HAARP is located in Gakuna, Alaska. It is a collection of antennas placed on a computer controlled grid referred to as a “phased array.” The Navy and Air Force manage the program. According to the official government website:
“HAARP is a scientific endeavor aimed at studying the properties and behavior of the ionosphere, with particular emphasis on being able to understand and use it to enhance communications and surveillance systems for both civilian and defense purposes.”
The antennas send out powerful radio waves that are focused onto the ionosphere (the delicate upper layer of the atmosphere), heating up those areas. “Electromagnetic waves then bounce back onto the earth and penetrate everything — living and dead,” explains Dr. Nicholas Begich, an expert on HAARP. Not only does this technology have applications for communication systems and defense, but some believe it also has the capability to alter jet stream routes along with weather patterns. Many fear it could be used as a weapon of mass destruction as well.
Worldwide concern about using the weather as a tool for warfare has created a public outcry, demanding transparency regarding HAARP technology. A Canadian CBC documentary about HAARP asserts:
“It isn’t just conspiracy theorists who are concerned about HAARP. The European Union called the project a global concern and passed a resolution calling for more information on its health and environmental risks. Despite those concerns, officials at HAARP insist the project is nothing more sinister than a radio science research facility.”
