The HAARP facility may be closing prompting the obvious question: Why?The High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) is/was the world’s most powerful Ionospheric Heater, pushing the boundaries of radio frequency science and plasma physics while inflaming conspiracy fans and foreign governments alike. [1][2]
Ionospheric Heaters are becoming more compact, opening the door to a myriad of hardware options for sky-altering microwave experiments. Here are just a few:
Trucks and Trailers
“Air Force Aims for Weather Control”
Someday the U.S. military could drive a trailer to a spot just beyond insurgent fighting and, within minutes, reconfigure part of the atmosphere, blocking an enemy’s ability to receive satellite signals, even as U.S. troops are able to see into the area with radar.
“This scenario may not be far away,” says Defense Tech pal Sharon Weinberger in this month’s edition of the always-excellent Defense Technology International.
An engineer with Research Support Instruments [3] in Princeton, N.J. recently completed the first phase of work for a U.S. Air Force sponsored project called Microwave Ionosphere Reconfiguration Ground based Emitter, or Mirage. [4]
The work involves using plasma an ionized gas to reconfigure the ionosphere. Mirage would employ a microwave transmitter on the ground and a small rocket that shoots chaff into the air to produce about a liter of plasma at 60–100 km. (36– 60 mi.) in altitude, changing the number of electrons in a select area of the ionosphere to create a virtual barrier. Ionosphere reconfiguration offers two major applications of interest to the military: bouncing radars off the ionosphere, also known as over-the-horizon radar, and the ability to jam signals from the Global Positioning Satellite system, according to John Kline, the lead investigator for Mirage. [5]
This work is only the latest effort in Kline’s more extensive investigations of atmospheric plasmas. Before Mirage, Kline had another contract for a project called Plasma Point Defense, [6] which explored the possibility of using a plasma weapon on board a U.S. Navy surface vessel to protect against threats ranging from surface-to-surface missiles to mortars and rocket-propelled grenades. [7][8]

Boats, Submarines, Planes, and Drilling Rigs
Project Lucy, three radars focus their beams on changing methane clouds into diamond dust. HAARP Geoengineering SRM.The need to act on methane in the Arctic is such that, most likely, a range of methods will need to be deployed in parallel. Lucy has the potential to be very effective, as it can decompose methane while any resulting nano diamond powder could also reflect sunlight back into space. Project Lucy therefore aims to design, build and test a microwave transmission system targeting low-altitude methane clouds with the aim of breaking the first C-H bond as soon as the methane erupts into the atmosphere from the Arctic Ocean.
The transmitters can be mounted on submarines, planes and after 2015 on boats and drilling rigs when the Arctic ice cap has melted
The noctilucent clouds help reflect the suns heat back into space so if we can break down more methane with the HAARP or Lucy transmitters we should generate more clouds and thus help reverse global warming by:-
a) Getting rid of the high global warming potential methane at low altitudes and in the stratospheric global warming veil.
b) Generating sunshine reflecting noctilucent clouds in increasing amounts in the mesosphere which will reflect the suns energy back into space.
If we could transmit 13.56 MHZ on the IRI transmitter and use the other radars and optical cameras to look for reflections from noctilucent clouds formed from the breakdown of methane in a circular zone above the HAARP transmitter we should be able to effectively test the system. There ought to be a buildup of the noctilucent clouds in the area where the HAARP transmissions are focused on the ionosphere. If it works there are 4 other similar facilities in the world (Hipas, Alaska; Arecibo, Puerto Rico, EISCAT, Norway and Sura, Russia) where they could immediately attack the atmospheric methane as well.

The Strawman HF Array
Why in the world would they close the HAARP facility? Would you believe me if I told you they are planning on dragging HAARP barges around the ocean? [10] Here is the REAL answer:![On the Viability and Requirements of a Barge Based ELF System, 2010 [10]](http://i1.wp.com/climateviewer.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/HAARP-breakthrough-ICD-equator-ELF-boat.jpg)
On the Viability and Requirements of a Barge Based ELF System, 2010 [10]
A New Paradigm in Sources and Physics of High-Power Ionospheric Modification [11]
Background
• The Ionosphere controls the performance of critical DoD & civilian systems [ Communications range, radar, naviga<on, Geolocation accuracy, etc ]
• DoD/civilian active research using traditional ionospheric heaters provided new capabilities andapplications that allow control/exploitation of triggered processes (Virtual antennas in space, artificial clouds, irregularity control, …)
• The low power of traditional heaters resulted in large arrays and active elements, with complex and costly controls leading to fixed installations
• Fixed locations are associated with fixed magnetic geometry limiting the scope of the research investment
The ChallengeDid they just say “Artificial Clouds?” Let me explain.
• Utilize new concepts of meta-materials active nonlinear materials operated at high power microwave (HPM) devices to replace the current large collection of sources used in traditional heaters with a single, mobile, and cheap high‐power amplifier at the required HF frequencies
• Mobile inexpensive sources will revolutionize the science and operations of ionospheric modification
Objective
Assemble team of physicist and engineers from space science, ionospheric modification (IM), plasma modeling and HPM to re‐examine the coupling of EM energy to the ionosphere under different geomagnetic latitudes and conditions
Outline research program to :
• Determine the key properties of the EM source (frequency, ERP, Power, waveform, phase, modulation,..)required to explore EM-‐Plasma coupling and other the critical physics questions as a function of geomagnetic location and ionospheric conditions
• Define and design modern, efficient, powerful, tunable EM sources for IM and provide hardware testing under typical university HPM laboratory conditions (vacuum loads and/or anechoic chamber)
• Develop theoretical tools and framework to design feasibility experiments to demonstrate and test the results of the IM research [11]
Some of you may have heard the term “Artificial Ionospheric Mirror” as seen in one of HAARP’s related patents. These “artificial clouds” are radio-reflecting plasma clouds, used as a mirror in the sky to reflect radio signals over the horizon. [12]
With the advent of smaller mobile arrays, Artificial Ionospheric Mirrors will no longer be limited to polar regions. A new technique called the Ionospheric Current Drive (ICD) [13] will allow HAARP-like heaters along the equator to create ELF waves and tiny Artificial Ionospheric Mirrors called “Super Small Size Field-Aligned Scattering (SSS FAS) mirrors.” [14]

What is so special about this green ELF belt?
Summary of equatorial location advantages
• Equatorial ionosphere much more reliable than auroral
• Equatorial electron density profiles better suited to heating at high altitudes (improving heating efficiency and reducing absorption)
• Cowling current provides a factor of 100 more ELF power than aurora for similar VMD moment
• Equatorial heating creates significant vertical electric dipole moment providing isotropic coverage
• Equatorial and sea based facilities can provide global ULF/ELF coverage for all frequencies up to 50 Hz
• Required HF frequency 6-10 MHz. Facility smaller and relatively inexpensive
What is the Next Step ( VERIFY EXPERIMENTALLY SCALING WITH GEOMAGNETIC LATITUDE )
• Design a simple low-cost RF transmitting system (~ 200-300 KW) at 6-10 MHz
Options
1. Use existing GFE equipment from OTH-B surplus: antenna, transmitters, cooling system, ground screen … etc
2. Re-design with solid state technology – Modular design for ease in relocation
• Select Equatorial Test Location
1. Jicamarca Peru – Operated by Cornell for NSF – Complete diagnostic instrumentation and infrastructure –Joint ONR/NSF operation
2. Explore US sites such as Guam [13]
There you have it folks! HAARP arrays on trailers, trucks, boats, planes, submarines, oil rigs, and barges, OH MY!
As these boats are fleshed out, built, and tested, expect that I will keep you all up date on the latest in mobile ELF generation and Sky Heating!
Enjoy the headaches. Now you know why they are closing HAARP.
This HAARP boat is real!
