High Altitude Research Project is one of the acronym meanings.  They are 
high power transmitters which supposedly beam RF signals straight up and 
they are said to effect the upper atmosphere to change propagation. 
Conspiracy groups also say they are used to control weather.  They claim 
they are no longer transmitting but no one believes that one.
