One organisation purports to possess the ability to manipulate weather patterns and implement substantial atmospheric modifications upon request, maintaining strong connections to British occasions.
The Cacique Cobra Coral Foundation represents a South American organisation that positions itself as esoteric-scientific, asserting its capacity to alter climatic phenomena through the spirit of the Cacique (derived from Taino terminology meaning ‘indigenous leader’), as channelled through medium Adelaide Scritori, who currently heads the institution.
The narrative interweaves spiritual convictions, media exposure, and numerous agreements and invitations that crossed international boundaries, even reaching the Royal family. The foundation’s official website states its purpose as seeking to “minimise catastrophes that can occur due to the imbalances caused by man in nature”.

However, Adelaide explains that the organisation’s origins predate her current role as medium considerably. She maintains that upon her birth, both her father and herself received communications from the Cacique’s spirit, which she alleges previously communicated with Galileo Galilei and Abraham Lincoln, reports the Express.
The foundation’s prominence, nevertheless, emerged during the 1980s, when Adelaide, alongside her husband, Osmar Santos, began presenting climate intervention proposals to domestic and international governmental organisations. In 1987, The Guardian published two articles about the foundation’s intriguing activities.
One article detailed an offer of assistance to Margaret Thatcher to alleviate a severe winter, while the other recounted a proposal to Iraq’s Saddam Hussein, offering weather manipulation in exchange for a ceasefire. It is reported that Thatcher disregarded the proposal, and Hussein politely declined.
This sparked curiosity within the UK. In 2011, during the wedding of Prince William and Princess Catherine, the well-known newspaper Folha de São Paulo reported that Adelaide Scritori had been commissioned by a wealthy businessman to travel to London and “keep the rain away from the wedding venue”.

A few years on, at the 2018 wedding of Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan, a similar scenario unfolded, with Adelaide positioned in Windsor to purportedly assist with the weather. Following her Royal engagements, the medium then worked on projects in the Gulf of Genoa and the Cannes Film Festival.
However, the Foundation’s followers are not confined to the UK. The FCCC claims to have been approached by several governments in crisis situations. During a period of nuclear tension in Asia, Japan allegedly requested assistance in inducing rainfall to disperse chemical residue in the event of a potential North Korean attack, according to co-founder Osmar Santos.
The group has reportedly been involved in similar situations before, such as during the Gulf War in 1991 and on multiple occasions in China, where they claim to have helped clear polluted air through targeted rainfall. The foundation’s influence extends to its home country as well – it was contracted by the Brazilian state of Santa Catarina in 1985 due to recurrent flooding, and by the city of Brasilia during its water crisis in 2017. The FCCC is also a regular feature at every edition of the Rock in Rio festival, despite lacking formal scientific recognition. The couple insist they do not charge for their interventions, as they operate as a non-governmental organisation.
