NASA's Aeronomy of Ice in the Mesosphere (AIM) satellite has captured five complete polar seasons of noctilucent (NLC) or "night-shining" clouds with an unprecedented horizontal resolution of 3 miles by 3 miles. Results show that the cloud season turns on and off like a "geophysical light bulb" and they reveal evidence that high altitude mesospheric "weather" may follow similar patterns as our ever-changing weather near the Earth's surface. These findings were unveiled today at the Fall Meeting of the American Geophysical Union today in San Francisco.

  • Five gets you ten that the glow is from all the aluminum/barium/strontium that the CIA/military has been pumping into the air to poison the planet while the USDA/Gates/Monsanto/Rockefelle­r are frantically developing GM patents so that the remainder may only live by virtue of its aluminum resistant gene. Take a good look, because when the SHTF, you'll be either dead or locked up tight. You can always dream about what it might have been to breathe fresh air and eat real food.
