    I always believed this to be true from him just because no one else ever said it was not true. Is CTA lasers even still around anymore?

    Given how uniform the image looks in the original, and how off axis the shot appears to be (contrary to what everyone else says works for cloud projections), I would be inclined to think it has some 'artistic license' applied. Was that possible at the time it was alleged to have been done?

    You are using Bonetti's defense against me, ah?

    I thought it fitting, considering the rocky terrain.

    Yes, JR "Bob" Dobbs - High Epoch of the Church of the Subgenious. The "Bobhead" projected on the clouds literally brought the faithful to their knees!

    Well for the most part one has determined that you can project on clouds, the imagery is misleading as once you get a few degrees off axis image turns to mush. Please keep in mind that to project in the sky you will need FAA notices as well as a host of other paperwork required by the pinks...but you probably dont know that "BoB" discovered Johnny Cash.

    proof -

    Not planning any cloud burning, but why would the conditions be rare? A low altitude dense overcast while not raining or snowing would seem to be all you would need. Sadly, here in the NE of the US this seems to be most of the time. The more abrupt the transition from clear air to cloud the flatter the "screen" and the better the off axis performance.
