Hi Jeff,
I have been a regular reader of your website for the past year or more.
I usually let two or three days pass, and wait until there are a number
of articles that build up before I come back and read. Tonight
I came back to do some reading, and was a little surprised to read
all about the chemtrails in Portland. I live and work in the Portland Metro
area.
Since this last Saturday - I thought about posting a message to your
site, but thought against it. I am a real die hard pessimist when it comes
to the subject of chemtrails. I have gotten to the point where I ignore
most of the stories and postings I see. My reaction when reading them is:
"Geez people !! - get a life !!". This stuff is nothing more than normal
jet contrails.
After Saturday - I am still pessimistic on the subject, but I really
am at a loss for what I saw. Perhaps someone out there can find and post
a suitable explanation for what was going on.
We live near Newberg Oregon - about 26 - 28 miles southwest of Portland.
I took my son to his Baseball game that he had at 10:00 on Saturday. He
had to be there an hour early for pre-game warm-ups, so we got there around
9:10, or so.
The sky was a beautiful, beautiful, rich blue. Do not see many days
like that here in Oregon - so I was looking up and admiring the sky. It
was all blue except for a hazy white contrail that went from west to east
- and it was directly above me at the "12:00" position. It looked like
it had been laid down not too long before - so I decided to follow it across
the sky to see if I could spot the aircraft.
I was not able to. It did not look like a normal contrail -there was
something odd about it. I suppose that is really why I noticed it. You
could tell it had been laid down by an aircraft - it looked like a contrail
- but it was much wider than it should have been. Especially for such a
bright blue sky. It looked like it was pretty high up - perhaps somewhere
around 20,000 plus.
Usually a contrail begins to break up pretty quickly and fade into
the blue on a day like Saturday. Usually within minutes - instead - this
contrail did the opposite. It grew -and at a very alarming rate.
Over the next hour I watched as it grew thicker and thicker. The rest
of the sky - except toward Portland, was still a rich deep blue. If you
look at the photos that others have sent in, those photos (as most photos)
do not do justice to what I saw.
The best way to describe this would be in terms of percentages
or "degrees" in the sky. Assume what we see in the sky is 180 degrees of
vision. (It is really much less- but let's use that figure for purposes
of discussion). Half of a full sky would be 90 degrees. A quarter of that
would be 45 .. a quarter of that (an eighth) would be 22.5 degrees ...
Anyway - when I first noticed this contrail, you could see blue sky
behind it, and it took up maybe 2 - 3 degrees in the sky. An hour later
- it had expanded into a thick white cloud about 20 - 25 degrees in width.
It had flattened out, and was dropping in altitude at an alarming rate.
This "cloud" that appeared from nowhere in baby blue skies, was getting
enormous in front of my eyes, and dropping toward the town in which I was
standing. My guess is that it had dropped from 20,0000 feet to somewhere
around 8 - 9,000 feet, and then began to break up and spread out.
As I was glancing up - (in between baseball plays) I saw another jet
coming north to south from over the Portland area. It had just crossed
the dropping, expanding cloud. It, too, was overhead, although it was west
of my position...probably travelling directly over the coastal ranges.
The aircraft was clearly visible - it's silver skin shining bright
in the morning sun, a trail coming off the aircraft. As I watched, I was
thinking to myself: "Geez .. this is really weird, I wonder if these are
the chemtrails everyone writes about .. HA! wouldn't that be something...chemtrails."
Just then - as I was watching the aircraft, the trail was switched
off. CLICK. No petering-out of the trail. No stuttering. No moisture dying
out over the length of the aircraft as it flew .. Just CLICK. The big "OFF".
The jet continues to put distance between itself and whatever it was that
it just left behind.
I said, "Sh*t !! ... What the hell was that?? Someone just shut something
off."
The jet was either dumping fuel - or dumping ....something. The jet
was most definitely dumping something. I guess the big
question was (and still is ..) WHAT was dumped ?
So - as the day progressed, everything became more overcast as everyone
has stated. It looked like Portland to the north was far worse. I ended
up with a bad headache that day and allergies, but chalked it up to - 'allergies.'
This IS the time of year for allergies to hit here in the Northwest.
So claims of respiratory problems etc - dunno, could be pollen. Or, it
could be...(???).
Just the damndest thing to see - this odd cloud, and then a jet obviously
and blatantly dumping crap into the clean, blue skies of Oregon.
