Chinese scientists have claimed to have made a groundbreaking discovery using what is currently regarded as the world’s most powerful radar system. This system allows them to simultaneously detect equatorial plasma bubbles (EPB) over the Egyptian pyramids and the Midway Islands in the Pacific Ocean.
This development positions China as a leader in ionospheric research, and the country is now the first in the world to track such anomalies in real-time, according to Chinese media claims.
The radar, known as the Low Latitude Long Range Ionospheric Radar (LARID), was developed by the Institute of Geology and Geophysics under the Chinese Academy of Sciences and was installed last year.
It has the unique ability to detect plasma bubbles, “an anomalous weather phenomenon” that can disrupt satellite communications and GPS systems by interfering with the ionosphere — the part of Earth’s upper atmosphere populated by charged particles.

I would not want to live anywhere near that radar.
