Robert Golka and Project Tesla - his effort to create an energy source from atomic fusion, called ball lightning, at Wendover Air Force Base in Utah. Golka turns on a machine. Danger sign on a motor. Extensions in the hangar ceiling. A lit halogen lamp.
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.

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).
Robert Golka and Project Tesla - his effort to create an energy source from atomic fusion called ball lightning at Wendover Air Force Base in Utah. Golka is interviewed about the expenses and duration of the project. He talks about the moment of accomplishment and sense of achievement when a project is successful.
