I think people with strong beliefs sometimes have rather selective memories. Thanks Greg, great videos! I think people with strong beliefs sometimes have rather selective memories.

Many of the chemtrail believers repeatedly claim that normal contrails are very short and use videos of airliners at different altitudes making different length contrails as some sort of distinguishing example between "chemtrails" and contrails. Whilst this is an amusing display of ignorance, it is interesting to note that contrails of such a length that would be classified by such deluded folk as "chemtrails" appear in old promotional films about airliners released in the 1950s. Whilst "chemtrails" are supposedly a new phenomena begun about 1998, identical long trails were proudly displayed promotional films in cinemas around the world showcasing new airliners such as the Boeing 377 Stratocruiser (a piston engined propellor plane that could fly at similar altitude to modern jet airliners) and the Boeing 707. The film of the first year of operation of the 707 shows numerous large persistent contrails that could only be labelled "chemtrails" by delusional conspiracist's arbitrary comparative length definitions. Even in 1950 sky spanning persistent contrails were a regular sight. Here is a Pan-Am film of the Boeing 377 stratocruiser piston engined passenger propellor plane http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGtc8GelfM4 at 4:59 & 5:58 & http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Fwp9Vheh8E at 0:23 Look at this classic old 1959 film of the 707 in its first year of operation. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p217RewRPsc at 7:32 &1:20 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=heioZ_T78qw at 1:40 Hi Uncinus.
