Original Note:
As the weatherman explains, this is “chaff” – thin strips of aluminum or other materials designed to disrupt radar guided missiles, in use since WWII. It does not affect weather https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaff_(countermeasure) It was likely dispensed from an F-15 out of Klamath Falls, OR, home of the 173rd Fighter Wing https://www.173fw.ang.af.mil/
