Wait just a tick. If these things are tossing anti-matter into the sky all willy nilly and all, how come no jet planes have been hit by all this anti-matter flying around up there?

I mean just by sheer accident one plane, somewhere, should disappear in a spectacular explosion every once in a while. Right?

It’s all about the quantity of anti-matter.

I wouldn’t be all that surprised to find that many airplanes are missing dozens of atoms lost in matter/anti-matter collisions.

Single positrons. Just enough to generate the sort of Gamma rays detected during lightening storms, not enough to react on a macro level.

Tempests in the tiniest of teacups.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Maybe on account of all this funky crap is going on more than 100,000 ft MSL ... that's why it's being detected by satellites, rather than aircraft.

I thought the article spoke about the monitoring spacecraft getting
hit by beams of antimatter..no?
Probably not enough to cause structural failure, but suppose
it hit the right spacecraft.....

You don't fly over serious T-storm. The monsters that do this can easily reach well over 35 thousand feet and destroy a commercial aircraft blundering into them. Commercial aircraft are incapable of getting above the biggest storms and antimatter would be the least of the worries if they go through them.
