HAARP AND SOME OF ITS USES

Wave clouds have not been seen for a while. Could this be part of the HAARP project?

HAARP AND SOME OF ITS USES

HAARP, or High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program has been around for many years. Has it been found to create beneficial weather effects in regional areas? This writer says yes, it may. Also, it can and has been used by nations to adversely affect weather patterns in other regions of earth. Some wild theories abound and one is that it is a mind control device. So stated Jesse Ventura, Governor of Minnesota, at the time.

Originally, the H.A.A.R.P. project that began in Alaska, and it was a military project. Reports came in that its amplifications were ‘frying’ the motors of wind turbines near Ridgecrest, California. They were generating electricity for sale to electric company grids, there.

Under the guise of being an educational project, it has remained there until this day. The Geophysical Institute at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks, owns it now. However, recent reports indicate it may be closed down soon.

This author’s educated opinion is that it may have served its purpose in the evolution of exact science research. Or, has it? The United States Air Force transferred HAARP over to the university in August of 2015.

HAARP IN THE FUTURE

Who knows where this will lead? From a military inception to an educational, college-based dogma of application, it will reveal itself over time. Whether, what is exact science, military classified applications, or a matter of public scrutiny, one may not know until it is to be revealed one day. Please, don’t hold your breath. Pun intended.

What this writer has discovered over the years is most interesting. From the past to the future is where we go from here.

og: HAARP — Viewed over a few hour period, the HAARP project from Alaska could be in play.

Remember, the earth’s atmosphere is only a breathable 3 miles up from the surface. From 20,000 feet, the atmosphere height averages 7.5 miles; 39,000 feet (12 km). The range of heights are around 5.6 miles; 30,000 feet at the geographic poles (9 km) to 11 miles; 56,000 feet (17 km) at the equator. The heights can vary due to weather changes.

HAARP and its future of ionosphere research perhaps other applications are not going away any time soon. Further, discoveries may be found to positively affect weather patterns, thus improving the human condition.

ATMOSPHERE INFORMATION FROM SURFACE TO ABOVE EARTH

First of all, let us understand the various layers of the atmosphere (stratiphication): 1) Troposphere, ground up to 7 miles (0-12 km). 2) Stratosphere, 7 to 31 miles (50-80 km). 3) Mesosphere, 31 to 50 miles (50-80 km). 4) Thermosphere, 50 to 440 miles (80-700 km). 5) Exosphere, 440-6,200 miles (700-10,000 km). The ionosphere (consisting of electrically charged, [ionized] gas particles) is located in the thermosphere at 37 to 190 miles (60-300 km). Jet streams occur in the ionosphere.

For example, the International Space Station orbits in the exosphere at 254 miles (409 km). This is considered the outermost part of earth’s atmosphere, which is a micro-gravity environment. Therefore, the space station must make occasional thruster boost upward to maintain orbit. Also, it increases its altitude at times to receive manned and supply ship deliveries.

HAARP INFORMATION AND IMAGES

The HAARP (High Frequency Active Auroral Research Project) was established in 1993. As mentioned, the United States Air Force and U.S. Navy managed the project. Also, DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects) were involved. And, BAE Advanced Technologies built the HAARP facility.

Consequently, it is no small wonder how and why so many conspiracy theories have abounded over the years while noting the big name military and research organizations that are involved. One book written in 1995 covers many aspects and theories considered regarding the HAARP project. This image is from the author’s library. Here is a link to the book that was provided in 1997.

The following is an image from a search regarding atmospheric patterns created by the project:

We have more to learn from both theories, as well as, from official sources. Ultimately, it is up to the reader to decide from what is written with links provided what is true. Who may determine what is true or not with so much disinformation thrown about.

WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?

What can one decide from experiments, as well as, where atmospheric science is applied? Again, what is the truth and what is not? Comments and queries are most welcome. Others who wish to do so may shed more light on what is written here.

In sum, it is this author’s opinion that it may be possible to move jet streams further south to temper warmer climates. Reports of possible rain in late May could occur. It didn’t, but temperatures did lower, dramatically. So, can the HAARP project be an experiment for good, too? Who knows? But, we did observe this for the first time in sky-gazing in this area for over 20 years.

CONTRAILS OVER CENTRAL CALIFORNIA

This contrail image was taken towards the west on Saturday, January 11th. The atmospheric view extends from central California to the coastal area of the Pacific Ocean.

Contrails over central California are quite common. But, during certain times of the year they are not. This is one of those times. On occasion they seem a bit more numerous, but it is due to atmospheric conditions, by and large. This article identifies a certain anomaly that was out of the norm for a location this author has observed for almost 30 years.

CONTRAILS ARE NOT CHEM-TRAILS

Sorry to disappoint conspiracy theorists, but what you are about to read is resultant from hours of objective, concise research. In fact, this has been a past-tense interest from even the research of those famous individuals such as Jim Marrs.

We experienced an incredible aerial situation in the afternoon of January 11, 2020. There were an incredible number of contrails in our sky on Saturday. This author checked air traffic reports and this day was not consistent with such events during a normal day during this time.

SUDDEN RAIN IN FIVE DAYS AFTER CONTRAILS

og: weather — This is a daily calendar of weather activity courtesy of weather .com, in our locale. The day of the rain deluge came suddenly Thursday afternoon, January 16th.

The source of the above report came from weather.com. It indicated a sunny forecast. But, we received less than twelve hours notice that any rain was coming. During the early afternoon of this past Thursday, January 16th, there was no thunder. There was a gentle rain with subsequent wind gusts of up to 60 mph. We got over four-tenths of an inch of rain in just two hours.

Since the occurrence of the contrails no more have been observed.

IMAGE GALLERY TO THE WEST

What kind of aircraft have been observed? Well, central California is humorously called, ‘fly-over’ country. The occasional contrails usually observed are from commercial jetliners carrying passengers. From points north and south, contrails follow a longitudinal pathway in both directions.

A closeup of the numerous contrails viewed Saturday, January 11, 2020, from central California.

A visual look towards the west of the incredible number of contrails that occurred over a few hours on Saturday.

This contrail image was taken towards the west on Saturday, January 11th. The atmospheric view extends from central California to the coastal area of the Pacific Ocean.

Military air traffic was considered. On rare occasion, there is such traffic. But, the contrails observed are usually circular or curved during training flights. There is a naval air base located fifty miles to the west. There was nothing scheduled for this day. Further, the last air show occurred in late 2019.

IMAGE GALLERY OVERHEAD

The following images were taken from overhead. Some were close up images.

This image close up view just above to the near west sky shows numerous north-south contrails; some crossing each other.

A more close up view of contrails.

Another closeup of overhead contrails occurring over a two-hour period of time on January 11, 2020.

Yes, contrails have been observed overhead, on occasion. Certain times of the year they are more commonly seen than at other times. When the overall humidity is very low, planes and jets can fly over the valley without being noticed. Still, almost all the images were in a north-south position. Some contrails had some crisscross patterns.

THE B-47 STRATOJET

Since it is becoming better known of the long history of cloud seeding to help bring rain to arid areas of earth, this author will skip that lesson. Being more interested in what is presently considered as most useful to seed silver iodide and other chemicals (such as calcium chloride, dry ice, and other salts) in such regions, the B-47 has been in the news.

This is the image viewed from the seeding article not found. It must have been retracted. The XB-47 is utilizing rocket assist to takeoff.

A view of the XB-47 in flight. This jet had its first test flight in 1948 for cloud and atmospheric research; not combat.

Here is an image of a B-47 on a tarmac. It was designated for atmospheric research, not combat.

This is a B-47 on display at an air museum.

I failed to find a particular article that peaked my interest about this subject just a few days before this rain event occurred. However, it showed a B-47 flying with smoke trailing behind the craft. But, after more digging it was discovered the aircraft pictured was only taking off with rocket-assisted engines.

STRATOJET USED FOR CLOUD SEEDING

What was most interesting to find was the B-47 was never outfitted with gunnery. Its primary purpose was for atmospheric research. After its first test flights in 1948, it was used for meteorological studies of clouds. But, after more reading, it seems it is going to engage in cloud-seeding to create rain.

Hence, this is my supposition that we observed an actual rain event due to a purposeful seeding of the atmosphere right here in California. Frankly, it is a logical assumption. It is also well-founded to attempt to bring more rain where it is most needed. California farms food for 1/3 of this nation, as well as, for other nations, too.

There are tests with other aircraft being used in Australia. As many may know, the country is enduring a serious drought situation.

THE UNITED ARAB EMIRATES

In a recent article, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) were conducting cloud seeding activity. Suddenly, a three-day deluge of rain drenched them. Subsequently, Iran blamed the UAE for causing flooding rains in their country. With the political climate the way it is in the world right now, I find it a bit humorous, but they were seeding at the time.

Here is the article: https://www.thenational.ae/uae/environment/enough-rumours-cloud-seeding-had-nothing-to-do-with-uae-s-three-day-rain-storm-1.963753

SUMMARY OF CONTRAILS

With all the above being stated, this author wants to stress that how the rain event occurred was not logical. Where we live in central California, weather reports are quite accurate and usually have a 3-day or more window to alert us. This was not the case. Again, what prompted my interest was an article to which I did not pay much attention. It simply claimed cloud seeding would be underway very soon. Then, we all saw the unusual contrails.

Was this a coincidence? Perhaps. But, once a bit of research started about what and how all this fits, there was a common denominator here. Frankly, it is only logical to help in any way possible to have more rainfall where we live. And, it was not a state-wide event.

In summation, your thoughts are most welcome. It may have been a coincidence, but…

ALGAE, AIR, FOOD AND SPACE LIFE STUDIES

Algae, air, food, and space-faring life studies are underway aboard the International Space Station.

Today, Expedition 56 crewmates balanced work on science investigations in between housekeeping duties aboard the International Space Station.

The crew retrieved samplers as part of the Aerosol Sampling Experiment that had been deployed the day before in Nodes 1 and 3. After connecting them to chargers, they were redeployed for a second round of sampling. The battery-powered samplers pull in air and collect particles through thermophoresis, a process in which different particle types exhibit different responses to the force of a temperature gradient. The collected cabin air particles are later returned to Earth so investigators can study them with powerful microscopes.

og: algae — Science studies on air quality, algae, food, and other research continues aboard the International Space Station.

The Veggie facility amped up production with an additional six space algae culture bags installed by the astronauts for future studies. The Space Algae investigation will further NASA’s understanding of how plants respond and grow in spaceflight using state-of-the-art omics approaches. Algae may perceive microgravity as a physical stress, which can trigger the production of high-value compounds. Scientists plan to sequence whole genomes of the space-grown algal populations to identify genes related to growth in spaceflight and evaluate how their composition changes in low-Earth orbit.

In addition, the crew continued the organization, packing and loading of items slated for return on SpaceX’s Dragon early next month.

Space enthusiasts should tune in to NASA Television this week as the Saint Louis Science Center and NASA’s Stennis Space Center each host educational downlinks as part of NASA’s Year of Education on Station. The Earth-to-space call with the Saint Louis Science Center happens July 18 at 12:20 p.m. EDT and will include summer campers ranging from Kindergarten to 12th grade. Second to 10th graders participating in ASTRO CAMPs in Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana and Texas will get their turn to engage with station residents about living and working in microgravity the following day, July 19, at 11:30 a.m. with Stennis hosting. Watch the events unfold live on NASA TV or the agency’s website.

STRIPE CLOUD CROSSES EARTH

Google Earth View of Stripe Cloud

Stripe cloud formation crossed the earth from the north to south polar regions over a three-day period of time. It was noticed on Google Earth, hence the featured image from MrBB333 who created a YouTube video after being contacted from a witness who sent him four videos depicting the defined cloud-line phenomena.

Universal Digest was alerted from a friend and contributor, Terri Wong, who posted in the California Digest Facebook group. I sent a response to MrBB333 because of the objective views he took to build evidence that this ‘fixed’ climatic event occurred over a three-day period with witnesses involved (Please see the YouTube responses). I have since contacted a friend and fellow researcher, Dennis, in the Netherlands. He corroborates the other witnesses claims of what he called a ‘weird’ phenomena in the sky that lasted for the day. Further, some responses to the YouTube video stated they, too, observed the strange strip cloud overhead that stretched from one horizon north to the horizon south, as well. One response from a witness claimed to live in southern California, USA.

og: stripe — Stripe Cloud YouTube Video courtesy MrBB333. This is well done and objective.

As MrBB333 claimed, Google Earth claims this was just a processing glitch. I have seen similar glitches in the past while viewing Google Maps and Google Earth; however, it has not been anything quite like this.

Here is the YouTube video. Again, I consider this to be a fair and objective determination that this stripe cloud formation was certainly fixed and not affected from other cloud formations above and below this phenomena. Please view the evidence produced illustrating the stripe cloud being viewed from the International Space Station, as well as, being viewed from the ground.

UFO Sightings Hotspot wrote an article on this observations. Click their link here to view their input and what the Netherlands witness had stated. For public information, I have copied the responses in a caption below.

The witness who submitted the footage to MrMB333 writes:

“Just to share a really strange cloud line in the sky above the Netherlands I’ve spotted on February 20, 2018.”

“Some strange straight lined cloud formation, quite wide and reaching beyond the vanishing point of my eyes.”

“The cloud line seems to be of a different kind of cloud material then the other clouds around and behind it.”

To reiterate, Dennis, who also lives in the Netherlands reported to me pretty much the same detail of the event. He didn’t take any videos or pictures, but does validate it is what he saw, too.

As the saying goes: Sometimes facts are stranger than fiction.

PS: After publishing this article, some continued interaction occurred with some physics friends. I propose this theory due to recent climatic changes in California. What if the polar-to-polar stripe cloud that crossed the earth for three days (February 19-22) was of technical origination? I contend the human mind is almost limitless in what it can imagine, conceive, and create. Whether we got help from those from ‘other’ places or not, this seems to be a benevolent situation. California is now receiving (from a reported-almost stagnant weather front) rain and cooler weather that is due to last the entire week. It is just a theory. Anyone who cares to comment below are most welcome to do so.
