I don’t think he can really tell. He held out both as possibilities.
You can see the beam but there is nothing to indicate which end is the starting point and which is the termination. The presumption was that the the end in the fire is the termination.
He also doesn’t know whether it’s ground based and bouncing off the ionosphere or satellite based. Nor has he speculated on who or why. The second California beam a couple of weeks ago appeared to originate in or above the ocean.
He played a video of a Lt. Col. Bearden talking about DEW in the early 90’s. Apparently the beams can put energy into an area or draw energy out creating a cold spot. I’m wondering if that’s true, why don’t we use them against fires.
Interesting question...
