My reply email from Air Traffic control. Regarding a chemtrail.

I will start by showing some of the photos taken on the day.

To let you know we do live on a flight parth for all commercial aircraft coming into Adelaide. Also daily we have commercial aircraft like " Qantas" flying from Melbourne " East" to Perth "West" at a average height of 35,000 feet..

The following is a email I received from Airservices Australia who are a Governing corporation that handle all Air Traffic control in Australia.

I wrote to them enquiring information on a chemtrail that we [ Wife ] saw on 15 September 2010 being dumped right over us. The plane was spotted coming from a Westerly direction and heading S/E direction flying a low altitude.

The chemtrail lasted in the sky for around 3hrs while spreading a finally covering the sky in a grey mist.

Dear Mr B.........

Thank you for your inquiry. Please accept my apologies for the delays in responding.

Aircraft regularly overfly Adelaide at high altitudes and at times may leave 'contrails' as described. Depending on atmospheric conditions, these can last for a few seconds or minutes, or be visible for several hours.

[ Gary ] I have never seen a contrail last for several hours !!. 

While we are not able to identify the particular aircraft responsible for the contrail you witnessed on 15 September based on the information provided, the flight route described is not unusual.

[ Gary ]  “Not able to identify the particular aircraft”. According to your web site you handle all Air Traffic control. Which means according to my understanding you should be able to identify all aircraft in the air space.

International flights between Perth and destinations in South-East Asia may overfly Adelaide as airlines look to take advantage of favourable winds at high levels before turning north.

 “Airlines look to take advantage of favourable winds at high levels before turning north”

[ Gary ] Why would you fly from Perth head s/e past Adelaide do a u-turn fly North if you were heading for South East Asia with no stops in between.

In addition, some long haul flights between the Middle East and airports on the Australian east coast also fly over Adelaide.

These flights occur on a daily basis, but in most conditions would be invisible to an observer on the ground due to the height at which the aircraft is flying.

I trust this information assists with your inquiry.
