Gakona, Alaska
A few houses, a service station, a post office, a couple of diners… and a mysterious scientific research base. Gakona, a small village in the center of Alaska, is home to the American HAARP research program (High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program).
Inspired by the works of the inventor Nikola Tesla, it is believed that researchers there are studying the transmission of electricity in the high strata of the atmosphere. But because of its military funding and the fears associated with electromagnetism, HAARP has also become an inexhaustible source of rumors.
From climatic disruption to influence over human behavior, this forest of antennas has been credited with powers worthy of science fiction … with weekly lectures, concerts, screenings at Palais de Tokyo.
