U.S. Naval Research Laboratory research physicists and engineers from the Plasma Physics Division, working at the High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) transmitter facility, Gakona, Alaska, successfully produced a sustained high density plasma cloud in Earth's upper atmosphere.

"Previous artificial plasma density clouds have lifetimes of only ten minutes or less," said Paul Bernhardt, Ph.D., NRL Space Use and Plasma Section. "This higher density plasma 'ball' was sustained over one hour by the HAARP transmissions and was extinguished only after termination of the HAARP radio beam."

...

Using the 3.6-megawatt high-frequency (HF) HAARP transmitter, the plasma clouds, or balls of plasma, are being studied for use as artificial mirrors at altitudes 50 kilometers below the natural ionosphere and are to be used for reflection of HF radar and communications signals.

But I thought they only studied the Aurora  :-\. HMMMMMmmmmnnnn what else could they be doing there ?

What am I thinking ? Of coarse it's a harmless project . Giant plasma balls artificially produced 50km in the atmosphere with military purposes in mind is just a harmless little fun. I have no fear that they are going to by accident destroy the one thing that protects us from the sun. It is the United States God given right to play with the soul barrier of protection for 7 billion people on this planet. I think another experiment that would be fun to play is see what happens when you combine a plasma ball with a high altitude nuke  and a dog in a lead balloon . The dog would of coarse be breathing Antrax from a pressurized canister while the "stars and Stripes Forever "played  on a gramophone. Why  ? Who cares it's science for the sake of science right . Perhaps the dog would be cured of Antrax .

Paul Bernhardt you are the king of misinfo PR men . I bow to you spinelessness and soulless ways and hope that the money brings you comfort for all the lies you have told.

Aurora ...My Ass !

I wonder what Putin's thinking about this... that could be more worrysome :-\

Peace!
