Yesterday I was emailed a video that clearly shows 'spraying between spraying' & after looking up today, saw that this is happening here too. I have noticed every now & then, the dashed line sort of trails - ones that are not a solid continuous line, but look like dashes across the sky. After seeing the video, now I see how they are done. Uploading today's pictures, taken since the beginning of the month.
I have noticed some changes lately. Up until recently I have only seen the very high altitude white aircraft spraying all day long. One day this week I was home for lunch & happened to look up when I heard something overhead. I saw a very large, much lower flying, silver aircraft spraying some very thick, heavy trails. I couldnt tell, but it could have been a commerical jet instead of the unmarked military ones I see all the time.
I have noticed another change recently. Some days (they are rare this summer) in a mostly clear sky, I will hear aircraft & can tell by the sound they are somewhere overhead, but even after doing a 360 degree scan of the sky, I dont see anything. They are definitely up there, but I can't see them. Draw your own conclusions, as I have.
In today's photos, there are the usual wispy looking dispersed trails & x's in the sky. There are some that look like the sky is muddy - it was. When the sun is shining through what should be either a rain cloud or a lighter, fluffier, 'normal looking cloud, the sky has never been that color - EVER. Lately I see this quite often. I have also noticed what, at a quick glance, might appear to be dark looking "clouds", but they are actually like dirty, muddy formations in the sky. They hang low & are dark like storm clouds would be, but are not clouds at all. It looks like what pollution used to from smoke stacks when it hung in the air & wouldnt clear. I am from the town that Kodak built, so I have a long history with dirty skies.
There is one picture that is tall & thin with what appear to be puffy white 'normal' clouds. If you take a close look, they populate the sky well into the distance, all the way to the horizon. There actually seems to be sort of a pattern in their layout. They are so uniform looking that they look very unnatural. We have had so many overcast days this summer its way beyond anything naturally occuring. Anyone regularly watching the sky here must surely know the weather patterns are definitely NOT normal.
This past week, there wasnt much sun at all, but when I checked the weather sites, they didnt show any clouds in the region, let alone the area. Also, when you look up through the gloom, you can see the tell tale signs of spraying with finger like clouds & thinner patches inbetween where the blue actually shows a little bit - until the spraying blocks all the light. Its very obvious that whatever is covering the sky here is very low hanging, since the blue sky is directly up above it.
In the past I have seen the sky with gathering clouds as a storm heads this way, checked the weather maps online & seen the approaching front & knew that the wind would push the front by, with or without rain. Then the sky cleared up again. All summer, the sky has looked like rain most of the time, but it has rarely rained & the "clouds" just HANG. There is barely any breeze, the air feels stagnant & deathly still. It's always extremely humid down here for about 6 months a year but the weather has life & weather fronts come & go. Not so much this year.
Also, the weather forecasting is completely wrong most of the time. In the past, when weather changes were predicted, they may have been 4-12 hours off, but ulitimately they did what was predicted with few exceptions. Rain has been predicted most of the summer but generally has not happened in spite of the constant appearance that it could rain any minute.
Time will tell whether these aberrations are truly 'just an off year', but with all the questionable aircraft activity I am reasonably sure they are not..
