Lol. The experiment literature is in scientific jargon talk, I can't make heads nor tails of it:
" Test #1 - Droplet diameter of 4 mm, with no support fiber. Droplet deployment was successful with a brief burn before radiative extinction. An afterglow from condensing vapor cloud and scattered backlight occurred approximately 30 sec after extinction. This afterglow phenomena typically occurs following radiative extinction.
• Test #2 - Droplet diameter of 4 mm, with support fiber and translation. Tethered deployment was successful with a brief burn before radiative extinction. Extinction occurred at "trailing surface "after translation ceased.
• Test #3 - Droplet diameter of 4 mm, with no support fiber. Droplet deployment was successful with very little droplet drift. The burn was very brief before radiative extinction. The afterglow phenomena occurred again similar to Test #1.
• Test #4 - Droplet diameter of 4 mm, with support fiber and translation. Tethered deployment was successful with a brief burn before radiative extinction. A small amount of residual fuel from previous test was still on the fiber, which caused a brief secondary "ignition flash" that lasted less than 1 sec. Extinction occurred (similar to Test #2) at "trailing surface." "

  • Either that or.... They are working on a way to fix accidents if combustibles etc ignited in space they could extinguish it. But if they succeeded they could create a huge one, send it out into space. And when A strong solar flare ignites and sends it to earths way, maybe extinguish it? At the same time maybe there could be a way to collect ALL that energy from that flare from the sun convert it to energy to use for out planet. I wonder why scientists don't think of that. Infact you sould send

  • @Edsan91 They already just admitted they have technology that they are calling "Event cloaking'

    event cloaking... they can go back in time to disguise events and make it so like they didnt happen or happened differently. mmhmm. lookitup..

  • this is scary what else are they doing up there that we don't know about, looks like everything got invisible maybe it all exploded?

  • @ytbymz smashing atoms, looking for the God particle/anti-matter, the usual. hadron collider over our heads.

  • @Sheilaaliens oh god, same vid i watched this on your other chan this is getting confusing lol its all good though!

  • @METALLICA6547 I know!! I was getting 8 different kinds of mixed up when uploading earlier, yeargh lol

see all

  • Are we trying to burn out the sun?

  • Wow!!

  • Flame Extinguishment? what kind of experiment? well the doors song back in the 70`s was called; light my fire and I pretty sure that song was about sex...LOL maybe its some kind of new outer space sex toy?

  • Thank you so much for that Vid. Was ripping my hair out trying to figure what the hell

  • If your craft is on fire use an extinguisher. And if it's got a hole from the fire then no worries! haha

  • @Sheilaaliens I musta been brain dead, look how I spelled "laboratory!" Yup, I've found out some astonishing stuff. I assisted at a conference with lots of NASA people in Paris for SEE in '99. "The Frequency Spectrum" was the subject. They wanted things to go digital for what seemed to me to be military ops to have more bandwidth. I thought, HUH?! But it's making more and more sense to me, now.

  • @Sheilaaliens good job finding it, I tried for about a half hour and then gave up :(

  • How is there flames in outer space without oxygen? Seriously, I want to know...

  • Sheila, TY for sharing this very interesting video. I will search to see what i come up with.l

  • SHEILA....ALERT!!! This morning at 9:03 in Costa Rica I caught the SUN FLASHING!!! I have a video of this. Have you heard anything?

    ALOHA & SHALOM
