4 or 5 years back a friend was on a large ship , it was pitch black
around midnight he was out on the fore deck and looking back at the bridge
he noticed, "this was a civilian ship by the way" one or two cant remember glowing
rods with balls at intervals' going straight up from the bridge and going out of sight,
I wonder if this was something related to the Foo fighter thing maybe triggered by
the radar, the balls being were the radar scanned through that point.
Many aircraft towards the end of the was carried radar I don't know how powerful
these sets were but after the war one radar was suspected of causing house fires
though this was denied by the powers that be.
