Our concern over the contrails observed was largely due to the severity in respiratory illnesses that have struck our family and friends. A very close friend of ours, who was in perfect health,
suddenly had one lung collapse overnight. One parent of another friend developed a serious case of pneumonia and the other parent of the same friend was admitted to the hospital for respiratory        distress. They were held in the hospital's hallway for over 24 hours until a room could be found. This was due to the large amounts of patients recently admitted for various respiratory ailments. We have
observed these contrails very carefully. They do not just float away. They spread across the sky for hours to the point that what once was a blue sky now becomes gloomy and silvery gray. It becomes so overcast that it blocks the sun.

       We are not scientists but we are aware of our surroundings and in all our years we have never witnessed any cloud formation or exhaust from normal aircraft creating what we have been observing. It is for these reasons we decided to forward our photos to you. We continue to hope that the truth reveals itself in what has been taking place. Thank you again."
