Your comment prompted me to look up that term on an internet search.
Cremation of Care Ceremony
I'm still reading all the info on the site though. Extremely interesting and relevant to this thread. Thank you for the hint. When narrow minds insist upon narrow beliefs the obvious becomes hidden.

I know the Chemtrail crowd will show up and panic anytime now, and I, myself, am concerned that they may decide to put some type of reflective material up there and counter a naturally occuring warming trend with an un-natural ice age, but this is still just science. It is no conspiracy........YET!

It's just plain criminal to dump about 700 pounds of material (Mostly CO, CO2, H2O, and N2. There will be 243 pounds of aluminum oxide which is very...harmless)

This is not at all the first time rockets have been used to release materials into the upper atmosphere.
Aluminum is the most abundant metal in the earth's crust and it is widely distributed.
Aluminum is a very reactive element and is never found as the free metal in nature. It is found combined with other elements, most commonly with oxygen, silicon, and fluorine. These chemical compounds are commonly found in soil, minerals (e.g., sapphires, rubies, turquoise), rocks (especially igneous rocks), and clays.
Aluminum occurs naturally in soil, water, and air.
High levels in the environment can be caused by the mining and processing of aluminum ores or the production of aluminum metal, alloys, and compounds.
Small amounts of aluminum are released into the environment from coal-fired power plants and incinerators.

Charged Aerosol Release Experiment (CARE)
CARE? Who are they kidding? And just when Essan and Ozweatherman had me almost convinced that chemtrails were not real...
Big news this
Good old NASA... can always count on them to stir the honey pot when things get slow

The U.S. Navy, NASA, and the U.S. Defense Department have made a decision to conduct one or more an atmospheric tests, in order to create an aluminum oxide dust cloud without the permission and for the most part, the knowledge of the citizens of the United States. These aluminum oxide particles will eventually return to earth polluting our air, water and soils. The tests may damage the various atmospheric boundaries that protect life on earth – no one has any idea what damage this dust cloud and the testing on this dust cloud may do to our climate, agriculture, human health or the amount of infrared and UV radiation reaching the Earth.
Summary form only given. The Charged Aerosol Release Experiment (CARE) will use a rocket payload injection of particulates in the lower ionosphere to determine the mechanisms for enhanced radar scatter from the electrons imbedded in an artificial dusty plasma in space. Natural dusty plasmas in the mesosphere near 85 km altitude have been shown to enhance radar scatter at VHF frequencies by 40 dB or more. The CARE program is designed to study the scatter processes near 200 km altitude in the ionosphere where densities are up to 1000 times larger. Numerical simulations of particulate transport in the upper atmosphere with charging by electron pickup or photodetachment have been used to predict the dusty plasma densities. These charged particle distributions provide initial conditions for particle simulations of plasma turbulence driven by the free-energy of the high-speed charged particle motion. Finally, radar signals scattered from the plasma irregularities are estimated using electromagnetic wave theory. The physical properties of the dusty plasma as will be determined using the radar echoes as well as in situ probes on the rocket payload and on secondary payloads launched after the dust has settled into the lower atmosphere. In addition, the NASA AIM satellite will measure the dust layer by-scattered sunlight and absorption.

from what i can tell this is really about studying Plasma in the atmosphere more than cloud busting.
