After posting some of my aurora pics from last night on social media, I got no less than a half dozen people commenting that it was an 'artificial aurora' caused by HAARP. This is apparently the latest conspiracy theory making the rounds online. HAARP has been blamed for everything from global warming to covid but last night's solar storm sparked the CT crowd into overdrive.
Source for the conpiracy is apparently this press release supposedly sent out by the HAARP team:
HAARP
Nevermind asking why they would publicize their testing if it was meant to be a conspiracy...
HAARP actually apparently can cause weak ariglow/aurora in the vicinity of the transmitters, but nothing like the widespread aurora last night. I am not sure if the proponents of HAARP creating aurora are also claiming that HAARP can cuase sunspots, CMEs, and G5 storms....but would not surprise me.
I wish the Univ of AK would put out something calling out this nonsense for what it is.
