Is It A “MIRACL”?: Images Of Oil Platform Hole

Things That Go Boom In The Night

Of all the places on earth to choose to camp overnight, a group of fishermen pulled their boat 50-miles off-shore under the protective cover of the Deepwater Horizon Oil Rig.  When they were awakened by a series of “booms” shaking the rig, one of the men – a marine biology student – immediately began filming the series of events that would quickly become the top news story on earth.

Once returning home, the video was quickly loaded on to YouTube -  important, the marine biology student believed – especially considering he had captured a massive beam of of intense purple-blue light projecting from the oil rig upward into the sky from the exploding platform.  “Very clear, intense and pronounced during the first thirty seconds of tape, then faded to just a faint trace three minutes later at the conclusion of the video”. The video did not last online very long, before it was – as is common these days – removed.  Interesting that from this report, the witness assumed the beam of light was originating from the rig, emanating upward.

U.S. DoD Patch - Airborne Laser Lab

The John Chronicles reported information concerning witness reports that a laser-like beam of light had hit the platform of the oil rig just moments before the explosion and destruction of the rig.  Reports included images of a hole in the platform with a “white powdered-looking ring” around the outside of the hole… something experts declared could only be created by a space-based laser weapon called MIRACL, or Mid-Infrared Advanced Chemical Laser – the only known successful direct energy weapon developed by the U.S. Navy.  It is a type of chemical laser composed of  deuterium fluoride components that first became operational in 1980, powerful enough to produce over a megawatt of continuous wave output for up to ten minutes. Dubbed the Peace Through Light Airborne Laser Lab Program by the U.S. DoD, the first HEL, or High Energy Laser, used to successfully demonstrate the viability of such weapons was in 1973 when the USAF shot down a winged drone at their Sandia Optical Range in New Mexico using a carbon dioxide GDL and gimballed telescope.  We may never know if this was a laser or an optical illusion caused by lens flare on the multiple cameras that recorded the phonomenon;  but we believe one of the most pressing things to consider may not be the cause so much as what we are yet to face.  The implications are staggering.

“The beam size in the resonator is about 21 cm (8.3 in) high and 3 cm (1.2 in) wide. The beam is then reshaped to a 14 x 14 cm (5.5 in x 5.5 in) square and when directed and energized, then expands to a 5-foot wide beam of purplish-blue energy capable of melting even the hardest metal within seconds.”

Given this background, the images taken in the Gulf Coast on that dreadful day may better help to illustrate the scope of what the world is now dealing with when it comes to “fixing the problem” of oil gushing millions upon millions of crude oil by-products into the Gulf of Mexico.
