STATUS UPDATE - AUGUST 9, 2004
As of late May, 2004, we stopped archiving NEXRAD radar imagery. It is entirely clear to any
logical and rational mind that the radar anomalies that we were monitoring are nothing more than
radar anomalies. Logging and archiving the NEXRAD imagery was not producing any additional
information that would suggest anything other than normal radar anomalies, but was generating
massive bandwidth consumption. Additionally, NEXRAD imagery can be obtained directly from NOAA
for any radar site for any date in Level II format, so the benefit of hosting yet another
repository for such data was limited.
The "radarmatrix" NEXRAD conspiracy theory has successfully been debunked. This site will remain
online to continue to provide a rational explanation for the nonsense spewed by those that believe
in a clandestine explanation for radar anomalies. It will also remain online because, over the
months, this site has become a frequent resource for those that are simply interested in
conventional information about NEXRAD. A lot of time was put into gathering information about
NEXRAD and presenting it on this site so it seems silly to take it down just because the original
purpose of the site--debunking radarmatrix--has been fulfilled.
ABOUT THIS SITE
This site was created after I initiated a study of some claims I had
read that stated that certain radar anonamlies were more than just
anomalies, rather were evidence of something much more sinister.
It quickly became clear that the anomalies were, in fact, just common radar anomalies
that are discussed in most technical radar literature and textbooks, but the whole topic
of radars, their resulting images and interpretation, and radar anomalies became very
interesting to me. I also didn't find a single site that consolidated all this
information about NEXRAD and anomalies, etc. into a single location.
So at this point the purpose of this site is two-fold:
- To provide general information about radars, specifically NEXRAD.
- To refute the claims made by certain websites that radar anomalies
are evidence of something suspicious.
