1/. Firstly, what are"Chemtrails"?

According to some researchers, they are a form of covert climate control. In the words of William Thomas:

"Under the banner of some top-secret scientific agenda, the US military continues to weave chemical-laden contrails in the skies, causing health problems for unprotected people on the ground."

2/. Chemtrails Over Canberra? Date: Friday November 2, 2001.

by J. Citizen.

Note: September 2002: I haven't noticed chemtrails over Canberra since about March 2002. Between just before Christmas 2001 and mid-February 2002 there weren't any that I noticed. Then around mid-February I noticed Chemtrails on numerous days for the next month and a bit. Some new feedback comments have been added below.

Note: December 8 2001: on numerous days since November 2 (read below), the skies over Canberra have had similar unusual wispy clouds, like the sky is full of smoke. Also, the sunlight occasionally reflects an unusual array of colours from some of these. I've again noticed planes flying over leaving long "chemtrails" in a similar fashion to that on November 2 (read below). In comparison, I've also noticed planes leaving normal short vapour contrails, which dissapear after 10-30 seconds. In contrast, the apparent chemtrails last for hours, even days. We normally do not have much air traffic.

November 2, 2001: At midday I went outside to catch my bus to work. I noticed the sky was streaked with lots of wispy, dissolving "clouds". Most stretched from horizon to horizon, in a north to south direction, apparently across the entire length of Canberra. I took a few photos, some of which can be seen via this page. The sky certainly does not normally look like that here.

However, these photos, being only little parts of the sky, don't portray the full scope. There seemed to be about 10-20 trails in the sky. One half of the sky was covered in a general wispy haze, that contained apparent lines of various thickness which went from the north to the south of the viewable sky. After taking a few photos I noticed one of the planes flying north to south. It was very high up.

A few minutes later I saw another plane flying south to north on the other side of the sky. A saw a few other planes (or some of the same ones) emitting these trails over the next 30 or so minutes. I figured, from the look of the sky (numerous wide, dispersing trails) that the planes had been "laying trails" for at least several hours. We rarely have airplanes fly over where we are.

Later in the day, when I next went outside at about 4p.m., the skies over Canberra (as seen in the city area) were covered with hazy clouds, with some normal puffy clouds here and there. In the evening and night, my eyes stung quite a lot and my joints ached. I have no idea whether this was anything to do with the Chemtrails or due to something else (like fighting off a cold?). I doubt that whatever is in the "Chemtrails" (some say aluminium), if that's what they were(!), could have fallen to earth level so fast, but how would I know.

I've read about cases of biological and chemical experiments done by the U.S. military over U.S. cities. For that (and a million other reasons) I was always glad I did not live there, but in quiet Australia. And now it seems like it's maybe happening here. Yikes!

In any case, I'm no cloud nor air-traffic expert. Though the sky and planes seemed a bit unusual for around here, for several of us, so I thought I'd inform folk just in case others know more. And if, in the possibility that this "chemtrails" thing has substance in it: be sure you read the article by William Thomas listed at the top of this page! ;-)

"Hello, I felt compelled to add to the ever increasing opinion on chemtrails.
I am a resident of Sydney and travel to the Mount Victoria area in the Blue Mountains most weekends.I have for approx 4 years been witnessing chemtrail planes and clouds over the Blue Mountains region and as far out to Bathurst on most days.There appears to be some truth as far as i can see, that they tend to spray on low wind days and always in front
of a "weather Front" approaching generally from the west or south west.You can clearly see the real clouds from the front and the chem clouds mixing.
Last saturday there were 2 planes over Lithgow spraying at the same time.
I have also come to notice that spraying is being conducted over the Sydney region under the cover of darkness, as when i wake early the sky has all the telltale signs of spraying. I am almost certain that it is a weather experiment based on my observation of rainclouds literally getting the rain sucked out of them from the chemtrails.If the weather front is strong
enough even the chemtrails will not stop it raining though, as witnessed at Bathurst and in the mountains this weekend.
Personally i would like to hire my own plane and follow a sprayer, with a few commited people this could certainly be achieved.As an investigator by trade i'm adept at finding solutions to situations, but getting the talkers and the doers moving to achieve something is a different matter. Im sure one day it will all come to light, in the meantime i will continue to get sprayed" Murray, 12-October-2002.

Email : "hi. chemtrails have been experimented with over USA and australia for a few years now.... wouldn't be surprised if they're being used right now somewhere in the m-east......? there's quite a lot of internet-related info on them i believe..... cheers b"

Email: "Hello. I grew up some two kilometers from small military airport in the south west of Sweden. An what I think you have proven with the aid of a few photos is the fact that a few planes flew by. The engines create these long "clouds" if there is enough water in the air. It is probably just water, and perfectly safe. I could see this phenomenon almost every day from my home between 1973 and 1989, and I am not even dead yet..." Karl

Reply: "Hi Karl, thanks for the letter. The thing is, planes rarely fly that way, especially so many. Furthermore, when planes fly by here they don't normally leave contrails (normal vapour trails), as I suppose they are at a different altitude (vapour contrails apparently only form at certain altitudes). At the least I don't notice many planes and I look at the skies fairly often. Also, the sky hardly ever looks like that in Canberra (lots of contrails/chemtrails). Planes landing in Canberra would be at a much lower altititude. And from what I know (from landing in Canberra) the approach to the Canberra airport is a long way east of here, so we don't get to see the planes that land there. They might have been normal planes flying further south or north, but I/we don't usually notice any evidence of them if it's regular.

I've seen contrails from planes before. Hopefully that's all they were. In case they weren't I thought I'd post this web-page. Maybe others can find out more. If you read the article at http://www.nexusmagazine.com/chemtrails.html it explains more about "chemtrails" and how they apparently differ from contrails. Thanks," J.

Email: "ok what strikes me as bit strange is that if it is so covert why is not "normalised" ie why don't the planes spray messages like happy birthday Mum or something so they just look like sky writers? Then no one would think twice about it. It is just because know one knows what they are doing sinister or not, that it makes you wonder what those bastards are really up to.....but then of couse you may have let your eyes wander somewhere they shouldn't have eh? I've seen stuff like that from time to time since when I was a kid, it never made me sick though. Don't get me wrong I am not closed minded it's just on the balance of probability of this one. I would be more inclined to believe it if they more specific with the physics of what was trying to be acheived by these chemical trails. However at the moment I will file this with the story about what appears to be ham radio antennae which are suppose to be part of some secret energy grid." R

Reply: "likewise. It certainly looked unusual for here that day, but I certainly don't claim to have proof that it was 'chemtrails' being laid down. Just alerting people to the possibility." J

Email: "People get sick with asthma, allergy, workplace and stress related problems all the time not to mention the placebo effect." R

Reply: "Of course." J

Email: "Are there statistic showing increased workplace absences after these events which cannot be attributed to other causes like exploding pentagons?" R.

Reply: " i've no idea - it would require someone who has a lot of time on their hands to research such a thing." J.

Email: "did you see what kind of aircraft?" B.

Reply: "no, they were very high up. Looked silvery white." j.

2nd Email: "......do keep me informed. What you're describing sounds more like a backlog of commercial flights. I've been doing all the media analysis work for airlines lately and there's been a lot of activity in the wake of Ansett's collapse. They looked like normal contrails to me. Did you notice anything aberrant about the weather - did it change suddenly? I know the Russians actually have their weather control unit as a commercial enterprise now! Hmmmmmmmm........" B.

Reply: "Hopefully that's it (ie. normal contrails and a backlog of air traffic). I've never really seen the sky look like that around here - sort of smokey with lots of airplane trails. With the above photos, it doesn't show the full sky, ie. one half in particular looked full of dissipating airplane "trails". Also, for planes to be that high over Canberra, I'd suspect they must be bypassing Canberra. We don't have much air traffic going over our way in any case. Oh well, who knows! If I 'd never read about chemtrails I wouldn't have even worried ;-)" J.

Email: "Crazy... I'm surprised they'd dare do it over the whole city... I was under the impression Canberra was off limits... there are much fewer deformed people here than in Sydney... so far...." John.
