Gosh, I hope we are talking about the same kind of clouds. I wrote an angry poem about them like 2 or 3 years ago on here. I researched the crap out of them and I am no conspiracy theorist but woah, why would cloud seeding be going on? or whatever it is? If you aren't talking about this phenomenon, PLEASE watch for these planes. It is happening everywhere. I've lived in 4 different states in the last 3 years. All the same spray planes. Hope you don't think I am crazy , I am dead serious on this!

I'm just talking of clouds in my imagination Roberto:-) thanks for the comment and your thoughts on clouds though- very interesting! Hugs jan xxx

oh my goodness. are you talking about these clouds I think yir talking about...I thought I was the only one who notices them. I watch them everyday. These weird looking silver planes fly by, and spray this white lines of stuff into diagonals in the sky on clear days. Then, over time, the lines expand into big rolling candy cane clouds and bam, a clear day with no disturbed radar, turns cloudy. And it's not Comtrails that disappear. these are some sort of chemical. Weirding me out! watch4them.
