Lol, I used to think this was one of those FE, hollow earth type theories, but I fully believe it today.

I don't know if they can saturate the atmosphere with moisture, but this is obviously cloud seeding.

See I can totally buy that the government is cloud seeding. I mean in some cases it's done intentionally and publically. I have no problem coming to grips that they might be doing it for illicit purposes or as a conspiracy.

Where I run into it is I've seen these coming out of common passenger jets plenty of times. Am I to believe that somehow some sort of water vapor dispension system is attached to all sorts of general airplanes and no one from a maintenance crew or airplane design or anything has ever brought it to light with real evidence over all this time? I'd have to believe in Men in Black style flashy memory erasers or just like a mass KGB level disappearing people scheme that no one notices to make that believeable.

Aluminum oxide nanoparticle fuel additive. Minimizes the number of people who need to be aware of it.

At the concentrations needed for cloud seeding (let alone mass mental retardation), adding something as abrasive as aluminum oxide to fuel would destroy fuel pumps and engines before they even got off the ground. It's a polishing agent FFS, and generally insoluble in like... anything. You either buy it in powder or in a pasty suspension.

So if they are adding it, it's not in the fuel mix.

mental retardation

We're talking about aluminum, not lead.

Let's do some back-of-the-envelope calcs. We'll say 100 grams of seeding material per spread, a Boeing 737 holds about 20k liters of fuel. So 5 mg per liter.

Dispersing and then keeping the particles suspended would be more of the issue, but there's been a fair amount of research into using metal oxides as fuel additives for other reasons. You would need the right surfactant to make it work, but it's feasible.

Metal-oxide buildup in the engine would be another concern, but the polishing effect should be basically non-existent.

I don't know if the government (or some other org) is engaging in large-scale cloud seeding utilizing commercial airliners or not. But that is how I would try to accomplish it if I were wearing a black-hat, and it seems technically feasible.

If they added it to the fuel, it would leave "chemtrails" across the entire trip, not just specific areas. That seems counter-productive to controlling rain patterns or dousing civilians with chemicals.

They're produced by heating the cold air, causing the condensation to appear when the air immediately cools back down. They come off wingtips of fast aircraft when they turn or dive, and also when the sound barrier is broken too. They're abundant in WW2 pictures. Were those caused by "Aluminum Oxide nanoparticles too?
Just sayin. It's similar to steam from a boiling kettle.

Do you think fuel is not tested by anyone?

We just chuck it in planes and hope for the best?
