Born in Texas, eastland showed "unique scientific talent" since childhood. 1956, admitted to MIT, majoring in physics. Seven years later, this young man from "the land of cowboys" got a Ph.D. in physics from Columbia University, and was immediately hired as the director of the "Q Machine Project" by the physics department of Columbia University. Although he has no working experience and four assistants are graduate students, it took eastland only three years to develop a new technology for purifying alkaline earth metals. News spread like wildfire. Soon, eastland was "poached" by the US Nuclear Energy Commission and became the director of the controllable thermonuclear research project, responsible for the research and coordination of four national laboratories. After a while, American Fusion Systems offered a higher price and invited him to be its chief technology officer. Shortly after taking office, eastland became famous for inventing ultraviolet light ... Slowly, the Pentagon began to pay attention to eastland, especially his "humble" invention patent-a new method for measuring the earth's atmosphere. Because the content is too difficult, few people care about this technology after it was invented, even eastland himself didn't care too much. But one day, the Pentagon suddenly called him: "We heard that you invented a new method to measure the earth's atmosphere. Come and work with us. The biggest use of this patent can only be meteorological warfare. " So, with the consent of the employer Atlantic Rickfield Company, eastland went to the Pentagon as a part-time scientist and began to participate in an extremely confidential project-meteorological warfare Project. "In the early 1980s, I was the chief consultant of Atlantic Rickfield Company. At that time, all I could think about was how to effectively develop Alaska's natural gas. At that time, I knew nothing about meteorological warfare, and I didn't know what my patent had to do with meteorological warfare. " Talking about the experience of becoming attached to meteorological warfare, eastland said, "Through the explanation of Pentagon officers, I realized that meteorology plays a vital role in the war." When eastland first entered the Pentagon, no one dared to tell him the whole plan of the US military in meteorological warfare, but he still learned that the US military had a long-standing plan to "call the wind and call the rain": in the 1960s, the United States established the "McGinley Climate Laboratory" in Florida, specializing in the research and development of meteorological weapons, which was put into use in the Vietnam War. From 65438 to 0977, the US military invested another $2.8 million in special research in meteorological warfare. The following year, the United Nations passed a bill banning all environmental and climate tests, and the US government was forced to suspend all relevant tests at 1979. But eastland knows that, in fact, the United States has never stopped studying meteorological warfare for 20 years. 1In June, 994, eastland's "Atlantic Rickfield Company" resold all its patented technologies and contracts to a company named "E- system".
"Mystery company. No one knows the real background of "E- system", but people only know that this company specializes in doing business with the CIA and the National Defense Intelligence Agency, and the annual contract amount is as high as 654.38+08 billion US dollars. " E- system immediately entrusted Eastland with an important task, asking him to fully preside over the "High Frequency Active Aurora Research Project" (in HAARP). This program under the banner of "peaceful research" is actually one of the most dangerous and crazy weapons research and development programs in human history, and it has been strongly funded by the US Air Force and Navy. The US military has been using meteorological weapons in decades of wars.
Meteorological warfare, in fact, is to exert artificial influence on the local weather to create favorable and unfavorable conditions for the enemy to win the war.
Artificial precipitation enhancement, artificial fogging and fog elimination, artificial lightning protection, artificial typhoon influence, etc. These technologies can be used as both civilian and common means in meteorological warfare.
In the history of meteorological warfare, the technology of artificially influencing local weather was widely used in the battlefield, which originated from World War I and got great development in World War II. The U.S. military's climate laboratory has a history of nearly 50 years.
During World War II, American troops visited meteorological warfare many times. Among them, some US military airports are often foggy due to the weather, which makes it difficult for fighters to take off and land. The US military ignited the runway to drive fog, which successfully facilitated the take-off and landing operations of fighters.
1943 In September, the military aircraft of the Fifth Group of the United States spread fogging agent, which created a fog layer with a length of 5000m and a width of1600m on the Italian Volturno River, successfully covering the troops crossing the river. In June1946165438+10, American young engineers Schaefer and vonnegut successfully conducted artificial rainfall experiments, which opened up a new field for the study of weather modification.
In the early 1960s, the Vietnam War, which lasted for 10 years, began. 1967 At the beginning of this year, in order to prevent Ho Chi Minh's troops from using the Ho Chi Minh Trail to transport materials to the southern guerrillas, the invading US troops secretly conducted the meteorological warfare operation code-named "Bombing". From time to time, the 54th Meteorological Reconnaissance Squadron of the US Air Force dispatched fighter planes to scatter cloud accelerant over Ho Chi Minh Trail, causing artificial rainfall, causing flooding in some areas, washing away some bridges on the supply line and flooding many sections. The entire aerial rain-making project of the US military has been going on for seven years, costing more than 2 1 10,000 US dollars, which has caused great difficulties for the logistics supply of the Vietnamese guerrillas.
According to Air Force magazine, in several wars since the end of the Cold War, the US Air Force, which has the strongest all-weather combat capability in the world, has defeated meteorological warfare. 19911Before the Gulf War, the US Air Force Meteorological Bureau, which was responsible for collecting global airborne meteorological information, sent a 500-person meteorological unit to the Gulf region, becoming one of the first US troops deployed in the Gulf region. In the Kosovo War of 1999, the US Air Force used a new type of satellite-guided bomb that was not affected by the weather for the first time and achieved great success.
In the usual training of the US military, the climate laboratory is also used to create "realistic" scenes. Rain, thunder, hail, heat and cold, etc. The United States can create different weather at any time to provide conditions for troops to carry out adaptive training.
International conventions have explicitly prohibited it; The United States is still the largest meteorological weapon.
For many years, the US military has been conducting atmospheric warfare research. Among them, in Alaska in the North Pacific, the US military vigorously developed the "High Frequency Active Aurora Research Project" (HAARP), trying to control the upper atmosphere by using high frequency electromagnetic waves. According to the US military, this is part of the national anti-missile system. If intercontinental missiles from Russia or other countries attack the United States, the ionosphere will be intercepted by the powerful electromagnetic beam of the US military over the Arctic region, the electronic guidance system will be burned down due to overheating, and the intercontinental missiles will not be able to continue flying. The U.S. military claims that the project complies with relevant international regulations and is not a meteorological weapon project.
From 65438 to 0975, the United States and the Soviet Union began negotiations on prohibiting the transformation of weather for military operations. 19761June 10, the United Nations explicitly proposed a treaty prohibiting military or any other hostile use of the environment for transformation. 1October 5, 1978, 10, the treaty came into effect. 1992, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change once again affirmed the content and significance of military treaties prohibiting weather modification.
However, some American physicists believe that the HAARP project is the largest ionospheric reconstruction project in the world, and it is also the largest meteorological warfare weapon in the world. It can manipulate the local weather artificially, disrupt the flight of spacecraft and launch vehicles in other countries, and disrupt the communication between other countries. Russia's Pravda hit the nail on the head and pointed out that although the United States signed a United Nations treaty prohibiting the development of meteorological weapons, the electromagnetic interception project of the US military in Alaska was obviously carried out under the guise of scientific research or dual technology.
Most importantly, the United Nations treaty does not prohibit the transformation of meteorology into commercial services. For many years, some American companies have been conducting civil research and experiments to transform meteorology. But once needed, the achievements of civil meteorological transformation can be turned into military at any time. From 1987 to 1993, an American company conducted a "cloud-making project" experiment in North Dakota. 1998, the American Meteorological Association admitted that they have been conducting lightning research. Barnes, an adviser to the meteorological warfare Research Group of the US Air Force and a senior scientist at Phillips Laboratory, believes that lightning can be directly used in the military. Among them, the laser lightning rod can cause lightning in the air, causing damage to enemy fighters or intercontinental missiles and other aircraft, which is conducive to the development of airborne laser weapons of the US military.
Brzezinski, the former national security adviser of the United States, lamented that science and technology have made everything possible, and meteorological transformation technology can prolong the drought or storm in a region. Enhance the lethality of atomic bombs
The US military believes that in the future war, meteorological warfare will remain an important part of the war, which can affect the progress of the war and even the outcome at any time. Once one side of the battle artificially creates a rainstorm, the armored forces on the ground of the other side may not be able to move, and the fighters may not be able to fly, which may lead to the reversal of the war situation and the defeat of one side. Some people in American political circles even think that it is better to use meteorological weapons to reduce casualties than to use modern weapons such as missiles to cause greater casualties.
According to American media, after the end of the Cold War, the US Air Force drew up the meteorological warfare Plan for 2 1 century, that is, the "Total Control Plan for 2025", trying to ensure the leading position of the United States in international affairs through meteorological warfare. 1in March, 1997, Barnes revealed in a forum that the air force's future meteorological warfare plan considered that the risk of developing meteorological control system for military application was "extremely high". However, "space has given us new places and technology has given us new opportunities", and meteorological development has "great military potential", which can control the battlefield to an unprecedented extent.
According to the relevant documents of the United States, some people in the US military once proposed to use atomic bombs to carry out meteorological warfare: the atomic bombs were detonated in the storm generation system or in the clouds, thus forming a radiation rain, generating a radiation pollution area larger than normal nuclear explosions, and causing a wider range of casualties to the enemy.
