Visible radar beams ?

[xylstra]

Well, I was trained in Professional, audio-visual and graphics photography, working in the industry for many years with a major manufacturer, and I can't see a viable connection.
It was as if moisture in the air was creating a well defined beam, rather like a beam of light, but a pale grey in appearance, similar to a shadow on a cloud when looking down - but this was looking up !

Electrostatic phenomenon maybe (St Elmos fire). Google NASA research on atmospheric electrostatic phenomena.

Wonder how long for? Was supposed to be a temporary suspension. Maybe the server has CoronaVirus?

Saw this today in a Flight magazine from May 1955...
