Electromagnetic Hazards Group staff talk about ball lightning tests to determine structural integrity of composite materials.

Electromagnetic Hazards Group conducts ball lightning tests under Project Tesla, inside a hangar at Wendover Air Force Base in Utah. An interviewer gets information from the scientists. A team member talks about modern aircraft, new material and avionics system susceptible to lightning. He states that the composite materials used in new aircraft are stronger and don't conduct electricity like conventional metals. The team's research work involves protective measures and verification of the same. He discusses the effect of lightning on aircraft electronics, and the use of Wendover as the research facility due to its reproduction of long arcs. The aim is to study the effects of atmospheric electricity on new materials and electronics systems in modern aircraft. Robert Golka talks about a new company to study and create ball lightning, and apply it to nuclear fusion research.

Tesla Coils used to create artificial lightning in a hangar at Wendover AFB in Utah.

During the period from 1973 to 1982 the U.S. Air Force Electromagnetic Hazards Group, led by Robert K. Golka, conducted long arc simulated lightning attachment tests under Project Tesla. This film shows electrical "lightning" discharges being created with Tesla coils inside a hangar at Wendover Air Force Base in Utah. (Several discharges display what appear to be "ball lightning.")

Robert Golka creates lightning arcs inside a hangar at Wendover Air Force Base in Utah.

Robert Golka and Project Tesla - his effort to create an energy source called ball lightning, at Wendover Air Force Base in Utah. Golka works near Tesla coils inside a hangar. He operates and makes adjustments on several machines. Golka fails to create ball lightning despite having Tesla's notes from the Colorado Springs experiments. Lightning arcs from the ceiling to the floor.
