HAARP BOILS THE UPPER ATMOSPHERE HAARP will zap the upper atmosphere with a focused and steerable electromagnetic . beam. It is an advanced model of an ‘ionospheric heater’, (The ionosphere is the electri- r adi o-wave beam cally-charged sphere surrounding Earth's upper atmosphere. It ranges between about 40 to 600 miles above Earth's surface.) . may rr epar ab / y Put simply, the apparatus for HAARP is a reversal of a radio telescope: antennas send ' out signals instead of receiving.

Research Program is mainly an academic project with the goal of changing the ionosphere mental and physi cal to improve communications for our own good. However, other US military documents h | h put it more clearly: HAARP aims to learn how to "exploit the ionosphere for Department ealth. of Defense purposes". Communicating with submarines is only one of those purposes. Press releases and other information from the military on HAARP continually down- play what it could do. Publicity documents insist that the HAARP project is no different than other ionospheric heaters operating safely throughout the world in places such as Arecibo, Puerto Rico; Tromsg, Norway; and the former Soviet Union. However, a 1990 government document indicates that the radio frequency (RF) power zap will drive the ionosphere to unnatural activities: Its superpowerful Bi Ni 7 ..at the highest HF powers available in the West, the instabilities commonly studied are ©1995 by Dr Nick Begich and approaching their maximum RF energy dissipative capability, beyond which the plasma Jeane Manning | processes will 'run away' until the next limiting factor is reached.
