Why scientists used these radio transmitters to create artificial auroras [HAARP]
Popular Science ^ | NOV 10, 2023 | BY CHARLOTTE HU

If you live in and around Gulkana, Alaska and recently saw some eerie lights in the sky—don’t worry; they were all part of a science experiment. Earlier this week, researchers from the University of Alaska Fairbanks and several other US institutions created artificial auroras by sending radio pulses into the Earth’s ionosphere using HAARP (High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program) transmitters on the ground. The frequencies of these transmissions were between 2.8 and 10 megahertz.

If you noticed a faint red or green splotch in the sky above Alaska between November 4 and November 8, chances are good that you saw the experiment in progress.

This is what they’ve been using to heat up the planet.

Angels Don’t play this H.A.A.R.P.

There's a fun word play in that title.

From the article:

These transmitters act as heaters that excite the gasses in the upper atmosphere. When the gasses “de-excite,” they produce an airglow between 120 and 150 miles above ground, according to a notice about the project issued by the HAARP team.

Now you take the double A: there's a letter for that:

Å
C5 (dec. 197)
LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH RING ABOVE

Similarly styled trademarks

The logo of the Major League Baseball team known as the Los Angeles Angels is a capital "A" with a halo. Due to the resemblance, some Angels fans stylize the name as "Ångels".

Also on that [Wikipedia] link:

The letter "Å" (U+00C5) is also used throughout the world as the international symbol for the non-SI unit ångström, a physical unit of length named after the Swedish physicist Anders Jonas Ångström. It is always upper case in this context (symbols for units named after persons are generally upper-case). The ångström is a unit of length equal to 10−10 m (one ten-billionth of a meter) or 0.1 nm.
Which leads me over to the "airglow" link I put in the initial post:

History

The airglow phenomenon was first identified in 1868 by Swedish physicist Anders Ångström.

Coincidence? 🤓

HÅRP😉

Sounds like a Directed Energy Weapon, but that’s just a right-wing, black-helicopter conspiracy theory.

What/who inspires these name acronym-words, anyway.

Strange things on that point alone.

What are they really doing?

HAARP, DEW (DO?)

These frequencies don’t cause heating in tissues like microwaves do except at very close range (inches, feet).

The same could be said for Hamas. It’s mentioned in the Bible.

Interesting!

Question: Radio was invented in 1920, but Angstrom identified airglow in 1868. What kind of phenomenon was he referring to?

Through the airwaves
People never read the airwaves
Do we only feed the airwaves
I really should have seen through the airwaves

... don’t worry; they were all part of a science experiment.

Haven't people been worrying about HAARP since ... like forever?

Sciencetec Daily.com has a good story about it too.

I don't know save for what's written there...

>>>

Airglow existed in pre-industrial society and was known to the ancient Greeks. "Aristotle and Pliny described the phenomena of Chasmata, which can be identified in part as auroras, and in part as bright airglow nights."

<<<

Is this a setup for a great pun? 😇

"Chasmata" -- it's a deep dive!

Weird. I don't know how that etym. technically rolls, but I was initially reminded of the Hebrew "chashmal" -- electricity -- but is the amber in Ezekiel.

Ezekiel 1:4 And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire infolding itself, and a brightness was about it, and out of the midst thereof as the colour of amber, out of the midst of the fire.

I used to live in a place where I could walk out onto the balcony and watch the shape-shifting auroras dance and sing as they swiftly materialized and dematerialized. Sing... because there's a ghostly sound in the air not of the normal wind.

HAARP has managed to generate a couple of Christmas lights, though. I suppose that's the important message that Frank talked about: "just because something's important, doesn't mean it's not very very small."

Scientific experiments have been conducted to induce airglow by directing high-power radio emissions at the Earth's ionosphere.[9] These radiowaves interact with the ionosphere to induce faint but visible optical light at specific wavelengths under certain conditions.[10] The effect is also observable in the radio frequency band, using ionosondes.

It's got something to do with the ionosphere.

Ha, I fell into a well of “80s”.

Blast(s) from the past, thanx!

HAARP will have to get in line behind the other conspiracy theories.

James Clerk Maxwell had given the world his famous Maxwell’s Equations unifying electric and magnetic field theory and predicting / explaining electromagnetic radiation (radio waves, etc.) by 1871. ( “Let there be Light”).

Hertz demonstrated how to transmit and detect electromagnetic radiation in the early 1880s.

Early radio was radio-telegraphy. Radio as you mean it, commercial AM carrying voice and music may have boomed in the 1920s but the physics of electromagnetic radiation had been pretty well explained for almost 50 years at that time.
