UK
Agencies Deny Evidence of Widespread Illegal Aerosol Operations
Derbyshire,
UK – Following the submission of a report, backed by over 20 signatories
from diverse backgrounds, detailing widespread illegal and unacknowledged aerosol
spraying from aircraft, UK agencies have ignored or denied the significant data
it presented. Copies of the report were sent to UK Greenpeace, the Civil Aviation
Authority (CAA), The Royal Air Force, DEFRA and, sometime after, to the UK World-Wide
Fund for Nature, challenging them to investigate the data themselves. Four responses
were received and all of them have denied the basic science presented in the report,
which was backed up by the clear evidence.
5th
July 2007 – An independent lay researcher, with a background in Software
Engineering, from Derbyshire, UK, has continued to try and draw attention to the
report he compiled which documents ongoing illegal aerosol spraying activities
which could be affecting our climate, our health or both. In May 2007, a previous
Press Release (http://www.prweb.com//releases/2007/5/prweb527358.htm) described
how he had sent copies of this report to several UK Agencies.
Andrew
Johnson said that, “It has been an interesting exercise. Though the responses
from official bodies have been largely as expected, I have been gratified and
surprised by the response of a number of people from all around the world.”Since
submitting the report in May 2007, Johnson said that he has received responses
from DEFRA, The Department of Transport, the UK World-Wide Fund for Nature and
the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). He said “The response from DEFRA was
a 1-page flat denial, stating that what I was describing was ordinary contrails.
They did not refer to any sections of the report, nor did they attempt to explain
any of the data it presented. I had already included in the report that I would
not accept such a flat denial and suggested that, if that was the sort of response
they were intending to make, then they would be better sending nothing. This is
another strong indication they did not even read the report.” The response
came from the “Customer Contact Unit” and Johnson said “I wrote
back to them explaining again that a simple ‘denial’ type of response
was not acceptable. I also wrote that I did not consider myself a ‘customer’
of DEFRA – after all, I hadn’t bought anything from them.”
Johnson
said that he was surprised to receive a response from The Department of Transport,
“I did not send a copy to the Department of Transport (DoT), but in their
response they said that the report had been forwarded to them for comment by DEFRA
Ministers. The DoT response was by far the most comprehensive, and referenced
one specific section of my report, so it seemed they had actually read it. They
included reference to a Scientific Paper about Persistent Aircraft Trails, written
in 2005 by Professor Ulrich Schumann of the Institute of Atmospheric Physics.
I studied this report in some detail and could not really find anything that was
specifically relevant to the data in my own report – such as how grids and
parallel lines are formed. The Schumann Paper talks about contrail formation being
possibly linked to cirrus cloud formation, but states there is no proven link
between them. It does indeed discuss persistent "contrails" but does
not explain why they form and the duration of their persistence is not discussed
in detail or with any empirical data. In particular, my attention was drawn to
2 figures in the report: the standard contrail duration of maximum 2 minutes (with
which I have no argument) and also the discussion of regions of ice supersaturation.
It states that ice supersaturation in the atmosphere may be the cause of persistent
contrail formation, but no firm link is documented or established. Indeed, a figure
of 150 km is quoted for the maximum size of a region of ice supersaturation. However,
I have measured chemtrails that are over 300 km long.”
Johnson
explained that, after reviewing Prof Schumann’s Paper, “I e-mailed a
copy of my report, along with these and other comments to Professor Schumann,
but so far, I have received no response.”
Johnson
responded to the DoT and CAA asking that, if their assertions were correct and
the chemtrails were just contrails, it must mean that the picture of the “grid”
he took in 2005 and the 42 aircraft he recorded leaving persistent trails over
a period of 2½ hours on Feb 4th 2007 must be ordinary air traffic. He therefore
asked if they could please supply flight data for these days? “As I have
videoed the actual aircraft from 4th of Feb and have the files time-stamped on
a disk, I can prove they flew over the place where I was. I have received no response
to this request so far.”
There
has been interest and support expressed from around the world, Johnson has found.
"During the week after I first posted the report, I received a number of
complimentary messages from around the world, which was a pleasant surprise. It
seems that more people are aware of and concerned about this issue than I thought".Brian
from Ontario, Canada also contacted Andrew with information regarding chemtrail
identification, “I have put together this webpage http://www.holmestead.ca/chemtrails/spreading.html
for people in the USA which helps them to identify Chemtrails. One important consideration,
for example is that most commercial aircraft are tracked by the FAA within the
U.S. Other countries may have similar tracking programs and in turn make that
tracking data available to the public via tracking programs such as 'FlightAware'
and 'Flight Explorer' in near real time. If the aircraft that you have observed
do not show up on these tracking programs then you must assume that they are exempt
from being tracked. Only military type aircraft, and some Government aircraft
are exempt from tracking. That should cause many questions to be asked as it is
against FAA regulations as well as military flight regulations for any large body
jet aircraft to conduct operations, manoeuvres, or training exercises over populated
civilian areas without notification by the Secretary of Defence ninety days prior
to any such operation - and only then with the express permission of the Governor(s)
of the affected state(s), unless National Security is at issue.”Johnson said
“I was grateful that Brian has contacted me with this information - I have
come across a similar tracking system which is available in the UK called the
SBS-1 but this is quite expensive to buy.”
John
from Australia said “I have been following this issue for some time and have
been videoing our local skies for 3 months… I think the Greens really need
to look at this but so far here it has fallen on deaf ears and the other parties
deny it.”
Susan
from Arizona also contacted Johnson to say “I have tracked [chemtrails] here
in northern Arizona for the past two years, where skies are normally a bright,
clear blue (or at least they used to be) for most days of the year. The chemtrails
have increased and become far worse over the past several years, along with extreme
changes in local climate and environment. Respiratory problems are virtually epidemic
and long-lasting.”
James
from Exeter said “I agree 100% with your views and conclusions. I have taken
digital camera pictures of these unmarked aircraft spraying overhead, sometimes
as many as thirty or more aircraft in a very short time, spraying in a grid pattern
it seems, and have looked up some mornings to find an X marks the spot in the
sky overhead - looks like a St. Andrews cross. I have a large pair of binoculars
80 x 20's , but even with these there are no markings on these aircraft. I have
seen a couple of aircraft with what look like extra tanks under the fuselage.
So, yes we are being sprayed. I'm so pleased to see someone that is voicing the
concerns I've had for a while now.”
John
from Kelso (Scotland) also wrote to say “Chemtrails first caught my attention
after reading an article in about 1998/99, and to be honest at that time in the
UK I was not seeing any, so I just dismissed the idea as something that was happening
in the US. In 2002, I was leaving my nephew’s house in North Shields Tyne
& Wear to come home and from the main road near the Tyne Tunnel and I could
see in the distance a huge X in the sky. I have since taken many photos and videos
of this phenomenon.”
Rosalind
from California wrote “We believe, that the program here in Northern California
and Arizona dates back to 1988 or 1989. We believe that there may have been experiments
prior to this date... however, technology and funding became available on a massive
scale in the late 1980s.”
Andrew
Johnson added “Rosalind also kindly sent quite a few related documents that
she has obtained, though I simply have not had chance to study them yet.”
Caroline,
a Financial Consultant, from Surrey, UK also described her own thoughts and experiences,
“I do not believe that any government-sponsored scientist has or will be
sanctioned to look into all the evidence relating to chemtrails with the depth
that you, I and many other private individuals have. Any scientists who may feel
that chemtrails should be investigated would, I think, have to consider the 80
untimely and unexplained deaths of some of the world’s top scientists that
have taken place since 1994. DEFRA has not and will not act impartially and has,
I consider, erroneously decided to accept scientific discussion as fact rather
than theory. One must wonder why there was not one time lapse experiment undertaken
(or reported on if undertaken) when this economical way of confirming facts could
quickly turn a theory into a proven point. I do feel that time is of the utmost
importance with regards to halting these chemtrails, at least until a full and
open public enquiry has taken place.”
Mark,
a Rail Worker in the West Midlands, has recently written an article regarding
his observations about the Chemtrailing activity in which he says, “During
the summer of 2006, my attention was directed to unusual cloud formations that
were becoming a frequent and alarming feature of the daytime skies over the Wolverhampton
area of the West Midlands, UK where I live. On a sunny Saturday afternoon in July
2006, I actually witnessed the entire vista was filled with criss-crossed and
checkerboard patterns constructed of thick, milky white lines of cloud. I have
been an aviation enthusiast for as long as I can remember, and maintain what I
consider to be a good working familiarity with most types of civilian and military
aircraft. The aircraft I saw appeared to be of three types, two larger types of
the KC-135 (a derivative of the Boeing 707) and Boeing KC 767 (the military tanker
version of the Boeing 767) varieties, and a smaller and faster type which recalled
the configuration of a McDonnell Douglas MD-80. These aircraft were all flying
at high speed, and initially deposited thin, white trails in their wakes. It was
also patently obvious that the patterns visible above were being constructed to
some kind of design.”
It
is therefore clear that a wide range of people are aware that the spraying is
going on, and basic science proves it is really happening. The question has to
be asked, then, how do we proceed and obtain answers to has authorised this spraying
and what is its purpose?
In
summary, Johnson comments, “I see this as a stage in the process of getting
both Governmental Organisations and Non-Governmental Organisations to look at
this issue realistically and responsibly. The research of many people and the
report I compiled proves the issue is real, even though we don't know who is responsible
for the spraying. Anyone who has an interest in protecting our environment should
be looking at this issue and asking questions. The official responses I have received
so far have done nothing, realistically, to refute or correct any of the data
or overall conclusions I included, disturbing though they are. Perhaps the main
problem is that it is difficult for us all to accept, in the face of everything
else we are told (about things like global warming, for example), that something
like this is really going on. I think we must therefore continually apply pressure
in various places so that we can get more answers. I strongly encourage everyone
to try and do something to increase awareness of this. Write to government and
environmental agencies (especially if you are a member) and send them copies of
the report, or any other data on Chemtrailing which you feel is important."
