Is this what the late Walter Richmond knew, that had to be placed under the
Secrecy Act? If the electrical power of the ionosphere avalanched onto Earth in a
continuous flow, his book's character said, it would
"burn hell out of the spot where it touched Earth Empty the capacitor that's
the ionosphere, and feed directly from the solar wind. Earth's an electrical
motor...When the motor began to run wild, it would increase its rotational
speed...Eventually the Earth would explode from increased centrifugal stress."
Manning read the novel's description of the fiery, steamy noisy destruction
of a planet. "A shock wave, racing at the speed of sound...toppling great cities..."
Destruction continued for days, and the planet "whipped about on its axis like a thing
tortured." The Richmonds' novel vividly raised questions about the wisdom of
pulsing
a radio-frequency beam which could make an ionized (and therefore electrically-
conducting) channel between earth and the ionosphere.
Even if there were no danger of accidentally tapping into the ionospheric
powerhouse and getting zapped in return, disrupting a part of the upper atmosphere
violently is in itself a dangerous experiment, she later was told by independent
scientists.32 Ionospheric heaters were nothing new, Manning had learned from
articles sent her from Gregory. However, Eastlund's invention made it possible to
stab the ionosphere with a much more powerful and more focused beam.
A few years later Gregory telephoned and said in a choked voice, "The
maniacs are actually going to do it. In Alaska."
The U.S. Navy and Air Force would be paying a contractor, Arco Power
Technologies Inc., to build a super-powerful ionospheric heater - an array of
antennae - in the Alaskan bush outside of Anchorage. Over the next year Gregory
mailed her articles, on ionospheric heaters and related topics, which he found in
science journals dating back to the 1970's. He gave her the phone number for a man
named Clare Zickuhr in Anchorage. Gregory became increasingly angry and
pessimistic about the state of his planet's health, and eventually sent his entire file
on ionospheric heaters to her. "I give up. I've written to everyone I could think of.
You're a journalist; do something with this."
His words and the thought of what he called "mad science in our sky"
weighed on her, but she was again employed as a reporter for a daily newspaper in a
British Columbia city and had no time for starting any campaign. One day she
photocopied excerpts from the file, wrote an introductory page, and gave the packet
to the managing editor at the newspaper. He sent it to the newspaper chain's
columnist in Ottawa, but the man never published a word about ionospheric
experiments.
In early 1994 she telephoned a reporter at the Anchorage paper; Gregory had
said the man was writing an article about the project that would beam so much power
up to the ionosphere for military experiments. In a discouraged tone of voice the
