I was outside early this morning. The rain stopped so I went to go see if there was severe damage.

There was some weird ass light out there for a minute or two. Looked like a laser. Had a little bit of sputtering going on so maybe whatever made it is kinda messed up. Still, what the hell is a laser doing here? Are there satellites to worry about?

[ Ah, right, hold on. Senku-sensei might have to give some context. ]

If you don't know what a laser is, it's a word from an acronym: Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Basically it's a really bright ass, concentrated beam of light. This one was huge, came from the sky, I think.

Satellites are machines that orbit the earth. If you need a rundown on what that means, I can do that, but I wouldn't say it's entirely relevant. But I'd give a lot for a real telescope right now.

[ He guesses he'll have to MAKE ONE then, but anyways! ]

Anyone else see something like this, or is it just near the airfield?

I wonder how many there were. If they were all in the water, that makes it harder to discern the purpose.

We really have to risk going out on the water. Wish we had something sturdier than the raft, but it's fine. There must be something out there.
