Sweetwater County resident alleges military ‘stratospheric aerosol’ program, urges local evacuation planning
Summary
An independent journalist told commissioners he and whistleblowers have evidence of military-run stratospheric aerosol injections and urged the county to set evacuation routes and disaster plans; commissioners listened but identified limits on local authority.
An independent investigative journalist, Michael Lewis Arthur Meyer, told the Sweetwater County Board of County Commissioners on Sept. 2 that he has worked with whistleblowers and federal agents and alleged a U.S. military program dispersing stratospheric aerosols and other materials over Wyoming.
Meyer, who identified himself as a Sweetwater County resident, said the program — which some in public discussion call “chemtrails” — uses radar and cellular infrastructure and results in soil contamination with aluminum, barium and strontium. “Your skies are being poisoned,” he said, adding he and a co-complainant have filed nonconsent claims with the Department of Defense and cooperated with an FBI agent in Oklahoma City.
Meyer asked county leaders to help set evacuation routes and coordinate disaster response with churches and businesses, saying the county would have as little as 30 minutes in the event of a dam failure upstream. He offered to provide witnesses and supporting material to commissioners.
Commissioners thanked Meyer for raising concerns and accepted his offer to follow up. Several commissioners noted limits to county authority over federal aviation and defense programs and suggested the matter may be more effectively addressed through state or federal channels; Representative Brady, speaking as a citizen, said he supported Meyer’s call to investigate.
The board did not take formal action on Meyer’s claims during the meeting. Chair West and other commissioners emphasized existing emergency-management and threat-assessment processes and encouraged coordination with county emergency-management staff.
The meeting record shows the board referred to existing local disaster-planning mechanisms but made no new commitments beyond accepting information and offering to review it.
The county’s emergency-management specialist was later cited in meeting discussion as a point of contact for threat assessments and planning updates.
