To give an interesting story. "In February 1942, radar operators were regularly plagued with a screen that was entirely illuminated with "targets", making it impossible to identify German aircraft. Fearing that the Germans had invented a sophisticated jamming technology, the Army asked for assistance in overcoming a very troubling development that further imperiled England's survival. J.S. Hey observed that the "jamming" occurred just around sunrise and sunset and that the Sun was experiencing a peak in its eleven year sunspot cycle. He correctly deduced that the Sun was emitting electromagnetic energy and the "jamming" was little more than the radar station picking up the emissions and interpreting them as airborne targets. The army radar operators were simply the first observers of what we currently refer to as sun spikes. The Sun as a source of radio emissions was a remarkable, and unanticipated, discovery. Hey's wartime pioneering efforts were far from over. In 1944, while responsible for designing radar technology to detect V-2 rockets, Hey added to the awareness of electromagnetic energy in the cosmos by discovering that comets were also a source of radio signals. Upon the conclusion of the war, Hey pursued his discoveries by requisitioning a few surplus radar stations and pointing them towards the heavens, assuring his status as one of the pioneers in radio astronomy." Certainly EM anomalies are being detected by the Australian Radar network, and it is standard procedure to mask them over if they appear dubious (to weather watch observations). |
