SOUNDING ROCKETS AND “DUSTY PLASMA”
Hurricanes are arriving seasonally and then being broken up. Notice that all the typhoons and
hurricanes have been in the Pacific this year [2014]. As soon as Operation Deep Freeze and
Ascension Island are up and running, we’ll see the same thing in the Atlantic. It’s ongoing fine-
tuning and experimentation. They know it works, but the system has to be precise: the timing, the
magnetosphere ringing perfectly, which is why all the rocket firings from California are
happening. Vandenberg AFB has fired over 250 sounding rockets in 18 months to disperse
aluminum oxides in the upper atmosphere and space as part of the new Space Fence.
— Billy Hayes, “The HAARP Man,” 2014
Rockets have been blasting off from Earth for over half a century now, either delivering satellites
into orbit or providing thrust into space for landing modules and instruments of exploration, such
as the Proton-M rocket launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, carrying the
76
Trace Gas Orbiter that will analyze the composition of the Mars atmosphere —rockets with
state-of-the-art thrusters like the propellant-free EmDrive microwave thruster. 77
But sounding rockets are also being launched for suborbital experiments from launch pads at
Wallops Island, Virginia (37°51.456′N 75°30.594′W); Poker Flat Research Range
(65°06′56.16″N 147°26′56.58″W) Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida (28°29′20″N
80°34′40″W); and Vandenberg Air Force Base, Lompoc, California (34°43′57″N 120°34′05″W)
—rockets not regulated by the Clean Air Act of 1963 (amended in 1970, 1977, and 1990). What
the public is not told is that whatever the experiment, what is spewing from these rocket engines
—like that from jet engines and supplementary systems—is secretly formulated to beef up lower
atmosphere and ionospheric densities.
In 1972, physicist Wilmot N. Hess, director of the Environmental Research Laboratories of
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), announced the modification of the
near-earth space environment at a Society of Engineering Science conference in Tel Aviv:
In the last few years experimenters have artificially modified the space environment. We can now produce artificial
aurorae. We can change the population of the Van Allen radiation belt. We can artificially modify the ionosphere
from the ground, and our other ideas about artificial experiments for the future stretch as far as trying to copy the
78
sweeping action being carried on naturally by Jupiter’s moons . . .
From Jupiter’s moons to retro-engineering the rings of Saturn . . .
HAARP’s 1990 Executive Summary “Joint Services Program Plans and Activities” of the
U.S. Air Force Geophysics Laboratory and U.S. Navy Office of Naval Research stresses over
and over again the need for “chemical releases” for “space-based efforts,” with “particle beams
and accelerators aboard rockets (e.g., EXCEDE and CHARGE IV), and shuttle- or satellite-borne
RF transmitters (e.g., WISP and ACTIVE).” 79
The heart of the program will be the development of a unique ionospheric heating capability to conduct the pioneering
experiments required to adequately assess the potential for exploiting ionospheric enhancement technology for DOD
(Dept. of Defense) purposes. . .for investigating the creation, maintenance, and control of a large number and wide
variety of ionospheric processes that, if exploited, could provide significant operational capabilities and advantages
over conventional C3 systems. 80
