High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP)
The High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program, or HAARP, is a scientific endeavor aimed at studying the properties and behavior of the ionosphere.
Operation of the research facility was transferred from the United States Air Force to the University of Alaska Fairbanks on Aug. 11, 2015, allowing HAARP to continue with exploration of ionospheric phenomenology via a land-use cooperative research and development agreement.
HAARP is the world’s most capable high-power, high-frequency transmitter for study of the ionosphere. The HAARP program is committed to developing a world-class ionospheric research facility consisting of:
-
The Ionospheric Research Instrument, a high power transmitter facility operating in the High Frequency range. The IRI can be used to temporarily excite a limited area of the ionosphere for scientific study.
-
A sophisticated suite of scientific or diagnostic instruments that can 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 can also be used for a variety of continuing research efforts which do not involve the use of the IRI but are strictly passive. These 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.
Summer 2019 Update
After three successful open house events in 2016, 2017 and 2018, the HAARP Ionospheric and Radio Science Laboratory in Gakona, Alaska, will not be having an annual open house in 2019. We are optimistic we’ll be able to open the facility to the public again in 2020.
Here’s what we’re focusing on over the next few months:
Facility Improvements
We are revitalizing many of the research instruments on site and installing new project equipment. While the 33-acre Ionospheric Research Instrument gets most of the attention, HAARP also maintains a suite of equipment, sensors and cameras for both national and international researchers.
Planning for Sustainability
We’re continuing our work with University of Alaska leadership and our Alaska congressional delegation to develop policy language and funding models that will sustain the research facility well into the future. To further discussions at a national level, a HAARP Summit was conducted at the Woodrow Wilson Center in Washington, DC, in April 2019, which resulted in strong support from the research community. HAARP was also included in the United States Arctic Research Commission Goals and Objectives For Arctic Research Report for 2019-2020.
Community Support and Engagement
While we won’t be putting on an open house this year, we’re continuing to look for ways to bring HAARP research to the public. You’ll find a network of #UAFHAARP supporters on social media. Follow real-time developments with us on Twitter @UAFHAARP and @UAFGI and our Facebook pages. We encourage you to share the social media posts with your network so we can extend the conversation with a broader range of Alaskans and research stakeholders.
Thank you for your continued support. For further questions, please email [email protected] or call 907-474-1100.

I’m rather surprised the comments section here is not full of ‘weather modification’ claims.

You can easily find a declassified Senate document from the 60s or 70s proving the existence of such programs online. Or the list of over 100 patents held by the USG pertaining to such programs. Or you can just preemptively insult a group of people for no good reason and keep your head in the sand.

Excuse me? I think you will find I have not insulted anyone, and I take exception to such suggestions.

HAARP is capable of ionosphere heating, allowing manipulate of jet stream currents and weather patterns. A probable reason for transferring this outdated technology is the deployment of a more forceful 5G satellite system. NWO frontman, Elon Musk and his Space X, are launching 42,000 Starlink 5G satellites in 550 km high orbit. These 3 k-watt death Ray’s may be used for communication, triangulated on a target for RF mischief, or directed at clouds to give greater weather control. If you trust that anything done by governmentsor monopolies is benign, you are naive.

Elon Musk and the NWO??? I guess you have a lot of stock in foil clothing.

And looks like you own a lot of stock in over used and lame insults
