Claim, C130 aircraft are spraying mysterious filaments.

[Steve Funk]

A post in Geoengineeringwatch claims that C 130 aircraft are being used to spray aluminum and barium for some purpose. As evidence, it posts a photo of C130's flying, and a photo taken later of mysterious filaments clinging to power or phone lines. This is a typical example of the post hoc, ergo propter hoc fallacy. C130 aircraft are turboprops with a maximum elevation of 28,000 feet, according to Wikipedia. The geoengineeringwatch post acknowledges that these aircraft are not doing solar radiation management.

Again, what is the official story on what the C-130s are used for? "To control disease-carrying insects, eradicate undesirable plants, or disperse oil spills." But are we to believe the "official" narrative? Not that we should feel good about the spraying of highly toxic oil dispersants in any case. A recent incident that occurred in Arizona appears to paint a different picture. Arizona resident Cori Cunnells took this photograph of the three aircraft that she witnessed passing overhead in the skies of Arizona over her home just before strange fibrous airborne filaments covered the landscape.

I see now this subject was covered almost two years ago. https://www.metabunk.org/debunked-c...-lab-tests-for-metals-spider-silk-dirt.t5290/ So it is news only because Dane basically recycled the story Dec. 20. I don't know whether the photo he posts shows the same thing, ie spider silk.

A flight of three multi engine general aviation aircraft operating at low altitudes over a remote southwest area makes one wonder what is going on.

There is an airport nearby in Prescott, and a military airbase near Phoenix, more or less 150 miles away. Most C 130s are military, but not all. http://www.prcairport.com/

Unless there is a very significant coincidence, the C130 is likely not military IMO. Sounds like some type of commercial or non-DoD operation of some type. Possibly something to do with the Department of Interior, Forest Service, Department of Agriculture, etc. I have seen 130s used for low altitude spraying operations by the AF Reserve units in North Central Texas and the East Coast near Langly, Va.

Dane's reviving of this story has to do with this press release:

Portman and Members of the Ohio Delegation Urge Air Force to Upgrade C-130s at the Youngstown Air Reserve Station

Washington, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Rob Portman (R-OH) was joined by Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH), Congressman Tim Ryan (D-OH-13), Congressman Bill Johnson (R-OH-6), and Congressman Dave Joyce (OH-14) in urging the United States Air Force to replace the Youngstown Air Reserve Station’s (YARS) 910th Airlift Wing’s current fleet of C-130H aircraft with new C-130J aircrafts to ensure that the 910th’s Department of Defense (DoD)-mandated specialized aerial spray mission continues safely and without interruption.

However that's probably unrelated to the C-130s seen in Arizona.
