4 Huge Mystery Blob on Weather Radars over Military s Redston... Planet Infowars Log In Sign Up Visit it has high values (highly reflective to radar beam).. too high to be smoke, but about right for chaff. Normally Chaff looks like this on radar: But today s mystery blob was originating from a point that was just about right over the Arsenal.. it started at about 1:36pm: There were also reports of a Chinook helicopter flying around the area this afternoon. We called the Arsenal and they said they didn t know about anything. Since our station is on top of Monte Sano and we have a perfect view to the west/southwest toward the area this mystery reflectivity is covering, I ve been looking out there periodically and snapping a few pictures I noticed something when going through the pics Here s a pic I snapped at about 3:18pm when the mystery blob was over West Huntsville (Pay attention to the buildings): 4 of 7 10/25/13, 8:05 PM

6 Huge Mystery Blob on Weather Radars over Military s Redston... Planet Infowars Log In Sign Up Visit what these particles were, you would expect air resistance to make the majority of them horizontally oriented (think dropping a piece of paper from a high building), and in turn, produce mostly positive values of ZDR. After looking at the data that definitely WAS the case: If you dropped a whole case of office paper from the top of a building, another thing you would expect to see is the occasional vertically shaped piece of paper (negative value) amongst lots of horizontally shaped ones (high positive value). Here s an extreme closeup of an example of this (and there were plenty of these in this case): Again, it s entirely possible that I m completely wrong, but after slaving over this all day, this is my best guess some new kind of high tech, invisible chaff being tested that the government doesn t want the word to get out on. It appeared to me that whatever this stuff was propogated upward from a point and spread slowly to the east. Maybe the Arsenal released it from the ground into the air. Maybe the helicopter was flying around in the chaff to see how good of a job it did masking its presence. This is purely a theory but I hope we find out what this is soon because I ll probably lose sleep over it if we don t - Ari Sarsalari Facebook: Ari Might want to ask Redstone Arsenal: What was the V-22 was doing here today? BillBoggs (@BillBoggs) June 5, 2013 Maybe the military was moving some things in or out and wanted some cover also. There is ongoing construction on the Arsenal, some have speculated that structures on the northern side of the base may be in preparation for state of emergency provisions or more extreme situations given the lengthy railroad tracks paralleling Interstate 565 (think internment and resettlement). It is also speculated that there are vast underground structures on the base, possibly connections to the underground high speed train network. In the context of all that this site covers, it would be irresponsible to speculate further but if there is something sensitive being hidden, this is a place one could expect it to occur. The military could have been experimenting with new chaff technology, lending weight to the increased helicopter activity. However when considering the reports of chemical odors, the picture is not so clear. It s kind of like that time the US government sprayed heavily toxic, carcinogenic chemicals over St. Louis in the 1950 s and didn t tell anyone. Trust the US government to tell you nothing or lie and then demand you like it because it is for your safety, which you are to never question since the notion that things could be done in the name of Uncle Sam that that are not specifically authorized by the public wing of this great country s government is nonsensical such 6 of 7 10/25/13, 8:05 PM
