HAARP , aka the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program , lives out a quiet world in the midriff of the Alaskan wilderness . But for one reason or another , this ionospheric inquiry facility has become the favourite scratching berth for conspiracy theorists – attracting accusations of being a conditions - change superweapon , the force behindchemtrails , and even a mind - dominance machine .
The new management of HAARP – The University of Alaska Fairbanks – are n’t too happy with these claim . So this Saturday , they ’re give its doors andinviting the publicto semen visit the facility for loose . The open planetary house will include facility tours , a nomadic planetarium , a permafrost exhibit , science talks , and a barbecue .
“ We hope that mass will be able-bodied to see the actual skill of it , ” a spokesperson from the University of Alaska , who run HAARP , toldAlaska Dispatch News . “ We hope to show people that it is not capable of intellect control and not able of weather control and all the other thing it ’s been accused of . ”
HAARP ’s origination was fund by the US Air Force and the US Navy , although since 2013 it has been under control of the University of Alaska ’s Geophysics Institute . The readiness ’s master line is to research and measure the ionosphere of Earth ’s upmost standard atmosphere . Since this part of the upper atmosphere dally a big role in the transmittal of wireless signals and geophysical mental process , it has many scientific , civilian , and military applications .
Perhaps because of this tie to the military , the facility has had more than its fairish ploughshare of conspiracy theory . Here ’s some of the most popular and imaginative :
But if you ’re still diffident about the line of work of HAARP , point on down to Alaska and grab a hamburger with the scientists on Saturday . See herefor direction .
