Using HAARP, the military can focus a billion-watt pulsed radio beam into our upper atmosphere, ostensibly for ionospheric research. This procedure will form extremely low frequency waves and send them back to the Earth, enhancing communications with submarines and allowing us to “see” into the Earth, detecting anything from oil reserves to underground missile silos.
However, several researchers claim HAARP poses many dangers, including blowing thirty-mile holes in the Earth’s upper atmosphere. They also warn of possible disruption of the subtle magnetic energies of our Earth and ourselves. Holes in Heaven? is a prime example of grassroots filmmaking by producer Paula Randol-Smith and Emmy-winning director Wendy Robbins. Narrated by Martin Sheen, the documentary, investigates HAARP, its history and implications, and examines the dangers and benefits of high and low frequencies and of electromagnetic technology.

Re: HAARP: Holes in Heaven
The late Carl Sagan said (which is related to this documentary) “We’ve arranged a global civilization in which most crucial elements profoundly depend on science and technology. We’ve also arranged things so that almost no one understands science or technology. We might get away with it for a while, but sooner or later, this combustible mixture of ignorance and power is going to blow up in our faces”. This documentary film poses the question: Are we making Holes in Heaven? HAARP (High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program) is a controversial high frequency radio transmitter, or “ionospheric heater,” which is believed to be descended from the works of Nikola Tesla and is operated by the U.S. Navy/Air Force and Phillip Laboratories in remote Gakona, Alaska.

Re: HAARP: Holes in Heaven
While it is interesting to watch this as an introduction to the workings of HAARP and what could happen if we don't use the precaution principle, I still feel uneasy watching this.
This is an old documentary, so how relevant are the raised concerns today? Have certain hypotheticals been disproven. Have new facts come to light? I will try to look in to it, but I am not a scientist in that field so I don't know my ass from my elbow.
Also, I don't like this style of documentary in which a whole slew of concerns are piled up by different people. This makes it so that there's not a lot of in depth focus on issues of contention. Do these people even agree among themselves that each of the concerns are ligitimate? Does the scientific community agree? Once you start watching a documentary (of this type), the 'sanctity' of evidence goes out the window. I'm operating on faith here. Facts do matter when discussing ethics of a specific program.
Making distinctions between real facts and things that may in the future very well be proven to be fact (or nonsense) is especially essential in documentaries on science....
