Thanks for the replies, the stains are from one side to the other in the shape of the ceiling joists. Every joist , and only at the joist.i don't think if they were from water that the stains would be so straight and even.every joist has the same even stain.its like the glue used to adhere the panels in place actually bled thru.I did try a magic eraser with no results . The ceiling is also very dry , I am able to access the joists above the ceiling panels thru multiple locations and the attic area has no sign of any moisture
