China's super-radar detects plasma bubble over the pyramids in Giza

Chinese scientists have successfully detected plasma bubbles over the pyramids in Giza using the LARID radar, the world's most powerful radar for this purpose. This advanced radar, located in Hainan, can identify these anomalies in the Earth's upper atmosphere from distances up to 9,600 kilometers. Plasma bubbles are electron-depleted regions that can disrupt GPS and satellite communications, often caused by the sudden loss of charged particles in the ionosphere. The detection occurred almost simultaneously over the pyramids and the Midway Islands, marking a significant achievement for China, which is the first country to utilize radar for this purpose. The Institute of Geology and Geophysics, part of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, reported that the radar successfully captured the largest detection of plasma bubbles to date, triggered by a solar storm, between November 4-6 of the previous year. The radar allowed scientists to observe the formation and movement of these bubbles in real-time, providing valuable insights into this atmospheric phenomenon.

I have a friend who loves climbing tall mountains.

He sends me pictures where he is on a mountain summit, pointing his "made it" fingers (or even his ski poles) into the blue skies.

I pray each time that he does not getting hit by a random lighting strike.

Is there anything spooky about this or is it purely a weather phenomenon?

Is Georgio Tsoukalos right?
