Over the past few days, probably because of so much unsettled and unusual weather, internet rumors have suggested that the High Frequency Active Auroral Resarch Program at Gakona, Alaska has been operating at very high energy output levels. One such story even claims that the HAARP array caused a “rift in space-time” on March 4.

These rumors cannot be confirmed, and HAARP officials claim that the array is not being operated in any unusual manner at all. However, a substantial amount of classified research takes place at the array, as a result of which official statements may or may not be accurate.

Just in time for new conflicts in the Middle East, the Pentagon has unveiled a new non-lethal weapon that would be excellent for crowd control. It sends an electromagnetic energy beam that quickly heats up the surface of the skinand inflicts pain that is similar to touching a hot light bulb. The new weapon can be mounted on top of a military jeep or Humvee.

“It’s the kind of pain you would feel if you were being burned,” says Rich Garcia, a spokesman for the Air Force Research Laboratory at Kirtland Air Force Base in New Mexico. “It’s just not intense enough to cause anydamage.”

“This revolutionary force-protection technology gives U.S. service members an alternative to using deadly force,” said Marine Corps Colonel George F. Fenton.

An extremely unusual weather formation developing over the Northeastern US could cause a monster storm, according to meterologists. “Meteorlogists say it’s unusual and it’s not like anything they’ve seen in fifty years,” according to National Weather Service Spokesman Curtis Carey.

The storm is expected to strike the northeast on Sunday night and to persist into Tuesday.

A front now moving across Canada is behaving in a way that is not predicted by any currently active meteorlogical models, or by observed experience. This front is traveling from east to west, and it is not clear why this is happening. It is assumed that the front will change direction soon and begin to move in a more normal manner.
