California Fire Department Captain John Lord States, "Looking at the destruction, which I had never seen in my career, the totality of the destruction on the structures. There was absolutely nothing left of the structures accept foundations. I've seen that before, but not where one side of the street is OK and the other side of the street looks like a nuclear war zone. I have not seen anything like that.

There is no other plausible explanation for the fires, a directed energy weapon is all that remains. This is the only plausible explanation in my opinion. That is the conclusion I was brought to based on my 30 years of experience."
