This morning just as I was leaving for work. The sun had risen behind that house half an hour earlier so you're looking at the shadowed side of the low cloud and it appears dark. The contrails are brightly lit in contrast. There are some very strong winds up there at the moment which you can see...

The trouble with that is that most people aren't familiar with sodium metal. The only reference to "sodium" many people have is on a food label, when it is (to the layman) synonymous with "salt". Water is a possibility. People know what oxygen is, and they probably have an idea what hydrogen...

The test method uses ICP-AES. From Wikipedia's description of the method: Quite a lot of jargon there, but basically the sample is heated up to about 12,000 degrees Fahrenheit, which breaks all compounds down into their constituent atoms, each of which then emits a characteristic "fingerprint"...

The picture with the truck was clearly taken from the same camera location, but I don't see any evidence that it was created from the same video. The lighting is totally different (and looks consistent to me) and the vegetation is also different.

Yes, a quick glance at the periodic table will show you that there are only four metals "lighter" than aluminium (five if you count boron as a metal), so I have no idea where the "heavy metal" thing comes from. Whether you use atomic mass, atomic number or physical density as your criterion...

Public internet access. And also the chemtrail hoax. The two may be related. I suggest you read, for example, the Royal Society report on the regulation of geoengineering. It specifically states that weather modification is not considered to be geoengineering. And just think about it. How...

Your analogy with NSA snooping is totally bogus. For one, I don't recall anybody claiming that the government wasn't snooping on people. I remember back from when I first went on the internet (Usenet, circa 1995), people jokingly posting long strings of "key words" in their signature blocks that...

I'm not sure why you are quoting the high-resolution image there. They won't look alike. My point was simply to show that if there was anything there, you would be able to see it in enormous detail. That is the exact same location as the first of the "anomalies" you posted, and yet even at 50cm...

An hour after two bombs have just gone off? The phrase "bomb squad activities" would mean "response to the bombs and checking to make damn sure there aren't any more bombs!". I would be astonished if there weren't controlled explosions in the aftermath of such an event.

The fact it is perfectly aligned with true north, and therefore with the pixel grid, shows that it is just a compression artifact. Compare with this image. Notice the regular grid, even in the background? It is especially noticeable over at the left-hand side.

It's a boulder. The "lumpy bit" is a crater, with the light coming from the left. It's a boulder on the shadowed downslope of the crater, with the top lit by the sun, and casting a very long shadow down the slope. Looking at the shadows you can see that the sun angle is close to the angle of the...

Notice how all those "right-angles" are parallel to the edges of the image strips? As a rule of thumb, if you see 90-degree angles on satellite imagery where you wouldn't expect it, look at the pixels. If they're aligned with the pixel grid, there is your answer.

No. The controlled explosion was because of the terrorist attack! Two bombs have already gone off. The police are now looking to see if there are any others. If they find any more suspicious looking bags, they will blow them up. That is what a controlled explosion is. And they are alerting the...

And another example from this year explaining the "controlled explosion" thing: http://www.itv.com/news/london/story/2014-09-08/thousands-disrupted-after-controlled-explosion-at-luton-airport/ Something suspicious is found, the bomb squad are called, and it is then blown up. In this case...

Most likely to allay people's fears if they hear another loud bang! Controlled explosions after an attack or terror alert are common practice, especially in a chaotic situation when people will have fled and dropped their bags etc. You are trying to conflate "controlled explosion" with a...

John, if you want to look at moon images, Google Moon is frankly terrible. It uses horribly low-contrast, dirty scans of the old photos. If you use the LROC QuickMap site, you can see much cleaner, better scans of old photos, and then if you zoom in you will see ultra close-up views down to 50cm...

You're just looking at very dirty scans of very low-resolution photographs of the moon. Pictures coming of the first area in question...

You make no sense at all Nathan. If it was a super-secret false-flag drill then why on earth would the Boston Globe tweet that it was a drill? [off topic material removed]

Looking at these old magazine articles etc I am often struck by just how "dumbed-down" we have become. Even the letters pages of newspapers had some fairly scholarly discussions of contrails. You certainly wouldn't see that nowadays!

After clear blue cloudless (and contrail-less) skies yesterday morning, conditions gradually got better for contrail formation through the afternoon, ahead of a band of rain this morning. There was quite a narrow, and relatively low, "window" for persistent contrails, and I caught this one from...
