Research Focus
The research includes examination of whether observed particulate characteristics are consistent with known natural and anthropogenic sources, while also considering the scientific literature concerning geoengineering programs, including proposed and documented atmospheric aerosol technologies and historical atmospheric-release experiments.
A central component of our analytical strategy is individual-particle characterization using advanced scanning electron microscopy (SEM/EDS) and automated particle-analysis technology. Where appropriate, we seek to utilize RJ Lee Group's IntelliSEM® platform and associated automated SEM methodologies to examine individual particles according to their size, morphology, elemental composition, and population characteristics.
RJ Lee Group's ParticleID™ allows analytical data, including SEM/EDS, FTIR, optical and Raman data, to be compiled into a particulate-identification database. Known materials can be stored as reference collections and unknown particles compared against them using images and spectral overlays.
Together, their uniquely designed, cutting-edge software, IntelliSEM®, supplemented by their ParticleID database and complementary chemistry and mineralogy techniques, provides the best individual-particle characterization and classification platform, which in turn provides evidence for source attribution.

Particular attention may be given to particles containing barium (Ba), strontium (Sr), aluminum (Al), and other elemental or isotopic signatures. Individual-particle analysis can help determine whether these elements occur together, what physical and chemical characteristics the particles possess, and whether they correspond to established source profiles.
Complementary techniques, including ICP-MS/ICP-OES, XRD, Raman spectroscopy, and isotopic analysis where appropriate, can provide independent lines of evidence for particle identification and source attribution.
Our objective is not to presume a particular explanation, but to systematically test competing hypotheses against measurable evidence.
What are these particles, where did they originate, and can their characteristics be explained by established sources, including, where scientifically appropriate, documented geoengineering-related materials or processes?
The research emphasizes independent verification, documented chain of custody, quality assurance, reproducibility, and transparent scientific interpretation.
Laboratory Partner
RJ Lee Group provides scientific consulting, laboratory testing, and materials analysis services, solving the complex problems other labs can't, from bench to courtroom.
With over 40 years of experience, their scientists and engineers specialize in materials characterization, failure analysis, environmental testing, chemical analysis, and forensic investigation. They serve industries including aerospace, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, energy, and government, delivering precise, defensible data when the stakes are highest.
Beyond testing, RJ Lee Group provides expert witness testimony and litigation support, helping clients navigate complex scientific evidence and regulatory challenges. Their clients rely on them not just for answers, but for the scientific rigor to back them up.
Every Coalition sample travels to RJ Lee Group under documented chain of custody. That is what allows our findings to stand up to independent review.

Methodology
01
Begin every project with the community's observations. Document timing, locations, and witnessed atmospheric events before sampling design.
02
GPS-tagged sampling grid, baseline geology and prevailing-wind documentation, plus photographic record of each site.
03
Soil, surface water, snowpack (where applicable), and passive air collection, coordinated to capture cross-medium movement.
04
Samples shipped through documented chain-of-custody to RJ Lee Group for particulate identification and elemental analysis.
05
Findings delivered in two formats, a community brief and a technical appendix suitable for regulators and peer review.
Field Documentation
Every Coalition study begins with the sky people are already watching. Residents across the Pacific Northwest and B.C. submit dated, geo-tagged photographs of unusual aerial activity, persistent grids, radial patterns, hazing events, and daytime halos. These images inform where and when we sample.
Flagship Program
In partnership with RJ Lee Group, the Coalition collects and analyzes high-altitude aerial particulates, characterizing size, composition, and origin signatures. The goal is to understand exactly what is being deposited in our airsheds and what it implies for soil, water, and human health downstream.
Why high-altitude matters
Particulates above the local mixing layer travel hundreds of miles before deposition. Identifying their signatures is how we trace the path.

Emerging Research Focus
Aerosolized particulates alone do not explain the timing and geometry of the weather patterns communities are observing. Our emerging line of inquiry examines the ground-based and satellite-relayed directed-energy infrastructure that appears to work in concert with atmospheric sprays, pulsed radio-frequency and microwave energy that ionizes selected volumes of the atmosphere and steers deposition.
Pulsed klystron delivery
High-power microwave pulses sent from ground arrays to direct weather outcomes over targeted regions.
Targeted atmospheric ionization
Focused beams ionize discrete atmospheric volumes, creating artificial pressure and moisture disturbances.
Particulates as signal carriers
Aerosolized metals appear to act as receptive media, carrying charge and functioning as cloud-seeding agents.
Frequency interference with climate systems
Controlled frequency emissions interact with, and interfere with, the natural atmospheric electrical circuit.
The Coalition's position on this line of research is deliberately measured: we treat the delivery-mechanism question as a working hypothesis that our sampling design must be able to test, not as settled fact. Findings are published only when the chemistry, timing, and radio-frequency records line up.
Multi-medium research
Contaminants don’t respect category boundaries. The same particulate identified in the air ends up in topsoil, in surface water, and eventually in food and drinking-water systems. We sample all of it.
Topsoil cores and snowpack samples to detect atmospheric deposition over time. Includes baseline regional geology to distinguish natural from non-native particulates.
Passive deposition collectors and active filter sampling at multiple altitudes. Coordinated with regional meteorological data to identify source-direction signatures.
Surface water, snowmelt, and rainwater samples. Tested for the same contaminants identified in airborne and soil samples to map cross-medium movement.
