The powerful Hurricane Milton heading towards Florida (USA) has not been created by the Haarp projectas falsely stated by social media users who relate the storm to this program, developed to study an atmospheric layer but without the ability to modify the climate or create natural catastrophes.
According to the criteria of
Faced with the Milton threat, which has already become a category five hurricane, Internet users have stated on platforms such as Facebook or X that the cyclone is another example of the use of Haarp, a research program founded in the United States and core of various conspiracies denied by EFE Verifica.
Haarp has the ability to modify the electromagnetic field and destroy entire nations on earth (sic
To support these claims, numerous messages include a video showing an intensely overcast sky, with wave-shaped clouds, over a beach.
“Haarp has been fully activated in Florida”holds a profile that spreads the material.
Likewise, other Internet users comment: “Haarp has the ability to modify the electromagnetic field and destroy entire nations on earth (sic).”
Haarp is a scientific project that does not alter climatic conditions, according to experts
This program focuses on studying the ionosphere and has no capacity to generate natural disasters, as experts consulted by EFE Verifica have confirmed on different occasions. Besides, The video spread by some Internet users has been circulating at least since 2021as demonstrated by a reverse image search on Google.
Firstly, the High Frequency Active Auroral (Haarp) research program at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, in the United States, is a facility built to analyze the ionosphere, the highest part of the Earth’s atmosphere.
Can be used to temporarily excite a limited area of the ionosphere for scientific research purposes
According to the information provided on that institution’s website, Haarp is a high-power transmitter that operates in the high frequency range.
It is stated that it “can be used to temporarily excite a limited area of the ionosphere for scientific research purposes”, implying that its use is specific and localized.
Experts have already clarified to EFE Verifies that Haarp is incapable of creating extreme phenomenas, as was demonstrated when this project was linked to an earthquake in Morocco or floods in Dubai.
The viralized video is old
A trace on the internet shows that the images shared by some users are not currentbut have been circulating since at least 2021. Therefore, it is not possible that they are related to Hurricane Milton.
A reverse search on Google, with a fragment of the viral video, returns several publications that had already shared the same sequence on Facebook several years ago.
These entries related the image of the sky with wavy formations to the phenomenon ‘Undulatus asperatus’, also known colloquially as asperite clouds.
This climatic event, according to the World Meteorological Organization, “It is characterized by the existence of localized waves at the base of the cloudwhich can be smooth or mottled with smaller elements.
According to the article, the light and thickness of the cloud “can generate spectacular visual effects.” However, It is not suggested at any time that this event is artificially created.
Milton may be the worst hurricane to hit Florida in 100 years
It could be the worst hurricane to hit Florida in more than a century
In the hours before Hurricane Milton arrived on American shores, more thane 5.5 million people are called to evacuate in Florida counties.
This is one of the largest evacuations in the history of the state, which usually suffers from these meteorological phenomena.
President Joe Biden said Milton “could be the worst hurricane to hit Florida in more than a century,” after reaching the highest category.
