It's January, cold as can be, clear and crisp and dark at night. Even way down here in SoDak we can enjoy the Northern Lights from time to time. I know the science...what other allusions are there from a mystical or esoteric point of view? And pardon my ignorance, but is there something similar for you folks in the Southern Hemisphere to enjoy?

Some here in Australia have seen the Aurora Australis. I have seen it several times over a long life and my husband saw it several time when sailing south in the Sydney/Hobart yacht race. Check it out: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aurora_australisCheers Maat

Also, the book and film y'all know in the US as The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman was originally titled Northern Lights. Interestingly, the American title is a slightly garbled version of one of Pullman's own rejected titles, which was originally to be The Golden Compasses, alluding to those used by the kneeling figure in Blake's The Ancient of Days. This is the name Pullman uses for God being used as an instrument of authoritarian powers.

Kind of off subject but has anyone heard of the HAARP project up in Fairbanks, Alaska. Somehow they harness the energy created by the Aurora to do some amazing things. I don't know how much is true but supposedly it can be used for weather manipulation, mass energy generation and as a weapon that can literally punch holes in the ionosphere of enemies which in turn would fry them with the suns rays. I know it sounds a bit far fetched and is probably BS but it caught my attention one time so I thought I'd bring it up.

Your last sentence says it all. Well then what do you think is going on up at HAARP Prometheus?

"The project is funded by the Office of Naval Research and jointly managed by the ONR and Air Force Research Laboratory......there are no classified documents pertaining to the HAARP."
It is good to know that military research does not have secrets.
