BS - BS. First of all, I’ve done a similar experiment (I’m a scientist - a professional meteorologist and over the course of my 32-year military career I’ve had access to some cool stuff ). Second - I’m not just taking “someone else’s word. It was a science team. It was well documented. This experiment has been done before. It’s easily repeated.
So have many of the others. Remember the Meteorologist that explained how Chicago being visible across Lake Michigan was a mirage? Are you that guy?
