A frightening storm engulfed Japan in hail stones that are big enough to shatter a street lamp. Japan has recently been the target of freak weather which happened with no warning at all.
According to Haarp, the latest incident occurred on July 11, when numerous accounts of the dreaded hailstorm started spreading. It is reported that the winds were strong enough to even topple signboards.
Furthermore, the spiky hail particles were so big that a street lamp was even shattered on impact. Some videos of the incident captured the shocking effects of the occurring hailstorm which almost sounded like one roof was taking heavy machine gun fire.
The aftermath only left the streets of Tokyo littered with thousands of hail stones but with no major civilian injuries. Despite the storm being reported as more furious , there have been no reports of casualties.
Once evening has arrived, Japan’s skies were clear once again as the furious storm seems to have passed on. However, such scary occurrences aren’t that uncommon in Japan.
Hailstorms carrying freakishly large hail stones have happened in Japan numerous times already. As a matter of fact, locals even came up with the term “guerrilla downpour” in describing the sudden occurrence of bizarre weather due to its frequency.
According to NHK, a similar occurrence hit the land of the rising sun not too long ago. On June 24, a similar torrent of hailstones poured over Tokyo’s Mitaka city. The strong hailstorm poured on for about 30 minutes. Just like the most recent incident, this freak weather also occurred some time in the afternoon.
Officials have attributed the cause of the storm to humid air being coupled with cold air mass. The combination of these gasses then create cumulonimbus clouds. These clouds create an unstable atmospheric condition which in turn generates powerful hailstorms.
The High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) was initiated as an ionospheric research program jointly funded by the U.S. Air Force, the U.S. Navy, the University of Alaska Fairbanks, and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). It was designed and built by BAE Advanced Technologies. Its original purpose was to analyze the ionosphere and investigate the potential for developing ionospheric enhancement technology for radio communications and surveillance. As a university-owned facility, HAARP is a high-power, high-frequency transmitter used for study of the ionosphere.
The most prominent instrument at HAARP is the Ionospheric Research Instrument (IRI), a high-power radio frequency transmitter facility operating in the high frequency (HF) band. The IRI is used to temporarily excite a limited area of the ionosphere. Other instruments, such as a VHF and a UHF radar, a fluxgate magnetometer, a digisonde (an ionospheric sounding device), and an induction magnetometer, are used to study the physical processes that occur in the excited region.
Work on the HAARP facility began in 1993. The current working IRI was completed in 2007; its prime contractor was BAE Systems Advanced Technologies. As of 2008, HAARP had incurred around $250 million in tax-funded construction and operating costs. In May 2014, it was announced that the HAARP program would be permanently shut down later in the year. After discussions between the parties, ownership of the facility and its equipment was transferred to the University of Alaska Fairbanks in August 2015.
HAARP is a target of conspiracy theorists, who claim that it is capable of “weaponizing” weather. Commentators and scientists say that advocates of this theory are uninformed, as claims made fall well outside the abilities of the facility, if not the scope of natural science.
