>>12704202I found some papers that described exactly how to produce the effect, but I've had trouble finding them again. But it was basically as simple as having two radar beams intersect and setting their phases just right to interfere and create plasma.
There is also a method using lasers that produces a similar effect which you can see here.
https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidhambling/2020/05/11/us-navy-laser-creates-plasma-ufos/The laser method is also plausible, but all of the videos of laser generated plasma that I have seen have a clear "laser glow". I've watched nearly all of the footage from the TicTac event and I don't think anyone every reported the TicTacs having a glowing appearance, so that is a bit of a problem for the laser plasma.
I don't know what the radar plasma looks like, and I've never seen the appearance described in anything I've read about it, but maybe it looks different and more like the opaque white object the TicTac observers described.
If anyone can find anything about what the Radar plasma looks, that could potentially be the definitive evidence for settling the TicTac mystery.
