- Attached are some contrail photos that
I took today Saturday 2/13/99. The time was 10:00 AM and the location was
La Canada, CA.
-
- These contrails were very curious to
me so I captured them for analysis.
-
-

-
-
- Pictures 1 through 4 are in sequence
across the sky from South East to North West. Pictures 5 & 6 show
a contrail that has just formed to the south of my position. I believe
this new contrail was directly over the downtown area of Los Angeles.
There was about a half an hour between the two crossed contrails and the
new one in the distance.

- There were several other contrails in
the far distance and while there was no exact pattern to their behavior
they exhibited a curious starting and stopping in the air. In other words
they just start at a point in the sky and they just stop. In my past experience
contrails usually extend from horizon to horizon.

- During the time I was observing I saw
no aircraft producing the contrails. The most peculiar aspect to these
contrails is how they fanned out to cover a large area. I have seen this
before but not to this extent. I am hopeful that others will send in other
photos and reports so that we can determine the exact pattern if any to
this "mystery spraying".

- Hi Jeff...
-
- Just read Ron's e-mail that you posted
on your site regarding contrails over Western Mass and North Western Conn.
I live in the Albany/rensselaer county area of New York State, just across
there border from where this last batch of contrails were noted. I can
confirm that what Ron has said is absolutiely true. In my area, on the
same day and time, there were anywhere form 20-30 parallel and cross-hatched
contrail-like patterns the sky.
-
- They began in the morning and throughout
the day just lingered, getting wider (spreading) and fuller (thicker) as
the day progresed. Far to the south of the Capital District I could also
see a giant number 8 in the sky. That is no ordinary contrail! I looked
for an found TRUE contrails throughout the day to use for comparison purposes,
and I can say without a doubt that these two different phenomena have NOTHING
in common with each other.
-
- People in my area have also been sick
with severe respiratory problems since the end of last summer. The fall
of '98 was particularly bad. This illness never seems to go away. It just
fades in and out. I have been suffering from it myself since the fall
and there has been no real change in my condition. Antibiotics have had
no effect - the condition persists. Now with this latest spraying - who
knows.

- Take Care,
