Conspiracy News - Chemtrails, Government Conspiracy?

It looks like the most popular subject here on this blog in the last little bit is chemtrails.
In case you don’t know what chemtrails are...

“The chemtrail conspiracy theory holds that some contrails are actually chemicals or biological agents deliberately sprayed at high altitudes for a purpose undisclosed to the general public. Versions of the chemtrail conspiracy theory circulating on the internet and radio talk shows theorize that the activity is directed by government officials. As a result, federal agencies have received thousands of complaints from people who have demanded an explanation. The existence of chemtrails has been repeatedly denied by government agencies and scientists around the world."

Despite chemtrails being played down in modern culture, references have slipped into the mainstream.

We have the song "Chemtrails" on Beck's 2008 album, Modern Guilt.

Australian television aired a Canadian film entitled Toxic Skies on March 3, 2009 that starred Anne Heche as a doctor that investigated the link between mysterious illnesses and toxic chemicals dispersed over the population by jet exhaust.
AKA: Chemtrails.

In an interview with PBS talk show host Tavis Smiley on April 27th, 2009, Prince referenced chemtrails.
He said that an increase in contrails coincided with an increase in "fighting and arguing" in his neighborhood.



What really makes this odd is that I find this video clip the day after I read this rumor that Prince may be turning on his Illuminati "Masters" because he saw what happened to Micheal Jackson.

In 2007, on the documentary television series "Best Evidence" on the Discovery Channel, they ran an episode about chemtrails...



As you know, I always like to present both sides of the story, and there are a lot of sites out there where chemtrails are debunked.
One such website is this one, from the New Mexicans for Science and Reason.

Snopes.com (the Urban Legends Reference Pages) has a whole forum devoted to the discussion of chemtrails.

Starting with a mention of them back in 2000 by a retired Lt. Colonel from the USAF and PA Air National Guard member, chemtrails over the skies of Pittsburgh seem to be getting a lot of press, as you can see in this video shot in 2009...



That concerns me because we just moved to Pa....

Of course since chemtrails are popular in conspiracy theory, and HAARP is as well, there are gonna be links between the two as you can see in this article posted on Coastal Post Online and reprinted on Bariumblues.com...

Conclusions?
I have none.
Yeah, personally I think there are a lot more contrails in the air now than there were when I was a kid.
But I imagine there is more air travel as well.
And yeah I do think the contrails hang around a lot longer than they used to.
Now that I don’t have an answer for that unless the wind doesn’t blow as much now as it did when I was young.
Is that possible?
