Aerosol Crimes
Clifford Carnicom, a New Mexico researcher who spent years photographing and sampling the skies over his hometown, lays out his case that the crisscrossing trails left by high-altitude aircraft are not ordinary jet contrails but a sustained spraying program. The film walks through five years of his own field work: time-lapse footage of grid patterns forming over otherwise clear sky, soil and water samples sent to independent labs, and readings Carnicom presents as evidence of barium and other metals well above expected background levels. He interviews pilots, scientists, and residents who describe respiratory symptoms they connect to spray days, and contrasts their testimony with official explanations that the trails are simple condensation. Carnicom narrates most of the film himself, walking viewers through his testing methodology and its limits, and pushes back on the position that nothing unusual is happening in the atmosphere. Whether or not his conclusions hold up, the film is a record of one of the earliest and most detailed citizen investigations into the chemtrail claim, built from Carnicom's own data rather than secondhand assertion.
