The Mirage project would station a microwave transmitter on the ground then launch a small rocket into the atmosphere that would release plasma throughout the ionosphere. The plasma would modify the number of electrons within a selected area of the ionosphere, thereby creating a virtual communications barrier. This would benefit the military in two ways: the enemy’s communication with satellites would be hindered, and the highly charged ionosphere would allow for better radar relays on our side. The initial phase of the project is complete.<br><br><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.defensetech.org/archives/002163.html">Air Force Aims For Weather Control</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--> [DefenseTech] <p></p><i></i>
