Hi Matthew,
Some good material to ponder over.
In searching the internet for dusty jet stream images I doubt if any of your photos have captured the jet stream in action. As you say probably just dust in the atmosphere. That said, we can't rule it out. What we would have to do is check when the photos were taken and see if we could find out what the JS was doing at that time. With little information on the JS, easier said than done.
I would agree the JS is fundamentally a charged magnetic current of Earth.
There were many snakes in ancient Egypt (and other cultures), some good some bad, some protected the astral kings (such as the cobra goddess wadjet = volcanic eruptions & Mehen, which may be a plasma ring 'snake' similar to the one recently found around Saturn) others were ready to pounce on them as they made their way to the afterlife among the stars (ancestors).
I don't believe the 'dirty plasma' snakes can be attributed to Apophis. But having seen the diagrams I can now bear these in mind when researching other snakes. I'm pretty sure they will show up.
in space there are also giant snakes, in times of chaos and huge electrical events and energy spikes these may have appeared in the sky, connecting planets and solar systems.
At the moment I don't see any electrical arching (short circuiting?) between the planetary kings, and by this I mean it doesn't seem to be represented in Egyptian art or the text. The Egyptians do however, clearly reveal that discharging out into space via sprites and jets occurred on an absolute incessant scale (from all bodies inc. earth). These are represented on almost every facade via the lotus flower and sekhem sceptre. especially the god kings who were often shown offering (discharging) lotus flowers to the cosmogonical gods (Amun, Hathor, etc.). This is something I'm currently looking into.
Electrical spites (lotus) everywhere.
Hathor's (earth's rings) as you would expect charged with sprites
Birkeland currents are also found in space, at the moment they are not energised enough to go into the glow mode of plasma but in the past they are very likely to have. Each planet appears to have them as part of their electrical circuit.
In a dust filled cosmos and a hazed red sun, I sometimes wonder if Birkeland currents were actually seen emanating from Re. The image below shows two what I would describe as 'birkland ropes' either side of a sun disk. It a fairly common image and its hieroglyphic value seems to be one of 'eternal' or 'erternity.' I've thought of suggesting this to the thunderbolts team, but I doubt I get a reply as this would mean them accepting my 'the sun was Re,' and he was veiled behind a wall of haze. As they've removed my 'Re, the Red Sun' article, this just 'aint gonna happen!
Gary, one of the questions that will be asked is if Apophis was the jet streams how would the egyptians have seen it curling and coiling tightly in the sky? the coils seen in jet stream images go over continents? unless it was like the top image where they wrapped themselves around or the jet streams were much tighter and seen in the sky (as the world was very different?)
The Jet Stream is dynamic, travelling in excess of 200 miles per hour (faster during times of chaos, or pehaps slower and more loops?). What this means is it's possible that a relatively straight (fast moving) stream may transform in to a snaking stream of troughs and peaks within a single day, and from a single point of reference on earth. The Jet Stream can also split, form 'head's' and even loop over itself whilst snaking from west to east - this is why Apep was always seen to hinder/confront or attack the sun which travelled in the opposite directon.
Some have suggested that the Jet Stream develops more kinks/loops as a result of less energy from the Sun. Even though Re was on overdrive spitting venom (cobra) on an incessant scale during pharaonic times, its possible 93 miles of dust and debris actually weakened the energy reaching earth and this did indeed result in more twists and turns in the Jet Stream.

I don't believe so. Further research has also led me to believe Apophis probably wasn't seen at night. How do I know this? Because night was the main domain of Amun/aurora and if Apep was observed at night, Amun, as the 'king of the gods' would be shown vanquishing Apep, there are no such images. There are numerous images and text referring to Re (and kings) battling Apep in the underworld (under the flat earth) during the night, but none of Amun (or other gods of the night) fighting Apep. As the record shows, Apep was at his most prominent at dawn and dusk. This would suggest Apep was deemed more visible due to the thicker dust on the horizons.
Will get back to you on your second post soon.
