Applying Weather-modification to Military Operations

How will the military, in general, and the USAF, in particular, manage and employ a weather-modification capability? We envision this will be done by the weather force support element (WFSE), whose primary mission would be to support the war-fighting CINCs with weather-modification options, in addition to current forecasting support. Although the WFSE could operate anywhere as long as it has access to the GWN and the system components already discussed, it will more than likely be a component within the AOC or its 2025-equivalent. With the CINC’s intent as guidance, the WFSE formulates weather-modification options using information provided by the GWN, local weather data network, and weather-modification forecast model. The options include range of effect, probability of success, resources to be expended, the enemy’s vulnerability, and risks involved. The CINC chooses an effect based on these inputs, and the WFSE then implements the chosen course, selecting the right modification tools and employing them to achieve the desired effect. Sensors detect the change and feed data on the new weather pattern to the modeling system which updates its forecast accordingly. The WFSE checks the effectiveness of its efforts by pulling down the updated current conditions and new forecast(s) from the GWN and local weather data network, and plans follow-on missions as needed.

The Military System for Weather-Modification Operations.

WFSE personnel will need to be experts in information systems and well schooled in the arts of both offensive and defensive information warfare. They would also have an in-depth understanding of the GWN and an appreciation for how weather-modification could be employed to meet a CINC’s needs.

Because of the nodal web nature of the GWN, this concept would be very flexible. For instance, a WFSE could be assigned to each theater to provide direct support to the CINC. The system would also be survivable, with multiple nodes connected to the GWN.

A product of the information age, this system would be most vulnerable to information warfare. Each WFSE would need the most current defensive and offensive information capabilities available. Defensive abilities would be necessary for survival. Offensive abilities could provide spoofing options to create virtual weather in the enemy’s sensory and information systems, making it more likely for them to make decisions producing results of our choosing rather than theirs. It would also allow for the capability to mask or disguise our weather-modification activities.

Two key technologies are necessary to meld an integrated, comprehensive, responsive, precise, and effective weather-modification system. Advances in the science of chaos are critical to this endeavor. Also key to the feasibility of such a system is the ability to model the extremely complex nonlinear system of global weather in ways that can accurately predict the outcome of changes in the influencing variables. Researchers have already successfully controlled single variable nonlinear systems in the lab and hypothesize that current mathematical techniques and computer capacity could handle systems with up to five variables. Advances in these two areas would make it feasible to affect regional weather patterns by making small, continuous nudges to one or more influencing factors. Conceivably, with enough lead time and the right conditions, you could get “made-to-order” weather.18

Developing a true weather-modification capability will require various intervention tools to adjust the appropriate meteorological parameters in predictable ways. It is this area that must be developed by the military based on specific required capabilities such as those listed in table 1, table 1 is located in the Executive Summary. Such a system would contain a sensor array and localized battle area data net to provide the fine level of resolution required to detect intervention effects and provide feedback. This net would include ground, air, maritime, and space sensors as well as human observations in order to ensure the reliability and responsiveness of the system, even in the event of enemy countermeasures. It would also include specific intervention tools and technologies, some of which already exist and others which must be developed. Some of these proposed tools are described in the following chapter titled Concept of Operations. The total weather-modification process would be a real-time loop of continuous, appropriate, measured interventions, and feedback capable of producing desired weather behavior.

Current technologies that will mature over the next 30 years will offer anyone who has the necessary resources the ability to modify weather patterns and their corresponding effects, at least on the local scale. Current demographic, economic, and environmental trends will create global stresses that provide the impetus necessary for many countries or groups to turn this weather-modification ability into a capability.

In the United States, weather-modification will likely become a part of national security policy with both domestic and international applications. Our government will pursue such a policy, depending on its interests, at various levels. These levels could include unilateral actions, participation in a security framework such as NATO, membership in an international organization such as the UN, or participation in a coalition.

Assuming that in 2025 our national security strategy includes weather-modification, its use in our national military strategy will naturally follow. Besides the significant benefits an operational capability would provide, another motivation to pursue weather-modification is to deter and counter potential adversaries.

In this paper we show that appropriate application of weather-modification can provide battlespace
dominance to a degree never before imagined. In the future, such operations will enhance air and space
superiority and provide new options for battlespace shaping and battlespace awareness.

Discovery Channel Explores Chemtrails

This is an interesting documentary made by Discovery Channel in 2007 – they explore chem and/or contrails and the various theories that have come from the relatively new phenomena of watching airplanes paint our skies.

Can metals and toxins be found in jet fuel? Can aluminum be found as an additive to ordinary jet fuel?

And if additives aren’t in found in fuel, does that necessarily mean that nothing is being sprayed by other means? What about the ‘chaf” sprayed out by military jets? No one denies that is aluminum…if it can be sprayed from military jets, can something similar then be sprayed from other (modified) jets as well?

Former NSA, CIA Agent Speaks Out About ‘Project Cloverleaf’

Obviously, I have no independent way to verify Mr. Griffith’s story but it does make for an interesting read.

I’ll leave it to readers to decide if Griffith is a reliable source…or a complete loon with some whacked anti-gov’t agenda…

A. C. Griffith was associate within NSA, he carried top secret clearance, a cryptographic clearance, and in more recent times he was associated with CIA operations. He was married to lady lawyer, judge, his father in low was chief justice of the supreme court of Virginia.

Here is a verbatim transcript of what he said during the interview conducted by Joyce Riley:

Griffith:

Several years ago I’ve got a call from Mike Blair from the “Spotlight” newspaper in Washington, now called “The American Free Press”, he asked me to help work with him on the story about the white trails coming from the airplanes. And time is gone by and I guess this was 8 or 9 years ago.

We actually got inside the program. We were the only people in the world that have actually got inside that program. The aerosol program, the chemtrail program.

I am talking about, actually, getting inside the program at Wright Patterson airforce base where it is been managed. And we actually got into some of the people that were dissatisfied form within the program they divulged. A lot of the acronyms and the purpose of the program and so on, and that is the only way that anybody could ever have broken the secrecy of this program. 

We know that people have died over this program. People have been hit, to keep them quiet. And we know that other things have happened at key people of this program. One of the key people that designed the aerosol, the barium salt aerosol, was set-up by the people in Reagan administration, and he is now sitting in the federal penitentiary. They still go to him to ask him questions, but jet he is in the prison.

That is little unnerving, isn’t it? That the man that has designed the barium salt aerosol is sitting in the prison.

The white trails are not coming out of the engines, its coming out of the aerosol units on the aircraft. 
In the very beginning, at early days, the aircraft were flying relatively low, 10.000 feet or bellow, and they were developing the program. They were mostly contract aircraft, mostly CIA aircraft. 

Now program has been extended and commercial airliners have been outfitted with aerosol units that are controlled thru computer systems and satellites to dispense a barium salt mixture. So the mixture of barium aerosols are not coming thru the engine, its coming out of the aerosol units. And we have checked on information and we do confirm that the name the project is “Project Cloverleaf” in the aircraft industry. It is very secretive, it is the most secretive I have ever encountered. People have died over this talking about it…Continue Reading
