There seems to be a mystery revolving around a bright light in Phoenix:

Would anyone care to 'fess up?
Okay, who in Phoenix over-charged a 26650? 
mmmh.. i like the lady :)
:*
fired from the tailcap of an STL-V6?
That was my prototype Zombie-killer ray. I didn't think anyone was watching.
I was there in June. So it wasn't me!
there was a little quake in Missouri and rikr's curio tipped over
That's why I don't like unprotected cells, they are not safe :P
lmao!
C'mon Chicago! We know it was you.... 
I bet it was this guy that caused it
Most likely Luminaris Technologies Defense Systems' illegal testing of a "Cherenkov Blast" Warhead. High energy photons are trapped within an ultracooled (near-absolute zero) sodium cloud. Dr. Lene Hau has shown photons to travel at literally under 10 mph within this sodium Bose-Einstein Condensate. A shell of cesium surrounds this sodium B.E.C.. Princeton University has shown photons to travel at 210 x C (210 times the normal speed of light in a vacuum) within cesium [not joking here, by the way]!! A relativistic electron beam is fired at the center of the warhead. A huge terrahertz SASER is coupled to the electron beam to further energize the electrons with high energy "sound" phonons. As the electrons collide with the slowed photons in the sodium, since the electrons are moving FAR faster than the speed of light in that medium, they create VERY violent shock-fronts, an "optical boom" (Cherenkov Radiation) so to speak, much like the sonic boom in a supersonic aircraft. The shell of cesium further energizes this optical boom to ridiculous levels...
They need to hurry up and miniaturize, nano-ize, femto-ize or yocto-ize or what have you the wiggler / undulator magnet array + electron beam like in a Free-Electron Laser so I can have my FREE-ELECTRON FLASHLIGHT!!! LOL!!! Okay, so maybe not THAT, but I definitely think they can apply the new "multiple exciton generation" of quantum dot solar panels to LED's. The owner of the LED Museum once said the theoretical maximum limit for luminous efficacy was around 450 lumens per watt. I wonder if we can put this to the test LOL... Nano-what?? Forget that LOL!! Femtotechnology, yoctotechnology and multiple exciton generation, here we come!!!! It's honestly mind-boggling to think what kinds of technology the truely highest echelons may have, even now, behind "closed doors". Armor-piercing plasma weapons? OLD, old news (search here: MARAUDER, Shiva Star, Ion Toroid Cannon, Compact Torus, etc.). Laser rifle almost as small as an MP5 lethal to 5 miles even through body armor? Old news as well (TRW Systems Laser Rifle). Laser-Induced Plasma Channel? (Ionatron, Optima Technology Group's MEDUSA [Mobile Energy Device USA], etc.) Optical tractor beams? Just recently featured in the magazine "Nuts and Volts". Heck, they may have REAL tractor beams and already know how to MANIPULATE Higgs Bosons, let alone know of their existence, and they laugh about the CERN Large Hadron Collider. God, look how transportation technology has SUPPOSEDLY stagnated (how old is the internal combustion engine and turbine engine??). The world's energy and financial "crisis" is quite a sad quandary. If all the "elite" / "NWO" type conspiracies are true, or even partly true, then they truly are a disgusting bunch, yet, a 100% inheritance tax "meritocracy" is clearly not the answer. We obviously can't keep going on like this! *Sighs*
/end "garbage science" / sci-fi / conspiracy rant (hey, "they" laughed at and called garbage science on relativity in its infancy)
I'm sorry, that post needs to be in the Budget Physics and Rocket Science Forum.
Well...I was trying to light a fart, and succeeded. Can't find my pants and my...ah, nevermind.
Come on. We all know that was Chuck Norris testing his flashlight.
Chuck Norris' flashlight doesn't light up the room, it scares the dark the f@#$ out of there.
i think I took too much cough medicine today.
Thanks for the laugh guys!
