Aside from the sensationalized "artifical fog" in the headlines, the real part of the story is this:
"...Poles are anxious to discover whether American military intelligence recorded conversations made from the aircraft’s satellite phone as part of a Nato signals monitoring network.
Colonel Jerzy Artymiak, from the Polish military prosecutor’s office, confirmed that a request for American assistance has been made although did not provide any further information. Although investigators have stressed that probes into artificial fog and remote instrument tampering are just lines of inquiry they will help fuel conspiracy theories in Poland blaming Russia for the crash."
The have asked the U.S. to help with the investigation on the FDR and CVR.
The Russians continue to deny the Poles in obtaining the originals.

Obama has already returned the 10 Russian Spies caught last week!
He is not going to help Poland.
Or any anti Russia investigations.

This is the daily Tin Foil Hat remblings of this non-pilot weatherman who knows nothing about flying.
The source inside Poland is usually something that makes DEPKA look good.
Ignore them completely.

'Artificial fog’ may have brought down (Polish) president’s plane No, a pilot who, through either arrogance or political pressure, igonored repeated warnings that the fog was below minimums and attempted a landing is what brought down (Polish) president's plane.

there is a scientific and technical capacity to generate artificial fog... That's simply ridiculous. No, more likely it was artificial high ground covered with artificial trees.
