Lasers diminish in power when shone through atmosphere like all light, due to absorption and scattering by particles in the air. Safety margins are often exaggerated out of caution, but 18000 feet basically permits overflight by all big...

My impression is that they are more bogged down in the lack of evidence coming from their whistle blowers and Big UFO than anything else. It's hard to move the ball forward oif the people who said they were bringing the ball don;t actually have...

I was wondering about how a laser would interact with a metalized not-actually-Mylar balloon. This? If so, the issue of not being able to predict where a munition might fall seems to be mirrored (so to speak.) The most powerful laser I have...

Yes, you got me exactly right. You didn't quite get what I meant. Maybe I've just been inactive here for too long for my perspective to be taken for granted. But looking back at the start of this thread might clear things up. @all Treat my post...

Shutting down everything below 18k is also more straightforward because that's the limit of Class E airspace.

Just out of curiosity, sorry if it may sound naive, but are there other simpler means of shooting down those types of balloons rather than having to resource to advanced laser weapons? Are those today the standard weapons for downing balloons?

Barber and Fowler claimed their Skywatcher team can summon alien spacecraft and interact with them and that they had developed repeatable methods to do this on a recurring basis and had collected video and other sensor data to prove it. When they...

Sorry, yes, posted that before dinner time. https://www.metabunk.org/sitrec/?custom=https://sitrec.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/1/syria%20with%20Flight%20Sim%20Track/20260212_192030.js

There's some oddness going on with the framerate and the different versions. The one that @TheCholla is using for his graph is my retimed 50% one - which was the clip labeled "50%" in the Corbell video. I put that together with the 25% video and...

His drone seems to operate more in the area of Oakey Grove Church, so I think he's closer to there. That's even closer to the roadworks that you mention so it's very possible that they are the source of the lights.
