February 27, 2002: Chemtrails - William Thomas

Art Bell hosts investigative journalist William Thomas, who originally broke the chemtrails story on this program in 1999. The broadcast begins with correspondent S.T. Brent playing two recorded interviews with an air traffic controller identified only as "Deep Sky," who confirms being ordered to reroute traffic for military exercises and acknowledges that the operations approximate weather modification experiments.

Thomas presents a major update from Deep Sky, who has since contacted controllers at over a dozen major airports including O'Hare, LAX, Atlanta, and all three New York airports. Every controller confirmed being asked to divert traffic due to military exercises since Christmas 2001, with radar scopes experiencing degradation. More than five controllers were specifically told the experiments involve climate. Thomas also discusses lab results from Espanola, Ontario, where aluminum particulates were found at five to seven times provincial health safety standards.

The program covers Congressman Dennis Kucinich's bill HR 2977, which originally named chemtrails before the term was removed under pressure in committee. Thomas reveals that Kucinich, who heads the Armed Services Oversight Committee, confirmed a Department of Defense program called Vision for 2020 drawing on Nikola Tesla technology from papers housed at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.
