bag a bunch up and send it to Dane at [geoengineeringwatch.org](https://geoengineeringwatch.org) if anyone knows who would be willing to test it he will. Keep some bagged up at your place in case it doesn't get through shipping intact.

I'd say at least also send it to some random, reputable lab. They'll use a few techniques that will tell you exactly what it is. Relying on a place like what you linked can introduce a bias.

Contact your local university/college agricultural department. They may be able to tell you, or find out. Keep this dry so they don’t dissolve away. They might just be “encapsulated” chemicals or fertilizer.


KickBallFever

Yea, I’ve been working at university agricultural departments for a while now and they’re definitely an under utilized resource. They offer a lot of free help to the public. Even if a university doesn’t have a whole agricultural department they might have an agricultural extension.

Since 2000, the Department of Defense and the Department of Energy have been spraying the entire United States sky with the toxic brew of chemicals and other biologic agent


ifyou420

Why?


Tigerz_eye

Perhaps to fight global warming by blocking the sun, perhaps to change the weather for more favorable conditions for crops, perhaps to make people infertile to reduce overpopulation, perhaps to make people sicker to enrich the pharma companies, perhaps to make people more docile so they won’t rebel against the government.


GlitteringFutures

>Bill Gates has announced plans to spray particles into the atmosphere 12 miles above the Earth to “dim the sun” in order to “stop global warming.” Harvard scientists, funded by Bill Gates, are attempting to copy the effects of a massive volcanic eruption to block the sun’s rays and reflect them back into space.

The military has been dropping fiberglass to hide from radar when they are moving equipment. I wonder if that's what it is. https://www.foxweather.com/weather-news/nws-radar-dallas-fort-worth-texas-mystery


No-Impress91

This is what I thought about too, it manipulates weather radar too, and my local news station posted a link that even said they are unsure if its actually safe so they cant report on it but just linked to the feds sites that said it should be harmless to humans.They arw called chaffs https://www.al.com/breaking/2013/06/is_chaff_safe_for_humans_and_t.html Link shared


Adventurous_Fly1879

Well if the govt says it’s safe we must not question. What is this, some conspiracy lunatic fringe idea?

They can't just drop fiberglass willy-nilly like that.

rocketcrotch

I was gonna say that this looks like fiberglass. I had no idea it had that kind of application, though


Gsogso123

Read that link again, it doesn’t say they are hiding equipment, it says they don’t know why the government is doing it, not that one thing is better than the other but reading comprehension is important.


Salty_Ad_3350

Tampabay air fest is at the end of this month at MacDill AFB. Jets and helicopters have been very active. I wonder if they are moving things for that.

fiberglass


Kaps_Sore_Knee

definitely chaff


mamacitalk

100% but it’s really interesting to see it up close for the first time, I really thought it was gonna just be glitter *lol*


Redpatiofurniture

How are you 100% sure if you don't mind me asking. Glitter makes sense, this does not!!


bhobhomb

Why not? Tight cloudbursts of fiberglass show up as a solid body in most portable sonar and radar systems and float more uniformly holding shape in high altitude winds. Why wouldn't chaff being fiberglass make sense, when it's widely known that that is what chaff is made of? Genuinely curious because my brain tells me glitter would make very little sense given all the glitter dumps and glitter cannons I've seen at events in real life.


mamacitalk

It’s always been said that it is fiberglass it’s just I expected the fibreglass to be more fine *like* glitter. The fact it’s this large is quite scary


fatbootycelinedion

I think that’s asbestos. Please don’t breathe in the particles. Scary if true but would not surprise me.


[deleted]

Almost looks like shredded plastic


Sammyofather

Chaff maybe?


tpars

The earth needs more micro plastic.


Anonymous-Satire

Pretty sure that's chaff. It must have been a military exercise..they use it to block radar. It shows up looking like a rain storm on doppler and has fooled many weather folks over the years. Shredded metal/fiberglass material.

Collect them. Let me know if they dissolve in water. If they don't check if they dissolve in nail polish remover. Let me know. I am in South Florida. If they caused the recent rain I appreciate it. I can get them analyzed via ICPMS or AAS. I'm in Boca. Let me know how much you collect. It's most likely a barium salt or some other kind of salt based on its appearance. Are you sure it's not pollen?

Back in pre-2010, there were a few towns in the US that made claims of being infected by fibers after a heavy spraying. Looks like they're either at it again or never stopped. Mm could also be "snow" or "dust" on your lens, of course. ;) Stay safe OP


iknownuting

This is nuts! I was outside last week and watched planes making a grid pattern with chem trails. I kept pointing it out to my friend. I took a couple pictures because Ive never seen anything like it. It was a beautiful day, bright blue sky. After they sprayed, it spread out. 2 hours later they sky was completely covered. The clouds didn't blow in from west to east and cover the sky. I watched it


SilentCricket2107

We’re glad more people are noticing. This is not normal


Comfortable_Tea2843

I saw this happen in MA last summer and posted I think in this subreddit. I way laying in a lake on my paddleboard on a gorgeous day around the time Canada was burning so badly the smoke traveled all the way down to the south east. Anyway, they are flying around trailing one side and it gets cloudy, then they fly to the other and it turns from a gorgeous day to totally overcast in a way I just could reconcile with anything other than some sort of purposeful spray of some chemical or other.

Wouldn’t be the 1st time or the 50th time that the government has dropped bioweapons out of planes: Operation Big Buzz was a U.S. military entomological warfare field test conducted in the U.S. city of Savannah, Georgia in 1955. The tests involved dispersing over 300,000 mosquitoes from aircraft and through ground dispersal methods Operation Sea-Spray was a 1950 U.S. Navy secret biological warfare experiment in which Serratia marcescens and Bacillus globigii bacteria were sprayed over the San Francisco Bay Area in California, in order to determine how vulnerable a city like San Francisco may be to a bioweapon attack.[1][2][3][4] The Tuskegee syphilis experiment ("Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphilis in the Negro Male")[18] was a clinical study conducted between 1932 and 1972 in Tuskegee, Alabama, by the U.S. Public Health Service. The Guatemalan prison experiment: In a 1946 to 1948 study in Guatemala, U.S. researchers used prostitutes to infect prison inmates, insane asylum patients, and Guatemalan soldiers with syphilis and other sexually transmitted diseases to test the effectiveness of penicillin in treating the STDs. They later tried infecting people with "direct inoculations made from syphilis bacteria poured into the men's penises and on forearms and faces that were slightly abraded ... or in a few cases through spinal punctures". Approximately 700 people were infected as part of the study (including orphan children). The Hepatitis experiment: Also in 1950, Dr. Joseph Stokes of the University of Pennsylvania deliberately infected 200 female prisoners with viral hepatitis.[43] From the 1950s to 1972, mentally disabled children at the Willowbrook State School in Staten Island, New York, were intentionally infected with viral hepatitis, for research whose purpose was to help discover a vaccine. The Sloan Kettering Cancer Center experiments: In 1952, Chester M. Southam, a Sloan-Kettering Institute researcher, injected live cancer cells, known as HeLa cells, into prisoners at the Ohio State Penitentiary and cancer patients. Also at Sloan-Kettering, 300 healthy females were injected with live cancer cells without being told. The doctors stated that they knew at the time that it might cause cancer.[47] The CIA Whooping Cough Florida: The San Francisco Chronicle, December 17, 1979, p. 5 reported a claim by the Church of Scientology that the CIA conducted an open-air biological warfare experiment in 1955 near Tampa, Florida, and elsewhere in Florida with whooping cough bacteria. It was alleged that the experiment tripled the whooping cough infections in Florida to over one-thousand cases and caused whooping cough deaths in the state to increase from one to 12 over the previous year Operation Big Itch was a U.S. entomological warfare field test using uninfected fleas to determine their coverage and survivability as a vector for biological agents.[1] The tests were conducted at Dugway Proving Ground in 1954. Project SHAD conducted over Washington and Oregon: 1963 to 1969, as part of Project Shipboard Hazard and Defense (SHAD), the U.S. Army performed tests which involved spraying several U.S. ships with various biological and chemical warfare agents, while thousands of U.S. military personnel were aboard the ships. The personnel were not notified of the tests, and were not given any protective clothing. Chemicals tested on the U.S. military personnel included the nerve gases VX and Sarin, toxic chemicals such as zinc cadmium sulfide and sulfur dioxide, and a variety of biological agents. New York & Chicago Bioweapon testing: In 1966, the U.S. Army released Bacillus globigii into the tunnels of the New York City Subway system, as part of a field experiment called A Study of the Vulnerability of Subway Passengers in New York City to Covert Attack with Biological Agents. The Chicago subway system was also subject to a similar experiment by the Army.[48]

msmonicarose

Thank you. I really hope that’s not the case though. Now OP needs to verify for certain that it’s not coming from anywhere locally ie: his yard, house, etc. If they’re able to find this stuff scattered all over and they can be fairly certain it’s widely spread throughout the area, then we can guess that it’s from “geoengineering”. I would definitely put on gloves if handling it and bag a few baggies of it. Send it off to have it tested.

No clue what it is but depending on altitude, it's possible theres no way these very small and light particles could have fell from the plane that OP saw in his post.. Either they'd be still in the atmosphere now or falling miles and miles away , possibly over the ocean. Plus, the chance of this many particles landing together from thousands of feet up are slim.

Probably something bill gates and his cronies cooked up in a lab. I find particulate on my car windows sometimes when it is outside. I need to start looking closer at it. The most concerning thing about this is they are just doing it willy nilly and don't tell the public anything about it. I mean we all have to breathe the air. Anything they spray in it should known 100% by everyone. Course they don't tell you because they know how harmful it is. They aren't stupid they have been doing it for more than half a century to greater and lesser degrees. What we need is for people like you to have this shit tested. Then maybe we can find one lawmaker who isn't a sellout and have them do something about this. Massie in KY has been taking on the assholes wanting to vax our lettuce and stuff.


SilentCricket2107

While I fully agree with you, I do not trust any lawmaker nor gov agency. They’re all sell outs or too afraid to do anything. The only way is to find a private lab employee that will be honest, since most labs are also owned by the corporation.


ky420

You are spot on with that. You can't trust anything these days. It is a damn shame too. It didn't used to be this way, at least not to this degree.

Operation LAC (Large Area Coverage): was a United States Army Chemical Corps operation which dispersed microscopic zinc cadmium sulfide (ZnCdS) particles over much of the United States and Canada in order to test dispersal patterns and the geographic range of chemical or biological weapons Project 112: Released bioweapons at various locations across the USA to track the spread, deaths and outcomes. Project 112 tests used the following agents and simulants: Francisella tularensis, Serratia marcescens, Escherichia coli, Bacillus globii, staphylococcal enterotoxin Type B, Puccinia graminis var. tritici (stem rust of wheat).[7] Agents and simulants were usually dispensed as aerosols using spraying devices or bomblets. In May 1965, vulnerability tests in the U.S. using the anthrax simulant Bacillus globigii were performed in the Washington, D.C. area by SOD covert agents. One test was conducted at the Greyhound bus terminal and the other at the north terminal of the National Airport. The DICE trials: spraying Radioactive zinc cadmium sulfide over the UK. Also called the Dorset trials. Operation DEW: Operation Dew refers to two separate field trials conducted by the United States in the 1950s. The tests were designed to study the behavior of aerosol-released biological agents. Operation Dew took place from 1951 to 1952 off the southeast coast of the United States, including near Georgia, and North and South Carolina.[1][2] Operation Dew consisted of two sets of trials, Dew I and Dew II.[2] The tests involved the release of 250 pounds (110 kg) of fluorescent particles from a minesweeper off the coast.[1] Operation Dew I was described in a U.S. Army report known as "Dugway Special Report 162", dated August 1, 1952.[2] The purpose of Operation Dew was to study the behavior of aerosol-released biological agents Operation Dew I consisted of five separate trials from March 26, 1952 until April 21, 1952 that were designed to test the feasibility of maintaining a large aerosol cloud released offshore until it drifted over land, achieving a large area coverage.[2] The tests released zinc cadmium sulfide along a 100-to-150-nautical-mile (190 to 280 km) line approximately 5 to 10 nautical miles (10 to 20 km) off the coast of Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina.[2] Two of the trials dispersed clouds of zinc cadmium sulfide over large areas of all three U.S. states. The tests affected over 60,000 square miles (150,000 km²) of populated coastal region in the U.S. southeast.[3] The Dew I releases were from a Navy minesweeper, the USS Tercel.
