| What the HAARP Signal Looks Like | Posted: BJNEWS 12/15/00 |

HOW IT LOOKS AND SOUNDS! 
HAARP (High-Frequency Active Auroral Research Program) is a high-powered radio
transmission research facility jointly operated by the US Navy, Air Force and
several
universities. Because of the high secrecy surrounding the government
HAARP project, many theories
have risen trying to explain what HAARP is and does. Most of them are
simply wild
speculations, based on fears about what "they are doing up there." It is
the purpose of this
article to provide sufficient technical expertise to dispel the mystery.
The above HAARP signal
was monitored on 3.39 MHZ and recorded in San Jose, California, about 5,000
miles
from the transmitter in Gakona, eastern central Alaska. At that distance
and frequency,
the signal can only be heard during the night after two F-layer ionospheric
skips. Some
short-term signal fading over the signal path may be the cause for the
variations in the
smooth roll-off in the amplitude from 1 sec to the end of the pulse at 6.25
secs. These loud
6 second pulses are usually repeated with a quiet 15 or 30 second pause between
pulses.
1. HAARP and ULF (Ultra Low Frequency) Waves
The HAARP sound recording may seem full of static. It is not. The
rushing roaring sound of a blow
torch is the HAARP signal itself, as shown by the silence or background noise
of the
receiver at the end of the pulse, and by the clarity of the tones at the
beginning. If you
wanted to see or hear the ULF (ultra low frequency) waves sent out by the HAARP
transmitter, you will be disappointed here.
My receiver is not equipped to record ULF waves in the region of 1 to 10 Hz, and
has an audio roll-off in the range of about 30 Hz. And besides, you can't
hear or see a
0.9 or 1 Hz signal anyway. It is way below the range of normal human
hearing.
You need instruments to sense it. A powerful 1 Hz sound
would probably be "sensed" as a slow rolling earthquake or a slight rocking
motion as
on the ocean. Nonetheless, a major component and purpose of the HAARP
signal is an
audio modulation at the frequency of about 0.9 Hz. And what is that
purpose? I'll get to
that in a moment.
2. HAARP Interaction with the Atmosphere
The HAARP pulse is primarily divided into two components. The first part is the
sections marked A and B on the chart and is the powerful "pre-heat" megawatt
pulse
aimed upward at the ionosphere just above the HAARP facility. As the radio waves
travel up through the atmosphere they have
no effect
until they reach the ionosphere
about 200 kilometers above the earth, which is far above the atmosphere. At
that point the waves
interact with the ions, which may be electrons, protons or ionized parts of
atoms like oxygen, ozone or
nitrogen.
Normally the particles in the near vacuum of outer-space in the region of the
ionosphere
are simply moving randomly in all directions. Some particles may hit each other
and
re-combine into normal atoms of oxygen and nitrogen, thus simply becoming a
part of
the atmosphere. Other particles may drift off into space and others may move
downward into the thicker atmosphere where they re-combine. Then along comes the
HAARP signal.
For about a quarter second during the part A and B of the pulse, the randomly
moving ions are now forced to madly race back and forth in the direction of the
radio
waves at the speed of light or 300,000 kilometers per second, which is real
fast. Many
of them strike atoms in the upper atmosphere and cause the atoms to also become
ionized. Thus the number of ions is suddenly increased. Since the neutral atoms
in the
atmosphere do not react to the radio waves, they remain more or less
stationary, and
become "sitting ducks" just waiting to be hit by one of the billions of racing
ions all
rushing back and forth in response to the HAARP waves.
Even if the neutral atoms don't become ionized, many of them are struck by the
fast ions and soon most of the atmospheric atoms high above the HAARP
transmitter
are also rushing in all directions but not back and forth as are the ions. This
sudden
increase in the motion of both the atoms and ions in the upper atmosphere is
called
"ionospheric heating." In fact, the HAARP facility, along with several similar
research
instruments in Europe and Russia, are in the category of Ionospheric Heaters.
But its
what HAARP does next during the part C of the pulse which makes HAARP unique.
3. Components of the HAARP Pulse
In portion A of the pulse, identifier tones are sent at frequencies of 360,
1000 and
1700 Hz, with some harmonics at higher frequencies visible on the graph. In
part B the
tones are 650 Hz with a harmonic at 1300 Hz. On the chart the yellow color
indicates a
very strong signal, the green indicates a medium strength signal and the blue
shows a
weak signal.
In part C of the signal there is a continuous tone at 2100 Hz which remains
during
the whole pulse and sometimes several seconds afterward. There is also a much
weaker tone around 2500 Hz during all of the pulse. And then there is all that
green/yellow stuff at the bottom, sloping upward to the right during all of
part C. What
the heck is that? To explain that we need to look at the HAARP antenna itself.
4. HAARP Circular Polarization
If HAARP only used the north-south beams then the electrons and protons in the
ionosphere would race madly in the north-south direction. And likewise if the
radio
waves move in the east-west direction, so would the ions. What HAARP does is on
each portion of the transmitter cycle it switches from the east-west to the
north-south
beams and back again.
If you could see the radio waves rising from the antenna they would appear to be
spiraling or "cork-screwing" upward. This is called "circular polarization" of
the radio
signal. This is not uncommon, since all commercial FM stations use circular
polarization to send horizontal signals to home roof antennas and vertical
signals to
automobile antennas.
But HAARP is not broadcasting to homes or autos, nor is it switching on each
cycle. No, the HAARP signal is corkscrewing upward at a rate of, TADA!, about
0.9 Hz.
And why is that? By corkscrewing the signal, the ions in the upper atmosphere
do not
just race madly back and forth, instead they move in BIG circles. And you can
get the
most ions running around the "race course" just above HAARP if you make them
have
a "lap time" of about once per second.
5. Optimizing the HAARP Rotation
What determines the optimum "lap time" is something called the plasma density
and is related to the temperature, number of ions, number of neutral atoms in
the
ionosphere, and some other factors I won't mention here. (Note: For more
information on
plasma density consult any of the many graduate texts on plasma physics. Also,
I have
oversimplified the relation between the 0.9 Hz signal and the "lap time." It
is not my
purpose here to provide a complete description of ionospheric cyclotronic
interactions.)
By making the ions, both electrons and protons, move in big circles they each
become little electromagnets with a north and south pole. At the latitude of
HAARP in
Gakona, Alaska the earth's magnetic field lines are nearly vertical. So if the
HAARP
circular polarization is either clockwise or counter-clockwise you can make the
ions
racing around at 0.9 Hz either be attracted to the earth's magnetic north pole
or
repelled. If the circling ions are attracted, then they would simply spiral
downward
toward the earth's north pole and run into the denser atmosphere and might
produce a
very weak aurora, hence the name High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program.
That's all very interesting but its not exactly the real purpose of HAARP.
6. HAARP as a "Particle Gun"
If the HAARP signal rotates so the ions circle around with their north poles
pointing
downward, then they are repelled by the earth's magnetic north pole and are
shot out
into the vacuum of space at nearly the speed of light. Wow, you mean HAARP is a
particle gun? You betcha! The largest one around, sorta.
But its not really a "gun" because you can't aim it at anything. The particles
simply
shoot off into space. But they are still spiraling and are magnetic, and as a
result they
follow along the earth's magnetic field. In less than half a second they arrive
at the
earth's south pole. There, they don't even touch the atmosphere but are caused
to
spiral more tightly by the earth's converging magnetic field lines, until they
are made to
flip over and are shot right back to the north pole, all in less than a second.
Thus
HAARP is really a particle injector which fires billions of ions into the
"magnetic bottle"
of the earth's magnetosphere, where they remain trapped for a long time.
7. Uses of the HAARP Particle Injection Device
So what can you do with a particle injector like HAARP? According to the
original
patent design, this device could be used to produce a thick blanket of fast
particles in
the region of the magnetosphere which would knock out any electronic controls
on, or
possibly completely destroy, any space
vehicle which flew through it. This was most interesting in the 1980's when the
patent
was filed and even in 1990 when the US government decided to build HAARP. At
that time the main nuclear threat was the USSR and any missile from Russia
aimed at
the US would need to pass through the magnetosphere over the north pole.
By deploying the HAARP system, no missiles from Russia would reach the US.
None. Zero. And that is pretty effective! Most people think of an ICBM as a
kind of big
rock or arrow. You just lob it from here and it sorta lands on the target over
there. Not
so. An ICBM is a space vehicle. It must take off using a large booster rocket,
travel at
near orbital speed in the vacuum of space until it is over the target then it
must re-enter
the atmosphere.
To survive re-entry the missile must use one of several schemes, like retro
rockets,
or deploying an ablative heat shield to protect the warhead from simply burning
up in
the atmosphere. If the missile's computer controls are destroyed when passing
through
the magnetosphere then the missile will not survive re-entry and will simply
burn up like
a piece of space junk or a meteor. There's a good chance the missile's control
systems
are destroyed even before the second stage separates from the booster, thus the
missile never even arrives over the target.
8. The HAARP Shield and the "Cold War"
In the 1980's and '90's a number of Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI or "Star
Wars") programs were developed. All of them, which relied on shooting particle
beams,
lasers or anti-ballistic missiles at the target were made obsolete and useless
in the
early 1980's. I know, since I worked on a number of them. They all relied on
knowing
where the target was and then shooting something at the target. The development
of
non-radar-reflective paint and surfaces, or stealth technology, meant you can't
tell
where the target is. If you don't know where it is, how can you shoot at it?
The only
effective defensive shield concept was and is HAARP.
My suspicion is, the decision to build HAARP in 1990 was one of the major
reasons for the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. Since ALL soviet missiles
would
be destroyed before re-entering the atmosphere, the USSR had neither an
offensive
nor defensive missile weapons system, other than nuclear submarines. The US
could
turn on and off the HAARP shield at will, so it was almost like putting the
"shields" up or
down on Captain Kirk's Enterprise on the "real" Star Wars. You put the shields
down to
fire weapons, then put the shields back up to defend against any incoming
missiles.
The USSR was no longer a nuclear threat nor even a nuclear power as soon as the
HAARP system was built. Bye, Bye USSR.
9. Where the HAARP Shield Fails
Unfortunately, the HAARP system is not exactly like the shields on the
Enterprise.
The shield follows along the lines of the earth's magnetic field. Near the
north and
south poles the magnetosphere reaches down to almost touch the atmosphere. But
near the equator the magnetosphere is several thousand miles out in space.
A missile from Russia going over the polar region must pass through the
magnetosphere. But a missile from China can deploy a second stage, reach orbit
and
deploy for re-entry all below an altitude of several hundred miles and never
come
anywhere near the magnetosphere. Thus HAARP is no defense against Chinese
nuclear weapons. A new technology is needed. And it was found.
10. New Methods for the HAARP Shield
About 1995 a number of ionospheric research physicists studying particles coming
from the sun, noticed the height of the particles above the earth's surface
bouncing
back and forth from pole to pole was dependent on their velocity. By slowing the
particles down the racing electrons and protons in the magnetosphere would drop
down
from several thousand miles to almost the top of the atmosphere about 20 to 50
miles
above the surface. Could HAARP be used to make that happen? Yes. By changing the
frequency at which ions race "around the track" above HAARP just before they
are shot
out into space, you can determine the height at which they travel.
11. The Pulse Graph Shows New HAARP Technology
Simply by changing the frequency of the circular polarization during the HAARP
pulse a vertical curtain of extremely fast particles can be made to drop down
from the
magnetosphere to just above the top of the atmosphere along the direction which
the
HAARP signal is sent. In the graph of fig.1 the sloping lines of the
green/yellow color
are caused by the base frequency of 0.9 to 1 Hz being shifted slightly during
the pulse.
What is seen in the graph is the higher frequency harmonics of the square wave
pulses which heat the ions but it is the ULF component which fires them into
space.
And it is the slow shifting of the ULF component during the pulse which
produces the
vertical curtain shield. I have seen and heard many pulses with the sound
seeming to
be falling. In this sample the sound is slightly rising. Sounding something
like the rising
roar of a jet engine during take-off.
12. What Else You Can Learn About HAARP
Well, that is a thumbnail sketch of what you can discover by looking at the
graph
and listening to the sound of the HAARP transmitter. Of course, none of this is
part of
the "official" story you can get by rummaging through the web pages at the
"official"
HAARP website
. You
might learn about the number of university programs which are
performing research on the ionosphere. But even in the "cover story" of
ionospheric
research, they hardly mention the study of Alfven Waves at the ultra low
frequency
(ULF) of 0.9 Hz. HAARP is supposed to be an HF or High-Frequency facility.
They do mention some of the students are doing studies on ELF (Extremely Low
Frequency) waves. But the only way you might find out HAARP is primarily a ULF
facility, despite its name, is by looking at the technical specifications of
the instrumentation. Especially, the
Induction Magnetometer
instrument which was made and tuned for HAARP to detect the pc1 Alfven waves
in the magnetic field with a ULF frequency of 0.9 Hz.
You can find out about the Navy's
ELF Systems
for communicating to nuclear submarines from antennas in Wisconsin and
Michigan operating at 76 Hz. You will find nothing about how the US Navy has
been using HAARP's ULF signal to transmit
much deeper in the ocean. Other countries can communicate to deep
subs with transmitters and antennas which can go down to about 7 Hz. But HAARP
operates at about 1 Hz. The lower the frequency the deeper the signal
penetrates the
ocean. To find out about the Navy's "Official" explanation of what they are
doing at HAARP, check out the
Navy HAARP Fact Sheet
.
At the HAARP website you might learn the third member of the triumvirate which
operates the facility is the US Air Force. And that's about all you learn.
Nothing is said about any Air Force activity at HAARP. Until you read
this article you would never have guessed, the part of the Air Force which
operates the
HAARP facility is the
Space Vehicles Directorate
, whose primary task is planning and engaging in space warfare. Check out the
"Official" Space Vehicles Directorate
AF HAARP Fact Sheet
to see what they want you to know. Now, why would the Space Vehicles
Directorate be interested in playing with some radios in Alaska? Doh. Well, now
you
know.
To find out about the primary purpose of HAARP you can take a look at the
patent
filed by Dr. Eastlund in 1985. The patent is filled with a lot of those
strange "chicken scratchings" of higher calculus used by plasma physicists and
theoretical radio scientists. Just ignore those. Thats only the stuff you put
in patents to fool the patent inspectors into thinking you know what you're
talking about before you actually build a device to prove you are right. But
the patent does have some nice pictures of how the
"corkscrewing" waves from the transmitter interact with the ions in the
ionosphere to
shoot them out into space. Along with the patent bibliography there is a clear
description of how a "HAARP" type device can be used. Taken together they give
a rather dry, but chilling description of the future of warfare in space.
If you have trouble downloading the images of the Eastlund Patent from either the US Pat Office or the IBM womplex websites, I have made a copy of the text version without the pictures. There are two items which you will see of prime importance; (1) the patent has been assigned to APTI Inc, (APTI is a small subdivision of oil company ARCO, the prime defense contractor which built HAARP) and (2) the Patent Office Classifications for the Eastlund patent are 89/1.11 and 376/100-123. And what do those classifications mean? Here's what the US Pat Off says about those Classifications. (Note: I added the emphasis so you can easily see what is meant)
Class 089 ORDNANCE Class Definition: This class includes all guns adapted to be mounted or supported otherwise than by hand, all explosion-operated guns including hand and shoulder firearms, bomb dropping devices, and those gun combinations and subcombinations which are not provided for in other classes including mounts, supports, carriages, loading and hoisting mechanisms, shields. Subclass: 1.11 WAGING WAR: This subclass is indented under the class definition. Subject matter relating to conducting wars between nations and states, to tactics employed by a military, police, or like unit, or individual to the detriment of an adversary.
Class 376
INDUCED NUCLEAR REACTIONS: PROCESSES, SYSTEMS, AND
ELEMENTS
Class Definition:
This class provides for patents directed to processes involving induced nuclear
reactions
and structures which implement such processes.
376 subclass 100
NUCLEAR FUSION:
This subclass is indented under the class definition.
Subject matter comprising structures and
processes in which two reacting nuclei are combined to yield at least one
nucleus having a
greater mass than either of the reacting nuclei.
376 Subclass 123
Principal heating by wave energy:
This subclass is indented under subclass 121. Subject matter wherein most of
the energy
imparted to the nuclei for bringing the nuclei to a condition sufficient for
reaction to take
place is imparted through electromagnetic energy.
The title of Eastlund's Patent is "Method for producing a shell of relativistic
particles at an altitude above the earths surface." You can see for yourself
the Assignee and the Classifications right on the first page of the
text version of Eastlund's Patent
. And in addition, you should look at the "CLAIMS" section and read claim
"7. The method of claim 6 wherein said
shell is formed as an anti-missile shield."
Also at the very end of the patent in the section called "BEST MODES FOR
CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION" you will read
"It can be seen from the above, that by generating a shell 20 of high density,
relativistic particle plasma,
an effective defensive shield can be provided to guard against offensive
missiles.
And that should clarify the purpose of the patent, and thus the purpose and
mission of HAARP.
So what does all that mean? Well, HAARP itself is a radio transmitter system
which heats a small portion of the ionosphere above the facility and does not
directly produce nuclear reactions. The circularly polarized radio waves or
"electromagnetic radiation" do cause "cyclotron" reactions in the ionsosphere
to toss the ions into the magnetic bottle of the magnetosphere. All those fast
ions trapped in the magnetosphere then act as a "shield" used by the "military"
to cause the incoming missiles to go Boom! And that is the "induced nuclear
reactions" indicated by the patent classification. So much for HAARP just
being a government facility for doing research on the aurora. And what else
does HAARP do? Well that's for a future coming article.
And if you want the real lowdown info on what "those guys" are really doing up
there at HAARP, then you can take a look at my previous article
The Unauthorized History of HAARP
. And you may say, "Hey waits a minute. Isn't all this stuff yer sayin Top
Secret? I mean the Navy and Air Force don't want all them Russians and Chinese
to find out what they'er doin. And aint them Chinese gonna be reely upset when
they finds out all theys nukaler missiles is just been made obsolete???" Well,
yeah. But I'll tell ya what. I'll make you a deal.... (standing and raising
right hand and looking all solemn and such) ... I promise ... if you don't tell
anybody, I won't either.
