@jerry my favorite weather manipulation theory is the one where the US NEXRAD radars are all sophisticated weather manipulation devices. Adherents of this theory point out radar glitches as proof of their claims. They have an explanation for every radar anomaly and glitch.
Is there a radiating line from the radar site to the edge of the radar’s range? Could it be interference from an adjacent radar, the sun rising or setting on the horizon, or some other interference anomaly? Nah, it’s obviously a beam of directed energy designed to manipulate severe storms.
