Skyward Cloud Seeding Experiments in North Carolina

18 August 2026 | ZeroNotification.com | ZEROGeoengineering.com | PDF  Skyward North Carolina June 2026 Experiments | Absent enforceable weather modification policy, our sky may be used as an open air chemistry and physics laboratory. Skyward Wildfire is a Canadian-based company conducting field-trials in the United States and Canada to test and deploy proprietary lightning prevention technology.  The following Skyward Wildfire Technologies Inc. weather modification report was submitted to NOAA regarding their June 2026 research experimentation activities in North Carolina. Keep in mind that NOAA has oversight of weather modification reporting, not weather modification activities.

According to the report, the purpose of the project is not to modify the weather. The purpose of the experiments are to: “Characterize storm dynamics, including updraft structure, storm evolution, turbulence, and particle transport behaviour.” The activities utilize proprietary AI-powered lightning forecasting, X-band radar technology, and the release of chaff (silica fibers coated with aluminum and / or basalt fibers coated with aluminum) via aircraft.  ZG readers  are aware that military chaff contains PFAS (Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances). According to PubChem, aluminum is flammable.

No environmental impact statement was provided

“The proposed project involves the controlled release of chaff into convective storm systems, with subsequent tracking and analysis using X-band radar technology. Skyward uses King Air aircraft to reach selected convective systems and release chaff into the storm cell. Chaff is preloaded into an onboard dispenser which is used to deliver materials via cloud based seeding into the airstream at suitable candidate storm cells at appropriate rates and quantities to allow for observation on radar. The materials released are silica fibers coated with aluminum and / or basalt fibers coated with aluminum (chaff). We expect to release approximately 2KG/ HR.”

The statement of intention shown in the report below reaffirms that TennesseeLouisiana, and Florida laws, which target only activities “with the express purpose” of altering temperature, weather, climate, or the intensity of sunlight, must be amended to include polluting atmospheric experimentation. 

“Please note, the intention of the project is not to modify weather, however, there is a chance that the release of chaff into convective systems results in a reduction of lightning.”

Skyward raises $8M CAD to scale lightning wildfire prevention.

A Seed Extension round led by Climate Innovation Capital, with participation from Diagram Ventures and Active Impact Investments — following Skyward’s first full operational season. 

“The funding follows Skyward’s first full operational season in 2025, during which the company worked with wildfire agencies to deploy AI-powered lightning forecasting and prevention systems across high wildfire risk geographies. Skyward’s proprietary technology enables government agencies and asset owners to identify where lightning is most likely to ignite fires and take preventative action before ignitions occur — reducing risk to communities, ecosystems, and critical infrastructure.”
