Now then, as I was saying - fair enough question. Consider this, though:
I, nor anyone else, cannot say for sure. However, I have been in
science for long enough to know of a highly significant effect called
"sampling bias". Sampling bias says that over the last 100 years or
so up to the present day we have noticed more earthquakes, more
tornados, more hurricanes, more lightning, etc. Why would that be?
Because we now have sophisticated instruments that allow us to measure
and see these phenomenon more often. Prior to 50 years ago, it was
rare to even detect an earthquake of less than magnitude 3 or so
unless you happened to be right on top of it. Now there are
many thousands of monitoring stations (again, a quick
look at Wikipedia says that we have gone from 350 stations in 1931 to
many thousands today). Furthermore, all earthquakes are
not created equally - in the American west the fault lines are
shallow, while the New Madris fault in the Midwest is many miles deep
(plus the soil is conducive to allowing the shock to be felt many,
many miles further away). In fact, with so many monitoring stations
we can actually sometimes pick up earthquakes with magnitudes of less
than 0 on the Richter Scale ("Less than zero?", you might ask - sure!
The Richter Scale is a base-10 logarithmic scale, so very small
numbers just mean very small movements. In fact, a single stick of
dynamite can be measured on such as scale, but it would be small
indeed...)
So, what I am saying is that the onus is not on
me to
show that these are not natural occuraces, but it is instead on
you (or others) to illustrate otherwise. So far, I
subscribe to the sampling bias theory. Also, I lived in the Midwest for
three breaks in the New Madris faultline, all prior to HAARP going
online, so this does not seem out of the ordinary with my own
experience even, and I have not lived there in a long time.
Wow, 10 years at a national weapons lab... that is great.
Thanks. However, what I said was "more than" 10 years. I cannot be too specific due to my identity. It is more than 10 but less than 20.
Do you understand the graphs???
To a large extent, yes. These are similar to atmospheric soundings (the balloons we send up) however an ionogram (also known as an ionosonde)
measures electrical activity in the upper atmosphere, outside the reaches of which we can get to by normal methods (read: using balloons).
Unfortunately, I want to make absolutely certain that I give the topic the justice it deserves as well as describe it in a manner in which a
non-physicist can understand it (as best as possible) so this topic will have to wait until tomorrow (I have a small mouth to feed

).
However, I'm not quite finished with this installment:
I understand your position.. you don't think that we would do this to ourselves.
No, no. I have no doubt that we are not that stupid. Do you have any idea how many states we have tested nuclear devices in? Let me give you a
hint, it is not two (New Mexico and Nevada - the obvious ones) but many more than that. Believe me, my mind is open, but I need to see more coherent
science first. I'm trying to help you along the way because I think you may be onto something, but as I said (or think I said) this is not my
thunder to steal - it's yours. So I'm just here to keep you on your toes.
Now then, here is that list of keywords that I promised but forgot to include last time:
- Van Allen Radiation Belts
- Kennelly-Heaviside Layer (which BTW Tesla detected too)
-
List of Artificial Radiation Belts
(One more "To Be Continued...")
