Atmospheric test rockets might be causing mysterious chemtrails.  Chemtrails are reported by people all over the world and it’s a phenomenon  that people are blaming for all sorts of things such as global dimming, weather control and other theories.  The official explanation of this is that chemtrails are jet contrails, the byproduct of jet fuel and a serious kind of air pollution.  These contrails hang in the atmosphere and bond with water particles, which is what determines whether they dissipate quickly or not.  Some people who are much more familiar with chem trails than I am, (where I live we do not get these)  swear that they criss-cross the sky as though they were put there deliberately by rockets or planes for reasons unknown. The most likely explanation seems to be the theory that government planes  are seeding clouds with barium and aluminum nanoparticles, to either affect the weather, or to reflect global warming back out into space.  Or, they are just being used to seed clouds to make it rain, etc.  However,  barium and aluminum have been found in the air and on people after chemtrails have been observed.

The picture on the top is of a rocket from Clemson University.  Clemson University researchers and students launched four rockets in Alaska in 2007  to study heat in the upper atmosphere.   They are continuing these rockets this year, most recently to study “atmospheric conditions” and turbulence in the atmosphere.   These rockets themselves are adding chemicals  to the sky that are contributing to vapor clouds.  In fact, are these rockets causing chemtrails?

Clemson scientists launch rockets to test atmospheric conditions

From Science Centric –27 February 2009 — Clemson University space physicists have travelled around the world to launch rockets to test atmospheric conditions. This [photo above] shows the fourth launch of a rocket at Poker Flat Research Range. Centre: time exposure of first- and second-stage firetrail. Background: auroral arc in the north. Scientists most recently launched a salvo of four rockets over Alaska to study turbulence in the upper atmosphere. The launches took place at Poker Flat Research Range north of Fairbanks as part of a NASA sounding rocket campaign.

Associate professor of physics and astronomy Gerald Lehmacher is the principal investigator for the experiment and was assisted by graduate students Shelton Simmons and Liyu Guo.

‘After six days of cloudy and snowy weather, we had perfect conditions with a clear, moonless night sky over interior Alaska,’ said Lehmacher. ‘We needed excellent viewing conditions from three camera sites to photograph the luminescent trails the payloads produced in the upper atmosphere.’

The rockets were 35-foot, two-stage Terrier Orions. They released trimethyl aluminium that creates a glowing vapour trail nearly 87 miles up. Sensitive cameras on the ground track the trails. From that Lehmacher and his team can analyse upper-atmospheric winds by tracking how the vapour trails form, billow, disperse and diffuse. Two of the rockets had an additional deployable payload with instrumentation to measure electron density and neutral temperature and turbulence.

The instrumented sections are a collaboration of Clemson with Penn State University and the Leibniz-Institute for Atmospheric Physics in Germany. The University of Alaska assisted in the study with ground-based laser radar and other optical instruments. The project is sponsored by a NASA grant for three years.

In January, Clemson physicists travelled to Norway to carry out a joint experiment with Japanese scientists to study atmospheric winds and circulation from heating created by electrical currents associated with Northern Lights displays. The measurements were made with instruments flown on a Japanese S-310 rocket launched from the Andoya Rocket Range in northern Norway, as well as a suite of sensitive radar and camera instruments on the ground.

I suspect that what people think of as chemtrails are in fact deliberately put thereby themilitaryu, the government, or by research facilities from universities, such as these rockets.  I’d like to know what other people think they are.
