Spacefag here,
Posted last bread but wanted to get this out again.
This was not caused by a space-based weapon—that I know. I won’t elaborate too much but just know that a DEW or chemo/electro/optical device capable of starting ground fires from space would be impossible to hide from the military/private sector. Also those photos going around of visible lasers etc are fake.
I am not a firefag, but there does appear to be serious fuckery going on with how the fires started and spread.
I cannot help much with these fires but I can say with solid confidence this is not a space-based weapon.
