some notable bits about the sky lately.  i saw the “UFO“, it was indeed blue.  not red, or orange, or yellow, like fire in a rocket usually is, but blue.  and moving what i thought to be pretty slow for a military rocket.  i hoped that maybe it was a cloud seeder, a rocket that has smoke that is such fine particles that it stays airborne and forms start nuclei for rain drops to form.  silver iodide is used a lot, that could be blue maybe?

sure enough, we got a bit of rain, more than the models had predicted for this incoming system.  we also got HEAPS of lightning, more than ive seen total since ive been 20 years on the west coast.  and why did said launch go from south to north along the CA coast rather than out to sea?

coincidence?

here’s a pic i took today of the post-frontal, can you spot the UFO smoke drift lines? HINT: they look like rain clouds :)
