HAARP

HAARP ( High frequency Active Auroral Research Program ) is officially 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". Also some kind of heater of the ionoshpere has been talked about. But however depending on who you ask for a more detailed description, HAARP is either a futuristic weapon, a secret ( unkown ) research project of some kind or a global mind control scheme. Home of the High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program, a 33-acre cravel pad is located near Tok Highway 180 miles northeast of Anchorage, Alaska ( 62 deg 23.5 min North Latitude, 145 deg 8.8 min West Longitude )

This is what they say officially, General Information about the HAARP Program:
The HAARP program is committed to developing a world class ionospheric research facility consisting of:

          The ionospheric research instrument (IRI), a high power transmitter facility operating in the HF frequency range. 
          The IRI will be used to temporarily excite a limited area of the ionosphere for scientific study.

          A sophisticated suite of Scientific (or "diagnostic") instruments that will be used to observe the physical 
          processes that occur in the excited region.

Observation of the processes resulting from the use of the IRI in a controlled manner will allow scientists to better understand processes that occur continuously under the natural stimulation of the sun.
Scientific instruments installed at the HAARP Observatory will be useful for a variety of continuing research efforts which do not involve the use of the IRI but are strictly passive. Among these studies include ionospheric characterization using satellite beacons, telescopic observation of the fine structure in the aurora, and documentation of long-term variations in the ozone layer.
