HAARP IS ABOUT TO PING AN ASTEROID:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“Researchers from NASA and the University of Alaska are about to perform an unusual radar experiment. They’re going to ping a near-Earth asteroid using shortwave radio. The target is a 500-ft-wide space rock named “2010 XC15<\/a>.” When it passes by Earth on Tuesday, Dec. 27th, the HAARP array in Alaska will hit it with a pulse of 9.6 MHz radio waves.”<\/p>\n

“Radio astronomers ping asteroids all the time. What’s unusual about this experiment is the frequency: 9.6 MHz is hundreds of times lower than typical S-band<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0X-band<\/a> frequencies used by other asteroid radars. The goal is to probe the asteroid’s interior.”<\/p>\n

This might be an interesting catch on our shortwave receivers?!<\/p>\n
