Chaff Chemtrails Detected by NWS Louisville Radar

  • 16 years ago
It has been documented in the past, particularly in western states, that NWS NEXRAD radar can detect chaff. What is that you ask? Chaff is a radar countermeasure used by military aircraft consisting of very small pieces of metal such as aluminum. It can appear as narrow bands of reflectivity on the radar since they are dispersed by planes flying at high speeds along a path.

During the afternoon hours of 7 January 2006, the Louisville NEXRAD radar (KLVX) detected what appeared to be chaff. The day was mostly clear, with only a few high level cirrus clouds. Winds at the surface were out of the southwest, but higher up near the level the chaff was detected, winds were out of the west-northwest. The echoes presented here are somewhat weaker than normal, topping out around 16 dBz or so.
