The Beijing Weather Modification Office is a Chinese government agency dedicated to weather control. According to Listverse.com the agency controls rain, deciding when and where it should fall. "It achieves this by firing crystals into the clouds to artificially induce rainfall. Most of the time, the agencysupposedly induces rainfall the day before a major event or right over a drought-prone region. The agency was very active during the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Its more than 32,000 full-time and part-time staff members fired rocket launchers and cloud-seeding rounds from anti-aircraft guns into clouds that floated close to the Olympic venues. The agency made the news again after Beijing experienced a rare and heavy snowfall in 2009. They claimed that they induced snowfall by firing silver iodide into the clouds."
