Not a triangle UFO being shot down.

A pre-emptive thread. A recent test of Raytheon's ship based laser defense system was a success. Here is a video. Beware. This video will soon appear advertised as a triangle UFO being shot down.

Hahahahahahaha.

That is the most awesome post all day. Please don’t tell me you weren’t trying to be at least a little funny. It would ruin the moment.

Thanks for the heads up! I might have been duped!

I saw this earlier today and it was pretty impressive. Never realized alien spacecraft came down so easily, who knew.

Clearly Phage is a disinfo agent working against us all

Why else would it be in black & white ?

Well, I don’t know phage, as Rome’s auctorictas principis, the first citizen and highest moral authority; I receive many foreign dignitaries in the dispatch of those duties.

I am here to tell you that I have endured a horrendous day having suffered the very irate ambassador from planet Cygnus 5, furious over the United States shooting down one of its interstellar transport craft with a laser weapon!

He showed me this same video and I politely told him, that they likely thought they were just shooting at swamp gas and that is what it looked like to me!

I think the U.S. Government is just trying to cover its butts on this one. Don’t worry I told the ambassador I would get him a 9:00pm first seating reservations at Spagos this Friday night.

All will be well, all will be well!

S&F because that is just cool as hell...but can we have some more information on this video please? How much do you know about it, where did you find the video?

EDIT: Ok, I missed the link provided in the OP, but it still didn't work anyway, however I did find some info on the video:

"An unmanned aircraft (Drone) flies through the sky one minute, only to be hit by a laser and burst into flames and crash into the sea.
The video below was shot in May of this year"

EDIT: Ok...here is all you need to know.

This is an obvious ruse. Phage is actually covering for the Chinese who have finally shot down the UFO! To the presses!

I twas on the BBC site ealrier today, already old news ..
US firm Raytheon has unveiled its anti-aircraft laser at the Farnborough Airshow in Hampshire. The Laser Close-In Weapon System (CIWS) can either be used on its own or alongside a gunnery system. In May, the laser was used to shoot down unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in a series of tests.

Nice preemptive move Phage. It's a little odd how you found that video so fast. Let me guess, one of his subscribers making sure he's not posting anything out of ordinary, so that you could flag it down when necessary?

Anyway, this video was probably not released, without an agenda...

Personally I think you could have added your thoughts to the existing thread here www.abovetopsecret.com...

Or atleast given credit to the original OP...

I read about this weapon earlier.

I wonder how efficient it is!
i bet they have had this laser for ages.

why is our government shooting down ET spacecraft? are they trying to start intergalactic war?? i'll be locked in the bomb shelter if anyone needs me.

Thats going to be a deadly tool in the field. Does anyone know what the specs on it are? Hey not to get off topic, Phage, whats up with that Cleverbot site, its bogus

Personally, I did. In the first thread I saw on the topic.

I thought it would be a good idea to post it here as well because it will show up.

Specs are included in the extract below from Source

The Laser Close-In Weapon System (CIWS) can either be used on its own or alongside a gunnery system.

In May, the laser was used to shoot down unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in a series of tests.

Raytheon said the solid state fibre laser produces a 50 kilowatt beam and can be used against UAV, mortar, rockets and small surface ships.

The idea of using lasers as weapons has been around almost as long as the laser itself, invented in 1960.

Record power for military laser
'Laser jumbo' testing moves ahead
Initially, the systems were chemical lasers, which get their power from a chemical reaction. They are very large pieces of equipment and are very fuel hungry, requiring a significant quantity of chemicals to drive them. The fuel is frequently toxic, requiring operators to don protective clothing.

Solid state lasers, in contrast, consist of a glass or ceramic material to generate a laser beam.

They are smaller, more compact and only require an energy input to generate the beam, although the energy required is still significant.

However, until recently, solid state lasers were not able to reach the same power levels as chemical lasers and so were not deemed suitable for military use.

OK so anyone know what kind of aircraft that was in the video.. was it a UAV of some sort.. cant recall seeing any stealth shaped UAVs? Did we see a new model?

A target drone. Meant to be laser meat and nothing more. A clay pigeon. A skeet.

reply to post by E-ville


Yes it was a Slow Flying UAV.

Check out my post above, ive included a link to a report on the video.
It has official interviews with personel involved aswell.
