I hear you.  On first look it seems sci fi.  But my reply is,  "Do u think that David Walker, Deputy Assistant Secretary for the Air Force Science, Technology and Engineering lied to Congresswoman Murkowski when he said that HAARP was now being phased out at a particular location in favor of newer ways of doing what HAARP did?  She had inquired if HAARP was still funded. Or you think the S of Defense lied when he said that Eco Terrorists were using elctromagnetic waves to alter the climate, set off volcanoes and hurricanes.  I have only investigated this for at most about an hour and found this and much more.    Here's walker's full comment responding to Lisa Murkowski in relation to the dismantling of the $300 million High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program in Gakona this summer: Walker said this is “not an area that we have any need for in the future” and it would not be a good use of Air Force research funds to keep HAARP going. “We’re moving on to other ways of managing the ionosphere, which the HAARP was really designed to do,” he said. “To inject energy into the ionosphere to be able to actually control it. But that work has been completed.”
