Image descriptions and plain text captions of written content are expected of all screenshots. Here are some image text extractors (I looked these up quick and will gladly take FOSS recommendations):

But what volume would it be? Is it a small amount of glitter or a lot? What's the g/cm³ of glitter? What about tiny bits of uranium? I feel like all the little bits of air between the glitter particles would lower the density compared with just a solid block of uranium which would increase the volume but....

I feel like someone should put some numbers in this thread.

I could but I'm too tired. Here is a picture of bulk glitter instead. Good luck finding listings for kilograms of uranium.

Obligatory mention: industry leader Glitterex has a customer that buys significantly more than anyone else, and they refuse to spill the beans. Internet folk have been searching for the answer for years with little luck. If you live in the Jersey City metro area and have torture equipment, you might solve a great conspiracy theory. /s

I’m still convinced that it’s a paint company or the military.

That does make the most sense but modern radars should be able to distinguish aircraft from glitter, which moves at wind speed.

It doesn’t necessarily have to be for the purpose of creating chaff, though that’s also where I first went. It could be something odd like anti-laser measures or a means of making air shows flashier. I’ve no clue, really. Black op glitter procurement is just the funniest option.
