his country to get a jump ahead of the Soviet Union, which had experimented with
related technology? Only they know for sure, Some of Eastlund's research was

supported by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) under the
project title "Alaska North Slope Electric Missile Shield".

The United States already had smaller antennae in several locations, for
experiments in bouncing radio waves off the ionosphere. With a bigger tool than
anyone else and the ability to focus its beam, the United States military could fry
incoming missiles, disrupt global communications, change the chemical
composition of the upper atmosphere and even engineer weather by redirecting very
high wind patterns (jet streams).
Other tricks which his invention could do would be debated a few years later.
"Earth-penetrating tomography", (scanning the earth with radiations bounced off the
sky - basically, X-raying the ground in a search for tunnels and hidden caches) is a
use which would show up in the National Defense Authorization Act for 1995. And
there are possible uses that are more futuristic than the tomography.

In the 1980's it wasn't an easy sell to the patent office, however. When he
applied for the first of several patents on his ionospheric- heater invention, the
patent examiner told Eastlund that his invention sounded like science fiction.
Eastlund replied that the technology was all known. Step-by-step, he backed up his
claims with paperwork that proved that the technology was possible. Then the
government officials were impressed. But before the document moved out into the
public literature in 1991, the Navy first slapped a Secrecy Order on his U.S. patent
number 5,038,664 for a year. That patent told how to make a "shell of relativistic
particles" high in the sky. "Relativistic" particles travel at near the speed of light.
When Eastlund had the military's attention, the Pentagon opened its
pocketbook and spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on the initial study of his
claims. Eastlund said in a 1988 radio interview that the defense department had done a
lot of work on his concepts, but he was not at liberty to give details. He later told
Manning that after he had worked within ARCO foT a year and applied for patents,
Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA) had combed through his
theories then issued a contract for him to study how to generate the relativistic
electrons in the ionosphere.

After 1986 he was off the ARCO payroll, before the invention drew much
lire in the media. Its first major publicity was in 1988, the year after one of his
patents on the system - how to beam huge amounts of electromagnetic energy to
selected regions of the upper atmosphere48 - was made public.

The publicized patent was titled "A Method and Apparatus for Altering a
Region of the Earth's Atmosphere, Ionosphere and Magnetosphere". Eastlund told
Alex Chadwick of National Public Radio that the patent should have been kept under
government secrecy. He said he had been unhappy that it was issued publicly, but, as
