Aha! Their cruise missile. Not a hypersonic missile. It makes more sense. Thanks for the clue.

It seems that a state has a right under the 10th Amendment to withdraw its approval of an amendment, if that amendment has not yet been certified.

Santa Anas blow from the inland to the sea. Extremely dry and strong.

I saw for myself at the time in 1977 the burning of the east side of Santa Barbara, where the whole Riviera neighborhood was in flames. From the opposite hill, it was like watching the burning of Rome. And it was not regarded as unusual, just unhappy and unfortunate. Subsequently, it came out about the importance of keeping brush and scrub down, and how California environmental law was getting in the way of that. We are now seeing stories of arsonists being caught. Were they paid to do this? By whom? Those are the questions that need to be pursued, because they can lead to someone with dirty hands. DEWs might as well be fire bats.

Recent aging may have shortened his spine. The chair was a wooden one, not adjustable for height. I don't see much point in drawing attention to physical frailty. Wait until it happens to you.

Oh, I don't doubt he is honestly curious and interested and eager to know more. Just ignorant of the long history of supposed revelations that came to nothing (I'm nearly 30 years older than him). As for the whistleblowers, I have no clue. There may even be the honestly misled ones, who misinterpreted things they may have seen---that they probably shouldn't have seen. So, which is worse: To have someone who was an inadvertent witness to a secret project having nothing to do with UFOs run loose and be incredulously received? Or to hunt him down, lock him up, and give credence to his story?

But now I will come back to my comparison, which I think is telling: If what they are saying is true, why isn't they being treated like Julian Assange?

I don't think DJTJr has been following this for the past 60 years, or gotten bored and impatient with the long trail of testimonials.

I was cleared for classified work that was never to be revealed, and there it stays. I simply have no credibility in people who "come forward" to essentially admit a federal felony with a clear desire for publicity. Why weren't they treated like Julian Assange? Because Assange had the real thing and governments fought over him. But the UFO whistleblowers only had a Story, and since there is nothing behind the story, no national secret will be revealed, and they are a useful distraction and help to keep the public thinking that the government is In The Know. Except perhaps that there is no national secret. Arrogant bureaucracies that rely on the authority of special knowledge are more sensitive to the disclosure of ignorance, than they are to the disclosure of knowledge.

So you contend that the exterior wood of the fencepost, next to the nail, truly was burned. Fine. The burning inside was in an air deficient environment. The nail was the only element there that could survive a high temperature, so it is not surprising that the wood next to the nail would have suffered from it.

I guess I don't understand where you are trying to go with this. There seems to be no mystery about the fact that the nails would have communicated the fire temperature to the inside of the wood. Wood is otherwise a good insulator.

But no experience with laser weapons, which would never have left them untouched. Even mirror-finished objects are vulnerable to a high-intensity laser. Colored objects are all "dark," insofar as an infrared laser is concerned, and all laser weapons have been and will be in the infrared. My direct experience was to see a 100-watt bench laser in a laboratory shine a 10-watt white-hot spot on a fire brick. It didn't care what color the brick was. That was about 10 watts/square centimeter. Aluminum melts at a few watts/cm2.

The point is that the state of the surviving artifacts do not demonstrate a laser attack. Color would have nothing to do with it. https://www.usatoday.com/picture-gallery/news/nation/2025/01/15/vintage-cars-survive-los-angeles-area-fires/77732586007/

The dude in the video did not test THOSE trees in the video.

Do not confuse the melting point of glass with the glass transition temperature, at which it can lose its strength and become subject to plastic flow. Glass-blowers work with kiln temperatures from 1,700-2,000 F. Wood burning in air has an adiabatic flame temperature of 1,980 C (or 3,596 F), which it can reach in an enclosed environment. Rubber is reputedly flammable at 600 F Rubber is chemically similar to heavy fuel oil or coal, which gives a probable adiabatic flame temperature of about 2100 C (or ~3,800 F). Where there are cars with melted aluminum wheels and sagged out glass, all the tire rubber has been burned away. And where aluminum melts, aluminum vapor can burn, at an adiabatic flame temperature of 3,732 C (or 6,750 F) in oxygen. Clearly, lower in air, but pretty damn hot no matter what. Hardly anyone thinks of aluminum burning, but in the rocket business we have aluminum-burning solid rocket motors that were once used to launch the Space Shuttle. That blinding white flame? Products of burning aluminum.

Regarding fire marshals, the ones who make news get quoted. The ones who say otherwise don't. Where is the news in "Yep, I've seen it before"? We've all seen it before. It is natural, and we ought to understand why it is natural.

What makes you think I am an amateur? I've come up with more relevant information because I knew where to find it. Unfortunately, it debunks the myth du jour about lasers (which cannot penetrate smoke or clouds, by the way). Microwaves would be flashing all over the place by reflections off metallic objects, or haven't you seen what happens when you leave a fork in the microwave and turn it on? (I don't advise it.) Just give it up. They are already finding arsonists. This obsession about DEWs is nothing but a huge distraction, to keep you busy looking for hobgoblins or magic spells.

We have a weapon called that, but it is a gravity bomb, not a hypersonic missile. I'm unclear as to which event we are speaking of, but early events were caused by Khinzhal or Iskander missiles, and a more recent event was caused by an Oreshnik missile.

Not blind and not ignorant either. What you saw were slow-burn scorch marks on the inside of the wood. There was no air inside the wood, so normal burning could not occur. Think of a branding iron. It pyrolizes the wood, which is to heat it to the point where water and light molecules are driven off, leaving behind a carbonaceous char. This is similar to how charcoal is made.

Fires consume, create burning debris, which is buoyed aloft by the hot flames, to settle on nearby houses. Even forest fires predominantly are spread by flames and burning matter lofting from one treetop to another.

Or some external feature of the house gets lit from outside, but the fire propagates into the house and the "stove" environment gets into play. If the fire is contained, the radiant heat energy is also contained, and the cooling effect of passing air is removed. All that is left is indraft (oxidizer) and outdraft (flame). You know that if you blow on an open fire, it intensifies. This is why stoves are ENCLOSED, and much more effective than open fires (fireplaces...which are halfway enclosed).

The house I saw had a fire that started from within, but it stayed there mostly. The adjacent houses were untouched. The burned house was a total loss. Burned houses commonly have missing roofs, which is where the fire likes to exit.

People have been coming out of the woodwork and making disclosures for half a century. It is all Story. No material evidence of anything. The show never changes. At least the people who believe in Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster appreciate that they need to show footprint casts or photos. The time for stories is long over. We need hard evidence, or stop casting shadows all the time.

Sorry, but I have seen this sideshow for most of my life. I agree with P.T. Barnum as he was reputed to have said: "A sucker is born every minute."

(This does not mean I am skeptical abut UFOs. It does mean I am skeptical that the government knows ANYTHING to disclose. And that storytellers are only storytellers. I am now coming around to the "theory" that these storytellers are promoted as a long-standing psy-op to perpetuate the popular myth that the government actually knows something---but is keeping it secret. If only they would disclose! If only our ship would come in! It is another kind of Cargo Cult. As long as we are sucking at the teat of Hope, we will demand nothing more.)

Forest floors are not lawns. They have a lot of combustible material to slow down and amplify the effect of a surface fire. And no steel was melted (plenty of surviving automobile bodies).

I live in the Pacific Northwest. We are all basically coniferous forest, which in summertime exudes isoprenes, which creates the fire hazard. (Ronald Reagan was famously ridiculed when he made this simple point of fact.) The air itself is carrying volatile fuel. Not at all how it is in urbanized areas.

This has been posted elsewhere on this page and I have dealt with it at length. This self-appointed arborist may know about trees, but not much about fires. Fires that propagate swiftly across grassed open spaces will not linger long under trees to cook them enough to get lit. Anyone who has had to build a campfire from what's available will know all about the necessity for tinder and kindling before you can get it going.

The fires burn hot enough (and hotter) to melt aluminum and glass. Molten aluminum will travel before it cools enough to solidify. The iron nails in a fencepost in the midst of a fire will conduct the heat directly into the wood and will withstand much higher temperatures than aluminum. That this "expert" is amazed at these speaks to his ignorance, not his better knowledge.

No evidence. No different from starting a fire with a watch glass and the sun, which has actually happened in past times. There is no unique signature of an "EM" weapon. Just lots of ignorance about how fires proceed.

I think there is a mis-read here. The interlocutor was forecasting Ryan's self-defense, of "Don't sacrifice the good [Ryan's overlap with Trump] for the perfect [agreement with Trump]." Anybody with a face that smug has NOT been taken to the woodshed. Ryan: unblemished self-righteousness.

Not meaningful evidence of DEWs at work. Just meaningful evidence that an arborist is not a fire and combustion specialist. In my neighborhood, a house burned out. The immediately adjacent houses (10 feet away) were untouched. Fire is contained within a burning house like fire is contained in a stove: by lateral indraft and vertical outdraft.

Too many overarching generalizations about trees and their vulnerability. A quick ground fire can come and go and pass standing trees, scorching the undersides of leaves, but too fast to light the tree. Or does anyone here have experience of how difficult it can be to light a campfire made out of the wood of the same trees? The ground around houses is going to be mostly grass, which allows the fire to travel fast and not linger. Forest floors are generally covered with deadwood and brush, which would take longer to pass through and would itself be caught up in the general fire, subjecting trees to a prolonged and severe heating.

If aluminum is heated to above its melting temperature, it will stay molten until it cools off and solidifies. This guy's amazement at that fact speaks to his unfamiliarity with it.

If a fire is adjacent to a fencepost, the heat of the fire will be conducted into the post by the METAL NAILS, made of iron and melting only at a very high temperature. So, his amazement at the fencepost appearance also speaks to his unfamiliarity with what is going on.

In the end, his "conclusion" that it was a microwave weapon is on the same basis as a conclusion that it was fire bats. Sheer imagination.

The referenced Organic Act of 1871 is not a "constitution." It is the establishment of the legal entity of the District of Columbia. All state and territorial governments are legal entities. Every municipality is a legal entity. This idea that the Act of 1871 supersedes our Constitution is a gross refusal to understand this otherwise trivial point. Don't hold your breath for any "corporation-ending" parties. It is the Mothership that will not land.

Is there any evidence for a "dual-missile" system? The way this works is that the incoming missile has a warhead casing designed to penetrate to the desired depth, and then detonates at that depth. It wouldn't need to penetrate all of 300 feet in order to crush the bunker cavity from the blast overpressure additional to the overburden load.

killerspacerobot 2 points ago +2 / -0

Or maybe no warning at all. The incoming missile would have been nose-on and presented a very small radar cross-section. At hypersonic speed, it would have covered 90 kilometers (~57 miles).

Absurd fantasy. He is scheduled to appear LIVE in a farewell ceremony TODAY. https://thehill.com/video-clips/5091305-watch-live-lloyd-austin-pentagon-farewell-speech/ The missile hit was real and killed a lot of Western "advisors." Too bad for the families whose husband or father never returned from an undeclared war.

To immobilize the combustible fluid, so it doesn't spread. And also to smother it. So, your point is that sand is used to fight fire? I wasn't aware we were arguing over that.
