Declassified CIA files reveal that the U.S. government explored controlling the weather as a weapon of war.

The documents, originally classified and released in 2003, describe experiments using rockets and planes to release chemicals into the atmosphere to alter storms and local climates.

Memos from 1965 show plans to expand funding for these weather modification programs, which coincided with U.S. efforts in Vietnam to trigger floods and landslides. An 18-page report, recently shared online by conspiracy theorists, includes a letter from President Lyndon B. Johnson praising the secret operation.

Johnson had previously hinted at the power of weather manipulation in a 1962 commencement speech, saying, “He who controls the weather will control the world.”
