A earthquake and numerous aftershocks caused a disaster on the border Turkey And Syria in recent hours, resulting in at least 5,000 deaths and cities completely destroyed. And, as was the custom on the Internet, a false conspiracy theory began to spread to accuse a natural phenomenon of a premeditated act. HAARP.
As the world watched in horror as footage of the first magnitude 7.8 quake struck, various netizens began blaming the Alaska-based High Frequency Active Aurora Research Program for the phenomenon.
“Earthquake in Turkey looks like a punitive operationHAARP) NATO or USA vs. Turkey— wrote one of the users on Twitter. “The video shows lightning strikes, which are not normal in earthquakes, but always occur during work HAARP”.
Conspiracy theories and HAARP
HAARP it is a program funded by the US Air Force and Navy, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), and the University of Alaska.
Its main purpose was to study the properties of the ionosphere to improve communication technologies and surveillance systems such as missile detection.
Since its inception, this program has been the goal conspiracy theories most of the natural disasters that exist on the planet.
“Sad to hear about the earthquake in Turkey. It is very suspicious that there was lightning in the sky before the crash, ”wrote another user. “If you don’t know what this project is HAARP, look it up. Coincidentally, when Turkey it became a thorn in the neck of NATO in relation to Russia.”
The theory refers to the fires of earthquakes, the result of the interaction of electrical charges in the earth (in certain types of minerals) and which are reflected as light in shocks, earthquakes and earthquakes.
But this is impossible.
Many scholars have already pointed out the fallacy of HAARP It may be responsible for phenomena such as lights in the sky and earthquakes themselves.
“There is no reliable mechanism by which HAARP change the climate or neutral atmosphere in a noticeable way,” said Keith Groves, associate director of the Institute for Scientific Research at Boston College. USA today. “Allegations of this kind are completely unfounded. They are sensational, but neither serious nor scientific.”
“The ionosphere is the layer of charged particles that separates the atmosphere and space,” said Toshi Nishimura, an assistant professor at Boston University. “There is no evidence that the ionosphere can influence the weather.”
