Reading Skyline with or without spiritus frumenti, one question is bound to arise: Where are the monkey glands of yesteryear...
Until recently, most scientists assumed that radar signals would travel only in a straight line. But, working independently, both Gallet (rhymes with ballet) and Professor Henry G. Booker of Cornell University concluded that the skies over the earth were full of radar "pipes"-masses of electrons clustered in arching sheets along the curving lines of the earth's magnetic field and extending out into the exosphere, the near empty area of space more than 400 miles above the earth. If a radar signal were beamed into one end of such a "pipe," Gallet and Booker reasoned, the gently bending...
Tilting a 100-kw. high-frequency radar transmitter 71° into the night sky near Washington, D.C. last April 22, Gallet aimed a radar beam at what he believed to be a pipe that would carry the signal to a point in the South Pacific Ocean just off the southern tip of South America. Two-tenths of a second later, an echo came bounding back-after a round trip of 37,000 miles...
