A few days ago a weather-reporter

(i think it was RTL, this girl :
www.ad.nl...)

told that the Dutch millitary would try metals in the sky.

Why ? She told that millitary wanted to try to fool radar.

It's the first time i heard that.

Anybody else ever heared that from a wheather-girl ?

I have seen topics about German weather-men talking about strange clouds....anything to do with this ?

without having seen the actual report, I'd say the obvious explanation is that she's referring to military exercises deploying anti radar chaff which may, in turn, produce anomalous readings on weather radar.

Something which never, ever, happens in the UK - a pity as I'd like to be able to observe it (on radar) for reference purposes.

*sigh*

Oh well, it's something all meteorologists must live with.

Every nation's military does it for training purposes.

Shattered OUT...

Silver iodide is also used for cloud seeding to bring rain.

Source? Proof?

This is something I've never heard the meteorologist say on TV (no wonder though as I live a country whose military could be overrun by an ant farm) but she was probably referring to Chaff. For those who don't know it's pieces of metal released/fired into the air to confuse radar systems.
