Each of the rockets released a chemical tracer that created milky, white clouds at the edge of space.
The products of the reaction when TMA is exposed to air or water are aluminum oxide, carbon dioxide and water vapor. Aluminum oxides are used to combat heartburn and to purify drinking water. Also, all three products occur naturally in the atmosphere. The TMA poses no threat to the public during preparation on the ground or during the release in space.
PRODUCTS OF COMBUSTION: Aluminum dusts, oxides, and alkyls; CO; CO2
I just don't understand how the element of AL (aluminum) can be safe in any amounts period.
About 8.2% of the earth's crust is composed of aluminum.
Some of the many uses for aluminium metal are in:
Transportation (automobiles, aircraft, trucks, railway cars, marine vessels, bicycles, etc.) as sheet, tube, castings, etc.
Packaging (cans, foil, etc.) Construction (windows, doors, siding, building wire, etc.).
A wide range of household items, from cooking utensils to baseball bats, watches.
Street lighting poles, sailing ship masts, walking poles, etc
Outer shells of consumer electronics, also cases for equipment e.g. photographic equipment.
Electrical transmission lines for power distribution
MKM steel and Alnico magnets
Super purity aluminium (SPA, 99.980% to 99.999% Al), used in electronics and CDs.
Heat sinks for electronic appliances such as transistors and CPUs.
Substrate material of metal-core copper clad laminates used in high brightness LED lighting.
Powdered aluminium is used in paint, and in pyrotechnics such as solid rocket fuels and thermite.
Aluminium can be reacted with hydrochloric acid or with sodium hydroxide to produce hydrogen gas.
A variety of countries, including France, Italy, Poland, Finland, Romania, Israel, and the former Yugoslavia, have issued coins struck in aluminium or aluminium-copper alloys.
Some guitar models sports aluminium diamond plates on the surface of the instruments, usually either chrome or black.
Kramer Guitars and Travis Bean are both known for having produced guitars with necks made of aluminium, which gives the instrument a very distinct sound.

A normal contrail (misidentfied as a "chemtrail") is billions of times more massive............
,,,,whereas a powder "chemtrail" would quickly dissipate.

The whole purpose of the experiment was to study the Jet Stream.
Be like putting color dye in an ocean to see where it goes.
