gollark: They are caused by charged particles interacting with the magnetosphere and something something bremsstrahlung, so if you just beam high-energy charged particles at the atmosphere and somehow avoid having them just interact with arbitrary air atoms, you can trigger auroras.
gollark: It's technically legal to cause localized auroras and then use open broadcasts from weather satellites to detect these.
gollark: Well, you only need a particle accelerator and neutrino detector on each end.
gollark: There are technically no laws regulating transmission of neutrino beams through the Earth's crust.
gollark: However, if you transmit with several exawatts, you *should* be able to drown out all other transmissions on that frequency.
