I'm not sure what this has to do about anything, but ...

I live in Atlanta. The skies here are almost always criss-crossed with vapor trails from jets, both commercial and military. For a month there have been none. Not one. No one notices until I point it out.

Any ideas?

Are there tracks in the sky in your neck of the woods?

This is starting to bug me.

Very interesting. Indeed!

Hm.

I live in a place where I don't really notice them usually (too many helicopters)...but my fam's all up in DC (which is buzzing with contrails on an ordinary day).

I'll scope them out.

I'm in Cali and I have contrails. Not a whole lot though.

Early last week, I woke up and saw a bunch of criss-crossed contrails in the sky.
I live between Akron and Canton, in Ohio.

Glad the whole country isn't seeing a decline.

So, my question is, why are there trails in Cali and Ohio, and not here in Atlanta? ... (at least not at the moment)

I actually looked up contrails on the I-net a year or 2 ago, and it does have something to do with moisture in the air.

Contrails

breaking through all barriers.
But the mountain stays and remembers,
and follows her with his love.

GWEN hmmmmm

According to a 1982 Air Force review of biotechnology, ELF has a number of potential military uses, including "dealing with terrorist groups, crowd control, controlling breaches of security at military installations, and antipersonnel techniques in tactical warfare." The same report states:

"Electromagnetic systems would be used to produce mild to severe physiological disruption or perceptual dis- tortion or disorientation. They are silent, and counter- measures to them may be difficult to develop."

God ... they're brilliant, aren't they?

Yes, I have noticed what I have come to know as "contrails".
I live on the edge of the Pacific, right next to an old abandoned Army Base.I have often observed cloud-like trails in the sky overhead. Definately not generated by your usual Jet...
