If it's a hoax it's an elaborate one ~ not quite like that "flying" pointer from a postal fan scale that was all the rage last year.

More recently there've been the supposed missiles swirling out of control (at night), and so on.

The problem is I knew about this particular phenomenon from OLD TYME STUFF from the early middle ages ~ so "what is it"?

Scripture tells us that there will be strange sights in the sky in the last days, but they won’t be necessarily from God, and even the “elect” may be fooled. So anything odd that goes on these days, I won’t attribute to God except the coming of our Lord in the cloud clearly visible to all the world. Anything else could be a trick of satan.

I’m not familiar with any wavelength of light that would be absorbed by air like that (and not until a specified point tens of meters from the source). It could illuminate and burn something ELSE at that point in the sky, but not just air.

It would have to be a wavelength (e.g. pulsed infrared) outside the visible spectrum that is focused or combined with other lasers to generate the energy needed to create ionization or plasma.

I'm certain the really advanced technology is classified but here is a bit of information in the public domain:

With the assistance of a $2.7 Million U.S. contract, Stellar Photonics is developing a Plasma Acoustic Shield System, or PASS. The PASS uses a high-energy laser to create an airborne ball of plasma, then uses another laser to create a shock wave inside the plasma ball, creating a flash of light and explosion. - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma-based_weaponry

May well be a local phenomenon with a simple explanation ~ but I really doubt ANYBODY will let anyone study it.

I think that guy is right. The close-up video is probably a fake.

I think so to. The other two seem credible. Could the close-up video have been created to sow doubt?

Help Me Obi-Wan Kenobi: Moving Holographic Images Now a Reality
image

The projected holographic video that we’re used to only seeing in sci-fi in movies like Star Wars and Star Trek is now very much a reality.

An optical sciences team from the University of Arizona published a paper in the scientific journal Nature today which describes a process that would allow projection of a 3D holographic image that can update in near real time. And you don’t have to wear and glasses or anything to see it. In order to create the image, a pair of lasers are shot into an 11” screen made off photorefractive polymer which holds the image for about two seconds before another can be projected. The more cameras used to record the image, the higher the fidelity. It’s not quite real-time, but it’s the closest thing to R2-D2 showing the hologram of Princess Leia that we’ve ever had in real life.

Not only can recorded images be projected but the technology is able to send the 3d video information over long distance. “Holographic telepresence means we can record a three-dimensional image in one location and show it in another location, in real-time, anywhere in the world,” said Nasser Peyghambarian, the leader of the optical team.

“At the heart of the system is a screen made from a novel photorefractive material, capable of refreshing holograms every two seconds, making it the first to achieve a speed that can be described as quasi-real-time,” said Pierre-Alexandre Blanche, the lead author of the paper in Nature.

I don’t know about you, but I’m pretty excited that this technology exists. First off, being able to project a 3D hologram is just cool, and we’re one step closer to the hologram biplane game from Star Trek III that I’ve been hoping for the last 20+ years.
