After watching the episode this week and then revisiting the episode where they did this experiment the last time, it occured to me that perhaps they're/we're thinking about this in the wrong way. It didn't make sense to me that a piece of ceramic would "open up" at the introduction of the electron beam, then "heal" afterwards and went off to do some research on optical illusions that can be picked up by the SEM (scanning electron microscope) and found this article published in 2015 on the National Library of Medicine website:

TL:DR; specifically on certain materials, the introduction of electrons can cause an electric charge build up in the material, which in the view of the SEM, looks darker than it otherwise would, and when the electron beam is turned off, the charge dissipates (hence, looks as though its "healing")

What do you all think?

If so, what kinds of energy are candidates? What type of energy field could cause drones to have to recalibrate? Smoke to “bounce off”? What would it take to broadcast such a field? Could it be broadcast from a satellite or from inside the mesa? What equipment could measure an energy field a the bubble boundary?

I’m not a scientist but I would like to see these questions asked. Also, the light flash and gamma ray burst at the Homestead, what could cause that? A directed energy weapon? What else?

@saucersandsaints YouTube channel posted a special SWR round table discussion covering Season 7 to date featuring several of the team members -Jan, Pete, Ben, others. Good discussion. It’s what Beyond The Gates should be but isn’t.

I'm ok with it enough to post it
