Trails in sky make some ask why

Two local musicians are researching mysterious trails in the sky.
Glenn Davis and Matt Goodwin, who are best known for playing at the Gun Club,
are part of a growing movement of people concerned about chemtrails, the
mysterious exhaust streams from jets which remain in the sky for hours
afterward. Unlike normal contrails from aircraft, chemtrails stay in the sky
and are usually seen in a grid pattern. The last few years, they say mysterious
cloud formations have been cropping up around the world.
The phenomenon has resulted in federal bureaucracies getting thousands of phone
calls, e-mails and letters from people who want to know what exactly is being
done. People have reported seeing unmarked white planes, and the white
chemtrails which can be in a tic-tac-toe shapes, according to an article in USA
Today.
The issue has been featured on various documentaries with former
government officials explaining how government tanker jets are spraying
aerosols in the air at high altitudes, as commercial traffic is routed below.
Goodwin is one of the people who wants answers. On Wednesday morning he
identified a grid pattern in the sky which remained for hours over State Street
in Beloit.
Davis urges people to start becoming aware of the chemtrails, watching the
skies with their binoculars. They can use the Web site which tracks flights, http://www.flightaware.com/, to see
which aircraft are accounted for and which aren’t. He said typically after a
grid pattern is spotted, that there will be a foggy haze and that people may
report increased breathing or sinus problems.
Eventually Davis would like to start an activist group, but for now just wants
to raise awareness of the issue.
Davis first heard about the theory in 2004 from Goodwin. He noticed the
mysterious grid patterns would linger as long as two to three hours and then
spread out and expand, creating a haze in the area. Soon he started taking
photos and videos of it.
As he started identifying the grids he grew increasingly worried about the
potential health risks. He believes there are harmful chemicals which are
leaving the chemtrails in the air for so long.
Davis has contacted local airports, the FAA and the EPA, but still hasn’t been
able to get any concrete answers. He is told that chemtrails are normal
condensation trails. Some have said that new types of jet engines could be
responsible for the lingering exhaust. Many scientists have refuted the theory
and prowl Internet chat rooms to try to correct what they believe is misinformation.
Back in 2000, the Environmental Protection Agency, NASA, the Federal Aviation
Administration and the National Oceanic and Atmosphere Administration joined
forces to publish a fact sheet explaining the science of contrail formation.
The Air Force has also refuted the theory.
However, Davis and many others still aren’t convinced. Web sites are full of
potential explanations including population control, weather control or forced
inoculations to protect the population in the event of germ warfare. Because
the government is not being open about what it’s doing, Davis said people are
prone to come up with some interesting theories on what is going on.
Davis believes it may be a weather warefare study being conducted by the U.S.
government in conjuction with HAARP, the High Frequency Active Auroral Research
Program.
HAARP, located in Alaska, is a scientific endeavor aimed at studying the
properties and behavior of the ionosphere, with particular emphasis on being
able to understand and use it to enhance communications and surveillance
systems for both civilian and defense purposes, according to the HAARP Web
site.
Davis however, believes HAARP may be more honed in on manipulating the weather
for warfare and that the mysterious tanker jets could be leaving mercury and
barium aerosol chemtrails in the air to act as a conduit to frequencies emitted
from HAARP.
Goodwin and Davis aren’t giving up on their investigations of chemtrails. They
say they’ve seen and recorded them. After three years of erratic weather in the
Stateline Area, a tomato blight and his own sinus problems and nosebleeds, he’s
convinced something is going on.
“Just look to the skies,” Goodwin said.
