High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) is a research program that was conducted by the United States military from 1993 to 2014. Its purpose was to study the ionosphere, a region of the Earth’s upper atmosphere where charged particles interact with the Earth’s magnetic field. Despite the program’s scientific objectives, it has been the subject of numerous conspiracy theories alleging that it was used for weather manipulation, mind control, and other nefarious purposes.
In this article, we will examine the science behind HAARP, debunk the conspiracy theories surrounding it, and explore the implications of its research for our understanding of the Earth’s atmosphere.
