Operation Popeye was a secret U.S. military project during the Vietnam War aimed at manipulating weather to gain a strategic advantage. By cloud seeding, the U.S. attempted to extend the monsoon season to hinder North Vietnamese forces. The operation ran from 1967 to 1972, involving over 2000 missions.
