HAARP goes back online

Tinfoil hat wearers rejoice


The HAARP antenna array is being brought back into service in a move that will make conspiracy nuts very happy.

For those who came in late, HAARP is the US Air Force’s High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program, the array is a 40-acre site containing a phased array of 180 HF antennas and their associated high power transmitters.

Normally such an experiment, built by the University of Alaska in the 1990s, would be a bit of a snooze. It was just an attempt to conduct research on charged particles in the upper atmosphere.

However, nothing can be that dull when you are a conspiracy nut and soon the internet became quite convinced that the site was either a top secret attempt by the US Air Force to communicate with aliens or a top secret US Air Force attempt to control the weather. The latter idea got the most traction as it was thought to be a cunning plan to devastate an enemy country's weather.

All that came to a halt a few years ago when the Air Force gave up the site to the university. Now it seems that some experiments are starting up again, only this time it will look at the effects of charged particles on satellite-to-ground communications, as well as over-the-horizon communications and visible observations of the resulting airglow.

What is weird, for conspiracy nuts, is that they are asking for help from Alaskan residents who listen to Short Wave broadcasts so the aurora’s can be tracked. They will obey of course if the Chem-trails worked.
