Introduction
Something was wrong with the forests.
I spent a good part of my youth in these woodlands, hiking and foraging, hunting and fishing, sleeping under the stars and cooking over an open fire. It had been more than a decade since I had visited these lands, and they had changed.
The trees and vegetation were stressed, the wildlife was sickly. Something was unwholesome about the very land. The enchanted forests of my youth had been corrupted, transformed into a mirkwood.
And the blue sky above was overcast, not with cirrus and cumulous clouds, but with persistent jet contrails that hung in the sky for hours, spreading to block out the sun. Was there some link between what was happening in the sky and what was happening in the forests?
Chemtrails
Anyone who researches chemtrails on the internet will become mired in numerous conspiracy sites making the wildest claims of a worldwide conspiracy to alter the chemistry of our atmosphere. Chemtrails are blamed for everything from climate change, drought and soil depletion, the epidemic of alzheimers and other aluminum-related diseases, a plot to make us all dependent on genetically-modified crops and mind control.
The most interesting theory is that chemtrails are part of a geoengineering effort to control global warming. Geoengineers first proposed in the 1990s to inject reflective substances into the upper atmosphere to deflect sunlight before it becomes trapped in the lower atmosphere by the greenhouse effect. Atomized aluminum is the preferred reflectant, followed by other atomized metals, and some other elements, notably barium.
Many sites claim to have scientific proof of chemtrails. Unfortunately, none of this proof was obtained in carefully designed experiments structured to eliminate other possibilities. At most this scientific proof is only suggestive.
Yet, as you sift through volumes of chemtrail pictures, witness accounts and other data, it is difficult to shake off the idea that something is happening up there. And there is reason to suspect that chemtrails are related to elevated aluminum, barium and strontium levels reported around the world.

Chemtrail Hoax?
I became aware of the chemtrail controversy in 2001, following 9-11. Over the next year, I noted elevated numbers of persistent contrails over the skies of Southeastern Michigan. Almost every day, the skies were covered with a grid of persistent contrails that would then spread out to create a dirty, hazy sky. I learned that elevated chemtrail activity was being reported around the globe in the year after the destruction of the twin towers.
I continued following the chemtrail controversy over the next couple of years, until I was researching global dimming for a series of articles on climate change. In my research, I was able to talk with atmospheric scientists about chemtrails. They assured me that it was a hoax. I was even shown satellite photos from the 1970s that featured persistent contrails.
The reason why this activity in the sky is now so notable is because air traffic has increased so much in the past couple of decades. It is notable now because people have noticed it. But persistent contrails have been with us at least since the 1970s. I seem to remember seeing them in my youth, though in nowhere near the number you can see nowadays.
As for the elevated levels of aluminum, barium and strontium, they could all be explained as products of local industry, and in some cases as being within the normal levels in the soil of specific regions. Not that we shouldn’t be alarmed by them, but without a well-designed scientific study, it is difficult to say what the cause is.

The Need for Answers
My interest in persistent contrails was renewed recently as I was preparing the Under Shattered Skies trilogy for publication. After sifting through websites once again, and viewing some of the documentaries now available on the subject, I am left wondering what is going on in our skies.
There are now a number of sites claiming to debunk chemtrails. The information they provide is also very compelling. But the so-called scientific studies they refer to are no better designed than the studies of the chemtrail theorists. Nor have the debunking sites managed to explain all of the phenomena observed.
I must note here that at present, chemtrail activity is a a minimum. I have not seen a single chemtrail since I resumed studying the sky over a week ago. This is very odd, after the extreme persistent contrail activity in the years following 9-11.
What is needed is a global scientific study designed to eliminate other potential explanations. Short of that, there is no way to prove or disprove chemtrails. And here is the catch 22: for such a study to take place, a number of governments and scientific academies must take the subject seriously enough to pursue it. Yet, if there is a global geoengineering conspiracy, the governments and industry scientists behind it would hardly want it brought to light.
HAARP
Chemtrails are often linked to HAARP.
HAARP stands for the High Frequency Active Aural Research Program. It consists of a large antenna array located near Gekona, Alaska. Intended to analyze the ionosphere and investigate the potential for developing ionospheric enhancement technology for radio communications and surveillance, the HAARP array directs high frequency radio waves into the upper atmosphere to excite a portion of the ionosphere.
HAARP has potential for global communication, especially with submarines. It could also be used for communication disruption. Ideas similar to HAARP were first proposed by Nikola Tesla a century ago. The apparatus as it exists today bears a striking resemblance to the patents of inventor Bernard Eastlund, filed in the mid-1980s. While BAE Advanced Systems, the company that built HAARP, insists it is not the same device covered in the Eastlund patent, it is interesting that this company now owns the patent.
Dr. Eastlund proposed his system as a land-based space weapons defense, using it to create a shield in the ionosphere against incoming space-based weapons. He also foresaw the use of his system in manipulating weather. The operators of HAARP maintain that their array broadcasts nowhere near the magnitude of radio waves necessary for Eastlund’s applications. Yet, there is evidence that HAARP rays are concentrated and boosted into the neighborhood of the required magnitude. And this says nothing about the capability of more recently built HAARP stations elsewhere around the globe.
Conspiracy theorists have connected HAARP to weather manipulation, earthquake propagation, and mind control. On the web, you can find sites and videos claiming that HAARP was behind the Japanese tsunami, as well as earthquakes in China and elsewhere. While much of this speculation is interesting, it is denied by those within the HAARP program, and numerous sites on the net debunk the HAARP conspiracy.
HAARP is linked to chemtrails through barium, one of the elements which it is claimed are being dispersed throughout the atmosphere via chemtrails. The original Eastlund patent proposes the production of barium clouds to help propagate HAARP waves around the world.
Once again, I have to say that while the information about HAARP is suggestive, and not a little alarming, without open admissions from government, scientists or industry, there is no way to determine whether the allegations about HAARP can be substantiated. A carefully controlled global scientific study could put an end to all of this speculation, but the same catch 22 applies here as related above to chemtrails.

Conclusion
What is to be done about all of this?
Either there is nothing to the growing mountain of testimony concerning chemtrails and HAARP, or the detractors a perpetrating a disinformation campaign. Like most conspiracy theories, whichever side of the coin you prefer precludes the other. So you are left relying on your gut instinct.
For myself, my gut instinct tells me there is something behind all of the speculation about chemtrails and HAARP, though of what it is, I am uncertain.
There is one thing I am certain of, however. The earth is a complex, nonlinear biogeological system. Without exhaustive study, it is difficult to predict the ultimate effects of any small change in the chemistry of the atmosphere or the electromagnetic fluctuations of the ionosphere. And without such an exhaustive study, it is downright criminally ignorant to make changes in either the atmosphere or the ionosphere.
Chaos theory has advanced a great deal since the construction of HAARP, and since the widespread propagation of persistent contrails. We know now that in a complex, nonlinear system, small changes can be magnified by reiteration and positive feedback until they produce system-wide turbulence. And this is precisely the fear that lies behind the chemtrail and HAARP controversy.
In closing, I am presenting links to several documentary videos about chemtrails and HAARP. They are well worth watching.
