Test of a B-17 Flying Fortress drone, converted into BQ-7 missile, at Wendover Army Air Field, Utah

Test at Wendover Army Air Field, New Mexico, of a drone B-17 Flying Fortress converted into a remote-controlled bomb (designated BQ-7 missile). The B-17 drone sits with engines running. Interior of the aircraft shows technicians of the "Weary Willie Project" checking over radio controls. The B-17 drone takes off followed by a B-17 controller (mother ship). The two aircraft in flight. A ground tracking and control crew on the ground, follows the two B-17s in flight. Ten miles from the target, the drone BQ-7 missile is released from the mother ship B-17. Tracking and controlling the BQ-7 missile, using ascania camera. A hand controlled unit as an operator tracks it through the camera. A finger tip control box is used to control the B-17 (BQ-7 missile). It flies towards the target area along slope of a mountain. The target is approximately 30 feet square white area on the side of mountain slope. The BQ-7 missile crashes into the area, a large column of flame and smoke rises. (World War II period).

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.
