crossfire Claims About Glow-in-the-Dark Bird Flu Mistaken for Hazardous Chemical Trial in 3 States
A viral video is claiming that federal agencies are secretly testing a "glow-in-the-dark chemical" in residential areas of Ohio, Texas, and Florida as a bioweapon. The footage shows a strange green mist glowing over a field at night.
This is fake. The green glow is actually caused by a new type of bioluminescent viral tracer—a harmless, light-producing protein added to a non-infectious bird flu monitoring program. Local health officials confirmed the "glow" is a safety measure to track windborne particles in a controlled study, not a secret weapon. The video mislabels it as a chemical "crossfire" attack. No hazardous materials were released, and the glow is only visible under specific UV light conditions, not with the naked eye as the video suggests.
