I was standing in the bank this morning (09 Oct 2000) making a deposit when a man walked into the bank and, during his conversation with the next teller, told of how a dozen or more high altitude jets were combing the skies overhead in a grid-like fashion earlier in the morning, around 0700 ET.	©1999 Allan B.

According to him, probably because of ice crystals, there were dozens of contrails that at first just hung there in the sky. Slowly they dropped downward toward the earth.

Okay, I've heard a good bit over the past few years about the contrail issue. Some of the stories that have circulated out right would frighten the most staunch of people I know. For the longest time I simply didn't hold much stock in any of it--believing, like most, that it is just pure poppycock. Since the summer of 1999, however, I've seen enough high-altitude jets doing their thing in the sky--in a grid or circular fashion--that I'm not so sure that it's just poppycock anymore.

It was similar and yet different than that experienced near the Ashland refinery plant which is about 30 miles from my home in the rural.

When I arrived at the bank, which is about 10 to 15 miles from my home, on the edge of the city, I noticed that the smell was more pronounced than it was earlier at home. It was after that that this man in the bank mentioned the jets flying grid patterns all across the sky. A bit later I made my way toward the heart of the city where I began to notice that the smell was even more intense, so much so that it actually stung my nose when I got out of the truck at the mall.

Frankly, when you see several jets flying in a circlular grid over the city one day and then over farm land the next, often doing so for hours upon hours, working their way from one end of the sky to the other,	©1999 Allan B. Colombo

all the while laying down a vapor trail that hangs in the sky for hours as it falls to the earth, you have to wonder.

I've heard all sorts of theories concerning what these planes are doing. Early reports stated that they were spraying a chemical that is suppose to attack certain kinds of insects. Some of the reports that crossed my e-mail box also stated that it was some kind of chemical that would help fight some kind of disease that was threatening certain kinds of trees.

©1999 Allan B. Colombo	Since then, the reports that have crossed my e-mail box have gotten down right ugly. One theory proposed is that these planes are carrying one half of a biological weapon.

As the story goes, when the other biological agent is introduced into the body, it will kill the human organism. Another theory is that the substance being sprayed, probably as an additive to the jet fuel, is a biological weapon that effectively weakens our immune systems.

One of the most recent reports, allegedly from a former government scientist, states that the substance being sprayed is designed to bond some deadly form of the Spanish Flu to our lungs so we will absorb it much easier and quicker once it is introduced into society. The manner of introduction, according to this report, is via common flu innoculations. By the time folks learn what is going on, it will be too late, so the report alleges.

©1999 Allan B. Colombo	There have also allegedly been a series of lab reports over the years that state that the substance being sprayed over inhabited rural, suburban, and urban acrage ranges from a biological agent to an insecticide,

which was allegedly banned by the EPA more than two decades ago. The report associated with the latter theory states that this is why there are record numbers of people, especially children, who now suffer from a number of respiratory ailments.

You're guess is as good as mine, but I'd sure like to know the truth. Anyone in government or the private sector who would like to do the right thing here (risk it all to tell the truth), I would be glad to listen.
