well if anyone knows you guys should! what is this phenomena all about?
we all can see normal contrails but the other sort - the ones that just
hang in the air and spread wider and wider forming fake cirrus clouds,
are we being poisened, are they reflecting back sunlight? and who is
involved with it.
this is a genuine request for information and I would be very grateful
for your comments.

Step number one, learn how to recognize psuedoscience.

I have a page on my website that will help,
http://www.skywise711.com/Skeptic/WPBWT/index.html

There is also Carl Sagans Baloney Detection Kit,
http://www.carlsagan.com/revamp/carlsagan/baloney.html

Once you have these skills mastered then you can answer the
questions for yourself.

Another item of interest is the following article, "Unskilled
and Unaware of It: How Difficulties in Recognizing One's Own
Incompetence Lead to Inflated Self-Assessments"

A PDF version can be found here,
http://www.apa.org/journals/features/psp7761121.pdf

But a google search on that title will yield many sources.

From the abstract,

"Not only do these people reach erroneous conclusions and make
unfortunate choices, but their incompetence robs them of the
metacognitive ability to realize it."

This article will help you to understand why kooks and nutjobs
can't see their own stupidity.
