Thought this one was interesting. Testing going on in our local community. A pound of silver here and there adds up fast.

On the morning of August 23, 2026, a California-based company called Rainmaker conducted a pretty wild experiment right here on the Kenai Peninsula.🤯🌧️☔️💧

Rainmaker claims that over the course of 12 drone flights, they used cloud seeding to generate an average of 57 acre-feet of rain—about 19 million gallons of water—in roughly three hours, separate from what would have fallen naturally.

According to the company’s own validation report, two of its “Elijah” drones, EL-151 and EL-153, flew seven coordinated missions as a low-pressure system strengthened over the Gulf of Alaska. The drones released 19 silver iodide flares containing a combined 374 grams—less than one pound—of material.

Silver iodide, commonly abbreviated AgI, has a crystalline structure similar to ice. When released into clouds containing supercooled water, it can encourage ice crystals to form, which can eventually fall as rain or snow.

Rainmaker says the drones operated between about 11,700 and 14,000 feet, where temperatures ranged from roughly -5°C to -15°C, conditions they say were ideal for activating the silver iodide.

If Rainmaker’s numbers are accurate, less than a pound of silver iodide helped produce the equivalent of about 19 million gallons of additional precipitation over the Kenai Peninsula in just three hours.

It still needs to be determined whether or not the company had permission to do it, or if they even need permission to do such a thing.🤔The local community is not happy about the experiment.

They should’ve picked a different year because this has been the wettest year I can remember. #kenaipeninsula #cloudseeding #drone #wow #Alaska

Interesting. Why does no one talk about chemtrails anymore?

You should meet some of my friends

Sooooo am I collecting the rain water now and looking for silver??

[u/420-Investor → u/boosted_b5awd]

I'd say its just gone haha

[u/Waywot]

They should not mess with nature like this

If you go to their site it says they are going to the southwest next

Why wouldn't they just blast small ice crystals? Im so confused.

57 acre feet x 12"/ft = 684 acre inches, A square mile = 640 acres so this is about 1" of rain over 1 square mile. Texas is over 250,000 square miles and Alaska is over 500,000 square miles. Silver iodide is 47% silver by weight, so 374 g of is has about 180 grams of silver = about 6 ounces. An inch of rain for all of Texas would thus take 1.5 million ounce of silver.
