HAARP
The late Carl Sagan said (in connection with this documentary): We have created a global civilization, the most important elements of which are deeply dependent on science and technology.
We also arrange things in a way that hardly anyone understands science or technology. We may get away with it for a while, but sooner or later this flammable mixture of ignorance and power explodes in our faces. The documentary asks the question: are we digging holes in the sky?
HAARP (High-Frequency Active Auroral Research Program) is a controversial radio frequency transmitter or “ionospheric heater” believed to be derived from the work of Nikola Tesla, developed by the U.S. Navy/Air Force and located in remote Gaco, Alaska Operated by Phillips Laboratories in Nasdaq.
With HAARP, the military can focus gigawatts of pulsed radio beams into our upper atmosphere, ostensibly for ionospheric research. This process generates extremely low-frequency waves and sends them back to Earth, improving communications with submarines and allowing us to “see” the interior of the planet, seeing everything from oil reserves to underground missile silos.
However, some researchers claim that HAARP would pose several dangers, including blasting a 30-mile hole in Earth’s upper atmosphere. They also warn us of possible disruptions to the subtle magnetic energies of the Earth and ourselves. Hole in the sky? is a prime example of grassroots filmmaking from producer Paula Randol-Smith and Emmy Award-winning director Wendy Robbins. Narrated by Martin Sheen, this documentary explores HAARP, its history and impact, and examines the dangers and benefits of high and low frequency and electromagnetic technologies.
As of 2008, HAARP (High-Frequency Active Auroral Research Program)had incurred around $250 million in tax-funded construction and operating costs. In May 2014, it was announced that the HAARP program would be permanently shut down later in the year.
