HAARP

HAARP the once secret project of US is no longer a secret…
There are many wild imagination about this project..

Like this technology can
• Disrupt human mental processes.
• Jam all global communications systems.
• Change weather patterns over large areas.
• Interfere with wildlife migration patterns.
• Negatively affect your health.
• Unnaturally impact the Earth's upper atmosphere.

According to History channel’s research some of them can be true like the jamming of communication system over a particular region could be possible by this method and migration patterns can also be affected and weather can also be tampered with.. but the present size of the project is not a threat of any kind…

So what actually is this HAARP..

HAARP stands for High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program…
The project site is near Gakona, Alaska (lat. 62.39ƒ N, long 145.15 W), just West of the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park. An environmental impact statement led to permission for an array of up to 180 antennas to be erected. So no worries if the antennas are only 180…

The Ionospheric Research Instrument (IRI) is the primary instrument at HAARP, which is a high-frequency (HF) transmitter system used to temporarily modify the ionosphere. Yes this system works by altering the physical conditions of ionosphere.. we know that ionosphere reflects radio waves, so also absorbs some, so there is a small change in the ionosphere activities.. scientists believe that this change is very small only about some 100th of the solar radiation activity… and is very much equivalent to the variation of the sun’s own radiation… so according to the sources, if HAARP can do any harm, then sun’s natural radiation variation can do more harm…..

Study of this modified volume yields important information for understanding natural ionospheric processes.During active ionospheric research, the signal generated by the transmitter system is delivered to the antenna array, transmitted in an upward direction, and is partially absorbed, at an altitude between 100 to 350 km (depending on operating frequency), in a small volume a few hundred meters thick and a few tens of kilometers in diameter over the site.

The small effects that are produced, however, can be observed with the sensitive scientific instruments installed at the HAARP facility and these observations can provide new information about the dynamics of plasmas and new insight into the processes of solar-terrestrial interactions.

The HAARP site has been constructed in three distinct phases.

The Developmental Prototype (DP) had 18 antenna elements, organized in three columns by six rows. It was fed with a total of 360 kilowatts (KW) combined transmitter output power. The DP transmitted just enough power for the most basic of ionospheric testing.

The Filled Developmental Prototype (FDP) had 48 antenna units arrayed in six columns by eight rows, with 960 KW of transmitter power. It was fairly comparable to other ionospheric heating facilities. This was used for a number of successful scientific experiments and ionospheric exploration campaigns over the years.

The Final IRI (FIRI) will be the final build of the IRI. It has 180 antenna units, organized in 15 columns by 12 rows, yielding a theoretical maximum gain of 31 dB. A total of 3600 KW (3.6 MW) of transmitter power will feed it. The total effective radiated power (ERP) will be 3,981 MW (96 dBW).

HAARP can transmit between 2.8 and 10 MHz. This frequency range lies above the AM radio broadcast band and well below Citizens' Band frequency allocations.

HAARP is only licensed to transmit in certain segments of this frequency range, however.

So what is the purpose for spending so much money on this??

The HAARP project aims to direct a 3.6 MW signal, in the 2.8-10 MHz region of the HF band, into the ionosphere. The signal may be pulsed or continuous wave. Then effects of the transmission and any recovery period will be examined associated instrumentation, including VHF and UHF radars, HF receivers, and optical cameras.

According to the HAARP team, this will advance the study of basic natural processes that occur in the ionosphere under the natural but much stronger influence of solar interaction, as well as how the natural ionosphere affects radio signals.

This will enable scientists to develop techniques to mitigate these effects in order to improve the reliability and/or performance of communication and navigation systems, which would have a wide range of applications in both the civilian and military sectors.

The project's specifications were developed by the universities, which are continuing to play a major role in the design of future research efforts. There is both military and commercial interest in its outcome, as many communications and navigation systems depend on signals being reflected from the ionosphere or passing through the ionosphere to satellites.

Each summer, HAARP holds a summer-school for visiting students, giving them an opportunity to do research with one of the world's foremost research instruments.

HAARP controversy

Numerous parties have found reasons to suspect that HAARP is more than the government claims it to be. Various theories draw on brain waves, confusion of the ionosphere with the neutral atmosphere, and over-stated claims of HAARP supporters.

Many of the concerns about HAARP have been presented so as to be dismissed as "conspiracy theories" by some, while seen as proof of nefarious governmental plotting by others.

The truth about the research

The critics' views have been rejected by HAARP's defenders, who have pointed out that the amount of energy at the project's disposal is minuscule compared to the colossal energies dumped into the atmosphere by solar radiation and thunderstorms. A University of Alaska, Geophysical Institute scientist has compared HAARP to an "immersion heater in the Yukon River."

It would also be unable to effect any long-lasting changes; as the ionosphere is inherently a chaotically turbulent region, any artificially induced changes would be "swept clean" within seconds or minutes at the most. Ionospheric heating experiments performed at the Arecibo Observatory's ionospheric heater and incoherent scatter radar have shown that no matter how long the ionosphere is modified, it returns to normal within the same period of time.

Ionospheric heating cannot be performed while the sun illuminates the ionosphere for two reasons:Solar UV creates the ionospheric D-region, which absorbs the radio waves used for ionospheric heating.

HAARP's supporters also point to the lack of serious scientific evidence to support some of the more exotic claims being made about HAARP, such as the conjecture that the system caused the 2003 North America blackout or earthquakes.

Most scientists reject the extreme criticism of HAARP as "utter nonsense," especially aeronomers and space-physicists who have a solid understanding of the accusations levelled at HAARP.

Columnar Transposition Cipher

This is also named as caesar’s box. This was not used by him but was only named to honor him.
This is one of the simplest of ciphers that has been used. Generally these messages have perfect squared number of letters. For example

B Y C T S I O O H S N U D E A G D E M G O E D E E

This message has 25 letters, now to decode it…
Easiest way is to create a matrix of 5X5 with these letters

B Y C T S
I O O H S
N U D E A
G D E M G
O E D E E

Now get the transpositional matrix by changing the rows into columns…

B I N G O
Y O U D E
C O D E D
T H E ME
S S A G E

Now write it in a single row…

“BINGOYOUDECODEDTHEMESSAGE”

“Bingo you decoded the message” this was the message…

Now you should have a pretty good idea of how to create your own secret message by using Columnar Transposition Cipher.

But not always the message have perfect squared number of letters…
Like “ THERE IS NO SECRET MESSAGES FOR YOU”
this is 29 letters… so now the next largest perfect square is 36 so create a matrix of 6 X 6.

T I E M G R
H S C E E Y
E N R S S O
R O E S F U
E S T A O



So now the encoded message is
“TIEMGRHSCEEYENRSSOROESFUESTAO”

Try to decode this

“WEESHTDOOTOULHGT”

“Yloemtmoeuseheuartneacvhctllaeoosponynmist”

Hint: try rectangular matrices as well….

Blessed be…

Codes and Ciphers

I have always been fascinated by secret messages and deciphering these message. When I was 12 years old I used to play games sending messages written in invisible ink.
This all started when I was watching Chandrakanta, one of the most watched television series on Doordarshan ( Uttar Pradesh board exams had one question from this series, well I don’t remember the year, may be 12 yrs back).

The king (Pankaj dheer) in the series accidentally picks a parchment in the bedroom, which was meant for her wife. The parchment has nothing written on it, but ironically the parchment flies to the fireplace and words surfaces on the parchment. This parchment was written with citric acid from the lemon. The first time I tried this with the extracts from onion, then with lemon, they all worked but most of the time, I burned the papers because I didn’t had any other means of heating the paper except for fire. Later I discussed this with my science teacher and she asked me to try it with a hair drier. It really works well….

You may think, why am I talking about invisible ink and stuff in codes and ciphers, well they are all interconnected. The main aim was to send message to other person, without revealing the content to anyone else.

In olden days in the Greek and Roman countries, the literate people used to send written message, it was in itself a hidden message because most of the people were illiterate but what about hiding it from the literate ones? Then they came up with different methods.
They created hieroglyphic messages understandable only to sender and the receiver.

Hieroglyphs are symbolic representation of anything. The ancient Egyptian languages are hieroglyphic, there are hieroglyphs in the pyramids and the Mayan buildings. When people started understanding hieroglyphs, the elite people created coded messages.

Some of them are columnar transposition cipher, commonly known as caeser’s box ( It wasn’t created by caeser, but to honor one of the first people on earth to use coded message was it named that way). The other methods are vigenere cipher and the tricode and lot more.
