Its funny that you put this thread up because i was coming back from lunch i noticed that same cloud formation (or whatever the heck that was) by the San Bernardino mountains. I was in the bus facing that way and thought it was kinda weird. Im in downtown Los Angeles by the way !

I was actually willing to discuss tis with you until I read this;

**obviously this is a contrail, I do not wish to discuss contrail/chemtrail nonsense and won't respond to it**

So your willing to discuss some outlandish theory that these three completely random lines, hold some meaning whether it be to do "rapture" or whatever, yet you aren't willing to discuss the existence of chemtrails, which actually have some (all be it speculatory) science behind it.

Tells me all I need to know about you, I bid you good-day sir.

Very interesting! I would place it under the fact that May 21, 2011 is three days away and it's going to be the Rapture. How exciting!

Rejoice, for He is coming

That is interesting... While walking my dogs 2 days ago I saw a similar pattern, but it was 4 vertical strikes and a diagonal one. Like a 5 using tally marks:

| | | | /
| | | /
| | / |
| / | |
/ | | |

I didn't take a picture or think "5 of what?!", I just thought it was odd.

Children are imaginative, adults can be as well, however, when an adult starts attaching meaning to random events/occurrences/objects it strongly indicates the possibility of a psychological disorder.

No, it doesn't at all. Central to any diagnosis of a psychological disorder is that the symptoms cause some kind of distress or disruption in a functional way for the person. You can see giant pink bunnies in three-piece suits everywhere you go, but you are not mentally ill unless that bothers you or causes you to bother other people.

Frankly, I also don't think the OP's perspective aligns very closely with an objective, empirical view of reality. But even psychologists -- perhaps especially psychologists -- understand that when people start talking about what they are really thinking, what comes out is generally only fleetingly acquainted with rationality. I guarantee that you have some perceptions or beliefs that could seem just as bizarre if pulled out of the context of your entire life. I'm not trying to hammer on you personally here, but to make a more subtle point about the difference between someone who lives in the mystery and someone who is genuinely ill. It can be a difficult difference to ascertain, but everything about this medium only makes it harder, which is why it's better to just assume you don't have enough information to analyze the poster and stick to deconstructing the post.

Which in this case I have trouble doing myself, because my grasp of chemtrail theory isn't strong enough, but I would start by asking what the purpose of sending this message would be, if it is a message?

Well I didn't see a "II" in the sky this morning...

Don't know if that's good or bad.

Obviously you have misunderstood the purpose of this forum. It's for personal stories...

If you were really trying to find out about me, you could easily find out my thoughts on chemtrails by looking at my posting history. I didn't want this thread to focus on that.

If I saw Jesus in a piece of toast, and I started a thread about it, including pictures....I probably wouldn't want to discuss whether toast is real, what kind of bread is it, Parkay or butter...

I've seen these too. I usually means a plane flew by...
