Looking it over, I took a few notes:
2:33: A small area of buildings across a water canal is burnt out, but the nearest burned structure is on the other side of the canal, 200 feet away (or so), with numerous buildings unscathed in between.
4:00: A Huge tree (Oak?) is not even singed sitting right next to a building that is not singed. Right next to the tree are cars with melted tires. What melted the tires? There is no apparent nearby fuel source for these cars to catch fire. There is a front view of this area at 8:04. Is this an Historic site? There is no roof on the building, which means it might have burnt off, but there is no signs of fire damage on the building, which suggests the roof was gone long before. It looks like an historic building (mission type).
There are several other examples throughout the video of melted cars/tires on the edge of destruction that are very suspicious. There are cars just out in the middle of nowhere, not next to a burnt structure, that are themselves burnt to a crisp. It takes a lot to melt a car (or even have it deform from the heat). It needs to be in an oven. Such an oven can conceivably be created in the middle of a street with buildings burning on both sides, but not on the edge of a street, or the middle of a parking lot, sitting next to unburnt trees.
The melted tires are themselves SUPER sus.
According to this fire fighter website:
How are they heated to that temperature when they are next to non-burning trees and 30 to 50+ feet away from any other possible heat source? The temperature needs to be sustained for several minutes. How is that temperature sustained for minutes, in the middle of nowhere, without a heat source, open to air?
If the temperature is hotter than the required lowest temp (750F), it doesn’t have to be sustained for as long. Indeed, if you give the input source enough energy like say, a super high powered microwave laser, you could ignite a car tire in seconds. Notably microwaves preferentially heat up metal, like aluminum wheels, or steel car frames. DEWs, if they exist, are almost certainly microwave lasers.
With regard to the rest, the lines of demarcation are interesting, but I’m not convinced there is anything overly suspicious. Having said that, the pattern of “spared” buildings to “completely fubar” buildings does seem at least possibly sus. Kinda like what it would look like if I were using a directed energy weapon and painting the ground, but missed a few spots and/or left a few spots out of the painting on purpose (like a UNESCO site?).
Of course it is entirely possible I am just seeing what I want to see there... Not that I really want to see that, but I am suspicious of that activity, and thus at least somewhat biased.
By far the most damning evidence of fuckery is melted tires in areas where there is no apparent fuel source.
Just want to add 1 tiny thing to your excellent list, which I didnt see in this video but in pics the other day, was the boats out in the water that were burnt too. What started them on fire when surrounded by water???
Blanketed with burning embers whipped up by the winds, perhaps?
