........and magnetic cannons or launchers. Dont forget those.
One night, one of the 'odd' things I have seen was a bluish thing racing accross the desert countryside, an area that was tons of hills, like sand dunes, but solid. This thing was cooking, probably doing 200 knots from my judgement of speed (I was a test driver at the time).. I was with another fellow, we both had test vehicles, it was about 9PM at night, and we were in CB radio contact and were chatting when we noticed what appeared to be a police car heading in an intercept for our ahead route. He was coming from the California desert area off to our right, about 5 miles ahead. It was dark, out in the desert, so visibility was very good. The 'thing' as we got closer wasnt flashing blue lights, it was electrical bolts dancing from front to rear of this 'thing' and it was glowing a vanilla white color. Then, as we were closer then a mile to this thing, it stopped. I finally found it with my eyes, looking hard for this thing, and found it sitting idle. It was glowing very very litely, barely see-able, a very low white color.
It cracked me up because the bolts of blue arcs were huge and goofy looking. It then raced back off into the desert and was gone. Freaked out the guy in the other test car.
I think it was one of ours, a concept for a high speed ground vehicle. The wild thing was that that there was no road where he was, as it was up in the area, shooting over the small hills that lined that area. Hover tanks?
