Plasma Ball UFOs Over New Mexico
According to this report at Wired.com, crossing high-energy laser beams in the atmosphere heats up the air to create the fourth state of matter known as a “plasma.” To the observer, this appears as a glowing ball of light. 99% of the visible matter in the universe (mostly stars of course) is in a plasma state. What do you want to bet that this is one of the phenomena that Paul Bennewitz observed over Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque in the late 1970s and 1980s?
This paper describes experiments with plasma-producing lasers at the Air Force Weapons Lab (AFWL) at Kirtland in the late 1960s. By the mid-1980s, the art of high-energy laser tech was further refined to the point where one witness saw and told me about 1-2 foot holes burned through foot-thick reinforced concrete walls in a facility at Kirtland.
Another project called “Shiva Star,” also based at Kirtland, continued research into laser weapons designed to shoot down missiles with bursts of high-energy laser light:
In the early 1990s, the US Air Force was preparing tests at Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico, designed to lead to a ground-based plasma-weapon in the late 1990s capable of firing plasma bullets at incoming ballistic missile warheads. The enabling technology was a ‘fast capacitor bank’ called Shiva Star that could store 10 million joules of energy and release it instantaneously. Officials anticipated firing bullets at 3,000km/sec in 1995 and 10,000km/sec- 3% of the speed of light - by the turn of the century. The tests absorbed little more than a few million dollars of annual funding (Jane’s Defence Weekly 29 July 1998).
According to my sources on Project Beta, this was not a new idea, even in the 1990s, and had in fact been going on for years. No surprise there. This was only one of the hundreds of experiments that were carried out by the AFWL and Sandia Labs on the premises of Kirtland during the Bennewitz saga. It’s no wonder that they would risk one man’s sanity and a host of counterintelligence operations and disinformation in order to keep these projects secret.
For more info on directed energy weapons, see the Air Force Research Lab’s list of projects and descriptions.

Hi Greg! You may remember me telling you about the glowing orb I saw while looking at the contrail or chemtrail X in the sky. I wonder if they are still doing laser/plasma experiments or something similar to that at KAFB/Sandia? Maybe that is the reason for having X’s in the sky, like target practice or something? I know people in other parts of the country have also seen and photographed orbs while filming contrails, but they must run experiments such as that other places besides just here. Just a thought.

Greg, if they were researching laser technology on such a weaponistic basis, could they also’ve been researching it on a 3D hologramic/psy. ops basis?
Might explain some of the ‘UFOs’ seen over the likes of Area 51.

Didn’t Egon say that crossing the beams would be….’bad’?
Kind regards,
Greg

I don’t suppose the Air Force has any photos or videos of this little claim of theirs…?

Hi Greg: Eversince my black triangle sighting I have always considered it a “plasma ball” sighting as well. First I saw “plasma balls” on the horizon that my sister saw as well. She had seen similar plasma lights near Taos, NM. We saw these right after the X-files show ended and she got bored so went back into the house. Summer 1997. (I had researched UFO stuff a bit, read Keel, etc. but had no idea that the black triangle had actually been on X-files before).
I’m watching these plasma balls on the horizon, each a different color, green, red, orange. Each plasma ball doing inexplicable manuevers. I try to figure out what it could be — headlights, tower lights, helicopters, etc.
Then I see something from that direction, the horizon, slowly coming right towards me — low and silent. It flies right over the top of the hill, close to the hill, and then over the tree, on the north end of our yard!! It was a slow, big, humming, black perfect equilateral triangle. I didn’t dare take my eyes off it but I could have hit it with a rock.
Anyway I just googled “plasma balls” and black triangles. I got Richard Dolan’s analysis which I think is the best. http://keyholepublishing.com/What_Are_The_Triangles.htm
It actually includes a Hasting Minnesota sighting which is almost identical to what I saw, except they witnessed the amazing accleration of this craft. MUFON lists two other black triangle sightings around the same time I saw mine — in the Twin Cities area.
Apparently these things are plasma-powered but I see no reason to think they’re “reverse engineered” from alien technology. I had emailed Nick about my sighting and then his book documented a black triangle sighting near a U.S.-U.K. airforce base, soon after WWII.

Drew:
Yeah that’s the one weird angle re the Flying Triangles (for me, at least): namely that while I am willing to accept that the FTs can be considered advanced human technology, the problem is that I have numerous reports on file (some from official sources) describing FTs 40 and 50 years ago that were identical to today’s FTs - right down to the low humming noise, and characteristic rounded (rathen than sharp) corners and the 3-pointed illumination below.
That’s what makes me realize that while maybe the FTs are more prevalent today; there were around at the dawning of the modern UFO era too.
That suggests to me that maybe they aren’t ours…

Hi Nick: Thanks for giving further comment on your FT research. My take is a broader angle — that Western science is destroying earth and in the process those of us on the edge of science tend to project our denial into a “cryptoterrestrial” reality a la Jung.
Have you read “SS Brotherhood of the Bell” (Fall, 2006). Joseph P. Farrell’s earlier books were too cheesy for me but that one, http://www.amazon.com/SS-Brotherhood-Bell-Nasas-Majic-12/dp/1931882614/ref=pd_sim_b_1/102-8527213-0293750?ie=UTF8&sr=1-1, seemed quite persuasive.
Ionized plasma research was much more advanced during WWII than most realize.

Drew, Read the article regarding the triangle vessels. I seen one of those triangle vessels in the early 80’s on Vancouver Island, same sound you and your sister heard also. There were 5 witnesses, the thing flew or floated very slowly over the top of the house and it was larger then the house. The weird thing was when the craft was about 1/2 a block away; me and my brother were still outside watching it, I told my brother before he was about to go back inside lets ask it to come back in our minds. I remember within seconds of saying come back, come back in our mind that this craft’s sound changed like it was slowing down. Freaked us out, we were young we ourselves flew into the house from fear and what I call a weird response from something to this day is probably not from around here. Never seen any plasma balls or trails from it. By the way I did notice the whole area around there were no other sounds or noises that are normally heard in my area. Dave

Drew:
Yeah the Farrell book is actually a very interesting one, and got overlooked by a lot of the people in this field.
May 18th, 2007 at 7:14 pm
I would recommend both of Farrell’s books, Brotherhood of the Bell and Reich of the Black Sun. Reich of the Black Sun may spend a bit too much time on Nazi Atom Bombs for people only interested in ufos, but I thought they were both interesting.

Hi Greg — you’re probably aware of this — Dulce as secret nuclear waste dump?

Lesley,
It might make sense to cross contrails to leave more material to aim for and turn into plasma, but from out POV on the ground, we don’t really know if the trails are at the same altitude. Start Googling.

Alan,
Maybe this is what Jacques Vallee was warning us about in the 1970s. Maybe it’s because he knew what was coming down the road.
May 19th, 2007 at 9:51 pm
Greg,
It took me awhile to get the Ghostbusters reference. Good one.
May 19th, 2007 at 10:00 pm
Drew,
That’s a good article by Dolan, but I don’t think he mentions “plasma balls.” The thing I described here appears to be separate from the triangle phenomenon. What you saw might (as Dolan says) be powered remotely by beaming microwave or other energy to the craft, which might have the effect (sometimes) of creating glowing orbs in the atmosphere.
Re- Nick’s comment: Not as strange if you consider that there is an (unverified) briefing paper entitled “Electrogravitics” which was published in the mid-1950s.
That’s a lot of “might”s!
