Michael Lewis Arthur Meyer, the founder of Veterans On Patrol (an anti-government militia), told News 9 that his group is “targeting” Oklahoma weather radars based on a conspiracy theory that weather radars control the weather:
They can embed their technology and civilian infrastructure in every home and every household utilizing the phones and their network towers to not only control the weather, modify the weather, but they can [target] individuals. When the military plays God with the weather, they’re mocking our Heavenly Father by calling one of his most favorite instruments a ‘weather weapon.
News 9’s Chief Meteorologist David Payne debunked these bizarre claims:
We have one of the most powerful live radars in Oklahoma, and one of the most powerful live radars in the country, but we cannot do any weather modification at all. When it’s sabotaged, we cannot track severe weather. We cannot track tornadoes, and it basically becomes instantly obsolete.
