SEATTLE (Reuters) - An earthquake measured at a magnitude of 4.3 struck near Mount St. Helens in Washington state on Monday, shaking an area extending north to Puget Sound and south across the Oregon border, geologists said.

It was the biggest tremor to hit the geologically active seismic zone around Mount St. Helens since 1981, a year after the volcano erupted in a catastrophic blast that decimated over 200 square miles of forest, said Carolyn Driedger, a hydrologist for the U.S. Geological Survey's Cascades Volcano Observatory in Vancouver, Washington.
There were no reports of damage or injuries, but the main tremor was felt over a distance of roughly 120 miles from north to south, said Bill Steele, a spokesman for the University of Washington's Pacific Northwest Seismic Network.
The quake, recorded at 10:35 a.m. local time, was centered about 5 1/2 miles north of the Mount St. Helens crater at a depth roughly 3 miles underground.
It was followed by three aftershocks measuring between 2.0 and 3.0 in magnitude and more than 100 smaller tremors, Steele told Reuters.
He said the quake was likely noticed by thousands of people, and that at least 870 people reported feeling the tremor by registering their experience on the network's website.
Visitors to the Mount St. Helens national Volcanic Monument, about 40 miles from the quake's epicenter, felt several seconds of ground motion, said Peter Frenzen, a scientist at the park.
"One of our visitors told me it felt like a truck hit the building," he said.
Although the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens began with a 5.2 earthquake, and a jolt of similar size hit the area the following year, geologists do not believe the latest tremor was triggered by changes within the volcano itself, Steele said.
Mount St. Helens remains the most active volcano in the Cascades range, though no major volcanic activity has been detected there since 2008.

Identifying Chemtrail Airplanes by Ken Bradley
Received this FABULOUS chemtrail report just now!
Starting around dawn on Sunday the 13th in Las Vegas we got hammered by commercial jets flying in all directions. I stepped out of the house to check the sky around 7:30AM and and this is what I saw.
Image 2082--looking southwest toward LAX where a majority of the spray planes come from.
Image 2083--looking northeast where the LAX planes fly out of the Las Vegas area.
Image 2084--looking east, almost all the clouds are CTs.
Image 2085--looking east again.
I ran back inside and started Flight Aware and Flight Explorer, grabbed my cameras and waited for a plane to fly overhead. While waiting I took these photos.
Image 2086--a shot almost straight up at the expanding CTs.
Image 2087--looking northeast at trails left by planes as I was starting up the software.
Image 2088--looking southwest toward LAX at CTs left by prior planes, that's my tree in the front yard on the right.
I could see a plane out of LAX chemtrailling as it entered the Las Vegas area. This plane was going to fly right over the top of my house.
Image 2089--the plume the coming plane left as it chemtrailed over Las Vegas.
COA556 B738 LAX-Cleveland--a close up of the plane as it flew over the top of my house.
Using Flight Aware and Flight Explorer I was able to identify exactly which plane was chemtrailling at 7:54AM as it overflew my house. You can see from the photo that the plane is all white on the bottom with two black circles in mid-section. The black circles are the wheels and characteristic of the Boeing 737-800 or B738. Around 7:54AM there were two B738s in the air around Las Vegas, one was a Continental Airlines B738 and the other was a Delta Airlines B738. Continental uses an all white paint scheme on the bottom of their planes while Delta uses a blue oval on the bottom of their planes. So the plane was Continental Flight 556 out of Los Angeles going to Cleveland.
COA556--the Flight Aware info for Continental 556.
Here's the flight numbers of the other four planes I was able to ID.
AirTran--TRS890
Virgin--VRD404
Delta--DAL1212
Air Canada--ACA790

ST. LOUIS (KMOX) – Enough of the cabin fever! It’s time to get out and walk on bare ground again.
Most of the ice and snow is fading fast, helped along by temperatures in the 50′s and lower 60′s.
Sunday, it looked like anyone who wasn’t at the St. Louis Zoo was at the car wash. Both were extremely busy.
St. Louisans were also making fashion statements. T-shirts and shorts seemed to be the preferred weekend wear.
And now that we can get outside, a look up to the sky shows a large number of jet contrails —long cloud-like lines made by planes flying at high altitudes. Upper atmosphere conditions are such that some of those lines make designs. We’ve seen the letter “X” in the sky and, from a certain angle, what looks like a large white box perched on top of the Gateway Arch.
RED FLAG ALERT! Atlanta CBS News Propaganda
Sen. Isakson: Government Is Not Spraying Chemicals From Planes
Sen. Johnny Isakson Said There Is No Truth To Chemtrail Conspiracy
ATLANTA -- "It's not happening," said Senator Johnny Isakson regarding a conspiracy theory that the government is poisoning Americans with chemicals sprayed by planes. CBS Atlanta questioned Isakson about the theory after it received thousands of e-mails from people convinced it is happening. The e-mails followed a story CBS Atlanta aired on the chemtrail conspiracy theory on Feb. 2.
Chemtrails is a word theorists use to describe some white lines left by jets in the sky. They believe the particles in the white lines are actually bits of heavy metals like aluminum, barium and strontium. Jet contrails are actually made of water vapor that's released by a plane's engine and freezes in high altitudes. A group of folks from Metro Atlanta met with CBS Atlanta to talk about their concerns about chemtrails. Many fear the chemicals can cause serious health issues.
Rich Clarke of Atlanta said, "The aluminum is showing up, the barium is showing up, the strontium is showing up in rain water and we don't know how it's getting there." But these folks are convinced it is a top secret government conspiracy. They said they can spot chemtrails because they last longer than normal contrails and make various lines and designs.
Andrea Lyle of Fayetteville said, "I want to know when they're going to tell the public exactly what they're doing." Some believe the government may be spraying chemicals with the intention of controlling weather to combat global warming.
"Please Senator Isakson, make a statement in public, in front of God and country and let us know what this is. What is going on?" pleaded Carl Swensson of Stockbridge.
"I know nothing about that," said Sen. Isakson. "I think that's a theory some people have but there's no evidence it's happening. And it's not happening."
Scientists have talked about and studied the idea of using chemicals to modify the weather. It is called geoengineering. It is not an idea Isakson said he supports. "I believe in the creation of the Earth by God and I believe Mother Nature takes care of our atmosphere. It's up to us to live within it and protect it, not try to change it," said Isakson.
But these folks are part of a growing international movement found in large part on the Internet that believes geoengineering is happening now. Various government agencies have denied it for years. When asked how they respond to people who think they are crazy, Clarke responded, "I think being skeptical is a good thing. I think one should go out and try to find it out for themselves."
CBS meteorologist Justin Lock looked at videos of so-called chemtrails and said there is nothing that led him to believe they are anything more than jet contrails made of frozen water vapor.

Description of incident:
I went into my front yard around 5:20 pm on 2/11 and immediately saw these "contrails", different from any that I've ever seen.
I saw no planes or change whatsoever to the trails except they moved rather quickly to the east. If they were being blown by high winds it wasn't changing their shape at all.
I never saw any planes or other contrails during this time.
The trails could have originated from Eglin Air Force Base (AFB) located approximately 3 miles (5 kilometers) southwest of Valparaiso, Florida in Okaloosa County.

(APN) ATLANTA -- Over the last several months, Atlanta Progressive News and Atlanta residents have been documenting an increase in white lines left from airplanes
flying overhead, sometimes covering Atlanta's skies with persistent plane contrails.
Persistent airplane contrails have in fact been appearing more and more all over the country and creating controversy, according to numerous television
news reports from other US cities.
The white trails sometimes stretch from horizon to horizon, and instead of dissipating within seconds like most normal contrails do, they get wider, lingering until they merge with
other such contrails to create an artificial cloud.
APN began collecting photographic evidence of these contrails in December 2010. While APN is undertaking a thorough investigation of what these persistent contrails
are, why they linger, and what the environmental impacts may be--which is still ongoing--this article represents the information we have uncovered to date.
Meanwhile, CBS Atlanta TV news ran a report on the persistent contrails a couple weeks ago, focusing on conspiracy theories that such contrails--or chemtrails, as they
are commonly called--are being deliberately sprayed by the US government as part of geoengineering experiments, designed to impact the climate.
While APN has certainly not ruled the hypothesis of US government experiments--to be sure, US history is filled with all kinds of covert government testing programs--
our investigation has proceeded rather from the open-ended questions listed above. And even if they are perfectly normal airplane contrails, air quality concerns may
still be warranted.
According to a Discovery Channel documentary on chemtrails, there are several pollutants which come out of normal airplane contrails, including nitrogen oxide,
nitrogen dioxide, nitric acid, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and methane.
Last year, Michael Murphy produced a documentary called, "What In The World Are They Spraying," which examines the contrail/chemtrail phenomenon. The documentary
debuted in Atlanta on October 23, 2010, at the Atlanta History Center on West Paces Ferry Road.
Since the film debuted, local activists have also been hosting additional screenings at public libraries throughout the Atlanta area.
"What most people call chemtrails are what scientists and geoengineers call trails from stratospheric aerosol geoengineering programs where aerosols/chemicals are
sprayed out of airplanes in the atmosphere and spread out eventually creating cloud cover that blocks the sun," Murphy told APN.
"These are seen on a regular basis above every major city in the US and around the world. After these trails are witnessed they leave a measurable amount of aluminum,
barium, strontium, and other toxic metals and chemicals," Murphy claims. "These trails match geoengineers' plans and proposals for aerosol spraying; the metal fallout
from these trails match numerous patents designed for spraying aerosol aluminum from airplanes; and thousands of tests taken from the fallout match geoengineers' plans
exactly," Murphy said.
Murphy doubts that the persistent contrails witnessed in recent months are normal airplane exhaust. "Persistent contrails are condensation that persists longer than
the normal contrail. Persistent contrail are very rare and require very specific atmospheric conditions which include very cold and very humid air," Murphy said.
One could argue that the increase in persistent contrails over Atlanta skies is due to an increase in airplane traffic.
However, the documentary shows that persistent contrails have been appearing over remote, rural areas, where such air traffic typically does not occur, including
Lake Shasta, California; Show Low, Arizona;
An undated government report posted on the US Air Force website, "Contrails Facts," responds directly to what it calls the Chemtrail Hoax.
"A hoax that has been around since 1996 accuses the Air Force of being involved in spraying the US population with mysterious substances and show various Air Force
aircraft releasing sprays or generating unusual contrail patterns," the Air Force writes.
"Several authors cite an Air University research paper titled 'Weather as a Force Multiplier: Owning the Weather in 2025' that suggests the Air Force is conducting
weather modification experiments. The purpose of that paper was part of a thesis to outline a strategy for the use of a future weather modification system to achieve
military objectives and it does not reflect current military policy, practice, or capability," the report states.
"The Air Force's policy is to observe and forecast the weather. The Air Force is focused on observing and forecasting the weather so the information can be used to
support military operations. The Air Force is not conducting any weather modification experiments or programs and has no plans to do so in the future," the report
states.
The report also discusses the atmospheric conditions which impact whether a contrail persists or dissipates.
"For a contrail to form, suitable conditions must occur immediately behind a jet engine in the expanding engine exhaust plume. A contrail will form if, as the exhaust
gases cool and mix with surrounding air, the humidity becomes high enough (or, equivalently, the air temperature becomes low enough) for liquid water to condense on
particles and form liquid droplets. If the local air is cold enough, these newly formed droplets then freeze and form ice particles that make up a contrail," the
report states.
"Because the basic processes are very well understood, contrail formation for a given aircraft flight can be accurately predicted if atmospheric temperature and
humidity conditions are known. After the initial formation of ice, a contrail evolves in one of two ways. If the humidity is low, the contrail will be short-lived.
Newly formed ice particles will quickly evaporate. The resulting contrail will extend only a short distance behind the aircraft," the report states.
"If the humidity is high, the contrail will be persistent. Newly formed ice particles will continue to grow in size by taking water from the surrounding atmosphere.
The resulting lineshaped contrail extends for large distances behind an aircraft. Persistent contrails can last for hours while growing to several kilometers in width
and 200 to 400 meters in height. Contrails spread because of air turbulence created by the passage of aircraft, differences in wind speed along the flight track,
and possibly through effects of solar heating," the report states.
APN contacted the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), which provided a link to another report on airplane contrails, "Contrail Education,"
produced by the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and referred APN to several other agencies.
APN also contacted the US Environmental Protection Agency's Atlanta regional office, which provided a link to an EPA website on airplane pollution and referred APN
to its national office. APN will contact these additional agencies and offices in continuing to investigate persistent contrails.
GEO-ENGINEERING
While it is not clear whether the persistent contrails witnessed recently are the result of a geo-engineering program. However, geo-engineering is a real industry
being pursued by entrepreneurs who see financial opportunity in the climate change crisis.
US patent #5003186 from 1991 titled "Stratospheric Welsbach Seeding for Reduction of Global Warming" is also known as the Welsbach Patent. The Welsbach materials
include metal oxides such as aluminum oxide.
One technique proposed in the "Welsbach Patent" was to add tiny metallic particles to the jet fuel and emit them from the jet engine exhaust while the airline was at
cruising altitudes.
Geoenginnering Watch states that, "Extremely high quantities of aluminum, barium, strontium and other metals and chemicals are showing up in rainwater, surface water,
and air. In just the last four years, citizens in the Pacific Northwest have taken dozens of tests where the levels of aluminum has escalated hundreds of times from
the first tests. Some tests of single rain events have elevated nearly 50,000 percent from the original 7 parts per billion."
Some of the evidence of increased aluminum in air, soil, and water, is presented in the documentary.
"The metals found exactly match the primary elements listed in a host of geo-engineering patents assigned to Hughes Aircraft, Department of Defense (DOD), Raytheon,
and others. These patents describe the specific goal of creating artificial cloud cover and other forms of weather/climate modification."
The California State Department of Health, Drinking Water Division collects all of the water test date from every public drinking water source in California. It
discovered that Barium, Magnesium, Lead, Manganese, Aluminum, Iron, Sodium, and Specific Conductance (the ability of water to conduct a charge), were being found under
unusual circumstances in our drinking water supplies. Unusual spikes were occurring in almost all drinking water sources in Mendocino County and in other counties
throughout the State of California, since 1994.
The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) met in San Diego, California, on February 20, 2010, and brought together climate scientists, geologists,
and social policy scholars to discuss geoengineering and how to use it to combat global warming. Proposals included altering the atmosphere to make it reflect away
more of the heat of the sun or seeding clouds above the oceans.
USA Today newspaper reports that Microsoft founder Bill Gates has turned his attention to controlling the weather. Five US Patent and Trade Office patent applications,
made public on July 09, 2010, propose slowing hurricanes. If issued, the patents offer 18 years of legal rights to the idea for Gates and co-inventors, including
climate scientist Ken Caldeira of the Carnegie Institution of Washington.
Scott Barrett, an economist at Columbia University’s Earth Institute, writes, "In contrast to emission reductions, this approach [geo-engineering] is inexpensive and
can be undertaken by a single country, unilaterally. But geoengineering also has worrying consequences: it may harm some countries; it would not address ocean
acidification; it would pose new risks. The fundamental challenge posed by this new technology is not free riding but governance: who should decide if and under what
circumstances geoengineering should be used?"
On November 05, 2009, with US Rep. Bart Gordon (D-TN) presiding, the US Science and Technology Committee held a hearing to introduce the concept of climate engineering.
On February 04, 2010, with US Rep. Brian Baird (D-WA) presiding, the Subcommittee on Energy and Environment held a hearing to explore the scientific foundation of
several climate engineering proposals.
On March 18, 2010, Gordon's Committee held a hearing to explore the domestic and international governance needs to initiate and guide a climate engineering research
program.
ATTEMPTS TO REACH CONGRESS
In the documentary, Murphy and other question Members of Congress about geo-engineering. Most Members either did not know about geoengineering or ignored and avoided
the documentary crew's questions.
Only US Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) said she would accept their mountain of evidence and turn it over to Mr. Phil Lavelle, an aide, to check out.
APN called Feinstein's office to see what they learned. Lavell did not return two weeks of phonecalls seeking comment.
"Senator Chambliss (R-GA) is aware of ongoing discussion regarding geo-engineering. At this time, no legislation has been introduced. However, should legislation be brought forth for consideration, Senator Chambliss will thoroughly review before deciding whether to support it," Ashley Nelson Saunders, Senator Chambliss's press secretary, told APN.
Chambliss's office did not address the persistent contrails already appearing over Atlanta skies, despite photographs provided by APN.
US Rep. Hank Johnson's (D-GA) office did not respond to several requests for comment. Neither did US Rep. Dennis Kucinich's (D-OH) office.
Brenda Jones, press secretary of US Rep. John Lewis (D-GA), told APN "The best route to find more information on these trails and geoengineering would be to contact
the staff of the chairmen who held the hearing on Geoengineering." However, neither of the two Chairmen, Gordon and Baird, are serving in Congress any longer.

One technique proposed in the "Welsbach Patent" was to add tiny metallic particles to the jet fuel and emit them from the jet engine exhaust while the airline was at cruising altitudes.
Geoengineering Watch states that, "Extremely high quantities of aluminum, barium, strontium and other metals and chemicals are showing up in rainwater, surface water, and air. In just the last four years, citizens in the Pacific Northwest have taken dozens of tests where the levels of aluminum has escalated hundreds of times from the first tests. Some tests of single rain events have elevated nearly 50,000 percent from the original 7 parts per billion."
Some of the evidence of increased aluminum in air, soil, and water, is presented in the documentary.
"The metals found exactly match the primary elements listed in a host of geo-engineering patents assigned to Hughes Aircraft, Department of Defense (DOD), Raytheon, and others. These patents describe the specific goal of creating artificial cloud cover and other forms of weather/climate modification."
The California State Department of Health, Drinking Water Division collects all of the water test data from every public drinking water source in California. It discovered that Barium, Magnesium, Lead, Manganese, Aluminum, Iron, Sodium, and Specific Conductance (the ability of water to conduct a charge), were being found under unusual circumstances in our drinking water supplies. Unusual spikes were occurring in almost all drinking water sources in Mendocino County and in other counties throughout the State of California, since 1994.
The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) met in San Diego, California, on February 20, 2010, and brought together climate scientists, geologists, and social policy scholars to discuss geoengineering and how to use it to combat global warming. Proposals included altering the atmosphere to make it reflect away more of the heat of the sun or seeding clouds above the oceans.
USA Today newspaper reports that Microsoft founder Bill Gates has turned his attention to controlling the weather. Five US Patent and Trade Office patent applications, made public on July 09, 2010, propose slowing hurricanes. If issued, the patents offer 18 years of legal rights to the idea for Gates and co-inventors, including climate scientist Ken Caldeira of the Carnegie Institution of Washington.
Scott Barrett, an economist at Columbia University’s Earth Institute, writes, "In contrast to emission reductions, this approach [geo-engineering] is inexpensive and can be undertaken by a single country, unilaterally. But geoengineering also has worrying consequences: it may harm some countries; it would not address ocean acidification; it would pose new risks. The fundamental challenge posed by this new technology is not free riding but governance: who should decide if and under what circumstances geoengineering should be used?"
On November 05, 2009, with US Rep. Bart Gordon (D-TN) presiding, the US Science and Technology Committee held a hearing to introduce the concept of climate engineering.
On February 04, 2010, with US Rep. Brian Baird (D-WA) presiding, the Subcommittee on Energy and Environment held a hearing to explore the scientific foundation of several climate engineering proposals.
On March 18, 2010, Gordon's Committee held a hearing to explore the domestic and international governance needs to initiate and guide a climate engineering research program.
ATTEMPTS TO REACH CONGRESS
In the documentary, Murphy and other question Members of Congress about geo-engineering. Most Members either did not know about geoengineering or ignored and avoided the documentary crew's questions.
Only US Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) said she would accept their mountain of evidence and turn it over to Mr. Phil Lavelle, an aide, to check out.
APN called Feinstein's office to see what they learned. Lavell did not return two weeks of phonecalls seeking comment.
"Senator Chambliss (R-GA) is aware of ongoing discussion regarding geo-engineering. At this time, no legislation has been introduced. However, should legislation be brought forth for consideration, Senator Chambliss will thoroughly review before deciding whether to support it," Ashley Nelson Saunders, Senator Chambliss's press secretary, told APN.
Chambliss's office did not address the persistent contrails already appearing over Atlanta skies, despite photographs provided by APN.
US Rep. Hank Johnson's (D-GA) office did not respond to several requests for comment. Neither did US Rep. Dennis Kucinich's (D-OH) office.
Brenda Jones, press secretary of US Rep. John Lewis (D-GA), told APN "The best route to find more information on these trails and geoengineering would be to contact the staff of the chairmen who held the hearing on Geoengineering." However, neither of the two Chairmen, Gordon and Baird, are serving in Congress any longer.
