I've been criticized for titling this page "Nuclear Glow,"

If anyone can offer a more accurate term to describe the effect, I would certainly be interested.

Meanwhile, I persist in my belief we are witnessing alpha radiation here.

Notice the spire of debris on the right in this clip.
It is standing for quite a while, a remmnant of the building's core.
Pretty soon it turns to dust and blows off sideways.

This footage was caught on live television.
It is authentic, unretouched, and without duplicate frames.
It does not represent technology we are familiar with.

Message from Plaguepuppy:

I rummaged through my video attic and found the original (from Kazaa at
least, only the name has been changed...) of the spire/glow clip, which I've
added to the video archive as you suggested:
http://www.plaguepuppy.net/public_html/video%20archive/

It's now the first clip in the list, followed by two related ones showing
north and south tower glows that I dug up. The end of the third clip is a
continuation of the WTC-1/spire footage that shows how long the glow
continues after the collapse, with very little dimming.

Nuclear is certainly the word comes to mind looking at these pictures, like
something near the edge of the visible spectrum trailing off into x-rays.
It doesn't look like a nuclear blast type glow, but if this was some kind of
scalar weapon I suspect it would look a lot like this. That glow represents
a major energy flux through a large volume of space, exactly what is
supposed to happen in the interferance zone where two scalar waves
intersect. The scalar waves can carry a lot of energy but if there is no
vector (conventional EM waves) component it will pass right through matter
without interaction. This allows essentially lossless propagation of the
waves through solid matter, even through the earth. If the two beams are
out of phase they will create an interferance pattern in the target zone
that causes energy to sort of bubble up out of space itself, with a
wavelength that can be adjusted by varying the beams to create a different
"beat note."

I haven't heard anyone heard anyone describe a bright light seen first hand,
so I suspect it wasn't all that striking to the naked eye... but has anybody
asked? In all the chaos a less than blinding glow might not have stood out
much. Does anyone have frequency/sensitivity graphs for CCD detectors?
Human eyes?

There are lots of still photos that show the glow, some especially striking
ones among the black-and-white images on Here is New York. I assume those
were shot on photo film, though much of the site are certainly digital
photos.

My sourcefile is "north_tower-_dust_cloud_and_strange_afterglow.mpg" from Plaguepuppy.
Later generations of this file are available on Plaguepuppy's site
http://home.comcast.net/~jeffrey.king2/wsb/The_Strange_Collapse_of_the_Spire.htm
and perhaps he can add a copy of this specific file to his video directory.

It has other shots of lesser interest, and at 15.5 meg, doesn't make a casual download.

What forces turn steel turn to dust in midair?

This is Imperial Storm Troopers, not Sand People.

As long as we believe in terrorists "out there" rather than secret technology paid for by our taxes and their drug pioelines, they grow bolder in their lies and treason.
