There is strangeness in our time, special strangeness, as should be apparent by now to all.

“A thick, ‘mysterious’ fog has descended upon a wide swath of the US,” is one recent headline.

That focused on a “fog” that descended from the Florida to the Mid-Atlantic and even up to states like Minnesota.

Was it all caused by simple meteorology: a sudden shift from unusually warm to unusually cold? When the cool air mixes with the warm moist air over the water, the moist air cools until its humidity reaches a hundred percent and fog forms, and January often starts with it, along with ice.

December holds the title of the foggiest month of the year on the East Coast of Florida, with an average of six foggy days for the month. Some years have seen even longer stretches, including a nine-day spell of dense fog back in 1944, the news informs us. It was prevalent in cities like Jacksonville and Daytona Beach.

But in that same state, in St. Peterburg, were reports that it tasted and smelled like “chemicals.”

A thick, 'mysterious' fog has descended upon a wide swath of the US, sparking fears of another 'Operation Sea Spray'

Even newspapers as far-flung as London reported it, saying, “Concerned citizens have flooded social media with videos of what looks like white particles raining down and swirling in the air. Some witnesses have also claimed the fog has triggered health symptoms similar to a respiratory illness. A Florida resident told DailyMail.com that they stopped at a gas station for about 10 minutes and began feeling ill. ‘Within about and hour, I kept sneezing over and over for about three hours, and my eyes were really puffy,’ she said.”

In Kansas were reported alleged “chem-trails” (though these often are simple jet contrails, which in some conditions can remain in the sky for inordinately long periods).

The suspended moisture, when illuminated, can resemble particles. (But quite like this?)

“Conspiracy theories about ‘the fog’ are picking up steam online as people report strange, thick mist followed by flu-like symptoms,” asserted the Daily Dot. “The thickness of the fog, its appearance under a flashlight, and the respiratory symptoms some have reported after exposure led many to theorize about chemical attacks, bioweapons testing, and, of course, aliens.

Widespread?

“Parts of Texas, Wisconsin, Iowa, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, North Dakota, Florida, and Minnesota were under fog alerts when the bizarre reports surfaced this week,” said the news.

Conspiracy theories are spreading, with some speculating that the fog might be a chemical weapon or somehow linked to the mysterious drone incidents that unsettled the nation in December.

The newest theory suggests the U.S. government could be responsible for the fog, possibly experimenting with a new biological weapon akin to Operation Sea Spray, a secret U.S. military experiment conducted in 1950 by the Navy to test the potential use of biological warfare agents and the vulnerability of American cities to such attacks. The operation took place in San Francisco, where the military sprayed a large amount of a supposedly harmless bacterium, Serratia marcescens, along with Bacillus globigii, over the city and its surrounding areas to see how it would disseminate in real time.

A sign of our mysterious time?

If nothing else, there is a lot of strangeness, from UAPs (hitherto known as UFOs) to YouTube accounts of futuristic experiments by deep dark segments of the military (which will be the focus of a future “Special Report”).

At any rate, the fog was an uncanny ingress for 2025.

And by the by: what happened to all those drones?
