the main flow. Jet exhaust doesn’t normally do this. Another example of the same kind of suspicious "cut-off" HERE. |

| Our next series of pictures show the activity of 20 March 2004 in mid-morning. I didn’t notice the chemtrails outside until they were already spreading across the skies. On both 18 and 20 March, the sky began as a clear cobalt blue vault above. That was soon to change on both days, however, as the chem-trail sprayers made our heavens into an oily yellowish mess before lunch. | |

We are nearing the end of this essay. The final series of chem-trail photos were taken in mid-afternoon on Palm Sunday, 4 April 2004. An upper air breeze churned earlier chem layers into "mare’s tails", whilst planes busily laid down more chemtrails, adding to what had been released at noontime. All of it eventually drifted east over the snow-clad Sierra Nevada Mountain Range. |

Common sense tells you that were these really jet contrails, the upper air winds would dissipate them in seconds. Once again, I ask, where is all this MASS coming from? |

2004 Jeff Challender |
Although these chemicals are first sprayed over Sacramento, they drift on the prevailing winds toward the Sierra Nevada mountains to our east. This is where they appear to congregate, and hang. Those mountains are where we obtain our water, from the winter snow pack. If this snow is being contaminated with chemicals sprayed by the government, for God Knows What Purpose, it's not only Californians who are being poisoned. Much of the food grown in California and irrigated with that water from the Sierras (In the form of rice, wheat, corn, fresh fruit, nuts, and fresh vegetables) is being contaminated as well. And that food is eaten all over the United States and Canada, as well as much of the world at large. WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON HERE?
*** I would sure like to know what "they" tell the flight crews who carry out their orders to spread these chemicals far and wide. After all, these people are spraying their own wives, children, mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, as well as their friends and acquaintenances! When someone wants to argue with you that chem-trails are mere contrails, ask them "Where does all that MASS comes from then?" That's the key point in dismissing the contrail / ice crystal argument. MASS! Imagine an old car that is burning oil due to bad piston rings. The blue cloud belching from its tailpipe IS nasty, but there isn't that much of it, and the cloud will dissipate rapidly. Can this car, by driving down one road through a small town, create a heavy blanket of smoke over the ENTIRE town? Of course not; there isn't enough MASS in that old car's exhaust. The same principle applies to chemtrails. Jet exhaust, known as a contrail, doesn't contain enough MASS to account for the phenomenon we call chemtrails. SO... |

In closing, I have a simple question for the reader. How does... This... |
