HAARP

HAARP (High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program) is a scientific facility in Alaska designed to study the Earth's ionosphere—the layer of charged particles in the atmosphere that affects radio communications and GPS signals. It uses powerful radio transmitters to send signals into the ionosphere, creating small, controlled disturbances. These experiments help scientists understand how the ionosphere behaves and impact technological systems. While sometimes linked to conspiracy theories, HAARP's primary purpose is to advance atmospheric science and improve communication and navigation technologies.
