On the evening of June 20, 2008, a significant lightning storm entered Shasta County in Northern California. The storm, which did not pass until June 23, caused approximately 5,000 lightning strikes resulting in more than 150 confirmed fires within Shasta County and the eastern portion of neighboring Trinity County. The majority of the fires were quickly contained. However, some became larger fires and took several weeks to contain. This incident was called the Shasta Lightning Complex.
A conspiracy theory that says government agencies are using jets to dump poisonous heavy metals into the atmosphere moves today from the realm of late-night talk radio call-in shows to the Shasta County supervisors chambers.
Area scientists have taken more than 40 samples in the north state, including on the sides of Mt. Shasta, and all of them showed abnormally high levels of heavy metals like aluminum, he said.
The metals are new and in places where they shouldn’t be, he said. The dumping may also be contributing to disastrous weather patterns, Wigington said.
“It’s tough not to connect to that with what happened in June with the 3,000-plus lightning strikes we had,” he said, adding that it’s important the public hear more about the alleged dumpings’ detrimental effects on the environment. “This is certainly a public health hazard.”
. Specific projects that fall under this heading are foundational studies on the initiation, propagation, and attachment of lightning, and their associated emissions; the critical factors affecting magnetospheric sub-storms; the generation and amplification of extremely low frequency (ELF)/ultra low frequency (ULF)/very low frequency (VLF) radiation in the ionosphere utilizing the High Frequency Active Aural Research Program (HAARP) transmitter; and understanding and quantifying the interaction of electromagnetic and acoustic waves with the plasma in flames
Positive lightning has been identified as a major source for the recently discovered sprites and elves. Sprites and elves are most likely lightning discharges but occur from 18-60 miles (30-95 km) in altitude, well above the parent thunderstorm.

Plus....put a college in charge of it so that it looks all innocent .... perfect cover....out in plain sight.
Or you put a college in charge, and it looks innocent (because it is) that doesn't need a cover out in plain site.
so...you think HAARP is just some simple scientific project to test "something" by college students?

Huh.
I don't see where it was claimed to be simple or that it was operated by college students.
The experiments were not really simple, in fact that's part of the problem, trying to explain complex subject matter to people with no training in the field.
It wasn't really operated by college students though. Graduate students worked there but so did a lot of PhD's from the US and other countries.
Where was it stated that it was "simple?" Where was it stated that it was operated by college students? Other than by you, that is? From what I see, those were your claims, not his.
as he/she was pointing that is was indeed a simple college operation and you are right
most people don't understand what was being done or "tested" with these sites.

Great information thank you.
On topic too... Engineering storms including lightning strikes fits perfectly with weather engineering and weather modification.
I found this Benign Weather Modification
Benign weather modification, Talks about illegal lightning strikes, using weather modification to cause death, Military applications of weather modification, project Popeye and more.
The 36 pages is gold
Modifying weather to cause injury or death is outlawed. For instance, causing lightning to strike exposed enemy infantry is illegal.
I wonder where that might have happened.
And yet someone did think that...thought it was so real that a law needed to be made prohibiting it.

The HAARP program began in 1990. The project is funded by the Office of Naval Research and jointly managed by the ONR and Air Force Research Laboratory, with the principal involvement of the University of Alaska. Many other universities and educational institutions of the United States have been involved in the development of the project and its instruments, namely the University of Alaska Fairbanks, Stanford University, Penn State University (ARL), Boston College, UCLA, Clemson University, Dartmouth College, Cornell University, Johns Hopkins University, University of Maryland, College Park, University of Massachusetts Amherst, MIT, Polytechnic Institute of New York University, and the University of Tulsa. The project's specifications were developed by the universities, which are continuing to play a major role in the design of future research efforts

Just wondering if you skipped this little part from your link....
Seems as though the DOD isn't pursuing the weather as a weapon, so that would mean HAARP isn't being used as any type of nefarious weapon to change weather.
Which it couldn't do in the first place.
because the DOD would never lie about what they are doing? They would never try to deceive us or misdirect us.

got it
Do you think that those sites that are telling you that you are being sprayed with chemtrails would never ever tell you lies?
