ALBANY, N.Y.-- Questions about what's happening in the sky are popping up across the country. Concerns among the populace about what they see are leaving many to fear the worst. There are varied motives behind what some people see and what they believe to be some kind of geo-engineering conspiracy.
The conspiracy is a worldwide growing movement. A number of people believe it's an effort to curb global warming, while others, like Bonnie Hoag of Shushan, believe it's a covert military operation.
"What is more fundamental than breath? What is more fundamental than life on earth to breath?" said Hoag. "This is theft of breath."
She said planes are spraying aluminum and other toxic metals, which are being blamed for skyrocketing rates of a variety of illnesses.
"This is genocide," said Former FBI Chief Ted Gunderson. "This is poison. This is murder."
Gunderson thinks a world government is behind the spraying. He thinks the reason behind it has something to do with some form of population control.
"They're death dumps. They're dumping poison on us to reduce the world population," said Gunderson. "And our government is doing nothing about it!"
Documents such as the 1996 U.S. Air Force 2025 "White Paper," includes pages 36 and 37 which both discuss ways to use the atmosphere and weather to affect human health and perceptions (see below). Other related documents could be found by clicking here.
According to Rosalind Peterson, the president of the Agriculture Defense Coalition, "University, NASA, and NOAA studies have begun to be published which show that these jets are not having a benign effect on our environment and are considered part of an atmospheric geo-engineering experiment that reduces the amount of direct sunlight reaching the Earth."
Others, like Dr. Kevin Rhoads, who specializes in atmospheric chemistry, agree with Peterson's notion that these won't negatively affect citizens. He said it's not a conspiracy at all, but rather contrails and explained that exhaust of carbon dioxide and water can leave streaks in high altitudes and cold temperatures.
"It's a pretty far fetched idea that these aircrafts could be spreading much quantity of anything other than the exhaust," said Dr. Rhoads. "The word 'Chemtrail' has never appeared in any scientific literature anywhere."
He explained that exhaust of carbon dioxide and water can leave streaks in high altitudes and cold temperatures.
"If you were to load some type of chemical agent aboard that plane, that were to be spread, the very weight of that would make the plane unflyable," said Dr. Rhoads.
Even Discovery Channel's Mythbusters claim that ‘Chemtrails' don't exist. But sky watchers like Cynthia Pikoulas insist the trails form deliberate grids, and linger too long to be water vapor.
"No one has the right to alter our sky," said Pikoulas. "We breathe the air in, and people are getting sick, so something is causing it."
"It just breaks my heart every day," said Hoag.
Pikoulas and Hoag have sought out every legislator they can find, but they say no one will look, or listen.
"It wouldn't be the first time that governments around the world have done testing on their populations unbeknownst to them," said Pikoulas.
Getting to the heart of the matter however, isn't very easy. Scientists have discussed geo-engineering as a possibility in the future but they say it is not happening now.
