The People Continue to Speak on Chemtrails

Victoria Hardy
In the early 90’s I was a photographer for an alternative newspaper, my focus in that position was people, but my real love was landscapes. In my free time I would pack up my camera and just drive, looking for beauty in the world and there was always much to be found. Last night I pulled out those photos and began examining the skies in each one, seeking those elusive ribbons overhead that I keep hearing are just normal contrails and folks, they were not there. I have lost count of the number of emails I have received with the last two articles on chemtrails, but the overwhelming emotion in most seems to be fear and we need to remember that fear, and strong emotions like fear, lowers our immune response and we must rise above that emotion. As the emails continue to come to me from far and wide, I will continue to share, because I think it is empowering to know we are not alone.

A former Air Force pilot from outside of Washington, DC, writes, “Yesterday the sky was blanketed with chemtrails from horizon to horizon. They were sprayed about every two miles and eventually totally obscured the otherwise clear sky. It must have taken quite a few tankers to accomplish the task. They were laid down east to west to take advantage of the winds, which were out of the northwest. Normally they are laid down north to south due to the prevailing westerly winds. The trails do not follow the established jet routes so they are not associated with regular commercial traffic. As a former air force pilot, I know what a normal contrail is.”

A hiker from California writes, “The chemtrails are very obvious, in-your-face, and no one I speak to wants to talk about them. I live in a beautiful area with a mountain and redwood forests, and I used to hike all the time, but the sight of those plumes and the ugly, hazy light conditions they produce, have dampened my desire to get out.”

A rancher from Texas writes, “Over the last seven years the rain patterns have changed very much for the worst. I've seen ponds dry up that have had water for 50 years or more. Hay crops turn yellow; tomatoes don’t grow right, melons with stunted growth and old trees dying. All of these events have one common factor, big, white, silent planes spraying chemtrails to form huge man made clouds.”

From Minnesota, “I haven't been able to get anyone to believe me or even look up and check them out... I see them almost every time I look up.” From New Jersey, “We have been sprayed during the last few days here in coastal N.J. This has been going on for years.” From Florida, “We’ve been witnessing the chemtrails for months and the skies changing from clear to cloudy. Most planes seem to come from the south and some days it is very intense.”

From West Virginia, “One convincing moment for me, was seeing a normal jet contrail laid down beside an obvious chemtrail. This tells me it's not weather conditions causing 'normal' contrails to linger in the air.” From Virginia, “We watched several planes come in from the ocean and just as the planes came over the land, the spraying started. We watched these planes through high-powered binoculars and noticed that all the planes were painted white with no visible markings.” From New Mexico, “I live in a small village and we are not a major flight path, yet our skies, from time to time, are packed with planes, leaving behind the ugly trails and filmy skies being vigorously reported by so many others.” From Ohio, “No more clear blue skies anymore. Yesterday, they started at 8:00 in the morning. And there were so many of them.” From Colorado, “I had never seen so many trails until I moved to this area.”

I am also hearing from outside of the United States, from Thailand, “They are not as heavy as in USA or UK, but the sky is full of chemtrail mist all the time.” From Australia, “The trails are laid out before the rains and storms approach, causing then to fizzle out. The result is no rain and lots of lightening which causes many bush fires.” From the United Kingdom, “I first noticed unusual trails about 9 months ago... Unusual flight paths of very high altitude planes that left trails in clear blue skies, criss-cross patterns usually every 2-4 weeks, followed by clear blue skies turning to cloud.”

Many of the emails speak of suffering from nosebleeds, upper respiratory infections, headaches and sudden arthritic conditions. And others have sent quotes from our Native American ancestors predicting illness from ribbons or spider webs in the skies. A lot of the notes speak of apathy of their peers, political leaders, television weather personnel and those in the military.

The good news is we are beginning to face our fears and stand up. For those of you in Los Angeles, Kathy Ann Ornstein from The Right to Breathe Healthy Air is joining the Answer Coalition on Saturday, March 17th, 2007 at 11:30 am on the corner of Hollywood Blvd. and Vine for a rally. And Cheryl Nelson O’Brien has put together a petition to send to Washington that is in need of signatures. (
