2. BBC, May 1, 2000: "take fewer holiday flights, for the sake <strong>of</strong> the Earth' climate" (mostly on CO2 emissions; contrails not mentioned): http://news.bbc.co.uk/...<br />

3. AUSTRIA: Question to the Austrian Parliament: "Ist Ihnen bekannt, daß laut einer einschlägigen Studie die Wolkenbildung durch die Kondensstreifen erheblich<br />

gefördert wird und in welcher Form wird dieser Umstand bei der Festlegung der Flugrouten berücksichtigt bzw. wer kommt für allfällige Schäden auf?":<br />

http://www.parlinkom.gv.at/... - and <strong>of</strong>ficial reply: "Allfällige Wolkenbildung durch Kondensstreifen wird bei Festlegung von Flugrouten nicht berücksichtigt": click<br />

UFO ISSUES ... up<br />

1. Hong Kong Observatory reports that UFO was a contrail: "In the past, most aircraft in Hong Kong were seen at low altitudes either taking <strong>of</strong>f or landing. Therefore,<br />

contrails have not <strong>of</strong>ten been recorded in Hong Kong," the spokesman added (January 6, 1999): http://www.info.gov.hk/...<br />

clarity: http://www.ahoymatey.com/...<br />

2. Research using correllated space and ground observations. There is much to learn on how contrails decay.<br />

3. Descriptions on how contrails are measured in standard cloud-cover statistics.<br />

4. Photos <strong>of</strong> contrails after supersonic aircraft.<br />

5. Photos <strong>of</strong> pre-WWII contrails.<br />

5. Contrails for kids: Contrails over Lisbon, Portugal: "Vapor trails, like those crossing this image, are formed by the combustion <strong>of</strong> airplane fuel when a plane passes<br />

through a part <strong>of</strong> the atmosphere with relatively high humidity. The contrails themselves are actually plumes <strong>of</strong> ice crystals that can persist in the atmosphere for several<br />

hours. Most <strong>of</strong> these contrails are probably intercontinental flights coming and going from Madrid, Spain": http://a52.g.akamaitech.net... from<br />
