For a matter of minutes only---if there are no clouds. (We generally ruled out any target below the tropopause altitude.) But there are no space-based DEWs. No evidence. And why would you use such an incredibly expensive device to commit arson, when kitchen matches and accomplices work just fine? It's like using a diamond drill to write things on sheets of platinum, when you could have easily used a pencil and paper. It does not pass the "Does this make sense?" test. You can't conclude magic was used if there was no distinctive evidence of it.
