In a fusion of the spiritual and the empirical, a South American organisation asserts it can shape meteorological conditions, reportedly impacting both high-profile nuptials and international emergencies.

One group purports to possess the ability to manipulate weather patterns and enact considerable alterations upon request, and it boasts notable connections to affairs in Britain.
The Cacique Cobra Coral Foundation is a South American establishment that portrays itself as both mystical and scientific, alleging it can alter climatic occurrences through the spirit of the Cacique (a Taino term for ‘indigenous leader’), as embodied by medium Adelaide Scritori, the institution’s present-day head.

Its narrative intertwines spiritual doctrines, media attention, and a sequence of agreements and invitations that extended beyond geographical boundaries, even reaching the Royal family.
As stated on its official site, the foundation aims to “lessen disasters that may arise from human-induced imbalances in nature”.
However, the entity’s history predates its current medium, Adelaide elucidates. She recounts that upon her birth, both she and her father were recipients of messages from the Cacique’s spirit, which she believes communicated with Galileo Galilei and Abraham Lincoln historically.

The foundation’s prominence, however, commenced in the 1980s, when Adelaide and her spouse, Osmar Santos, began submitting proposals for climate interventions to governmental entities both locally and abroad.

Before long, The Guardian released two articles regarding the spirit in 1987 – one detailing the foundation’s proposition to assist Margaret Thatcher in mitigating a severe winter, and the other recounting an offer to Iraq’s Saddam Hussein, wherein they proposed wind and rain in the country in exchange for a cessation of hostilities. Thatcher reportedly disregarded the proposal, while Hussein apparently declined it courteously.
This proved sufficient to capture British attention. 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 engaged by a prosperous businessman to journey to London and “prevent rainfall from affecting the wedding location”.
Several years afterwards, at Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan’s wedding in 2018, the same scenario unfolded, with Adelaide stationed in Windsor to purportedly influence the weather.
Subsequent to her royal endeavors, the medium then proceeded to work on the Gulf of Genoa and the Cannes Film Festival.
Nevertheless, the Foundation’s followers extend beyond the UK. FCCC asserts that numerous governments in times of crisis have reached out. During a period of nuclear apprehension in Asia, Japan allegedly sought assistance in generating rainfall – with the purpose of dispersing chemical remnants in the event of a potential North Korean assault, as stated by co-founder Osmar Santos.
A parallel circumstance reportedly transpired during the Gulf War in 1991, as well as in China on several occasions, where the foundation claims to aid in purifying polluted air through strategic rainfall.
The group’s impact also benefits its own nation – the foundation was, in fact, enlisted by the Brazilian state of Santa Catarina in 1985 due to persistent inundations, and by the city of Brasilia during its water scarcity in 2017. The FCCC is consistently present at each iteration of the Rock in Rio festival, despite lacking formal scientific acknowledgement.
The couple profess not to levy fees for any of their interventions, as they operate as a non-governmental organisation.
