The purpose of aerosol injection discussed in the following article is to hide aircraft in order to avoid detection by infrared (IR) systems. Aerosol particles such as graphite, [1] Magnesium oxide (MgO), [2] and Silicon dioxide (SiO2) [3][4] are sprayed into the hot exhaust emissions which scatter and absorb IR radiation, so the aircraft can be less visible to IR sensors. According to the authors, continuing work in this area is its application on the supersonic aircrafts.
Military driven research experiments or activities of this nature [5] are not “for the express purpose” of altering temperature, weather, climate, or the intensity of sunlight. Therefore the experimentation would not be subject to Florida, Louisiana, and Tennessee laws, even though there would be significant environmental and human health impacts. This fact further underscores the importance of amending those laws in Florida, Louisiana, and Tennessee and enacting comprehensive measures in other states and nations to protect people and nature from experimentation involving hazardous pollution releases.

Flew into Chicago O’Hare on my way back from visiting family in the states…. On approach for landing we were just over broken low cloud cover with housing plainly visible below with a smattering of patchy snow on the ground… our plane was quite low by then obviously but then it started to swerve to the left … I looked out the right hand side of the window I was nearest to and so close to us, the reason our plane had to move was another jet, flying at our same altitude going the opposite direction and parallel to us, maybe a mile away… it was so close I could plainly see the huge cloud of beige dust billowing out the back end of the fuselage below the tail, not the wings… proof to me that these things are spewing stuff in the skies even at that low an altitude… I mean it was not transparent, it was so thick you could not see thru it at all and it stayed… I could only watch for a bit as our plane recorrected it’s flight path back to the right again rather quickly… also gave me a real sense of how fast these planes are moving… I am sure that plane was possibly not on our plane’s radar as other wise why the close shave and sudden maneuver? Do they not let other traffic know about these and this was a stuff up being way too close… and our pilot saw this and had to do the sudden move…
