Ascension Island: Installations and Electromagnetic Projects
Introduction:
Ascension Island is a remote mid-Atlantic outpost (about 8°S latitude) jointly used by the UK and US for military, communication, and research purposes. Despite its small size, the island hosts a surprising array of antennas, radars, and facilities. This report surveys (1) known military/government installations, (2) electromagnetic and RF research activities, (3) claims of weather or jet-stream manipulation linked to Ascension, and (4) the peculiar case of Hurricane Erin in September 2001 and related 9/11 theories. We present documented facts alongside independent researchers’ theories, with citations to both scientific sources and alternative investigative reports.
1. Military and Government Installations on Ascension Island
Ascension’s Strategic Role:
Ascension has been a strategic communication and tracking hub since WWII. Today it is operated as RAF Ascension Island (Wideawake Airfield), a joint UK-US base that only permits military or official aircraft (RAF Ascension Island – Wikipedia). The base is a “Permanent Joint Operating Base” under British command, but it also hosts the United States Space Force (formerly USAF) Eastern Range tracking station (RAF Ascension Island – Wikipedia). This unique partnership allows Ascension to serve as a mid-Atlantic link for space missions, missile tests, and vital communications.
Radar and Tracking Facilities:
(image Ascension Island’s Cat Hill site with radomes (the “Golf Ball” antenna) overlooking base facilities (RAF Ascension Island – Wikipedia). Ascension’s Target Tracking Radar Station at Cat Hill was originally built in 1960–61 as part of the U.S. Nike Zeus anti-ballistic missile test program (RAF Ascension Island – Wikipedia). A large radome (“Golf Ball”) housed a precision C-band radar to track missile re-entry vehicles launched from Florida (RAF Ascension Island – Wikipedia). This radar later supported NASA’s Apollo missions and continues to support rocket launches from Cape Canaveral as part of Space Force Detachment 2, 45th Mission Support Group (RAF Ascension Island – Wikipedia). In addition, a collimation tower was installed near English Bay to calibrate the radar (RAF Ascension Island – Wikipedia). These facilities, now upgraded, provide radar tracking, telemetry reception, and space surveillance for the Eastern Range (Chugach is Providing Radar Tracking, Telemetry and Other Support on Ascension Island Airfield | AFCEA International) (Chugach is Providing Radar Tracking, Telemetry and Other Support on Ascension Island Airfield | AFCEA International). Ascension’s trackers can follow rockets, satellites, or incoming warheads, and indeed a 2020 U.S. contract confirms the island supports “radar tracking, space surveillance tracking, [and] telemetry” among other operations (Chugach is Providing Radar Tracking, Telemetry and Other Support on Ascension Island Airfield | AFCEA International).
Communication and Relay Stations:
Ascension is also a powerhouse for radio communications. At the north end (English Bay) lies the BBC Atlantic Relay Station, a major shortwave broadcast facility. Installed in the mid-1960s, it uses six high-power transmitters (each 250 kW) to beam BBC World Service programs across Africa (“Managing SW Broadcasts From Ascension Island” | The SWLing Post). Encompass Digital Media now operates this station, which can reach an estimated 30 million listeners (“Managing SW Broadcasts From Ascension Island” | The SWLing Post). The antenna farm is extensive – over 100 antenna masts and curtain arrays cover the volcanic plain – forming an imposing “antenna forest” on the landscape. (File:ASCENSION ISLAND BBC RELAY STATION.jpg – Wikimedia Commons) Massive shortwave curtain antennas at the BBC Atlantic Relay Station (English Bay) (“Managing SW Broadcasts From Ascension Island” | The SWLing Post). The presence of such powerful HF transmitters (in use for decades) means Ascension continuously pumps out strong radio-frequency (RF) energy to the ionosphere as part of its broadcasting mission.
In addition to broadcasting, Ascension hosts a Defence High Frequency Communications Service (DHFCS) station for the UK Ministry of Defence (RAF Ascension Island – Wikipedia). This consists of paired HF transmitter and receiver sites on the island (one at the airfield, one at Donkey Plain) providing long-range shortwave communications for the UK military and NATO (Defence High Frequency Communications Service – Wikipedia) (Defence High Frequency Communications Service – Wikipedia). Under contract to Babcock International, the DHFCS station allows strategic real-time links to ships, submarines, and aircraft via HF radio (Defence High Frequency Communications Service – Wikipedia) (Defence High Frequency Communications Service – Wikipedia). Notably, Ascension’s DHFCS links with the US High Frequency Global Communications System, reflecting its integration into a worldwide network (Defence High Frequency Communications Service – Wikipedia) (Defence High Frequency Communications Service – Wikipedia).
Other Infrastructure:
Over the years, NASA and other agencies built additional facilities. A NASA Tracking Station at Devil’s Ashpit was established in the 1960s to support the Apollo missions and early satellites (RAF Ascension Island – Wikipedia). A Cable & Wireless satellite Earth Station at Donkey Plain, opened around the same time, was used to beam data (via the Early Bird satellite) back to the US (RAF Ascension Island – Wikipedia). These sites helped route astronaut voice communications and telemetry during the space race. Although those specific operations ceased, the infrastructure laid the groundwork for Ascension’s continuing role in space communications. In fact, Ascension was considered as a site for the next-generation “Space Fence” radar to track orbital debris – plans around 2010 envisioned a giant S-band radar on Ascension powered partly by the island’s steady trade winds (Green Energy Eyed for Space Fence | Air & Space Forces Magazine) (Green Energy Eyed for Space Fence | Air & Space Forces Magazine). (Ultimately, the first new Space Fence was built in the Pacific, and any Ascension installation remains on hold (Green Energy Eyed for Space Fence | Air & Space Forces Magazine).) The island also houses a geomagnetic observatory: the British Geological Survey operates the Ascension Magnetic Observatory, which monitors Earth’s magnetic field and hosts an online VLF (very low frequency) receiver (somalia amateur radio – 9. Somalia photos 9 and Free VLF radio receiver) (somalia amateur radio – 9. Somalia photos 9 and Free VLF radio receiver). This observatory, along with CTBTO seismic/hydroacoustic sensors in the surrounding ocean, highlights Ascension’s value for global monitoring. In summary, the known official installations on Ascension Island include an airbase with multiple radar systems, high-power communication transmitters, and scientific monitoring stations – all of which produce or measure electromagnetic emissions as part of their normal function.
2. Electromagnetic and RF Research on Ascension Island
Ionospheric and RF Science:
Given its equatorial proximity, Ascension is a key location for studying the ionosphere and radio propagation. Since the Cold War era, the U.S. Air Force and academic researchers have deployed instruments there to investigate phenomena like ionospheric scintillation – rapid fluctuations in radio signal strength caused by plasma irregularities in the upper atmosphere. For example, in the early 1980s scientists collected multi-frequency L-band and C-band scintillation data at Ascension to characterize how turbulence in the equatorial ionosphere affects communications (Multifrequency study of ionospheric scintillation at Ascension Island – Franke – 1984 – Radio Science – Wiley Online Library). The Air Force Research Laboratory later measured GPS satellite signal disturbances (at the 1.575 GHz L1 frequency) from Ascension as part of its efforts to understand and mitigate ionospheric effects on navigation systems (A comparison of TEC fluctuations and scintillations at Ascension Island). These studies found Ascension experiences some of the world’s strongest L-band scintillations after local sunset, due to the equatorial anomaly (ISR News & Notes – Boston College) (A comparison of TEC fluctuations and scintillations at Ascension Island). In addition to passive monitoring, Ascension likely hosts an ionosonde (HF radar that “sounds” the ionosphere) to provide real-time data on ionospheric electron densities, which is valuable for HF communications and space weather forecasting. All this legitimate research underscores that Ascension’s location makes it a natural laboratory for electromagnetic (EM) phenomena in the atmosphere.
Routine Electromagnetic Emissions:
Several Ascension installations emit powerful RF energy by design. The BBC shortwave station’s six 250 kW transmitters send out megawatts ERP (effective radiated power) when aimed at target regions (“Managing SW Broadcasts From Ascension Island” | The SWLing Post). These HF broadcasts inevitably also bounce off the ionosphere, contributing to the RF environment. Similarly, military HF transmitters (DHFCS) and UHF satellite links from the airfield generate RF signals that can propagate globally. The radars at Ascension (tracking radars and any potential space-surveillance sensors) emit pulses in microwave bands. For instance, the old Cat Hill radar was C-band; newer systems may include L-band or S-band feeds for space-object tracking. There is also speculation of VLF/ELF usage: while the island does not host a known VLF submarine transmitter (the US uses stations in Maine and elsewhere for that (Defence High Frequency Communications Service – Wikipedia)), the ground itself (volcanic rock with poor conductivity) could allow experiments in Earth-coupled ELF propagation – an idea once floated for global communication or detection systems (somalia amateur radio – 9. Somalia photos 9 and Free VLF radio receiver) (somalia amateur radio – 9. Somalia photos 9 and Free VLF radio receiver). Ascension’s magnetic observatory detects natural and artificial signals across the spectrum from 0 Hz up to VLF (somalia amateur radio – 9. Somalia photos 9 and Free VLF radio receiver) (somalia amateur radio – 9. Somalia photos 9 and Free VLF radio receiver), contributing data on lightning (“whistlers”), geomagnetic storms, and even monitoring for clandestine nuclear tests. None of these activities are inherently nefarious – they are standard scientific and military operations – but they do mean Ascension is enveloped in a constant web of radio waves and electromagnetic activity.
HAARP-Like Research Programs?
A key question is whether Ascension hosts any ionospheric “heater” or other facility analogous to HAARP (the High-Frequency Active Auroral Research Program in Alaska). Publicly, no HAARP transmitter on Ascension is acknowledged. HAARP involves an array of antennas transmitting up to 3.6 MW of HF power straight into the ionosphere to induce controlled disturbances. Ascension’s HF arrays (BBC/DHFCS) are not known to be used in this way – they are oriented for communications, not vertical heating, and lack the beam-steering capability of HAARP. However, the presence of so many powerful transmitters in one remote place has naturally invited speculation. Some researchers note that high-power HF stations could be repurposed in theory. In fact, the UK’s DHFCS and the US HFGCS networks allow the militaries to broadcast on HF frequencies worldwide (Defence High Frequency Communications Service – Wikipedia) (Defence High Frequency Communications Service – Wikipedia), and the signals from Ascension could reach the ionospheric electrojet (a current along the magnetic equator) which might cause localized effects. There is scientific precedent for using RF to probe the ionosphere – e.g. the Soviet “Woodpecker” radar in the 1970s inadvertently injected megawatts into the atmosphere and raised concerns in the West about possible mind effects (RADIO WAVES STUDIED FOR ARMS POTENTIAL – CIA). A declassified CIA assessment in the 1980s noted that Soviet experiments with high-power radio waves were believed to attempt “‘mind control’ or ‘electronic induction of illness’,” though ultimately these attempts were deemed unsuccessful (RADIO WAVES STUDIED FOR ARMS POTENTIAL – CIA). This illustrates that the military potential of EM waves (from influencing weather to human behavior) has been pondered for decades.
Independent and Alternative Reports:
Independent investigators and “anomaly hunters” have paid close attention to Ascension’s EM footprint. YouTube analyst Michael Janitch (Dutchsinse), for example, has tracked unusual bursts of energy on weather satellite imagery. In one case, he reported a “large, strange microwave energy pulse” hitting Earth that coincided with a storm’s sudden dissipation (dutchsinse Archives – Stillness in the Storm). Such a pulse was not from Ascension specifically (it was observed near New Zealand), but it demonstrates the kind of EM anomaly that fuels speculation – a burst of microwave or RF energy seemingly affecting weather. Dutchsinse and others have raised the possibility that similar pulses might originate from strategically placed transmitters around the world. Ascension, with its “epicenter of HAARP-like” facilities, often figures into these discussions. Some point to odd radar patterns and “blobs” near Ascension on satellite maps. For instance, independent researcher Rev. Michelle Hopkins claimed in 2013 to have observed a “Tesla Tech Array” firing from Ascension. She described a “hydroacoustic South Atlantic diamond flare” – essentially a diamond-shaped wave pattern on data readouts – centered on Ascension Island (Under an Ionized Sky: From Chemtrails to Space Fence Lockdown). This was interpreted by her as evidence of a clandestine EM weapon or weather-control device operating there. While the terminology is unconventional (mixing Tesla, hydroacoustic, and HAARP concepts), the assertion is that Ascension hosts a powerful transmitter capable of causing large-scale atmospheric or oceanic disturbances.
Critics note that these supposed “flashes” or “blobs” could be artifacts – e.g. interference patterns in satellite data or natural ionospheric disturbances (Ascension sits under the South Atlantic Anomaly, where Earth’s radiation belts dip close to the surface). Nonetheless, the island’s reputation in conspiracy circles as a “microwave atmospheric blaster” remains. One recent commentary described Ascension as a “well-known epicenter of HAARP-like and other microwave atmospheric blasters”, citing it as a source of mysterious radiation patterns during a solar eclipse event (The Judy Wood enigma: a discussion a polarizing figure in 9/11 …). Another writer, Elana Freeland, who investigates geoengineering, highlights Ascension’s role in what she terms the emerging “Space Fence” – a conjectured integrated system of ionospheric heaters and space radars. Freeland notes that Ascension (halfway between the equator and South Pole) is ideally placed to partner with Antarctica’s facilities (Operation Deep Freeze) in an Atlantic-Antarctic HAARP network (Under an Ionized Sky: From Chemtrails to Space Fence Lockdown) (Under an Ionized Sky: From Chemtrails to Space Fence Lockdown). In her 2018 book, she quotes a former HAARP technician (“Billy Hayes”) as saying once Ascension’s array and the Antarctic station are “up and running”, agencies will be able to fine-tune weather manipulation in the Atlantic just as (he claims) had been done in the Pacific (Under an Ionized Sky: From Chemtrails to Space Fence Lockdown) (Under an Ionized Sky: From Chemtrails to Space Fence Lockdown). These claims are highly speculative and not corroborated by official data – no “ionospheric heating” experiments from Ascension have ever been announced. But the belief persists in some quarters that Ascension Island might hide experimental directed-energy systems, possibly used to influence weather patterns or even human behavior (the classic “EM mind control” trope). It is important to emphasize that no concrete public evidence of mind-control experiments on Ascension exists; such ideas stem from the general knowledge that strong ELF waves can affect brain waves and the historical curiosity of projects like the “Moscow Signal” and MK-ULTRA. In summary, Ascension is deeply woven into EM research – both real (communication and space physics) and imagined (secret Tesla arrays and HAARP clones) – making it a focal point for those studying the weaponization of the ionosphere.
3. Weather Modification and Jet Stream Alteration Theories
Scientific Perspective:
From a mainstream scientific standpoint, there is no documented program that uses Ascension Island to control weather or redirect the jet stream. However, scientists have indeed studied how Ascension’s environment is influenced by broader atmospheric currents. For instance, the island lies downwind of Africa’s vast smoke plumes and under the path of the African Easterly Jet, affecting cloud formation over the Atlantic (The Ascension Island Boundary Layer in the Remote Southeast …). Field campaigns (like the 2016 LASIC project) deployed aerosol and cloud profilers on Ascension to see how pollution and wind patterns alter marine clouds (Instruments Deployed on Ascension Island | The Layered Atlan…). These studies are aimed at understanding climate processes, not modifying them. Any active weather modification (e.g. cloud seeding, hurricane steering) from Ascension has not been acknowledged by institutions. That said, the powerful transmitters on the island inevitably radiate energy into the atmosphere, which in theory could have small localized effects – heating the lower ionosphere or triggering minor perturbations. High-frequency radio waves can influence the ionospheric plasma, and extremely low frequency (ELF) waves can interact with the global electric circuit. But scaling that up to meaningful weather control is not supported by peer-reviewed research. It’s noteworthy that even HAARP, often accused of weather manipulation, was primarily designed for ionospheric physics experiments and cannot directly control tropospheric weather according to the scientific consensus.
Independent Weather Anomaly Reports:
Despite the lack of official programs, independent observers have pointed to intriguing correlations. One observation is the persistence of unusual stationary circular weather radar patterns (“HAARP rings” or “scalar squares”) in various parts of the world that some attribute to hidden transmitters. If any such pattern were noted near Ascension (for example, a concentric ring of clouds or abrupt outflow boundaries emanating from its vicinity), it would fuel the idea that Ascension is emitting something affecting weather. YouTube and blog communities have shared satellite animations where a burst of microwave energy seems to impact a developing storm system. Dutchsinse documented cases where a beam or frequency flash on moisture mapping tools (MIMIC-TPW) was followed by the weakening of a cyclone, suggesting a possible intervention (dutchsinse Archives – Stillness in the Storm). Extrapolating from that, one theory posits a global grid of transmitter stations – possibly including Ascension – that can inject energy into weather systems to alter their course or intensity.
One oft-cited example is from late 2012: weather watchers claimed an “anomalous wave” emerged near 72°W, 8°S (roughly Ascension’s longitude) coincident with changes in the jet stream pattern. This coincided with discussions of unusual jet stream behavior and extreme weather in Europe/North America. While such internet claims are hard to verify (they rely on interpreting noisy meteorological data), they keep Ascension in the conversation about geoengineering. Elana Freeland and others theorize that Ascension’s role is to work in tandem with polar atmospheric heaters to pin or shift the jet stream. By heating regions of the upper atmosphere, one can create high-pressure domes that reroute the high-level winds. Freeland specifically suggests that as of mid-2010s, “hurricanes [in the Pacific] are being broken up… as soon as [Ascension] and [Antarctica’s station] are up and running, we’ll see the same in the Atlantic”, indicating a belief that Western militaries can now mitigate Atlantic hurricanes too (Under an Ionized Sky: From Chemtrails to Space Fence Lockdown). She notes that dozens of sounding rockets have been launched from sites like Vandenberg AFB releasing chemicals (e.g. aluminum oxide) in the upper atmosphere – allegedly to enhance the conductivity of the atmosphere as part of a “Space Fence” system (Under an Ionized Sky: From Chemtrails to Space Fence Lockdown) (Under an Ionized Sky: From Chemtrails to Space Fence Lockdown). In this narrative, Ascension would serve as a key node that energizes the ionized atmosphere over the South Atlantic, influencing weather downstream.
Ascension and the Jet Stream:
The mid-Atlantic location means Ascension is not directly under the typical mid-latitude jet stream (which is far to the north). However, it could influence the subtropical jet or Hadley cell boundaries if significant energy were deposited into the atmosphere. Independent researchers have speculated that anomalies like the “South Atlantic Anomaly” (a region of weakened magnetosphere above Ascension) could be exploited to inject energy more efficiently. For example, if one wanted to alter wind patterns over the South Atlantic, one might target frequencies that couple into the ionospheric currents or weather systems originating off Africa’s coast. Some have even gone as far as to link Ascension’s transmissions to global climate events – suggesting, for instance, that sudden stratospheric warmings or polar vortex disturbances might be artificially induced by coordinated RF bursts from sites like HAARP Alaska, Tromsø Norway, and Ascension Island working in unison. These ideas remain speculative and are not found in conventional meteorology literature.
In summary, no concrete evidence of jet-stream manipulation from Ascension exists in scientific publications, but the island frequently appears in geoengineering theories. Its combination of powerful RF infrastructure and strategic location is seen as too convenient to be merely for communication. Persistent independent investigators (such as the YouTuber known as “Dutchsinse” and authors on platforms like 21st Century Wire and Substack) continue to monitor Ascension for any sign of “weather warfare” – be it unusual cloud patterns, sudden high-frequency RF emissions, or correlations with weather extremes. They treat Ascension Island as a possible “trigger point” in a planetary system of climate control. To date, this remains in the realm of conjecture. Officially, any atmospheric or weather effects observed around Ascension (like changes in cloud cover due to aerosols or slight heating from transmitters) are considered either unintended side-effects or natural phenomena, rather than part of a deliberate weather modification program.
4. Hurricane Erin (2001) and 9/11: Evidence and Theories
Hurricane Erin’s Path and Research Flights:
In early September 2001, Hurricane Erin was the first major hurricane of the Atlantic season. It developed on September 1, 2001 and tracked northwest. By September 10–11, Erin was a Category 3 hurricane spinning just off the U.S. East Coast – in fact, on the morning of September 11, 2001, Erin was at its closest approach to New York City, roughly 500 miles east of Long Island. It was an unusually large storm system (even larger in size than 2005’s Hurricane Katrina) (New Study by former Professor Examines Hurricane Erin on 9/11/01 — Double-Click Services Ltd | PRLog) (New Study by former Professor Examines Hurricane Erin on 9/11/01 — Double-Click Services Ltd | PRLog). Yet, notably, the American media paid almost no attention to Erin on 9/11, as the terror attacks dominated the news. Erin never made landfall; it began veering away into the North Atlantic later on September 11. NASA and NOAA, however, were very much aware of Erin – not for ominous reasons, but for scientific opportunity. In August–September 2001, a major hurricane research project, CAMEX-4 (Convection And Moisture Experiment), was underway. NASA had two research aircraft (a DC-8 and a high-altitude ER-2 spy plane) operating from Jacksonville NAS to study hurricanes in conjunction with satellite overpasses (15th Anniversary of CAMEX-4 – NOAA’s Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory) (NASA Makes A Heated 3-D Look Into Hurricane Erin’s Eye | ScienceDaily). Hurricane Erin became one of the focal storms for CAMEX-4. On September 10, 2001 (just one day before the 9/11 attacks), scientists flew an extensive mission into Erin’s eye. Twenty dropsonde probes were released into Erin’s core from as high as 70,000 feet, marking the first time ever that the 3D structure of a hurricane’s eye was measured down to the ocean surface from such altitude (NASA Makes A Heated 3-D Look Into Hurricane Erin’s Eye | ScienceDaily) (NASA Makes A Heated 3-D Look Into Hurricane Erin’s Eye | ScienceDaily). The data revealed Erin’s inner warm-core was weakening due to wind shear, causing the storm to slowly collapse (NASA Makes A Heated 3-D Look Into Hurricane Erin’s Eye | ScienceDaily). By 9/11, Erin’s peak winds had diminished from 120 mph to around 100 mph. In short, the U.S. Navy and NASA did fly research sorties into Hurricane Erin (with Navy air bases providing support and NOAA personnel involved), but these flights were part of routine hurricane science – aimed at improving forecast models and understanding storm physics (NASA Makes A Heated 3-D Look Into Hurricane Erin’s Eye | ScienceDaily) (NASA Makes A Heated 3-D Look Into Hurricane Erin’s Eye | ScienceDaily). The official record portrays Erin as a meteorological event that was closely studied and that luckily curved out to sea without incident.
Conspiracy Theories Involving Erin and 9/11:
Because Hurricane Erin was virtually absent from media coverage on 9/11, some theorists found its proximity suspicious. Dr. Judy Wood, a former engineering professor turned independent 9/11 investigator, famously highlighted Hurricane Erin in her analysis of the World Trade Center destruction. In a detailed study posted in 2008, Wood pointed to “field effects” associated with hurricanes that might have a connection to the unusual evidence at Ground Zero (New Study by former Professor Examines Hurricane Erin on 9/11/01 — Double-Click Services Ltd | PRLog) (New Study by former Professor Examines Hurricane Erin on 9/11/01 — Double-Click Services Ltd | PRLog). She noted that on the morning of 9/11, Erin’s giant spiral was clearly visible on satellite images just off New York, with its outer bands potentially visible from the city (skies were notably blue but hazy) (New Study by former Professor Examines Hurricane Erin on 9/11/01 — Double-Click Services Ltd | PRLog). Photographs taken on 9/11 from space even show Hurricane Erin’s cloud shield and the smoke plume from the WTC in the same frame (New Study by former Professor Examines Hurricane Erin on 9/11/01 — Double-Click Services Ltd | PRLog). Wood’s hypothesis does not claim Erin caused the 9/11 tragedy, but rather asks if some energy connection existed. She catalogs eerie parallels between effects observed in the WTC debris (steel beams turned to dust, cars oddly burned, papers unscorched) and the laboratory phenomena known as the Hutchison Effect (New Study by former Professor Examines Hurricane Erin on 9/11/01 — Double-Click Services Ltd | PRLog) (New Study by former Professor Examines Hurricane Erin on 9/11/01 — Double-Click Services Ltd | PRLog). The Hutchison Effect, named after inventor John Hutchison, involves anomalous EM effects like levitation of objects, spontaneous melting of metal, and weird electrical fires when multiple high-voltage and RF sources interact. Wood and Hutchison co-authored a paper drawing these parallels, suggesting that directed energy weapons may have been used on 9/11 to pulverize materials in a way conventional explosives could not (New Study by former Professor Examines Hurricane Erin on 9/11/01 — Double-Click Services Ltd | PRLog) (New Study by former Professor Examines Hurricane Erin on 9/11/01 — Double-Click Services Ltd | PRLog). In this context, Hurricane Erin’s enormous electromagnetic field (as a rotating storm) could have been a natural “energy source” that a technology tapped into.
One of the most striking pieces of data Wood presents is the record of magnetometer readings on 9/11. Magnetometers operated by the University of Alaska (which monitor Earth’s geomagnetic field) showed unusual spikes and deviations during the timeframe of the WTC collapse (New Study by former Professor Examines Hurricane Erin on 9/11/01 — Double-Click Services Ltd | PRLog). These deviations were far beyond normal background variations and seemed to correlate with the exact times of the tower destructions. Wood asks whether the hurricane’s magnetic field – interacting with the ionosphere and Earth’s field – might have been modulated or influenced at those moments. Essentially, did some entity use Erin’s presence as a cover or conduit for a directed-energy weapon (DEW)? This theory ventures into fringe science: it implies a weapon that can draw on environmental energy (a concept somewhat akin to Tesla’s ideas of wireless power transmission or a “Tesla coil” on a atmospheric scale). Wood stops short of drawing firm conclusions, but she raises the possibility that technologies exist “to utilize or manipulate the energy in [storm] systems for ‘secondary’ purposes” (New Study by former Professor Examines Hurricane Erin on 9/11/01 — Double-Click Services Ltd | PRLog). She even compares a supercell thunderstorm to a Tesla coil in structure, hinting that a hurricane’s electrical environment could be analogous – potentially providing a vast reservoir of power if one knew how to tap it (New Study by former Professor Examines Hurricane Erin on 9/11/01 — Double-Click Services Ltd | PRLog).
Other theorists outside of Wood’s work have speculated more directly. Some have posited that HAARP itself (in Alaska) was used to help steer Hurricane Erin or hold it offshore on 9/11. A comment on one 9/11 truth forum bluntly stated: “HAARP was probably steering Hurricane Erin. If things would have gone differently, NYC might have faced a hurricane on the same day” (The Judy Wood enigma: a discussion a polarizing figure in 9/11 …). No evidence was given, but the implication is that whoever orchestrated 9/11 did not want the chaos compounded by a natural disaster – thus they allegedly used weather control to ensure Erin stayed away (or conversely, that Erin was kept nearby as a potential failsafe). Some tie this into the fact that September 2001 saw very few Atlantic hurricanes (Erin was the only major one until much later), which they attribute to secret weather mod programs suppressing storms. Additionally, Dr. Wood’s 9/11 case touches on mind control: she filed a Qui Tam lawsuit against NIST’s contractors, accusing them of covering up evidence of directed-energy technology (New Study by former Professor Examines Hurricane Erin on 9/11/01 — Double-Click Services Ltd | PRLog). In that context, it’s noted that if such technology exists, it could also have psychological warfare applications – raising the specter of EM “mind control”. While that goes beyond the scope of Hurricane Erin, it shows how these themes converge. The CIA’s observation about Soviet RF experiments attempting mind control (and failing) (RADIO WAVES STUDIED FOR ARMS POTENTIAL – CIA) is often cited to remind us that world powers did explore these pathways.
In evaluating the Hurricane Erin / 9/11 theories, the facts are: Hurricane Erin was real, large, and coincident with 9/11; it was studied by scientists with advanced instrumentation; and some curious data (like magnetometer spikes) were recorded that day. The leap to a directed energy weapon scenario, however, is not supported by mainstream science. The official explanation for the WTC collapses involves structural failure due to impact and fire, with no role for hurricanes or exotic weapons. Judy Wood’s theory, detailed in her book “Where Did the Towers Go?”, remains controversial even within the 9/11 Truth community. Some critics find the hurricane connection too speculative, while others credit her for exploring new angles. Importantly, Wood did not claim HAARP or Ascension Island were used on 9/11 – she focused more on evidence of a field-effect weapon on-site. But later conspiracy discussions have woven a larger narrative that HAARP-like arrays (maybe including Ascension’s) plus a Hurricane = 9/11 destruction mechanism. It’s a fringe idea, to be sure.
Hurricane Erin’s Energy in Context:
To tie this back to Ascension Island: if one believes that directed-energy technology was employed on 9/11 and that a hurricane’s EM field was somehow involved, one might ask where could such technology be based? Ascension becomes a candidate in theories that require a mid-Atlantic transmitter or relay. Some have speculated that signals from Gakona (HAARP Alaska) could bounce off the ionosphere to Ascension and then be redirected to NYC – a highly fanciful multi-hop scheme with no proof. Others think Ascension’s own emissions (like from the BBC station or an unknown array) might have created an EM interference zone that interacted with Earth’s magnetic field during 9/11. These conjectures illustrate how Ascension Island finds its way into even the 9/11 directed-energy conversation, despite being thousands of miles from New York.
In the realm of weather modification, Hurricane Erin also serves as a case study for what could be possible. If, hypothetically, Erin’s intensity was artificially reduced by some external means on 9/11 (as conspiracists suggest), it would represent one of the earliest uses of such capability. The U.S. Navy’s research flights did drop tens of sensors into Erin, but there is no indication they did anything to deliberately influence the storm. The data they gathered showed nature taking its course (wind shear weakening the storm) (NASA Makes A Heated 3-D Look Into Hurricane Erin’s Eye | ScienceDaily). No unusual “external” energy was noted by the project scientists. And indeed, meteorologists have not flagged any anomalies with Erin’s behavior – it followed a fairly typical recurving track and dissipated in cooler waters.
Conclusion on Erin/9-11: The theories linking Ascension Island, Hurricane Erin, and 9/11 exemplify the intersection of real science and speculative leap. Erin was real and studied; Ascension has powerful transmitters; 9/11 was a world-changing event – beyond that, the connections are circumstantial and driven by pattern-seeking. What we can say with confidence is that Ascension Island did not play any acknowledged role in the events of 9/11, but it looms large in the imaginations of those who suspect a hidden global system of energy-based technology at play.
Conclusion
Ascension Island is indisputably home to an array of powerful military and communication installations – from tracking radars and space surveillance assets to massive shortwave radio antennas and HF transmitters. These facilities mean the island constantly emits and receives radio energy across the spectrum, which naturally attracts interest from scientists and conspiracy theorists alike. On the factual side, Ascension has supported space missions, missile tests, and global communications for decades (RAF Ascension Island – Wikipedia) (RAF Ascension Island – Wikipedia). It has also provided a base for atmospheric and geophysical research, enhancing our understanding of the ionosphere and climate (Multifrequency study of ionospheric scintillation at Ascension Island – Franke – 1984 – Radio Science – Wiley Online Library) (A comparison of TEC fluctuations and scintillations at Ascension Island). On the theoretical side, Ascension is often speculated to be a linchpin in secret electromagnetic projects – alleged weather modification schemes, HAARP-like experiments, even mind-influencing transmissions (Under an Ionized Sky: From Chemtrails to Space Fence Lockdown) (The Judy Wood enigma: a discussion a polarizing figure in 9/11 …). Independent researchers like Dutchsinse, Rev. Hopkins, and Dr. Judy Wood have woven Ascension into their narratives of “persistent anomalies”, citing strange RF pulses, unexplained atmospheric “flares,” and the coincidental alignment of a hurricane during 9/11 (Under an Ionized Sky: From Chemtrails to Space Fence Lockdown) (New Study by former Professor Examines Hurricane Erin on 9/11/01 — Double-Click Services Ltd | PRLog).
In weighing the evidence, it’s clear that Ascension Island’s known installations have legitimate purposes related to defense and science. Claims of weather control or electromagnetic mind control emanating from the island are unsubstantiated by official sources. However, the very existence of facilities capable of high-powered transmission (hundreds of kilowatts into the sky) does blur the line between pure communication and potential geophysical influence. The lack of transparency around some of Ascension’s U.S. Space Force activities also leaves room for speculation – for instance, the full capabilities of the Eastern Range tracking station or any classified sensors on Ascension are not public, so imaginations can fill the void.
What emerges is a portrait of Ascension Island as a strategic “node” on the planet – small but incredibly potent in terms of signal output and data gathering. This has made it a magnet for theories about a global control grid, but those theories remain largely anecdotal or hypothetical. The story of Hurricane Erin and 9/11 showcases how Ascension gets entangled even in events where it played no obvious part, simply because any comprehensive “mystery narrative” involving energy or weather sooner or later checks off Ascension as a possible puzzle piece.
Ultimately, our investigation finds no concrete evidence of clandestine HAARP-like transmitters or active weather modification programs on Ascension in the public domain. Yet, the island’s confirmed infrastructure – radar “golf balls”, tall antenna masts, and satellite dishes – is impressive enough and could easily be misinterpreted by an outside observer as something “out of a sci-fi movie.” When looking from Georgetown or Cat Hill at the fields of antennas, one might easily imagine they were built for more than just relaying radio broadcasts (“Managing SW Broadcasts From Ascension Island” | The SWLing Post). This aura of mystery is enhanced by Ascension’s isolation and military restrictions. It is perhaps this combination of real electromagnetic might and secretive operations that ensures Ascension Island will remain fertile ground for speculation.
Sources: This report drew on a mix of official information and independent research. Government and scientific sources (e.g. RAF and NASA documents) provided details on Ascension’s installations and the CAMEX-4 hurricane study (RAF Ascension Island – Wikipedia) (NASA Makes A Heated 3-D Look Into Hurricane Erin’s Eye | ScienceDaily). Independent investigators – notably Dutchsinse (online videos/posts), Elana Freeland (Under an Ionized Sky book), and Judy Wood (web postings and Where Did the Towers Go?) – contributed the alternative interpretations and anomaly reports (Under an Ionized Sky: From Chemtrails to Space Fence Lockdown) (New Study by former Professor Examines Hurricane Erin on 9/11/01 — Double-Click Services Ltd | PRLog). Lesser-known bloggers and forum archives were also consulted to capture persistent theories. All direct assertions have been referenced. In synthesizing these, the goal has been to present both sides of the picture: the tangible reality of Ascension’s EM operations, and the imaginative theories that have coalesced around them.
