The HAARP Project Explained Simply

Over on YouTube Curious Droid has uploaded an interesting video that attempts to explain the purpose of the HAARP transmitter project. The High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) is an ionospheric research program based in Alaska. It consists of a high power transmitter and antenna array which is used to excite a portion of the atmosphere in order to study the ionosphere and investigate methods of affecting radio communications. Recently HAARP was also used in an art project called "Ghosts in the Air Glow" which saw HAARP used to transmit several audio art pieces.

HAARP has also been a popular target of conspiracy theorists who believe that the transmitter must have some sort of sinister purpose. Curious Droid's video explains the purpose and science behind HAARP elegantly, hopefully dispelling any conspiracy theories.

He also explains where some of the conspiracy theories may have originated from. The original idea that HAARP was based on was a patent claiming the ability of Ionospheric heating to disrupt communications, take down missiles & satellites, affect weather, scan the earth and even affect brains. However, a project with such abilities would require ridiculous levels of electrical power and land space for the antennas, making it very unrealistic.

Why is Project HAARP so controversial?

i saw the original video years ago when the Creator of the system made a statement about the system, and how the government was taking it over, then some billionaire purchased it. He said he created it to modify weather, to move rain clouds to areas who needed the rain. It was like everything else originally created for the better good of humanity. But of course you can’t find it online anymore. And he stated in the video that YES it can modify the weather. And he was concerned that they would puncture the protective shield. if you think for one moment that evil people will not use this for bad things, you live in a fantasy world.

Nope

A VERY informative video.

All non-Hams should watch this.

Funny to see the conspirists / fidiots in the comments too.
