A jet leaves a contrail across the sky.Chances are, that you have seen an airplane high in the sky leaving a contrail. Contrails most commonly form as water vapor from jet exhaust pushes the water content of the surrounding air past the point of saturation leading to the formation of water droplets or ice crystals that hang in the sky forming an artificial cloud. These contrails usually dissipate very quickly. However on occasion the contrails left behind a jet do not dissipate. Instead they hang in the sky overhead, slowly spreading, sometimes taking hours to fully disappear. Some people believe that these long lasting contrails are something much more vile than a normal trail of condensed water vapor. They theorize that instead of water vapor these contrails are made up of some sort of aerosolized chemical, purposefully sprayed out of specially designed jets.

Why you ask, would someone want to spray large areas covertly? Well, if you subscribe to the conspiracy theories,

On the easier to believe side of the scale, we have weather control - potentially to try and reverse the effects of global warming. Weather modification is something that does happen on a regular basis round the world when clouds are “seeded” to produce rain, though the effectiveness of this technique has never been proven and is hotly debated. It is also a topic that has been extensively researched by the US government which ran Project Stormfury from the early 60’s to the early 80’s in an attempt to discover a means of weakening hurricanes. The project was canceled after it failed to produce any viable results. Though over ten years past since the last official experimental flight and the projects cancelation in 1983, which may lead some to believe that Project Stormfury did uncover something in those intervening years before its cancelation.

Last week it looked like Spirit, one of two remote controlled NASA rovers currently exploring Mars, might not make it out of its winter hibernation. The worst part of this robotic near death experience is that it had nothing to do with technical difficulties on the aging rover. Budget cuts at NASA were to blame. Fortunately, NASA rescinded the letter it sent last week mandating budget cuts that would have abandoned Spirit and greatly reduced Opportunity’s (Spirit’s sister rover) exploration of the red planet. Both rovers have long outlasted their intended lifespan of only a few months, sending back valuable scientific data for 4 years. Gimping the rover program at this point would have been an incredibly stupid move. Especially when considering the cost of sending another rover to Mars (one of the reasons for the budget cut) when you have two healthy robots already in place whose yearly operating budget is fractional in comparison. I would hope that NASA came to this conclusion on its own, but I feel that it is more likely that outcry over the incident from the scientific community and the general public caused NASA to reconsider giving Spirit its walking papers just yet. While the loss of an incredible scientific tool is nothing to scoff about, this incident puts a light on a much larger issue: How the US government allocates it’s citizen’s tax dollars.

Stephenville, it seems like this incident just refuses to fade quietly into the night. While I initially thought the what flew over the small Texas town might be some sort of secret military project, now I wonder if the government has other reasons for wanting Stephenville out of the headlines. Today, Billy Booth recounts the tale of a UFO writer who found some very interesting information and after publishing it was forced to remove it by an un-named government agency saying it could cause “public fear and unrest”. What information could cause such a ruckus?

The writer in question received a tip that fighter jets that were above Stephenville the night of January 8th flew very close to the no-fly-zone that surrounds President Bush’s ranch outside Crawford, Texas. This close proximity raises the question, did someone or something violate the President’s no fly zone? Were the F-16s seen by residents around Stephenville dispatched to intercept an unknown craft? Is the ease with which the craft violated some of the most heavily guarded airspace in the country and evaded some of our country’s most advanced warplanes why the military and government are going to such great lengths to sweep this incident under the rug? Lets take a look to see if there could be some validity to this theory.
