I was being a little facetious in my comments on the laser from China. Yeah, I think a static discharge or several other possibilities are very likely, IF we can rule out camera artifacting of some sort. Watching the theories here, though, was starting to get funny. We come up with some great stuff at Freep, but occasionally, I think the rope on the maypole snaps and some of us fly a little bit out of orbit with our theories. That's okay, though, and I'm NOT saying a laser-based weapon isn't possible. It's just that if I come home and my wife isn't there, I suspect she's at the store before I suspect she was abducted by aliens.
