Declassified CIA Files Reveal Cold War Weather Modification Programs

Declassified CIA-era documents are once again fueling debate over America’s past weather modification efforts after resurfaced records revealed Cold War-era government interest in controlling weather patterns for strategic purposes.

The files, originally declassified in 2003 but recently recirculating online, include discussions from the mid-1960s about weather modification research, federal funding, and the strategic importance of atmospheric manipulation during the Cold War.

That has prompted fresh claims online that the U.S. government has long engaged in secret weather control programs.
