On Monday night, a mysterious radar blip appeared over southern Illinois and western Kentucky. It lingered for over 10 hours, having traveled for nearly 140 miles before disappearing. The National Weather Service was stunned – the blips resembled a moving storm, but it wasn’t even raining. Interesting radar return over Wabash County IL, moving south off KPAH radar. pic.twitter.com/wmLGWtXxid — NWS Paducah (@NWSPaducah) December 10, 2018 The internet was quickly on the case, with social media users sharing their theories. Some suggested that the blips may have been a result of debris from a passing meteor, a simple flock of birds, chemical residue from government weather control, and even aliens. An Indiana meteorologist tweeted that a pilot claims the mystery was no mystery at all and could be explained by radar-jamming material being released by a Lockheed C-130 Hercules aircraft. Information from a pilot appears to confirm that chaff was the mysterious radar echo that traversed #tristatewx late Monday afternoon/evening. Pilot was told by EVV Air Traffic Control that chaff was released by a military C130 northwest of Evansville. @NWSPaducah — Wayne Hart (@Wayne_C_Hart) December 11, 2018 While the mysterious blips may have been a result of military aircraft, all nearby military bases contend that they didn’t have anything to do with it. “Whatever aircraft it was, it was not a Scott Air Force Base craft,” Master Sgt. Thomas Doscher said Tuesday. Scott Air Force Base is located in Illinois, east of St. Louis, MO. A spokesperson for Fort Campbell, located in Kentucky, was not aware of any operation involving a C-130 during the time the mysterious blip appeared on radar. He added, however, that if a plane were involved, it would have been due to a secret special forces exercise. The War Zone says that the blip was indeed a result of chaff from a C-130 returning home at McLaughlin Air National Guard Base in Charleston after a training exercise on the West Coast. The National Weather Service later tweeted in support of this theory. What we believe was chaff, released by aircraft this afternoon, has been showing up on radar for the past 10 hours now. Originated south of Olney, IL at 2:50 PM and now is 150 miles SE entering far north TN. pic.twitter.com/BxLQcW2aIh — NWS Paducah (@NWSPaducah) December 11, 2018 According to the Washington Post, “Chaff is a cloud of light aluminum-coated material deployed in the air to fool and overwhelm radar signals that may be tracking the aircraft.” Apparently, for safety reasons, the plane needed to dump it from its countermeasure dispensers before landing. Now, two days after the incident over Illinois, Indiana and Kentucky, more plumes of chaff are appearing on radar over both Maine and Florida. While the source of these newest reports remain unconfirmed, they appear quite similar to Monday’s incident. Again if not chaff some neat areas of snow moving South from Maine. pic.twitter.com/zkbtkgU8aD — 𝕄𝕒𝕣𝕔 𝕁𝕣. ❄️⛈🌊 (@WxmanFranz) December 13, 2018 Reflectivity seems a bit high for chaff , IMO. @kudrios Have you seen chaff returns this high down there in the Keys where it’s much more common? — Rob Hart (@rqhart) December 11, 2018 Still on the NWS radar right now. https://t.co/kAb7dB5bJY cc @NWSGray pic.twitter.com/tIvzgHqHWH — The tired one (@MaineSurfCaster) December 12, 2018 Military chaff strikes again? Looks like it in Maine this time. These are definitely NOT snow squalls. Correlation coefficients are way too low. #mewx pic.twitter.com/AUfXjKtmMi — Mitch (@VermonsterWx) December 12, 2018 Appears to be #Chaff also showing up on radar in SoFL pic.twitter.com/tkDDrNW6F9 — Chris Gloninger NBC10 Boston (@ChrisGNBCBoston) December 13, 2018 While the appearance of chaff on radar is not particularly rare in itself, it is unusual for so many persistent clouds of this size to appear on radar in such a short period of time in so many places across the country.
Poster Comment: [......] Apparently, for safety reasons, the plane needed to dump it from its countermeasure dispensers before landing. Isn't aluminum dust really bad for your health, toxic? If it's too risky to land with it at McLaughlin Air National Guard Base in Charleston, it's too dangerous to dump over flyover country too!

Of course that's what it was - the government never lies.
Government is in the last resort the employment of armed men, of policemen, gendarmes, soldiers, prison guards, and hangmen. The War Zone says that the blip was indeed a result of chaff from a C-130 returning home at McLaughlin Air National Guard Base in Charleston after a training exercise on the West Coast.

The essential feature of government is the enforcement of its decrees by beating, killing, and imprisoning.
Those who are asking for more government interference are asking ultimately for more compulsion and less freedom.
