HAARP-Website offline (Navy renegotiating management contract)

Senior Member.
Anybody noticed, that the official HAARP-Website http://www.haarp.alaska.edu/haarp/index.html seems to be offline since a week?

There´s a copy of the site in the "Internet Archive":
http://web.archive.org/web/20130531040626/http://www.haarp.alaska.edu/haarp/index.html

Only GodlikeProdutions has a small thread about it (with the wrong conclusion that they moved to the faked "Haarp-Status" at theweatherspace.com)

http://www.godlikeproductions.com/forum1/message2268857/pg1

Does anybody has some facts about?!

EDIT BY MICK: Answered in post below:
I went to the University of Alaska's GeoData Center to see if there was data from any of the instruments at the HAARP facility. At the top of the Magnetometer page is the following message:

The Gakona station went off-line at hour 23:48 UTC June 13 and will remain unavailable for an unknown duration.

So I did what seems logical to me and wrote to the contact email and asked why the Gakona station was off-line. Here's the answer:

Tim,
The Navy Office of Naval Research has overseen all previous HAARP management contracts, but has now decided to pull out of this role. So all the instruments have been turned off while a new contract is negotiated. Nobody seems to know how long this might tack(sic).

Thanks,

I redacted the name because of the tendency of some conspiracy theorists to harass people.

So basically they "pulled the plug" until this management issue is resolved. The irony is that the "notorious" Office of Naval Research is no longer willing to oversee management of a facility that is allegedly a secretive super powerful weather/earthquake/mind control/etc. weapon. :)
 
I suspect its simply broken. Looking at the first version of the web page from 1997 it seems the site has pretty much been the same (just increasing in size) for 16 years. This means that it was probably running off a PC somewhere, or at least had a rather idiosyncratic hand-coded setup. Unfortunately the contact email looks like it's on the same server.
 
The Haarp-facility seems not to be the busiest place in the world :)

Visitors awing at the magnificent site of the 180 antenna arrays which are operated based on the interest and support from the agencies sponsoring the research. Prior to 2003, the array was operated four to six, 10-day campaigns per year. Since 2007, the number has increased to about 12 per year.

And this

The unclassified site is surrounded by woods within 5000 acres located 200 miles west of Anchorage and eight miles from the town of Gakona, Alaska. During the Open House AFRL and Naval staff members are available to answer questions and provide a hands-on view of the site.

I have noticed HAARP has gone offline. But I actually need to contact them for a feature documentary that I am making. I need to actually rule them out of the cause of a 'hum' coming from a manmade island called 'Zug' between Detroit, MI and Windsor, ON. I had previously tried contacting them for the last 6 months, then recently tried again (as I am now in full production). They should at least have a media contact person to talk to, but now they don't even have a site. I am very suspicious of this, and the lack of communication. They are suppose to be transparent and open to communication. I may just have to fly to Alaska, and then drive there. They could just be lazy, and understaffed, or possibly over worked.

I need them to say that they are not on Zug Island basically, and then I need them to tell me what they do in a nutshell. Very simple and easy stuff...I don't want to go down the conspiracy road for 'hums' ...it's something I need to rule out officially though. Any help would be appreciated.

Did you try calling them?
(907) 822-5497

Frankly though, the idea that they might be on Zug island strikes me as rather improbable. The island is just too small. Here's the HAARP antenna array overlaid for size:


And there's detailed aerial photos of every sqaure foot of the island. There's nowhere to hide an antenna array:

I agree, and actually this is a good point you made on the size. I have not tried to call, but I will ! Thanks
 
oh yeah..that number does not exist by the way.. kinda makes you wonder where they went. One more point is that the map of Zug may not be current. I might rent a plane or chopper to fly over Zug Island...but the antena array could only fit in one spot anyway. The other thing I have noticed is that it would not work well at that latitude (Zugs location). They need the arctic to opperate in the ionosphere properly
 
I think basically HAARP's web site was just very out of date (hence the old phone number), and just died. They are not really super active, so nobody is in charge of fixing it.

If you use Google Earth, it tells you the date of the imagery. The most up to date image is from 6/21/2011


it's pretty much unchanged for the last 10 years.


But I see the Windsor hum started around 2011 by most accounts.

I think the Google maps 45 degree imagery is newer. And Bing maps 45 degree is from 2012

The High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) — a subject of fascination for many hams and the target of conspiracy theorists and anti-government activists — has closed down. HAARP’s program manager, Dr James Keeney at Kirtland Air Force Base in New Mexico, told ARRL that the sprawling 35-acre ionospheric research facility in remote Gakona, Alaska, has been shuttered since early May.

“Currently the site is abandoned,” he said. “It comes down to money. We don’t have any.” Keeney said no one is on site, access roads are blocked, buildings are chained and the power turned off. HAARP’s website through the University of Alaska no longer is available; Keeney said the program can’t afford to pay for the service. “Everything is in secure mode,” he said, adding that it will stay that way at least for another 4 to 6 weeks. In the meantime a new prime contractor will be coming on board to run the government owned-contractor operated (GOCO) facility.

HAARP put the world on notice two years ago that it would be shutting down and did not submit a budget request for FY 15, Keeney said, “but no one paid any attention.” Now, he says, they’re complaining. “People came unglued,” Keeney said, noting that he’s already had inquiries from Congress. Universities that depended upon HAARP research grants also are upset, he said.

The only bright spot on HAARP’s horizon right now is that the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is expected on site as a client to finish up some research this fall and winter. DARPA has nearly $8.8 million in its FY 14 budget plan to research “physical aspects of natural phenomena such as magnetospheric sub-storms, fire, lightning and geo-physical phenomena.”

The proximate cause of HAARP’s early May shutdown was less fiscal than environmental, Keeney said. As he explained it, the diesel generators on site no longer pass Clean Air Act muster. Repairing them to meet EPA standards will run $800,000. Beyond that, he said, it costs $300,000 a month just to keep the facility open and $500,000 to run it at full capacity for 10 days.

It doesn't matter to those people, they can still see radar anomalies and such so they KNOW that HAARP is still up and running. And Jim has mapped out other "sky heaters" on his fear porn site so if HAARP is down there's always EISCAT et al. To the true believers, the news that it's shut down is just a BS cover story for even bigger and badder nefarious activity. They're on a mission and they will not be deterred by such things as mere facts. On the other side of that coin, there are others who are convinced that it's nexrad stations what are controlling the weather so HAARP is pretty much unnecessary within that scenario.

In the following vid (which Michael Janitch is promoting btw) from one of the "rat pack", they claim that the HAARP facility is not shut down because DARPA has a budget for research to be conducted at the HAARP facility this year. What they overlook is the fact that those experiments are scheduled for the fall and winter. Then again, they ignore most real science in favor of their own brand of pseudo-science.



More of the same...

And Dutch just LOOVEESSS that screen capture of the Dover AFB "across the spectrum pulse" that was debunked here

He keeps using it over and over again, as if to say "see, see, I captured this in late June, no way is HAARP down".

Kevin Martin of TheWeatherSpace.com claims he has signed a one-year contract with HAARP and currently has it back up and running.

Unless he has the money to keep it running per year (to the tune of several million dollars), this is clear BS.

Does anyone in the conspiracy world ever completely read and or full understand what they are reading? I guess it's just easier to cherry pick what you need out of any particular article, then shoehorn that into said conspiracy, and all of your followers will buy into it, sight unseen, without their own research or fact finding.

Now Dutchsinse, on his Facebook page, is quoting some 8 year old noise study as "proof" the HAARP facility only has a single diesel generator; which, in his mind, means any of the recent reports of the facility shutdown in part because of expensive generator repairs and environmental violations MUST be fabricated.

Except....in the same report he is quoting...it also mentions the future expansion to 5 diesel generators and that "The purpose of this study is to characterize the power plant noise levels, estimate the sound levels emitted from the power plant when all five engines are operating, and compare those estimated sound levels against applicable regulations."

haarp doc 7-18-13.JPG

He also links to another article published in Popular Science in 1995. In it, Dutchsinse seems to find evidence that HAARP runs on natural gas turbines, once again establishing proof the recent statements about HAARP's demise are fabricated. Except the article states:

" Eastlund worked under contract for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (now called ARPA) and was awarded three patents one of which was classified until 1991 for inventions dealing with ionospheric modification. One of the most grandiose systems described in his patents is a 40-mile square, HAARP-like radio transmitter that would have used huge amounts of electric power generated by turbines burning natural gas drawn from the vast North Slope reserves. "

This second article also goes on to mention the existence of multiple diesel generators:

"HAARP's power output nearly twice that of any other ionospheric heater combined with the rapid beam-steering ability and broad frequency range of its transmitter, will permit the IRI to modify higher-altitude areas of the ionosphere from greater distances than ever. A bank of six 2.5megawatt, 3,600-horsepower diesel generators powers the IRI prototype, while the rest of the facility taps electricity from a nearby power line."
 
Now Michael Janitch and company have added the fact that DARPA plans on conducting some experiments at the HAARP facility in the fall/winter of 2013 and that there are a couple of research grants awarded that have end dates past the time that HAARP was shut down. One of his cohorts, tatoott1009, even called the ARRL (Amateur Radio Relay League) to harass them over an article on their website about HAARP closing because no author was listed for the article, which he finds suspicious. Michael and his cohorts think they've debunked a "hoax". They're even worse at debunking than they are at interpreting radar data. Of course they ignore the statements that mention it's likely just a temporary situation until a new prime contractor comes on board within the next month or so. He calls the Alaska Dispatch a "HAARP skeptic site" when it's just an online news outlet covering many categories of news in Alaska.

Michael states on his blog that there are Air Force and DoD experiments taking place right now. He thinks that because the AF or DoD are funding grants that they're also conducting the research when in fact the research is being conducted by the University of Alaska. Just because a research grant is valid past the date that HAARP was shut down, it doesn't mean the facility is currently in use. They could have conducted the experiments before the facility shut down and would then spend the rest of the grant period analyzing the data and writing a paper or they might simply be analyzing data collected from other experiments conducted over previous years. Michael Janitch and company obviously know nothing about the process of scientific research and experimentation, or the grants that fund them. Data collected over the course of a few days might take a year or more to fully analyze and research grants cover funding for the entire process from start to finish. I mentioned Michael's nonsense about grants and such to my GF, who is a botanist and intimately familiar with research grants, and with a disgusted look on her face said "those people are freakin' stupid". My sentiments exactly.

They probably don't care to know, either.

He is a fear-monger who derives some income directly from contributions from his followers.

At one point he was hyping every severe weather event saying that weather radars created storms and were killing people. Turned out he was working for a builder of storm shelters and promoting their products.

A targeted microwave beam is what temperature ... in kelvin please. ( I already know but want you to go find out for the group here.

I'll give you a hint... its about 1000K

What? That's totally nonsensical. I wonder from where he pulled that out of context, other than from out his backside? Noise temperature, transmitter operating temperature, or any one of a thousand other technical details he knows nothing about? In the process of trying to show off to his flock, he just exposes his total and utter ignorance of the subject matter, well pretty much any subject really.

I had to troll Dutch on a couple of different videos to finally get his explanation for this claim. I received this in my YouTube Inbox, He's removed my comment and his from the comment section, and I'm now blocked from his channel. Darn, now I have to wait for his next "running of the trolls" to have fun with him, again.

Side note, the end of the comment Dutch accuses me of being a conspiratard. On this site, we've been accused often, of not believing in any conspiracies. Michael Janitch (aka Dutchsinse). Jim Lee (aka rezn8d), and Tatoott1009 (sorry, don't know him) is a conspiracy of disinformation that I believe is actually in progress. J'accuse, Dutchinse.

Right on. I figured out a couple of days ago where Dutch got that 1000 K microwave beam temperature from. He made that comment a day or two after his buddy tatoott1009 posted an article on his "Tat's Revolution" blog. I was waiting for him to reveal where he got it from before posting it myself.

http://tatoott1009.com/2013/07/14/h...ing-to-occur-elevating-temperatures-to-1700f/

The article on Tat's site is basically just a copy-paste of a scientific report on the environmental impacts of space based solar power and the effect of high energy microwave transmissions through the ionosphere. There are several references to temperatures at or near 1000 K but they all relate to temperatures of electrons and neutrals in the ionosphere. For example:

Thus, at a microwave frequency of 2.48 GHz, with a typical neutral temperature of 1000 K at 200 km in the atmosphere, PT is 460 W m-2. This means that an SPS system with P = 100 W m-2 would cause an electron temperature increase of 217 K.
[..]
Perkins and Roble (1978) estimated electron temperature increases of up to 1000 K with a power flux of 500 W m-2 and an operating frequency of 3 GHz.

Michael's "One example from the document" is not even in the document, that's just his interpretation of the above examples and the following:

Thus, using the example above i.e. a microwave frequency of 2.48 GHz, with a typical neutral temperature of 1000 K at 200 km in the atmosphere and with P = 100 W m-2, which causes an electron temperature increase of 217 K, then the electron density would increase locally by close to 10%.
Content from External Source
http://www.esa.int/gsp/ACT/doc/ARI/...nmental_impacts_of microwave_beams-Report.pdf

Michael Janitch's comprehension of that paper is 0 K. (That's zero Kelvin, as in absolute zero.)

There is no such thing as the "temperature" of a microwave beam itself and not all microwave beams are transmitted at the same power or frequency anyway.

So in a comprehensive report on the environmental impacts of powerful microwave beams, nowhere does it mention anything at all about microwaves affecting weather in the troposphere. That would seem like a glaring refutation to the claim that microwaves can produce tornadoes or any other kind of weather phenomenon.

Perhaps the comments relating to the whole 1000 K microwave beam thing should go into a new thread?
