NASA manipulating weather around the world? Here's the truth

NASA has been conducting experiments involving artificial clouds in the upper atmosphere, according to a report of Daily Galaxy. These clouds, formed by releasing chemical compounds like trimethyl aluminum (TMA) from high-altitude probes, aim to advance our understanding of Earth’s near-space environment. At altitudes of 80–400 kilometers, these substances create luminescent trails, helping scientists track atmospheric movements. NASA assures these materials, also found in fireworks, are environmentally safe and released in minimal amounts, far above commercial flight paths.

The primary goal of these experiments is to study atmospheric currents, energy transport, and interactions between neutral and ionized gases. These insights are vital for understanding space weather and its impact on satellite technology and solar activity. Complementing other NASA research, such as gamma-ray studies during thunderstorms, these experiments deepen knowledge about Earth's atmosphere.

NASA reportedly conducting these studies globally, using sounding rockets launched from sites tailored to specific objectives. Daily Galaxy claimed that NASA recently conducted cloud seeding experiments over Norway, but has no immediate plans for launches over France. Transparency and minimal environmental impact remain key priorities, as altering natural conditions would undermine the research.


However, the experiments have led to tise in some conspiracy theories. While some saying NASA is manipulating weather while other conspiracy theories allege that arificial clouds are harmful and that these experiments are affecting daily weather.

The report claimed that "NASA’s research in this area is closely related to its ongoing studies of solar activity and its effects on Earth’s atmosphere" and is "aimed at unraveling the mysteries of our upper atmosphere".
