Unbelievable conspiracy theories are starting to emerge about Cyclone Alfred including that it was created by humans
Conspiracy theorists blame condensation trails for ex-tropical cyclone Alfred
'Chemtrails' left by planes in the sky affect the weather, conspiracists claim
A growing number of people are questioning whether ex-tropical cyclone Alfred was a natural phenomenon or if it was a man-made disaster.
The condensation trails left behind aircrafts flying in the sky were actually chemtrails which altered Alfred's weather patterns, conspiracy theorists have claimed.
The ex-cyclone initially looked like it was going to pass Australia by before it took a sharp u-turn towards the country earlier in the week.
Those not content with the Bureau of Meteorology's assurance that the sudden shift was quite natural instead began turning their attention to a niche US military program from 1993.
The High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) focused on radio wave propagation, ionospheric disturbances, and space weather effects.
HAARP was originally a joint US Navy and Air Force program run out of the University of Alaska.
Some social media users believed the program was launched by the government in an attempt to understand how to influence extreme weather events.
Experts however dismissed the idea of HAARP ever having been used in any way which could impact cyclones or other natural disasters, according to AAP FactCheck.
