Obviously from Clifford Carnicom and his research.

I started looking into this during the time we were all over at the MSNBC Space Science Board back in 1998.
I didn't bring it up, someone else did, and I looked into it. I couldn't understand what they were talking about until 2001 when the skies in Florida started having them. I walk daily, early in the morning......I have for decades. I know what the sky looks like. (Remember, I have seen OTHER things in the sky which defy an easy "explanation".) Yeah, so I'm a sky watcher.

And the first Shuttle Launch after 9/11 was when they started spraying the skies over central Florida. Just a few days before the launch. They jets started out early in the morning going back and forth until by high noon they had worked their way overhead into the middle and the spraying stopped. By 3 pm, they had formed a nice cloud cover. You would look up at the sun and there would be this brown/grey shimmering oily sundog around it. There was always a rainbow colored cloud up there too somewhere, if the sundog wasn't there.

Then they launched the Shuttle. I figured they were creating the cloud cover to protect the Shuttle, or have the BEST communications/radar possible.

However, they continued.
Spraying was pretty solid for months, even years. But mostly NOT on weekends or holidays I noticed, when jets would be flying more frequently (you'd think). Anyway, I prefer to be debated. I prefer you watch the documentary, and not just the first ten minutes (which are the most dramatic and which you'd be inclined to turn it off), but watch the whole thing at your leisure and come back and tell me with a straight face, that this is all JUST my <imagination.> For those of you who are under time constraints, just watch the last half.
