site also received a $30 million upgrade as a part of a national defense bill passed by
the Congress in the early 1990'sl25 when Dr. Syun-Ichi Akasofu declared, "We plan
to build the best upper atmospheric research facility in the world."126

Public relations communications on HAARP, during 1993 and 1994 denied
that the project was formally tied to the Poker Flat Rocket range. During 1992 the Air
Force funded, under a separate program, the launch of a 17,000 pound rocket carrying
a payload of 2,770 pounds. The Spirit 11 rocket was used to send a high-tech telescope
about 205 miles above the Earth to measure emissions from auroral displays. The
Geophysical Institute disclosed that "Researchers at Hanscom Air Force Base in
Massachusetts plan to use the measurements as a part of a larger Strategic Defense
Initiative Organization (commonly known as Star Wars) study on atmospheric
disturbances. Studying infrared light is important because it can prevent some Air
Force satellites from being able to detect targets, other satellites, or clutter in space,
just as city lights can prevent people from seeing stars in the sky." 127 A number of
otheT military projects have been reported in the Geophysical Institute's publications
which, although they were funded separately, produced information crucial to the
planned uses of HAARP. Many of these kinds of projects are revealed throughout this
book.

At the same time that the HAARP project started, and the Poker Flat
upgrades were funded the University also received, again under separate
Congressional funding, $25 million foT a Cray Supercomputer which the military
indicated was also not "formally" tied to HAARP. 128 However, upon investigating,
it was determined that this computer would be committed to 30% Defense Department
uses. While the military couched their wording in ways that deflected interest away
from these facts, the records were clear. What was not so clear was why they were not
just saying yes, they were going to use all of these systems, yes, these systems
interface with this hardware while being funded under separate programsl29 as
indicated in their own planning documents. It just didn't add up; what was the big deal
anyway?
In a letter to one of Alaska's legislators, the public relations man for
HAARP, John Heckscher, stated that "the HAARP program is not formally tied to the
Poker Flat Rocker Range, nor to the new super-computer at the University of
Alaska... However, the research capabilities associated with those excellent facilities
will undoubtedly be of interest and use to scientists using the HAARP facility."130
John Heckscher was at the military planning sessions which clearly described the use
of these other facilities, The summary of those meetings, in 1990 and 1991,
contained the following: "the incoherent scatter radar facility, envisioned to
complement the planned new HF heater, is currently being funded in a separate DoD
