    Chemtrails Over Venezuela

    STS-114 lifted off from Launch Pad 39B, Kennedy Space Center, on 26July 2005 at 14:39 GMT. The Crew has experienced some facets of Shuttleflight that are entirely new. On orbit inspection of the heat shield, manualrepairs to that heat shield, and experiments with different methods of on

    orbit heat shield repair. In addition, Discovery carried over 15 tons ofequipment and supplies to the International Space Station, where she wasgreeted upon arrival by the Expedition 11 Crew. Three EVAs (Extra-Vehicular Activity or spacewalk) were carried out. These involved Space

    Station repairs, improvements, and attending to heat shield problems. Afourth EVA to repair a flaw in the insulation below Commander EileenCollins window was cancelled as unnecessary. Space Shuttle Discoveryand her crew landed at Edwards Air Force Base(NASA's DrydenResearch Center) in the California desert at 12:11 GMT on 9 August 2005.Total flight duration was 13 days 21 hours 32 minutes. The mission was

    highly successful, accomplishing every goal set for it.

    The sad news is that in the wake of continued problems with external tankinsulation breaking away during liftoff, the Shuttle fleet has beenindefinately grounded until the problem is solved.

    At approximately 4:28 PM CDT (21:28 GMT), on 1 August 2005, theShuttle/Station complex was orbiting over Venezuela, in northern SouthAmerica. The INCO seemed to notice something amongst the cloudsbelow, and zoomed in for a better look. The first try "missed", so hebacked out, moved the camera a bit, and tried again. What he found iswhat we call a Chemtrail pattern.

    This is the best frame captured from the original VHS tape recorded live atthe time, from NASA Select TV coverage of the STS-114 mission. Noticethat the lines appear to enter, or go beneath, the cloud bank at top. Thereis NO WAYthat jet contrails would be visible from this altitude withoutmore magnification, and MUCHbetter focus. Imagine something only a

    few feet (or meters) wide being seen from over 220 miles (350 km)distance without benefit of optical aids. I think we can also rule out thepossibility that these parallel lines are natural cloud. In all my years of

    watching televised space flight, never have I seen a natural cloud patternsimilar to this.

    It has been suggested that this pattern is a result of aerial spraying to

    destroy coca crops. That suggestion sounds reasonable on the surfacebut, when a little geographic fact is applied, it becomes void. Coca, theplant which upon certain processing yields cocain, is grown in theeconomically disadvantaged high valleys and plains of the AndesMountain Range. These areas are primarily confined to Columbia, Peru,and Bolivia. The climate there is cool and relatively dry. Venezuela, on the

    other hand, is low coastal plain. It is hot tropical rain forest, and not at allsuited to the cultivation of coca.

    This is what a genuine jet contrail looks like. We can barely make out thejet itself. This plane is cruising at around 5 to 8 miles altitude (8 to 13 km).Visible from the height of the Space Station? Well, yes and no. Suchcontrails are visible if high power telescopic lenses are used. See theimages below.

    A second example of a jet contrail as seen from space using highpowered lenses. Neither of the above in any way resemble the chemtrail

    pattern seen over Venezuela on 1 August 2005.

    NASA PHOTO

    This is a weather satellite photo of a rare atmospheric phenomenonknown as a "Gravity Wave". It is characterized as being like the result of apebble thrown into a quiet pool. I had a course in meteorology atUniversity back in 1976, and this effect was not taught then. I'm given tounderstand that the phenomenon was first described in a peer review

    magazine in 1975. More on atmospheric gravity waves HERE. Incomparison with the chemtrail photo from STS-114, there are greatdifferences. As can be seen above, the gravity waves wash over thesurrounding cloud masses like ocean surf over a sand castle on thebeach. They cover a vast area. They are not localized, nor do they appearUNDER the cloud mass. In this writer's opinion, the above does not

    explain the incident which this story is about.

    The above animated GIF illustrates the INCO's frustrated first attempt tozoom in on the chemtail pattern far below. He "missed", backed out, andhad a second go at it.

    Finally, we have the results of that second zoom. As one can easily see,this is a large area which has been sprayed, and with God knows what.Why Venezuela? There has been political unrest in that oil rich nation inrecent times. Could there be a connection? This writer obviously cannotsay.

    At all times during this incident, the camera was under the control of theINCO in Houston Mission Control.

    (INCO - INstrument &CommunicationOfficer - The man in HoustonMission Control Center who is responsible for operating the Shuttlepayload bay, and robotic arm, cameras. He also remotely operates thehelmet cameras in space suits. In the case of ISS, this officer is referred

    to as the CATO - Communications And Tracking Officer. In both cases,these persons CONTROL everything which is PERMITTEDto go out onbroadcast to the public. It is a commonly believed falacy that the camerasare operated by Astronauts & Cosmonauts on the Shuttles, and SpaceStation. Very little camera work is done by the crews. They're way toobusy for that.)

    When someone wants to argue with you that chem-trails are merecontrails, ask them "Where does all that MASScomes from then?" That'sthe key point in dismissing the contrail / ice crystal argument. MASS.

    Imagine an old car that is burning oil due to bad piston rings. The blue

    cloud belching from its tailpipeIS

    nasty, but there isn't that much of it,and the cloud will dissipate rapidly. Can this car, by driving down oneroad through a small town, create a heavy blanket of smoke over theENTIREtown? Of course not; there isn't enough MASSin that old car'sexhaust. The same principle applies to chem-trails. Jet exhaust, known asa contrail, doesn't contain enough MASSto account for the phenomenon

    we call chemtrails.

    At the end of the day, it's up to YOU to draw your own conclusions.
