HAARP Ionospheric Research Program Set To Continue
cylonlover writes "Reports that the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) had been shut down permanently were apparently a bit premature. According to HAARP program manager James Keeney, the facility is only temporarily off the air while operating contractors are changed. So why does anyone care? Despite being associated with various natural disasters over the past two decades by the conspiracy fringe, HAARP is in reality a facility for studying the ionosphere. Gizmag takes a look at the goings on at HAARP – past, present, and future."
We're actually in contact with alien species and they're assisting us avoid detection from more hostile species that consume resources of habitable words like us.
The changes HAARP initiates in the ionosphere, although not affecting us on the planet or anything overall in the near distance, planetary detection systems that have the ability to detect atmospheres to a limited degree are thrown off, making the assumption that this is not a water world with a perfect (life sustaining) temperature.
Naturally you can still tell by nearby areas like our solar system etc, but once you get a few thousand light years out we don't look so welcoming.
I'd insert comment about a specific alien overlord at this time but I don't want his followers..or...people who are against him or whatever "targeting" me but uh, yea, we're nice and safe from that dude now!
