STRANGE HAZE
A commercial pilot and former Vietnam vet had this to say about the "chaff" story recently aired on a Florida news-station:
"Chaff my foot.
Common chaff is dropped in bursts, (clouds), not long lines and it's not delivered
by tankers the way we're seeing the chemtrails. Further, the dispensing of chaff
creates such a nasty radar blackout that the idea of doing it in the vicinity
of a Terminal Control Area (major airport) is absolutely laughable. Such a drop
would bring such great threat to the lives of the people in transit, flying
in and out of the airport that I can guarantee you the FAA wouldn't permit it
for a second, regardless of a military mandate. It would literally ground commercial
aircraft flights as it slowly rained down into the population zones. It would
close airports for hours!
Bear in mind that common chaff is supposed to divert the attention of a missile
in flight. Quite often it takes the form of phosphorous and granulated aluminum
or steel. It gives a false radar target and also ignites and burns very hotly
in order to attract the attention of the infrared sensors in the missiles.
There is obscuration chaff,
but it's used in conjunction with high level bombing. It will obscure the aircraft
above it, but stop and think about that and then read what I wrote above about
dropping it over airports. The concept of using that over populated zones with
major airports is absolutely ridiculous.
Besides, it's not a very slick use for obscuration chaff because as much as
it blinds ground radar, it does the same to airborne radar too. It makes the
idea of an AWACS a useless tool.
From a commercial aircraft point of view, I would be quite alarmed as the captain
or 1st office of a commercial flight that passed through a concentration of
chaff. The chip indicators on all engines would come on with their audio alarms,
and cause a maintenance check on all engines when the aircraft grounded."
