U.S. CONTROLLERS CONCERNED OVER CHEMTRAILS
South of the border, U.S. Air Traffic Controllers were also concerned over tanker-spread emissions. Just after Christmas 2001, the Air Traffic Control manager for the northeastern seaboard became increasingly concerned that his young son's illness - and episodes of Sudden Onset Acute Asthma suffered by his formerly allergy-free wife - could be linked with the increased aerial activity he was seeing on his scopes.
On March 12, 2001, this source - who came to be called "Deep Sky" by this reporter and ABC-affiliated radio reporter S.T. Brendt - told Brendt that he and other controllers were being told to re-route commercial air traffic beneath formations of air force tankers. Insisting that flight safety was not affected, he admitted during a follow-up interview at WMWV radio station that the KC-135s were spraying something that reflected radar pulses as a "haze" that degraded ATC radars.
Brendt contacted the FAA official after counting more than 30 big jets within 45 minutes spreading persistent plumes over rural Maine. Also alerted by Brendt, assistant WMWV news director Richard Dean and his staff counted 370 chemical trails criss-crossing his nearby location. But Deep Sky told Brendt that of the nine commercial jets on his radars at the time, only one or two would have been visible from her location.
Speaking on condition of strict anonymity, the ATC manager later expressed concern over the classified operations conducted by much larger military formations of KC-135 tankers between 37,000 and 40,000 feet.
