I have a close friend whom I have known for years. He’s an RSTX consultant for Raytheon STX. Over the past 6 years or so, I’ll bring up discussions of my research regarding the ionosphere, plasma physics, electromagnetics and other topics. I usually try to throw HAARP in there to see if I can get any inside info out of him. He’s pretty good at just laughing it off, somewhat chuckling to himself and not revealing anything.
This last visit I had with him in August was a little different, however. He realized, after all these years, how serious I am about my research…and HAARP in particular. I even showed him our forum and told him about the Popular Science article about HAARP.
He let me in on some info. And we made an agreement. He went out of his way and risked his job and the welfare of his family to obtain this information for me. I promised not to reveal his name or location for fear of reprimand and a loss of everything he’s worked so hard to establish.
He said that his company, Raytheon STX, partnered with some company named WDS. I think he said it stood for Western Data Systems. And he said this happened about 10 years ago. Any way, when this happened, RSTX was awarded with some multi million dollar contract from NASA to work on stuff for GSFC (Goddard Space Flight Center). He mentioned some software that WDS brought with them. It was called Compass Enterprise software. Basically, he was working on replacing some of their “legacy systems” and “bring them up to speed with current technology.”
The problem was that they had old systems, different types of millimeter film, as well as analog tapes. And they weren’t sure how to centralize it all. So, it was like a pick and choose type of thing…but, he wasn’t involved with that part. He did mention something about an old MODCOMP system that he worked on. And, he dealt with a lot of “7 track analog telemetry tapes” as well as older film rolls. He did tell me that he was lucky enough to sneak a peek at some data from the MODCOMP system before they switched over to VAX. At the time he didn’t think much of it because it was mainly just satellite data.
He claims that they delegated a lot of the work out to many individuals…and that since about 2001 different divisions of the GSFC have been digitizing much of the data. One guy with the last name of Hills from some ITM group did a lot of digitizing of this analog data. And, he said something about Ottawa, Canada storing much of this stuff. Any way, a lot of this had to be “junked” because it was taking up too much room. So, there were people who would pick and choose what to put on the new system based on certain criteria.
Recently, he was able to obtain some of this “data” for me that has since been digitized onto the network (SPAN). Some of it was just scanned in while other was converted. I’ve been going through it and have noticed that NASA, the USAF, and Stanford have been involved with ionospheric research since the 50s….just like I have read about on the Net.
Here is some of the proof that he gave me:
The USSR have been monitoring stations since at least '84.

Here's an image from a station in Czechoslovakia from the year '75.

The numbers across the top are the years. These are the years '57 through '71.
Look at all of the ionospheric stations they already had collecting data.

This is a continuation of the stations from year '72 through '85.

Many of the following pictures are clickable links to a larger, clearer image.
This picture shows the Western hemisphere in regards to the stations. The dots are where the stations have existed.
Notice, you'll see Stanford on there along with many others.


This picture shows the Eastern hemisphere in regards to the stations. I can't believe how many of them there are.


These are the main radar facilites talked about in different journals and papers. Look at the years there, 1963 for Arecibo and 1960 for the one in Massachusetts.


This is another listing of ionospheric stations and there start date. Check that out, many started in the late '50s.


Here is a contact listing of people who deal with and are concerned with particular stations.


Helliwell and Gehrels were able to receive artificial radio signals at a conjugate receiver...conjugate to the magneto-electronic duct that is...as early as 1958. Now, Carpenter is from Stanford. And Umran Inan actually references Helliwell quite often in his research.
Just like at this link
VLF Project in the references you'll see:
12. Helliwell, R. A., A theory of discrete emissions from the magnetosphere, J. Geophys.
Res., 72, 4773, 1967.
13. Helliwell, R. A., D. L. Carpenter, and T. R. Miller, Power threshold for growth of coherent
VLF signals in the magnetosphere, J. Geophys. Res., 85,3360, 1980.
Now, we know why Inan likes to reference him...because they're both Stanford alumni.

Here is a listing of the different station types and their numbers. You'll see that the whistler mode type is the most prevalent.

The following is a listing of the different satellites launched, the instruments they contained, and who was involved:
All of these pictures are smaller images. The pictures can be clicked on to see a larger, clearer image.
EXPLORER 6 - 1959: Stanford University's Helliwell was involved with a VLF Receiver for that satellite.


STARAD - 1962: United States Air Force Geophysical Laboratory was involved with electron density measurements as well as an electron magnetic spectrometer.


OGO 2 - 1965: Stanford University's Helliwell was involved with the study of VLF Noise Propagation as well as VLF spectrograms on 35-MM film rolls.
Also, an Airglow study was conducted by NASA-GSFC (Goddard Space Flight Center), US Naval Research Laboratory, and the University of Colorado.


ARIEL 4: 1971: RAL (Rutherford Appleton Laboratory - from the UK) was involved with a Langmuir probe as well as a VLF impulse counter.


Do any of these names look familiar with what I have linked previously in this article in regards to whom is involved with HAARP. These are big names, people. My sharing of this knowledge is to show how HAARP wasn't thought about in a night. It has taken decades of work and research to lead up to what it is now. It has taken teams of people.
Now, knowing that...do you think they are really going to just let everyone know in the public with what they are using HAARP for? Are they really going to let on as to HAARP's full potential? No way! Too much time and money has invested to get to this point. We can keep it under the radar by saying it's a civilian research project and dismiss any probable claims for use by NASA, the DoD, NOAA, NCAR and other univerisites as just kooky or from the "paranoid blogosphere."
There's the proof my friends...straight from NASA's own data. Thanks again, my friend. You've done well for me.
