And seeing it from 50 feet would all depend on lighting and what it had gathered onto its surface falling from 30,000 feet through a debri field.

No you don't.
You are looking at an uncut spool of metal-fiber thread.
What you are saying is that because you can see a spool of thread, you will still be able to see it after it is cut into lengths of 2-3 cm and disbursed.
Further, do you know what the volume of an aircraft chaff round is? Its about the same as a 10ga shot-shell, with a total capacity of 40-60 rounds per aircraft.
So, in summary, you are stating that you could take half a gallon of shiny thread cut into bits 2-3cm long, release it from 30,000 ft, and see it falling. You are wrong.
I've witnessed a lot of chaff being shot out of aircraft and beyond a small white puff next to the airplane, there is nothing visible.
So here is what chaff really looks like. Are you still thinking that you can see it after its disbursed, and that is what you are seeing in the video?
