Dude, we are no more gonna agree on this than on evolution. I see a shadow that is directly down-sun from the densest contrail there. I've seen 'em here—and in the desert—IRL. And yeah, there could be plenty of moisture and/or dust in the air to make visible a shadow. Feel free to feel drugged by SOMA-spewing jets and zapped by black beams—but I'm not gonna join you, nor do I think there's any evidence here that's not easily explicable by much-less-dramatic theories.

Different altitudes of the airplanes, different chemical mixtures in the exhausts of different engines, subtly different fuels . . . there's lots of reasons why you'd see different-looking contrails being produced at any given time.

Mebbe... I don't know... I just see the "clouds" being more prevalent and lasting much longer... or not...

Maybe, but while these so called Chem Trails are being made, I can see real contrails from passing commercial aviation at the same time. The real con trails disappear at a constant rate as the jets pass by, while you see the chem trail exhaust start and stop in a series of dashes, if you will, from the same aircraft, forming certain, distinct patterns, some are X's, some converge in V shaped patterns, some run parallel. Guess if you saw them being made, you might see the difference. I have seen a dozen different jets criss crossing the same area for hours on end with intermitant exhaust emmisions that eventually blanket the sky with an artificial overcast haze.
Take a look at the pictures from my earlier post in the large view from the link and tell me that they are contrails from ice crystals. Looks like smoke to me. Tell me how you can start and stop contrails, either they are continual or they aren't. Normal contrails are not intermitant in that close of proximity. I have also seen pictures of black chem trails, a recent addition to the mix. I'll find a couple pictures of them and put em up.

That's why we have laps! Duh. Yeah... but mine's not dry. Seriously, I give a fair amount of credence to the "Chemtrail" theories. I've seen how some of the "contrails" seem to last and last and last and they will spread out and intersect with other jet trails and soon the whole sky is a lace-work. It's uncanny. But I'm not going to say that I think it's a conspiracy... yet.

I'd imagine that you see so many contrails because you live near or under an air route - we live close to one of the two routes across the English Channel, with an aeronautical beacon about 5 miles from us and so see a lot of two-way traffic, like an aerial highway.
