The jet trails on Wallace’s tape looked different, Crabtree explained. But contacting the Wallaces would<br />

not be easy. They lived a rough mountain mile from the nearest pay phone. But Crabtree promised to<br />

send me the tape.<br />

When the tape arrived from ENS, I drove it down-island to a friend’s home. While her daughters played<br />

in another room, we sat on the couch as I slid the tape into a VCR normally reserved for cartoons.<br />

As the tape started playing, we stared at her TV. Then we both burst into laughter. The “story” was a<br />

bust!<br />

“Why those are just contrails,” I exclaimed. “We’ve got an hour of shaky video of contrails going across<br />

the sky!”<br />

My friend agreed. But we kept watching anyway. Five minutes went by. Ten...<br />

I stopped laughing.<br />

“Something’s wrong,” I exclaimed. “The same big planes are flying back-and-forth across the same<br />

patch of sky. Airliners don’t do that. Holding patterns are racetrack-shaped, never in parallel rows.<br />

Besides, the spacing we’re seeing violates FAA regulations for commercial airliner separation.”<br />

“Look at the sky,” S. said. “It’s clouding over.”<br />

Sure enough. Instead of dissipating like normal contrails, these cross-hatched plumes began to widen<br />

and spread across the sky. As we watched over the next half-hour, the strange trails blended together,<br />

turning a “blue sky” day into a milky murky overcast. The rest of the date-stamped tape repeated this<br />

strange motif over a period of days.<br />

I was baffled.<br />

I wrote to the videographer’s post office address, suggesting a telephone rendezvous. Sure enough, at<br />

the appointed time my phone rang. I took the call.<br />

Stopping only to drop quarters into the pay phone, William Wallace described how the big unmarked jets<br />

were almost daily crisscrossing the area, weaving a grid that came together to turn blue skies into a<br />

murky haze. Temperatures dropped. And as this unusual aerial activity continued for days and weeks,<br />

Wallace went on, the plants in their garden had wilted and collapsed. Then their dogs died.<br />

This was spooky! It certainly did not sound like normal contrails formed by the particulates and water<br />

vapor in jet exhaust. Wallace suggested I call Dr. Greg Hanford in California for another take on these<br />

strange aerial activities.<br />

Dr. Hanford directed me to a former Raytheon employee named Tommy Farmer out in Tennessee. One<br />

eyewitness led to another. Within a short time, I had 700 emails and interviews in my database from<br />

people across the United States who didn’t know what they were seeing, but were unanimously certain it<br />

wasn’t contrails that was causing them to coax family and friends out of their homes, or park their cars<br />

beside buys highways to aim camcorders up at the sky.<br />

During my time in Kuwait as a member of the Gulf Emergency Response Team, I had covered that<br />

disastrous “eco war” for Environment News Service, sending out dispatches from burning oil fields and<br />

the crude-saturated Persian Gulf over that trashed city’s only working fax line.<br />

Although I didn’t know it then, I was now about to being reporting on another environmental war that<br />

would consume my concentration for the next decade and beyond.
