ELF Waves and Earthquake Triggering

In 1983, I did radio tomography with 30 watts, looking for oil in the ground.

I found 26 oil wells over a nine-state area.

100% of the time was accurate with just 30 watts of power beaming straight into solid rock.

HAARP uses a billion watts beamed straight into the ionosphere for experiments.

Picture these strings on the piano as layers of the earth.

Each one has its own frequency.

What we used to do is beam radio waves into the ground.

It would vibrate any strings that were present in the ground.

We might get a sound back like, we'd say, that's natural gas.

We might get a sound back like, we'd say that's crude oil.

We were able to identify each frequency.

We accomplished this with just 30 watts of radio power.

If you do this with a billion watts, the vibrations are so violent that the entire piano would shake.

In fact, the whole house would shake.

In fact, the vibrations could be so severe underground, they could even cause an earthquake.

Dr. Agnew experienced the power of ELF waves firsthand back in the 1980s.

He was hired by an energy company to locate oil and gas using the same kind of ELF waves at much lower frequencies to carry out his search.

It's a process called earth tomography.

During one particular incident, Dr. Agnew believes his use of HAARP-like ELF waves accidentally triggered an earthquake.

It was in the spring of 1987.

We arrived in Roseburg, Oregon to use our ELF technology to search for oil and gas.

Setting up that day, we had a little bit different results than we expected because the instant that we energized it,

there was between a 4 and 4.5 on the Richter scale earthquake that occurred.

We were so amazed about what seemed to be cause and effect.

We get to an area that has a high propensity for earthquakes,

known as the megathrust of the Pacific Northwest.

We turn it on, and an earthquake occurs.

Dr. Agnew demonstrates how he may have triggered the quake.

This is a scale model of what the area looked like in Oregon

when we scanned for oil and gas in 1987.

The strata right here represents the megathrust area underneath the ground.

The rock represents the potential energy

set up in the ground from a tectonic stress.

What we're going to do is introduce ELF waves

and demonstrate that it can, in fact, trigger an earthquake.

In this case, Dr. Agnew is using a stereo speaker

to produce the ELF waves needed for his demonstration.

ELF waves, extremely low frequency waves, are just like a subwoofer.

In your car, you can actually feel the vibrations through your body.

ELF waves are the same way.

They vibrate the earth, right resonant frequencies.

They can have devastating effects.

When the speaker is activated, ELF waves begin to emit.

Tiny vibrations in the sand are detected.

A few seconds later, the rock representing a fault line shifts.

As you can see, in a very few seconds,

the resonant frequency built up in our model

released the potential energy in the rock.

That concussion, on a real scale, would have been felt for 100 miles.

These conditions are already set up in the ground.

All it takes is the activation energy to make the release happen.

This is a small scale, and we're only using 30 watts in this scale.

When HAARP's broadcast array in Gakona, Alaska,

sends pulses of ELF waves into the ionosphere,

the waves get reflected back down and pass through the earth and ocean.

If 3.6 million watts of ELF waves were purposely or accidentally aimed

at an already unstable fault line, it could, according to Dr. Agnew,

cause a tremendous earthquake.

You know, looking at just simple instabilities,

you know, what does it take to create an avalanche,

a guy walking across an unstable ice field?

What does it take to trigger an earthquake?

The right signal coming in when the pressures are already built up and they're at the right level?

threshold that feather, and in our case that hammer, releases that energy.
