Artificial ionosphere creates bullseye in the sky.
What impresses us, however is not so much the bullseye, but the banded patterns rippling away, as from a tuning fork...
Instead of the expected fuzzy, doughnut-shaped blob, surprising irregular luminescent bands radiated out from the centre of the bullseye, says Todd Pedersen, a research physicist at the US Air Force Research Laboratory in Massachusetts, who leads the team that ran the experiment at HAARP.
We find a photograph of this at Physics Today.
The Naval Research Laboratory provides an animation and explanation of perhaps what was going on here.

HAARP may be the largest installation of its type, but we find similar arrays of HF antenas in other remote locations for global radio communications. For instance, there is a group of eight near Offutt Air Force base in Nebraska...
