I've watched high-altitude jets lay down a contrail (chemtrail?) at a high altitude that seems particularly large and then see three more jets lay down parallel lines of cloud in seeming formation at twenty minute intervals.  It's uncanny how these clouds spread out and last for hours instead of dissolving like the contrails of my youth.  Other than those observations...

Chi occasionally gets clouds like this. I think it's from the winds aloft that blow them sideways and bunch them up.

I remember Black Monday rather well.  We survived it and will survive this.  Now seemed like a good time to get this stuff off my chest and act cathartically about the subject.  If I took this stuff seriously, I would be afraid to step outside.  Life goes on, bra ...

For what it's worth, I just spent 3 weeks driving from the Pacific to the Missisippi and back in a big loop, and didn't see any unusual cloud activity.  Some storms, certainly, but that's to be expected in for this time of year.

Also, from personal experience from being sick at home during Black Monday in '87 (mere weeks after I had decided to take the plunge and invest in the stock market for the first time), watching TV (especially the talking heads) will drive you crazy.  I suggest getting some good books to pass the time and concentrating on your own recovery, and let all this stuff blow over ;-)

 

So here I sit, recovering from some surgery (results in a couple of weeks), watching the talking heads, reading newspapers, talking to neighbors, customers, surfing the raft, and generally soaking up all the doom and gloom circulating in these here United States.  It seems that the sky is falling and all holy financial hell is breaking loose.

Well here's where it gets hinky, at least to me.  I look up to see what is falling from the sky and all I see are fake clouds.  Yes, I know that they are called other things which have certain connotations, but I won't use that term here, at least initially, without feedback and observations from others.  At least here, in the Cleveland, Ohio area, the activity of fake cloud making has been going on for at least the 5 years that I have been paying attention to the subject.  Meteorology has always been an interest of mine and I have been fascinated by clouds and storms, yada, yada.   Lately, the activity has had me taking more than the usual amount of pictures, especially since the first week of July, 2008.  While all this political crap has us all muttering and grumbling and generally hanging our heads low, fake cloud making has gone into overdrive here and the sky has become filled with these fake clouds, that make what would have been deep blue, cloudless skies, overcast, hazy and bright white. 

There was an interruption of this activity during Labor Day weekend, when more than the usual amount of people are outside and possibly looking up to the sky, commenting about the weather as people do when they are hanging out, BBQing or golfing or whatever. 

So what is with these fake clouds, any one else been noticing them in their area.  Most people in urban areas would not notice this activity due to the narrow vertical view of the sky.  Those of us that live in rural areas, with extended views of the horizons get a much larger view of the sky and might see things a little differently.  I have posted below some of the pictures I have taken of this activity and will include the link to the saved pictures.  I am not good with the picture borders and getting the click here for larger thing right. 

 

THEY SURE MAKE PRETTY SUNSETS !!!







These are all from my back yard, taken over the past 3 to 4 months or so.

Its not too hard to see that these clouds are man made by large aircraft flying organized patterns for this purpose.  These clouds are not random events or inexpensive to make, and must have government cooperation for the purpose.  These are not contrails from commercial aviation.  I saw a U shaped trail with a turning radius of about a half a mile in August, where someone forgot to turn off the "smoke".  No commercial airliner makes this tight of a turn in normal flying operations.  In the series of these pictures you can see the "trails" and see how they break up into very thin spirally long clouds that at casual glance look real.

 Anyone else notice this stuff in their locality?  The obvious questions include:

• What are they and what purpose do they serve.
• Who is paying for it.
• Why do we need fake clouds.
• And why does the government deny these events.

All kinds of things are being run down our throats by the powers that be.  And make no mistake; these fake clouds are part of it.  Comments ?  Does anyone care about what they are breathing, or is the rising rate of Asthma just a coincidence ?  Call me crazy, but don't call me stupid.  I have avoided the copy and paste stuff.  These are my own thoughts in my own words based upon my own observations.  Common sense allows me infer some untoward motives behind fake cloud making.

So while you are being distracted by your TV and the 700 Billion dollar question, remember to look up to the sky and see what is going on right above your own nose.  It can't just be here in Cleveland or is it ?

So either this thread will die or maybe others have their own pictures and observations.  Just another toss of spaghetti on the wall to see if it sticks.
