The Blue Thunder
Thank you ever so much. I appreciate it.
An update by a passenger on the Amtrak train that was stopped and searched in Cumberland on Sunday was posted on the FR thread.

"I was on this train, and I can certainly say, there was more than the media is reporting. When the conductor comes up to the group your standing with and, when pressed, says "this is the real thing...the dogs found items of suspicion" and states he isn't going to go back on that train, something is amiss. The security on the train sucked...they never even looked at or took my ticket, asked me for ID, or did anything with my baggage."

Why the Ya at the end? Shouldn't the word blue finish with a Qaf?
Did you say there were instructions in the Al Battar about using bikes?

Blue Thunder throwing 10+ foot white hot lightning bolts to the ceiling of the Large Machines Lab at New Mexico State University where it still resides.
Note that the straight line distance to the bottom corner of the lamp shown in the upper portion of this photograph is 10-1/2 feet from the toroid - and we had many strikes to it!

If Tesla could do the following in 1899....what leaps and bounds in this technology have occured since that time.
"At ground zero, where Tesla and his assistant stood bedazzled, the resonant rise manifested itself in an unearthly display of lightning that still stands as the most powerful man-made electrical surge in history. The returning current formed an arc of lightning that stretched skyward from Tesla's tower and progressively grew to an incredible 130 feet long. Apocalyptic crashes of thunder were heard twenty-two miles away.
Tesla had been concerned that there might be an upper limit to generating resonant surges, but now he believed the potential was limitless. The demonstration did come to an unexpected halt, but that was because the power surge caused the overloaded Colorado Springs power generator to burst into flames. Tesla received no further free power from the plant's furious owners.
