I found this clip on youtube.com showing a possible HAARP radar flare in the state of Washington. In this video by Dutchsinse, he varifies these flares on intellicast.com, weather.gov, and accuweather.com.

HAARP [CH01] What is it?
According to haarp.alaska.edu,
HAARP is more equipped than other research facilities. Its unique features include "electronic beam steering", "wide frequency coverage", and an advanced collection of scientific instruments. The data that these "sophisticated" instruments collect is recorded and archived into their database. Anyone can view the data that HAARP collects for their Magnetometer, VHF Classic Riometer, HAARP HF Ionosonde, Induction Magnetometer, Total Electron Content, "Latitude Scans of TEC and Scintillation", Spectrum Monitor Waterfall Charts, HAARP Observatory Weather Station, and more on their website (http://www.haarp.alaska.edu/haarp/factSheet.html,http://www.haarp.alaska.edu/haarp/data.html).
Atmospheric studies have been very important to the military and communication industries since the ionosphere can "distort, reflect and absorb radio signals." Imagine a company executive whose satellite download gets delayed due to an unexpected fluctuation in the atmosphere. These sudden changes can be cause by solar flares or lightning which heat or ionize air-streams. A classic example of this phenomenon occurred in 1933, know as the Luxembourg Effect, when a radio receiver, tuned to Radio-Paris, located in Southern England picked up a faint signal from the much more powerful Luxembourg station. This event would not be unusual except that the two radio stations frequencies were separated by a "large band" which prevented any "cross modulation"--that is, the presence of strong signals on adjacent channels.
"HAARP is a scientific endeavor aimed at studying the properties and behavior of the ionosphere, with particular emphasis on being able to understand and use it to enhance communications and surveillance systems for both civilian and defense purposes."The HAARP facility located near Gakona, Alaska is one of many "ionosphere research" facilities located all around the world. In addition to HAARP, the US has two more facilities--one located in Puerto Rico, near the Arecibo Observatory and the other near Fairbanks, Alaska (http://www.haarp.alaska.edu/haarp/factSheet.html).

The Lucifer Effect [CH 1] What is it?
For centuries scientists have been trying to understand what makes "good" people turn "bad." In 1971, an experiment lead by Philip Zimbardo at Stanford University and other researchers, selected 24 normal college students to be prisoners and 51 to be guards in a mock prison--commonly known as the Stanford Prison Experiment. The results were shocking. In only six days, the guards had become so abusive that the study was shutdown. The leading officers "adapted to their roles" even more than Zimbardo had dreamed--even torturing prisoners. Some of the prisoners developed "passive attitudes" and accepted the physical abuse inflicted by the guards. Even Zimbardo thought of himself as the "Prison Superintendent" and allowed the abuse to continue for longer than it should have (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanford_prison_experiment).
The Lucifer Effect happens when people choose to change their thoughts or actions based on suggestions and the journey (or the chain of actions and reactions) leaves more bad than good results. Suggestions can be direct or implied and can come from a variety of sources i. e. our environments, advertisements, movies, books, other information, other people, groups of people, and society.
One hotly debated moral issue asks is torturing worth the information? Some will say no because the act allows the desire for cruelty to grow inside a person or society. Historically, human beings have been gruesomely cruel like when the Huguenots "hacked to pieces" Catholic children, disemboweled a priest, and buried another priest alive around 1607. Still others will say yes because of terrorists who are willing to shed innocent blood. Those others will argue that the "ticking time bomb scenario" is the only justifiable case. However, we are left with some very critical questions: What will the results make us feel? What will other countries and people feel towards us? Will there be more "justifiable" scenarios to come? If so, how many and when will the cruelty come to an end?

Watch Out For Rouge Waves! [CH 1]
Legend tells of waves the size of a "10-story building" that can appear "without warning" in the middle of the ocean. They can resist "prevailing current and wave direction" or appear on a perfectly clear day. The trough of the wave--that is, the dip before and after--is a "hole in the sea." Rogue waves can exert up to "980 kPa (142 psi)" as the water breaks on the deck and hull. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogue_wave).
Is the ocean safe? A rogue wave capsizes the ship in the movie Poseidon (2006), forcing passengers to climb through the hull of ship and escape. Although movies are exaggerated, many ships have been capsized and broken by the extreme, crushing pressure of the sinister wave. The European Space Agency (ESA) used their satellites to spot 10 humongous wave and each was over "25m (81ft)" tall. They estimate that in the last twenty years over "200 cargo ships" have sank. Wolfgang Rosenthal, of the GKSS Research Centre in Geesthacht, Germany estimates that at least "two" large vessels "every week on average" have been lost, but, because the reason is not investigated as thoroughly as airplane crashes, most losses are attributed to "bad weather" (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/3917539.stm).
