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] Yes, there would be. You would not want to try it in the real time setting when it would be in use without any prior experience and exercised actions with in it which you encounter. That can cause to come up against what you have never known or experienced you then are rendered inexperienced while engaged and in flight. [/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.
