6 December 2025 | ZEROGeoengineering.com | The Current Status of WEATHER MODIFICATION A Summary — 1964 was published by the Texas Water Commission. Report outlines State, Federal, and International efforts with the United Nations with the ultimate goal to control the weather and modify the climate via “meteorological research.”  

“Two conclusions emerge from our analysis of this matter. The first is that the potential importance of the problem warrants a substantial effort of meteorological research, with a significant increase in the scientific manpower concerned with basic and applied research in the atmospheric sciences at universities and in government and private research laboratories.  The second is that the nature of the problem, its magnitude, and the possible consequences of success in achieving any significant mastery of the atmosphere, are compelling reasons for a cooperative international effort.”

weather modification experiments should be scientifically controlled, performed under the direction and supervision of a qualified meteorologist, accurate records should be kept, and reports on the experiments should be made through appropriate scientific media; 

attempt to alter, if not outright control, nature’s capricious release of water stored in the atmosphere.

Weather Modification Projects in the United States, Fiscal Year 1962

All cloud-seeding operations should be considered as experiments since the techniques are still under development and there is no sound basis for the quantitative estimation of the results in advance of the operation.

We heartily endorse the resolution unanimously adopted in the United Nations on December 20, 1961, for a cooperative international effort to improve weather prediction and to explore the possibilities of weather control and climate modification.

NSF-sponsored efforts (National Science Foundation)

“Congress appropriated $1.1 million for Reclamation’s expanded program in the field of atmospheric water resources for fiscal year 1965,”

…an Office of Atmospheric Water Resources is being established in the Bureau to administer the contracts and to facilitate engineering research in the atmospheric sciences with the initial goal of determining the feasibility of increasing the water supply on Reclamation projects throughout the Western United States. The office will be at the Bureau’s engineering center in Denver, Colo.,

We believe that a vigorous program of basic research directed toward the ultimate goal of weather control should be pursued.

“Use of Aircraft for Weather Modification SEC. 1112. Except for the purpose of diverting a hurricane or tornado, no person shall eject or drop any matter from an aircraft in flight in air commerce over any State for the purpose of affecting weather, unless such person has obtained consent therefor from the occupants of all lands underlying the place where such matter is ejected or dropped and the trajectory followed by such matter after being ejected or dropped.”    – Proposed Bill H.R. 8708   October 3, 1963
