Probably doing it for training. Strange that they would pollute the place and everyone's yards with that stuff for training. [/quote] As you know over the weekend there were dozens of c-130's training over Nevada training out west. But one in the northern hemisphere on the east coast? They may not just be doing a simple exercise but prepping for something. And using radar jamming equipment? Is there a need to do that doing an exercise? [/quote]
Original Message
When large, storm-like blips flashed across radar in Southern Illinois and Western Kentucky, the National Weather Service was stunned – because it wasn’t raining a drop.
All kinds of guesses flared up on social media: a flock of birds; aliens; residue the government uses to control the weather, etc.
Citing an unnamed pilot, he said Evansville air traffic control claimed a military C-130 released a stream of chaff – radar-jamming material sometimes used during training exercises – a few miles northwest of Evansville.
