Look to the skies.

So does anyone else look to the skies?
I looked up today to see the clear Southern California skies crisscrossed with mysterious contrails, they appeared around 3:30 P.M.

Vandenberg AFB is to the West of us.

I checked on the launch schedule for Vandenberg AFB but could not find anything scheduled for today

I see contrails made by jets.

I also saw a cloud that looked like the Virgin Mary but I'm not going to tell anyone because then they'll think I'M the crazy one.

Given the right conditions, contrails from any jet, whether it be military or commercial, can hang out for quite a while after passing through.

Could be but
All commercial air traffic flies East - West.

Only cross traffic we regularly have are the police helicopters.

I saw the Virgin Mary and a fluffy bunny.

John Wayne/Oakland LAX/SFO SD/all points North corridor flies along the coastline, could be the high altitude winds helped carry it further inland than normal. LV/OAK flies up the eastern side of the Sierras then cuts NW over Yosemite/Hetch Hetchy.

Another possibility is chemtrails for weather manipulation (cloud building).

I see them every morning up here, course I'm almost centered between SFO/OAK/SJO/SAC/Travis

Vandenberg used to fire a lot of missiles and stuff when I lived in Northern San Diego....we'd see the contrails out to the northwest over camp Pendelton.

They aren't required to tell anyone what they are doing as far as I know

Chemtrails for population control or climate control? the government isn't saying much about that, but one thing is certain they're not all contrails.

Vandenberg does have a launch schedule but I hope they would not be advertising the secret launches, we used to have a lot of evening launches that always looked neat.

Most people never knew that the Los Angeles area and San Gabriel Valley was protected by "The Ring of Supersonic Steel" 16 underground Nike/ Titan Missile bases ready to launch their Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles carrying a Thermonuclear payload at the Soviet Union.

Only now it will be North Korea.
