I would love to see your credible resources for this story.because I come from a Military aviation background and judging by the load this plane would have to carry would be entirely to heavy for it to get a hundred feet off the ground if that much. so i would need some sort of new release and credible evidence to take this to seriously.

Boeing Tests Entire Weapon System on Advanced Tactical Laser Aircraft



During the test Aug. 7 at Kirtland Air Force Base, N.M., the ATL aircraft, a C-130H, fired its high-energy chemical laser through its beam control system. The beam control system acquired a ground target and guided the laser beam to the target, as directed by ATL's battle management system. The laser passes through a rotating turret on the aircraft's belly.

Well its true Boeing's been busy with the high-tech death rays and new weapons systems but this is not like a Hollywood movie...

First everything happens real fast, micro seconds, as in blink and its all over... Picture a terrorist working on a WMD, a super bright flash makes you blink and just like that your WMD is a charcoal bricket

Their first real objective was to limit collateral damage as in people like to place weapon systems next to school and hospitals knowing we wouldn't attack them for fear of hurting innocents...


But this in only part of the project at the same time Boeing is working on a new fighter style UAV. The Boeing Phantom Ray is expected to have its lab tests later this year and the first flight in 2010, soon after it will be fitted with this new laser to make a stealth weapons platform...


Why do this? well boys do like their toys and this is a shinny new mega toy but if this works it means putting a lot fewer people in harms way... hurting far fewer innocent bystanders
