Mystery Boeing 737 Flying Circles In Florida Storms
Southwest Florida observers are mystified about a twin engine jet aircraft circling at low levels in and around strong daily thunderstorms this week. (swflorida.blogspot.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
LOL. Yup. Oh, and what's important is that from below, most commercial airliners appear "all white", especially when they're at high altitude. Unless the operator has a distinctive paint scheme with significant dark colors on the belly.
So, the idiotic "chemtrail!" claims keep rolling in. (Among other claims...)

[This comment has been downvoted. Show anyway.]
"floyd", I live on the West Coast already. And, I have been over this subject countless times, seen countless videos and "claims" of "chemtrails" when in fact each and every time they are merely CONTRAILS.
Over and again, these claims are made by people who are ignorant of the science.
This site is a good place to get educated, and deny ignorance:

BTW, are you aware that the entire "idea" of "chemtrails" was begun by an AM Radio talk show host, so he could create a market of hypochondriacs willing to buy his fake "remedy cure" for all that ails ya? Since that auspicious beginning, many other "snake oil salesmen" have jumped on the bandwagon because they see it as a money-making scheme...fooling the naive and science-deprived people with loads of flim-flam.
Reminds me of "The Simpsons" and the monorail:

Speaking of Redding CA, easy to find to prove my point:

A video (^ ^ ^) of normal cirrus clouds and contrails. "Cirrus Aviaticus" is the scientific term for contrails. Yet, the video maker does not know what she is looking at. This is called "ignorance". And, claiming that normal contrails are something else is idiotic and inane. There is no excuse for ignorance in today's Internet world.
Finally, (pilots who use FA will know of this site too):

Go there (^ ^ ^) and if you know any pilots, they can help walk you through it.
But, I'll explain this much -- click on the globe icon for Charts. Look for the tab labelled "Enroute High" then click. Mouse over to find "Enroute H-3", then click. To quickly center the map (Chart) type an aviation code in the box at left top corner (next to words "Flight Plan"). For the Redding Airport, type KRDD.
Each one of those black (and blue, they are RNAV only routes, meaning they are not part of the VOR structure) are Jet Airways. Note their arrangements. Compare to contrails seen overhead your area. Keep in mind that conditions aloft vary day to day, hour by hour, and that winds exist aloft too.
Lastly, let's look at FA's own resources here, and randomly choose a flight North/South from SEA to LAX -- here's Alaska 450 on 21 Aug, 2013:

OK...next, let's look at its Flight Plan: HAROB4 FEPOT OED RBL SAC AVE SADDE6
'HAROB4' is an Instrument Departure Procedure (SID) (Found here on FA also).
'FEPOT' is an intersection (or "waypoint') 'OED', 'RBL', 'SAC', and 'AVE' are VORs.
'SADDE6" is an Instrument Arrival into LAX (a STAR).
By the way, 'RBL' is the "Red Bluff" VOR, just south of the Redding airport.
So you can see clearly that there are many, many flights every day along various routes, and contrails form depending on the many factors of conditions -- temperature, relative humidity, etc -- at cruise levels of airliners.
Over and again, these claims are made by people who are ignorant of the science.

Lets break out the tin foil hats folks.
Tim, if you do take the advice and head to Redding & Weaverville, keep in mind "an armed society is a polite society"
Area 51
Then my step-son started working on his pilot's license and was taken by his instructor to a practice area where the went around in circles for hours at a time working on various maneuvers.
Wanna guess where the practice area was?
