The US military is releasing chaff above our heads ... tons and tons each year.

Someone please debunk this.



Chaff is used to reflect radar to give a target for a missile that is not the plane releasing the chaff. To reflect the radar signal, each piece of chaff needs to be longer than a quarter wavelength of the radar signal frequency. The highest frequency radars today operate as high as 12 THz, with a wavelength of about an inch. If it falls on you, you would brush it off, and the only way to get it into a lung would be to snort hard while shoving it down your throat with a wooden dowel. Don't worry.
