Operation Cloverleaf

A few days ago I was riding in a friend's Jeep down NW 33 Ave in Portland. I looked up in the sky and saw a strange sight. I commented to my friend who was driving. "Look at that…" He looked up in the sky and was equally bemused.

There were eight parallel trails across the sky. You know, when a jet flies by at high altitude, it leaves a jet trail. Well, on that particular day, there were eight of them. All parallel to one another, and all dispersed about the same. It looked like they were all made within a minute of one another.

We went on about our business for about an hour when I happened to look up again. Those eight trails were still there, still streaking across the sky in a North-South direction (South-North?). They hadn't dissipated much, like the jet trails I remembered from the past that always grow wider and eventually break up and go away.

I thought it was odd.

Jump forward to today. I get about 500 spam messages a day. My email address has been around for 12 years, so that's no surprise. Sometimes for kicks, I'll quickly click through some of the spam to see what the big items are this week. One I clicked on purely by chance told me to Google™ "Operation Cloverleaf". Since I always do everything my spam tells me to do, I Googled™ it.

Oh My God. My close friends know that I am never one to pass up a good conspiracy theory. And here is a doozie.

Yes, I said doozie.

According to one website, it appears that most of the governments of the world are cooperating on a global scale to change the environment. The gist of what I read was that commercial airlines are being paid by governments to spread things like aluminum shavings in the high atmosphere to reflect the harmful UV rays that used to be handled by the ozone layer back into space. We're buying extra time to allow the ozone layer to rebuild itself before all life on this planet is wiped out (in as little as 30 years). That's the happy explanation.

According to another, it appears that the governments of the world are spraying toxic substances on it's populations from 30,000 feet in order to squelch peaceful demonstrations and crowded city streets.

I even found a link that shows the 12 most likely reasons this is being done, listed in order. My favorite is #12.

It's amazing to me that there is so much out there. I could go on, but I'd just be paraphrasing. Read them for yourself. Google™ "Operation Cloverleaf" and see how many hits you get. I got about 10,400.

The most conspiratorial part to me seems to be that I noticed the stripes on my own, and then the spam arrived.

Enjoy, be scared a little, get a hepa filter, and do all your exersize inside when you see the stripes in the sky.
