Just got off the phone with my sister-in-law. She and my brother are on their way back to the mid-west from Carson City, NV. She was talking on the CB with another driver, and running about 1/2 mile behind him. All of a sudden, he stood on the brakes and stopped in the hiway. When she got him back on the CB, he said he could not see. There had been a very bright flash, his eyes were watering, hurt like h$!!, and he could not see the road.

She stopped behind him and tried to help. He was finally able to get his eyes open, but when they left, his eyes were still watering. He wasn't sure if the flash came from the sky near the horizon or from somewhere on the ground. She said she kept him on the radio until they got to a truck stop and he pulled off.

I've been expecting this for a couple of years. I've been watching the board to see if anyone says they've experienced anything like it. I don't think you'll have to worry about it a lot if your load does not have placards. I won't go into any more detail than that, at this point. What follows was written by a retired FBI Agent.

In a commercial jet, they have to fire the laser upward. That together with the angle of the windshield on an aircraft will mean that most of the photons will be reflected into space. Since there was no mention of any holes "punched" into anything, that seems not to be the intention. Instead of a pin-point, or pencil beam, the beam opens out to cover more area. Still, much narrower than a flashlight. They're trying to blind the crew. The laser would seem to be powerful enough to cause permanent blindness, but because of the angle of penetration, the percentage of penetration is not high enough to achieve that. (The greater the angle of penetration, the closer to parallel, the greater the amount of light that is reflected.)

I'm sure they would find the crash of a commercial jet much more to their liking. Big splash, big headlines, lots of news coverage. But if they want to kill people... Their most successful attack on us has been to use our own technology against us. If they can not make a jet crash into a city, we're the next step.

Simply blinding any driver will not kill enough people in the resulting crash. But, a hazmat spill could be a different story altogether. Ordinary sun glasses will not be enough, and wearing a welding helmet all day, every day, is not practical. I also doubt very much if any of you will see it coming. How do we protect ourselves?

In any of your responses, please do not mention any specific compounds, or scenarios. I don't know who all reads this and we do not have to volunteer any information they may not already have.

 

This does not mean you are not allowed to say anything. Not even an "OMG"?

Interesting.......to say the least.

 

Who is Art Bell????

 

The government has already been working on this, for this is a problem that is at least 15 years old.

You can now buy a can of *(&^$&#*((&%. This is product is available online at www.#**%#%^$#$.com. It cost $29.95 a can, and can be shipped to your home. And using it is really easy. Spray it on your windshield, let it sit for 10 minutes, then wipe it off.

Your windshield will have a light pink tint, but will protect you from any form of laser attack.

Good luck.

 

While Darth Abdalla could be up to no good there are also other possibilities that would account for seeing a "bright light", some of which are medical in nature.

 

That laser thing has been in the news off and on for years. I remember reading one story a couple years back about some guy getting arrested for lasering commercial flights. Never heard the truck angle, but I suppose it's certainly possible.

 

Come on Twilight Flyer, fess up. You've been lighting farts on fire again to freak out the other drivers. It's Bat Man, not Fart Man.

 

I actually stole Stuey's Death Ray and have been fine-tuning it for world domination. Don't tell anyone or I'll have to kill you. :P
