My daughter is a weather nut. I’ve been looking through some older weather books, and have found holes – they’re merely super cooled droplets freesing into ice crystals and evidently pretty common in cumulus type clouds – and the tails he ranted about are called virga or “mare’s tales”. They usually happen when a cumulus cloud tries to rain over a dry area, the rain evaporates before it hits and leaves those pretty tails. 🙂
Still looking for the square things. 😉

And he quit his job to give him even more time. To me, that was the “zowie” moment.

Oh wow — I made my first trackback! 🙂 I’m so proud of myself.
To keep this post from being spam: this guy is grasping at ludicrous evidence and clearly has way too much time on his hands.

PS…
I meant to add: The best example of a serious evaluator taking Bearden seriously is an essay by the late Dr. Stephan Possonoy, coauthor with Dr. Pournelle of The Strategy of Technology, reprinted in There Will be War, volume V.”

Holly,
I haven’t actually checked the site yet — I saw the same link you probably did on Drudge earlier today — but then I didn’t really need too 🙂
There is an extensive and vocal community of…I’ll say individuals … who believe that Tesla left notes on various wonderweapons that both the Russians and American’s have duplicated, including weather control and a variety of other effects. Probably the most vocal modern proponent — and the one who has succeeded in actually getting US government funding to study the subject, is a local (to me) gentleman named Tom Bearden.
I’ve read a couple of Bearden’s more extensive reports over the years. While it fails the “suspension of disbelief” tests, to the extent that I’ve had time and energy to evaluate any of his claims rigorously, I’ve not been able too. And certainly nothing subatantial has seemed to come from the thousands of web pages that Bearden and his followers maintain.
So while my belief is certainly that this weatherman isn’t playing with a full deck, I can’t sit here and tell you he is wrong…

Uh, I think this guy is off his medication.

Be careful. I was that way until 18 years ago when I needed to drive 13 hours to a funeral immediately after returning from a 13 hour drive from the same place. I drank one cup of coffee to help me stay awake for that return drive, and now I drink a big cup of the nasty stuff most days.

I hate coffee. It’s only useful when I’ve been away since 2AM and have decided to stay up really, really late the same day in order to kick my sleep schedule back into something sane. Have decided that tomorrow will be the official day off for the week.

I didn’t know you drank coffee. You continue to surprise me, Woman.
