The fully completed and operational "instrument" with 180 transmitting towers.

After 15 years of effort from multiple contractors and enduring multiple conspiracy theories alleging it is a “doomsday weapon,” the world’s most advanced high-energy radio physics experiment know as HAARP (High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program) was declared fully operational in a Wednesday afternoon ribbon-cutting ceremony outside the central Alaska hamlet of Gakona.
Built upon the site of a canceled Air Force over-the-horizon radar site, the massive "instrument" as it is called, comprises 180 transmitter towers occupying several acres. The precisely placed and aligned towers dwarf the scrubby black spruce forest and look like a science fiction movie set piece. These high frequency transmitters work in close conjunction to precisely “heat” discrete areas of the Earth’s upper atmosphere known as the ionosphere, which is located from about 30 to 500 miles in altitude. HAARP’s focused radio transmissions temporarily increase the temperature and energy level of the ions and molecules in the upper atmosphere. This heating can produce spots of man-made aurora, though they pale in comparison to the power of the natural aurora and are visible only with sensitive night-vision cameras.
HAARP is jointly administered by the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) and the U.S. Office of Naval Research (ONR) and is run by BAE Systems, the world’s fourth-largest defense contractor.
Adjusting for inflation, approximately $300 million have been spent on the project since its beginning 15 years ago. Currently, annual operations run at about $7.5 million, which also funds the salaries of the dozen or so permanent employees. The mix of pure/academic ionospheric and auroral research to defense-related efforts is about 50/50. Each experiment, or campaign as they are called, is funded by whatever school, institution or defense agency conducting the campaign.
Though there are other radio-frequency research heaters located around the world, including the much smaller University of California HIPAS facility near Fairbanks, HAARP is by far the most powerful. HAARP was originally managed by ARCO, which was looking for an onsite way to use North Slope natural gas deposits to generate electricity to power the heater. That plan was shelved though HAARP is often confused with an enormous one-mile square heater designed by Dr. Bernard Eastland that would have used natural gas to power fire HF energy into near-earth space to create a global blanket of high energy electrons capable of frying any satellite or enemy ballistic missile flying though it as well as effecting changes to the weather (HAARP is not that machine nor does it emit a fraction of Eastland machines energy). HAARP uses five large diesel-powered generators to supply electricity to the transmitters. The heater has a broadcast power of 3,600 kilowatts, and within the narrow high frequency transmission band HAARP has an effective radiating power of over 7 gigawatts (billion watts). Housekeeping power is drawn from the local public grid.

UFOlogist getting hometown honour for alien pursuits

Stanton Friedman, who has spent years speaking about life in other worlds, will get some hometown recognition Monday.

The City of Fredericton, where Friedman maintains his home base, has declared Monday as Stanton Friedman Day.

Friedman, a nuclear physicist, is considered one of the world's leading experts on aliens and UFOs, and has spent much of his life travelling the world, giving lectures on so-called "alien visitations."

According to his biography on his website, since 1967 he has lectured on the topic "Flying Saucers ARE Real!" at more than 600 colleges and over 100 professional groups in 50 states, nine provinces and 16 other countries.

He has published more than 80 UFO papers, and appeared on hundreds of radio and TV programs.

Friedman believes some UFOs are alien spacecraft, and the subject of flying saucers has been covered up by the government, representing a "Cosmic Watergate."

Fredericton Mayor Brad Woodside said Friedman is being honoured not only because of his tireless efforts in spreading the word about UFOs, but also because of his enthusiastic promotion of the city.

"Stanton has lived here for 27 years," Woodside said.

"He's not only a nuclear physicist, but also a world-renowned UFOlogist. In just the past few months, he has appeared on Larry King Live, Fox News Live, and he appeared on CBS Sunday Morning. He could live anywhere in the world but he has chosen to live in Fredericton.…We believe it is worth celebrating his celebrity."

UFOs? Aliens? Intelligent life beyond Earth? The truth may be out there, but some locals still aren't comfortable talking about what they believe

We write about them, talk about them, make movies and films on the subject, but admit you believe there's intelligent life on other planets? Well, maybe privately.

More than two dozen people who were asked their opinion were more than willing to talk on the matter — but not on the record. What's interesting is, all but two believe. And to the last one, the believers felt it was the rational response. To imagine all universes void of life with the exception of earth seemed a ludicrous concept. But on the record? Thanks, but no thanks. They'd rather the neighbors didn't know.

Only one person admitted to a sighting. She was excited to talk about the experience — off the record. The East Kingston resident saw her UFO on Route 108 between Exeter and Kingston, a few decades back. "It's been a 'stick to beat me with' at the family reunions for years. It's good-natured, but I don't need it to be out there ...; to my friends," she says. "So, no. Not on the record."

With decades to think about it, does she still think it was an alien space ship she spotted? "Sometimes I question it. ...; It was a long time ago. I'll never really know what it was, will I? But it wasn't a plane, and it was definitely different. I've never seen anything act like that — holding steady, and then gone. ...; Yes I guess I did see what I thought I saw."

So aliens are a given? "They would have to be wouldn't they? Not little green things. But I do believe in intelligent life, other than us. It only makes sense."

There it is — the oft-repeated comment; the one few would admit to on record.

Looking for a Flying Car

California Company Starts Making Flying Saucers

A flying saucer that glides 10 feet off the ground and carries two passengers has gone into commercial production.

Moller International, based in Davis, Calif., has begun to manufacture parts for its Jetsons-like personal flying pod, the M200G Volantor.

The M200G is the size of a small car and is designed to take off and land vertically.

Company founder Paul Moller, in a press release, called the craft "the ultimate off-road vehicle" as it is able to travel over any surface.

"It's not a hovercraft, although its operation is just as easy," said Moller, a retired professor of mechanical engineering at the University of California at Davis. "You can speed over rocks, swampland, fences or log-infested waterways with ease, because you're not limited by the surface."

The flying saucer is designed to fly at an altitude of up to 10 feet. The aerodynamic shape of its saucer-like body adds to lifting power when traveling at speed.

This allows the M200G to glide over terrain at up 50 mph, powered by eight of the company's Rotapower customized Wankel rotary jet engines.

Moller International has not arranged for training or licensing requirements to operate the vehicle, but it is prepared to offer demonstration sessions at its headquarters once the vehicle is ready for market.

The company has said the price for its M200G could start as low as $90,000, depending on the number ordered.

Major Minneapolis Bridge Collapses Over Mississippi River

Click here to the see live report on MyFoxTwinCities.com.

MINNEAPOLIS — The I-35W highway bridge over the Mississippi River in Minneapolis collapsed during evening rush hour Wednesday, sending many cars and motorists into the water.

Authorities tell Fox News that there are between 20- 30 people in the river while witnesses told the Minneapolis Star-Tribune that at least 20 cars may have been involved.

Tons of concrete have collapsed and survivors are being carried up the riverbank. Both the northbound and southbound lanes of 35W are lying in the Mississippi River, according to local CBS affiliate WCCO-com.

Pieces of bridge wreckage lay on the east bank of the river, while large portions of concrete roadway lay on the west bank. Rescuers are scrambling to help people caught on parts of the roadway in the river gorge, according to the Star-Tribune.com.

There are multiple cars still in the river and a couple cars on fire. According to one witness, there was a school bus full of children on the bridge, according to reports.

The eight-lane, 1,950-feet-long bridge is located near University Avenue connects downtown Minneapolis and the University of Minnesota.

The entire span of the 35W bridge collapsed about 6:05 p.m. where the freeway crosses the river near University Avenue.

Some people are stranded on parts of the bridge that aren't completely in the water.

A tractor-trailer is on fire at the collapse scene.

Star-tribune.com reported that workers have been improving the 40-year-old bridge’s surface as part of repairs to that part of the interstate.
