Non-Fiction: Ghost Cloud over Germany! For REAL!!!! &%*%#!!! 14-04-2006 - by Easyd
(685 words) |

There was been a big fuss in Germany about this Radar case, straight from the X-files, with articles in Spiegel and TV reports. There was amazingly little in English so far, which is why I thought I’d redress the balance.
For the second time (first was July 2005) there has been a massive ‘ghost’ cloud over Germany, seen by numerous weather radar stations. The first time was in July 2005, where the cloud was monitored for 10 hours drifting east. ‘Ghost cloud’ meaning that the weather radar picks up a reading of a cloud without there being any cloud visible on satellite photos or as reported by ground monitoring stations.
The second time was amusing on the TV weather chart on March 23rd 2006 – the weatherman pointed to the duff radar image, telling the viewers to ignore it. Only it wasn’t really duff, as a detailed analysis of the 2005 case had shown. See e.g.
http://www.toytownmunich.com/lofi/index.php/t32021.html
This (i.e. the 2005 object – but the same goes for the recent one) was an enormous object - 400 km in length and 100 km in breadth and at least 100 m thick. It was seen by 16 radar stations, so that it was not a technical fault. Other mechanisms such as kerosene, birds, etc. can be ruled out due to the dimension of the thing - see the scientific analysis in the proceedings of a meeting of the German Meteorological Society in March this year – 14 scientists (meteorologists, physicists etc.) contributed to the report, which systematically ruled out conventional explanations:
http://www.dmg-ev.de/gesellschaft/publikationen/pdf/dmg-mitteilungen/2005_3_4.pdf
(pages 6 - 9 of 60 or 4 - 7 internal numbering - in German)
The only remaining hypothesis of the German weather service was that huge amounts of Chaff were released by the military secretly - but firstly the German military deny that, and secondly, if it was Chaff (or ‘Chemtrails’), then the calculation is, based on a minimum weight of 0.01g per chaff particle (they can weigh up to 2g or more), with one of these per cubic metre (the least needed for such a massive and long-lived radar return):
Volume = 400x100x0.1 Km cubed = 1000 Km Cubed.
If you need 0.01g in each cubic metre, that means that:
total weight of chaff = 0.00001*1000*1000*1000*1000 Kg = 40,000 tonnes!!!!!!
(where a metric tonne = 1000 kg: don’t ask me about imperial units – I’m not living in the stone age!).
That would need hundreds of cargo planes - even with some Galaxy's involved (each Galaxy takes at most 200 tonnes – most cargo planes a tenth of that) . And if we take a heavier type of chaff (2g/m**3) or the cloud was thicker than 100m (which it almost certainly was - look at this radar animation of a chaff cloud - it is more than 1 km in thickness:
http://radar-info.fzk.de/Html/Chaffa1.html
so to assume the cloud was 1000 times thinner than it was wide is silly!!) then you need thousands of Galaxys, as the cloud mass is then 2 million tonnes or more. But there are not even ten thousand Galaxy’s or Belugas on Earth.
Another point is that most chaff military exercises are at an altitude of about 2 km - but these mystery clouds were between 3 and 6 km in altitude.
After making these calculations, i was delighted to see them corroborated by a radar expert interviewed in the TV special on the 2005 case by science program Q21 of WDR TV - see
http://www.wdr.de/tv/q21/2351.0.phtml
He confirmed my estimate by saying that hundreds of planes would have been needed.
For the July 2005 case, even if 40,000 - 2,000,000 tonnes of chaff could have been dumped over the North Sea to spread eastward, this was not possible for the March 2006 case as the huge squadrons of supposed military would have had to release over central Germany, in a thickly populated area. No such phantom air force was noticed. It would have gotten me out of bed for one.
Ergo: dark matter, ghosts, cloudy ufo - in general, mystery and intrigue – I love it! Straight from the X-files

Message | well, what is it? It's hard to believe the Germans don't know...
Surely it's humidity/pollution or some similar effect - or some atmospheric radiation fooling the radar? Sensibly, it can't be much else | |

Message | Sorry, e-griff, but you seem to have speed-read teh piece, as I took care to drive home that a team of scientist from the cleverist country in Europe was able to systematically eliminate all the usual suspects - 'humidity/pollution or some similar effect - or some atmospheric radiation' do not give a strong, stable radar return for 10 hours a la heavy rain. Read the PDF where that scientific team scotches all such lame attempts to fob it off. No, as Holmes said, once the possible has been excluded ther remains only the impossible - ectoplasm on a massive scale, dark matter, aother universe peeking through etc. Exotic and x.files-otic! | |

Message | Maybe they only claim not to know what it is, as an admittance to knowing would lead to having to take responsibility somewhere along the line? I'm sure there's lots goes on that we aren't told about. Or maybe it is supernatural; who knows? In the end though, and from our writing perspective, it would be a great basis for a story!

Message | Well. the latest news is that, since a prosecution has been set in motion by the weather service via the 'District Attorney', against the supposed perpetretors of the massive 'chaff' action, the German army is now forced to investigate and on the 21st of April officially acknowledged this. The pressure had increased when a green politician in the Nieder Sachsen local parliament had tabled a motion demanding that the effects of this event be investigated, from the environmental as well as weather service chaos point of view. - REad here:

Message | you are right, I didn't go into the articles. But I stick to my guns here. The explanation will be fairly simple, and in retrospect, obvious. JohnG (aka Occam) | |

Message | And if Occam leads to ghosts - why not acept that? Very often the simplest answer is the paranormal one - sceptics then twist themselves into unbelievable convolutions and contortions that are infinitely more complex than the simple paranoramlity... For instance, subjective consciousness leads inescapably to the conclusion of a homunculus with infinite regress or a soul within the brain - reminds one of Metzinger 'panicking that the ghost of agency has not been truly exorcised' in the wonderful 'homuphobia' article - http://www.zynet.co.uk/imprint/online/homuphob.html . | |

Message | I would read it Easyd, but for the fact that I cannot read nor speak German! A rough translation if you have the time would be most useful, or at least a summary outlining the outcome. Thanks,
Romany. | |

Message | My translation of http://donnerwetter.de/news/menu.mv?action=show&id=6366 (with help from Google :-) ):
In February the weather service Donnerwetter.de pressed charges, because it assumed illegal experiments in the atmosphere. Now also the German Federal Armed Forces must go look for the cause for the "spirit clouds. In February Donnerwetter.de made public the case of the so-called phantom cloud . In July 2005 the weather radar showed a 350 kilometers long cloud, which did not exist at all over Northern Germany. Meteoroligists of different organizations, among other things the German and the Netherlands weather service, could exclude natural causes. Only plausible explanation: The radar echo was produced by particles or substances, which were suspended in large quantity in the atmosphere. For which purpose, it is still unclear. Donnerwetter.de therefore pressed charges because of the suspicion of illegal weather experiments and environmental pollution. ....
In March 2006 there emerged then several more times, puzzling structures in the radar images over Germany: While the earlier ' spirit clouds ' came from the North Sea to float over Northern Germany, there were structures which developed obviously over mid-Germany in March 2006. But who could be responsible for that? The alleged cloud from 19 July 2005 from the North Sea was nevertheless large enough to stretch from the Muenster region to north Gemany, covering a surface of approximately 100,000 square kilometers! "Private " experiments were thus excluded, implying that public research establishments were involved.
The German Federal Armed Forces anyhow do not perform such experiments and were not informed also about appropriate NATO exercises, explained speakers of the Ministry of Defense again and again. An investigation of the strange features in the air space over Germany however should not be held, according to some official sources. But now also the military are forced to investigate the "spirit clouds" for one reason: After a "small inquiry" of the Green delegate Ralf Briese to the federal state government of Lower Saxony, the German Federal Armed Forces commenced investigations.
Apart from the fact that we do not know what sort of substances or materials were spread and therefore a health danger cannot be excluded are for us, the falsified radar echoes are a large problem for meteorologists In the USA the national Weather service (NWS) in the past years even already published tempest warnings of heavy thunderstorms, because their colleagues were deceived by artificial radar echoes.

No wonder the German air force deny they perform such experiments - they wouldn't have enouugh planes to spread 100,000,000 Kg of material! Even NATO would be stretched to muster the hunderds of planes needed over central Germany. By the way the above update confirms my earlier calculations - 100,000 square kilometers about 1 km thick with a meagre 0.01g per cubic metre gives the weight I quote here. |
