TEXAS -- The Contrail Research and Reporting Center writes that research is
needed in the relationship of Unusual Contrail Formations (UCFs) and flu-like
illnesses in areas where spraying has occurred. Usually four engine jet aircraft have
been video taped spraying at low level around the US leaving contrails at a few
thousand feet. The Contrail Center reports that North Texas has had unusual contrail
formations observed over the North Texas area for about ten days of the month.
According to Fox news Dallas affiliate, Channel 4, flu symptoms significantly
increased during the third and fourth weeks of December 1999. North Texas reported
increased flu symptoms: Plano - 98%, Lewisville - 81%, Lakewood - 76%, Dallas -
30%, and Ft. Worth - 25%. Doctors cited possible causes of the increases as due to
people traveling more during the holidays and spreading the viruses. Warm weather
has also delayed the flu season. The cities north of Dallas had the highest
increase in cases with flu symptoms. These are comparatively rural areas while the
larger cities -- where one might expect *more* flu cases -- had the *lower*
percentages. According to the "Flu-O-Meter" at "discoveryhealth.com," the flu levels in
Texas are reportedly "low." There appears to be a correlation between contrails and flu symptoms in the North Texas cities of Plano, The Colony, Carrollton and Lewisville during December 1999. I caution against reaching premature conclusions and advise more studies need to be conducted. There is, as yet, no conclusive evidence linking unusual contrail formations to illnesses. Heavier concentrations of unusual contrail formations and "conclouds" (artificial clouds that develop when these unusual "contrails" seem to extend and spread out) may be causing flu-like symptoms in people as a side-effect of some process rather than due to any viral agents being "sprayed" over our populations. We do not know what is actually taking place and that's why more research is needed. Thanks to Amy at Contrail Research and Reporting Center.
