>I'm a science nerd. Then you should be more skeptical of things because science nerds would realize the scales of energy needed here are outside of human capability. >Here's some interesting articles that may bring you up to speed. The HAARP experimental airglow is very small compared to the massive display caused by the magnetic storm. It is small because the energy HAARP can muster is small. The first article gives some numbers on this. >Similar to how solar energy produces a natural aurora, HAARP produces airglow by using intermittent bursts of high-frequency radio waves to excite electrons in earth’s ionosphere. With 180 high-frequency antennas arranged in a phased array over 33 acres, HAARP’s Ionospheric Research Instrument has the capacity to radiate 3.6 megawatts into the ionosphere and upper atmosphere. 180 "high frequency" antennas (2.8 to 10 MHz is NOT high frequency at all!) radiating 3.6 megawatts of power isn't much at all. A typical Walmart consume 1 megawatt-hour of energy. They are putting not quite 4 Walmarts-worth of energy into a small patch of the atmosphere. The sun's power output per square meter on Earth is about 1000 Watts. One square kilometer of area gets about 1 megawatt of solar energy. You would only need 4 square kilometers of sunlit area to exceed the HAARP output energy. The auroral displays the storm brought are tens of thousands of square kilometers. The size is massive and the energies immense compared to HAARP's meager abilities. That alone makes it extremely unlikely that HAARP could have played any part here. It's just not capable of such things. The second article is just the same content as the first but smaller. It doesn't bring anything new to the table here. But anyway, be a science nerd and use your brain to logically deduce that the storm was what produced the phenomenon because 3.6 Walmart's worth of energy isn't really much energy at all in this situation. The output frequencies are in the range of CPU clock speeds from the early 80s. HAARP isn't very "super" in these numbers either. Even ionizing the atmosphere with lasers (not gonna be very effective for so many reasons) or particle accelerator (also not very effective for similar reasons) won't do much because the energy levels are so low. The sun cannot be beaten by humans and our meager energy capabilities. Even converted the Earth's entire mass to energy would not exceed the sun's energy capabilities. That alone makes it impossible. We just can't muster that level of energy production or control. We're not even close to that.
