Mysterious “Beam” Interrupts Radar in Illinois, Puzzles Experts

Since the 16th of November, the National Weather Service has been reporting that a mysterious “beam of interruption” in Lincoln, Illinois has been screwing with it’s radar. A quick glance at one of their Doppler images and it’s easy to see that something is shooting through the state, but as of now the meteorologists can only guess at the cause.

Is it visual evidence of some kind of HAARP mind control? A targeting beam from an intergalactic destroyer? Maybe, but there could also be a much more mundane explanation.

“We’re not sure what it is yet,” meteorologist Llyle Barker, told the Journal Star. “4G has caused interference before, so it might be a 4G tower.”

The Weather Service has stated that the interference is mostly harmless and hasn’t really impacted them, so they probably won’t look into it much more.

HAARP is awesome

apparently it controls the weather, causes quakes, controls minds, talks to aliens and now can jam radar

simply amazing

:p

It seems to be an obsession of the tin foil crowd.

Someday I wouldn’t mind knowing what it really is, but the wild theories just get in the way,

I guessing more like equipment failure causing a glitch in 1 section of the radar scan circumfrence

Notice it expands radially (gets wider the farther it is away from the center) and seems to be a contant angle

First place to check would be the water supply.

They use ELF to communicate with submerged submarines I think, I have no idea about HAARP though

Ultra low frequency submarine communication.

The new radar set at Lincoln just came on line around this same time in November. Gee Wally, I’ll bet it has something to do with that. I see it still picks up windmill farms though, as witnessed here north of Lincoln and northwest of Bloomington.

It could be a reciever problem. More likley a glitch in the video processor.

This almost certainly a software issue, or, potentially, some kind of interference, even from a source inside the station. Radars now rely on sophisticated analysis and display programs to project their data. If those programs or embedded software go bad, then almost anything can be displayed or obscured. The US military apparently has begun to develop the ability to disrupt enemy radars in this manner using electronic transmissions to inject computer viruses into enemy radar systems.

My suggestion: crank it up to 11!
