I then analyzed the screen using a KevEx X-ray fluorescence spectrometer, model 770.

The screen is composed of a fiberglass material that has been evenly coated with an aluminum powder coating to resist wear.

The aluminum coating contained many non-aluminum metallic impurities.

The spectroscopy showed that there was a smaller amount of iron impurities in the affected samples.

The iron seemed to have been replaced with a new isotope that wasn't present in other samples.

The isotope is cobalt-60.

It is my opinion that the iron impurities were barraged with a strong neutron flux.

This would also explain the increased level of brittleness that is present in the affected samples, as opposed to the very flexible nature, not the coating on the unaffected areas.

Neutron flux causes defects in the crystalline structure of most metals that would explain why the aluminum coating had become so brittle and stiff.

However, the strangest anomaly would have to be the fact that the events witnessed witnesses were still alive.

Neutron radiation is particularly harmful to the human body.

The levels of radiation that would need to be generated in order to activate the pieces of screen in such a short length of time would have been quite high, much higher than what is considered a lethal dose, would have to have been absorbed by the witnesses.

This leads me to believe that the radiation was somehow contained within the spheres observed,

There is no known theoretical way that a free-floating non-solid sphere could emit, much less contain, such a high level of radioactivity, especially neutron radioactivity, which is usually associated with transuranic elements.

This leads me to believe that some force of unknown origin passed through the screen, and while doing so emitted a large burst of radiation, but for a short period of time as to not seriously harm or kill the witnesses."

So he was, you know, there was much more to it, but those are the highlights of his particular analysis.

We thought that was very interesting.

When we found out about the potential radiation exposure of this lady, we started interviewing her further.

She said that...

She told her about the results and she said, well, you know, within a week, two weeks after that happened, I got a bad case of the flu.
