Notable U.S. Operations Involving Weather Modification
Operation Popeye (1967–1972)
Objective: To extend the monsoon season and increase rainfall over specific areas in Southeast Asia, particularly over the Ho Chi Minh Trail during the Vietnam War.
Technique: Cloud seeding using silver iodide particles to induce rain and disrupt enemy troop movements and supply lines.
Outcome: Operation Popeye increased rainfall significantly, causing flooding and making roads impassable for enemy forces.
Project Cirrus (1947–1952)
Objective: Early U.S. efforts in cloud seeding. Scientists attempted to modify hurricanes by seeding clouds with dry ice and silver iodide.
Outcome: Initial experiments failed, and there was speculation that the seeding altered the path of Hurricane King, which hit the U.S. coast.
Project Stormfury (1962–1983)
Objective: Attempt to weaken tropical cyclones by seeding them with silver iodide in the hope of reducing their wind speed.
Outcome: The project showed limited success and raised questions about whether it was possible to alter a hurricane’s strength or trajectory.
Project Skywater (1960s–1980s)
Objective: Focused on increasing water supply through weather modification, primarily using cloud seeding to enhance rainfall.
Outcome: Various tests were conducted in the U.S., with mixed results regarding the reliability of cloud seeding as a tool for increasing precipitation.
Project Skyfire (1960s) Objective: Fire prevention by using weather modification to suppress lightning in dry regions, thus reducing wildfires.
Outcome: While some success in reducing lightning strikes was observed, the project was not widely adopted.
Weather Modification Patents and Holders

Title: "Weather Modification by Artificial Satellites"
Holder: Stephen Salter
Date Issued: 1981
Description: A system utilizing satellites to modify weather patterns by creating artificial clouds or manipulating atmospheric conditions.
Modern Efforts
While the U.S. government has scaled back direct weather modification projects, private and corporate interests in cloud seeding and geoengineering have continued. Several companies and organizations are exploring weather modification as a tool for managing water resources or mitigating climate change.

I spent my Saturday nights puffin heaters at the local race track making bets on the cars with people around me
this is exactly what the globalists DONT want
means im always on record, brother
kinda crazy nobody is taking about trumps assassination attempt anymore. most reasonable people agree that some retard 20 year old incel didn’t just dupe the secret service that day. there was some form of coordination.
the guys head almost shattered in 4k, not some grainy zaprutor footage, and a month later nobody is really question it, onto the next programming.
I hear people say “if they would’ve killed him there would’ve been a civil war”.
I disagree.
Maybe people would’ve rioted for a week or two. But after a month we’d all go back to work, and argue over the next programmed topic like gay satanic Olympics, or be distracted by the rich gladiators engaging in simulated combat when football season comes back around.
like I’m shocked Trump didn’t take the assassination attempt and run with the “they tried to take me out” angle. Even he started making jokes about it a week later, or saying it was violence due to “the rhetoric” in this country.
Idk. That shit was insane, almost impossible to believe how fucking close someone was to blowing a primary candidates head off. You literally could not get closer, a lot of people would agree there was a degree of coordination, yet 50 days later nobody seems to remember it.
is it because we just instantly turn everything into a meme now, which kinda kills the severity of the situation?
Idk man. I don’t love Trump but , man you’d think people would care to get to the bottom of what exactly happened that day and how
I love this shit

happy sunday
we got chicken or what?
it’s been raining for 3 days, but u gotta get it while you can before it’s freezing for 4 months
