HAARP is an HF (High Frequency) generator. It generates frequency's directly above the AM band and below the VHF (Very High Frequency) or TV band. It will zap the Ionosphere which is between 40 and 600 miles above the earth's surface. The ionosphere helps to shield out electromagnetic waves from space that are harmful to life on earth. There are other ionospheric heaters located throughout the world. This specific one differs though from the others in that it concentrates all the energy on one specific spot.

This causes a wide beam to focus in on a small area like when you use a piece of glass to start a fire. The others start as a small beam and grows into a bigger area causing the amount of the beam to hit an area to be weaker than w

Weather can be controlled by HAARP also. This is done by raising or lowering the pressure in a certain area. The jet stream can also be manipulated to take an instructed route. Both of these procedures can cause certain areas to have more clouds or rain or wind and so on.

There is a large amount of backlash against HAARP. This is extremely so in Alaska. The best known group is NO HAARP. People are scared that this could superheat the ionosphere. The other ionospheric heaters, which the military always compares HAARP to, are only a fraction of the size of HAARP. The possible consequences of HAARP are extremely frightening. The ionosphere protects us at the moment from electromagnetic wave from outer space. All the animals on earth would be greatly harmed by the massive amount of electromagnetic waves. The military claims that it is safe to heat the ionosphere to the levels that it will be heated to. There is not much evidence to support either side though.

Many of HAARP's functions are geared to the military. The ability to send electromagnetic waves down to the depth's of the ocean could help to setup a worldwide system of communication with submarines. This would allow submarines to stay at great depths without having to ascend and risk giving away their position when communicating. Another possibility is the defense of a nation's airspace by causing the atmosphere to group up in certain areas and increase the drag for non-guided missiles. This causes their speed to be affected by the friction increase. The missile will then possibly fall short of it's target or run out of fuel. A defense against guided missiles is to bombard it with large amounts of energy of different frequencies. This can cause the missile to become disoriented and can't distinguish between which signal is the correct one. This effect can also be used on air planes. It can cause the instruments and electronics to become corrupted. They also can become
