Now, moving back to my earlier statement about Tesla's technology being perfected by the U.S. and Russia....
On July 4, 1976, a new, extremely powerful radio signal was detected worldwide. Its origin was triangulated as Ukraine, and it was aimed directly at New York City. Because of its sharp, repetitive pulses at 10Hz, the transmission was dubbed "The Woodpecker Signal" by U.S. amateur radio operators.
On July 7, the signal's power level increased. NYC citizens observed a purple corona, like St. Elmo's Fire, glowing atop power poles and other pointed objects. Then, the signal suddenly stopped, at which exact moment much of eastern New York was plunged into darkness as the city's Edison Power Plant was burned out, just as with Tesla's experiment at Colorado Springs.
The Woodpecker Signal soon resumed, and at varying radio frequencies and schedules of operation, usually for about 7 minutes at a time. It disrupted radio and TV communications worldwide over the next decade, and could sometimes even be heard over telephone circuits! All these devices had to be fitted with tuned filters to block its effects.
Although it was never "officially" recognized by the U.S. government to be the cause of the NYC blackout, it was quite obviously the culprit, although it was not again known to create phenomena of that magnitude. It became less frequent over time, and continued only intermittently throughout the '80s before falling silent in 1989.
After the fall of the Soviet Union, it was finally made public that the Woodpecker Signal had been transmitted from a massive antenna array standing 500 feet tall and over half a mile long, known as Duga-3. It was confirmed to be part of a long-range, over-the-horizon radar system, along with various classified military research projects. The site is only 10 km from the Chernobyl Nuclear Plant and is highly contaminated, hence it has reportedly been permanently deactivated.
So where does the U.S. fit into this at? Declassified documents show that on June 18, 1977, the U.S. government became covert partners with the Soviets in these operations by sending them sophisticated scientific equipment for further research and development, despite the official "enemy status" between the two nations. That same year, the Russians tested a prototype particle beam weapon in space, that was tens of times more powerful than those in experimental research in the U.S.. Amazingly, the secret code name given the U.S. operations was.......Project Woodpecker.
The Russian Woodpecker Signal may have stopped in 1989, but Project Woodpecker lives on. In the The Tulsa World newspaper on January 11, 1994, there was a small article entitled: "Weapons Designers Win Secret Award." An excerpt from the article stated, "The Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory has won an award. The award is on display, and the staff is very proud. But, they can't say what the honor was for. It's a secret. Its 21 member "Project Woodpecker" team was cited for its achievements, and won the Intelligence Community Seal Medallion, an award from the CIA and National Security Agency. The citation says the award was for solving complex problems."
