An interesting documentary on HAARP from 30 years ago. The High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) is a University of Alaska Fairbanks program which researches the ionosphere – the highest, ionized part of Earth’s atmosphere.
The most prominent instrument at HAARP is the Ionospheric Research Instrument (IRI), a high-power radio frequency transmitter facility operating in the high frequency (HF) band. The IRI is used to temporarily excite a limited area of the ionosphere. Other instruments, such as a VHF and a UHF radar, a fluxgate magnetometer, a digisonde (an ionospheric sounding device), and an induction magnetometer, are used to study the physical processes that occur in the excited region. Work on the HAARP facility began in 1993.
Initially HAARP was jointly funded by the U.S. Air Force, the U.S. Navy, the University of Alaska Fairbanks, and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). It was designed and built by BAE Advanced Technologies. Its original purpose was to analyze the ionosphere and investigate the potential for developing ionospheric enhancement technology for radio communications and surveillance. Since 2015 it has been operated by the University of Alaska Fairbanks.
The current working IRI was completed in 2007; its prime contractor was BAE Systems Advanced Technologies.[1] As of 2008, HAARP had incurred around $250 million in tax-funded construction and operating costs. In May 2014, it was announced that the HAARP program would be permanently shut down later in the year. After discussions between the parties, ownership of the facility was transferred to the University of Alaska Fairbanks in August 2015.
HAARP is a target of conspiracy theorists, who claim that it is capable of weather manipulation. Commentators and scientists say that advocates of this and other conspiracy theories are wrong, as claims made fall well outside the abilities of the facility, if not the scope of natural science.

I was aware of this project back in the 90s when Nick Begich wrote his book “Angels Don’t Play This HAARP”. He was a guest several times, if not often, on the 3 hour daily syndicated radio program of Chuck Harder – For the People, that was on over 300 stations, I was living in iPalm Springs, CA, and his ratings beat even Rush Limbaugh. And, of course, Nick was a several time guest with Art Bell. Us few million people, National News could care less about this project, of course. were quite worried about the ramifications to our atmosphere and Ionisphere, and that it may be a weather manipulation project as well. Nick’s father died in a mysterious plane crash from Anchorage to Juneau back in 1972 that has never been found and was a United States Congressman at that time. I see Nick’s son Nick Begich III just won his deceist Grandfathers lone Congressional seat in the U.S. Congress for Alaska.
Some have blamed this catastrophic hurricane Helene that devestated the Mountain famillied in GA, NC, TN to this HAARP project and did it on purpose. I seriouly doubt we have the ability to manipulate the magnitude of force that a Hurricane has.

I think it’s time to go back to the mountains, you know, rifle, shotgun, four wheel drive, horses chickens, livestock, ect….. pray for best and prepare for the worst!
