About This Book

A young scientific enthusiast responds when a pale-blue apparition triggers an airplane alarm and draws him and a friend into a night pursuit through creekside woods, foothills, and an old mine. The pair combine field investigation with laboratory testing, employing microscopes and a spinthariscope to probe atomic and luminous phenomena. Their inquiry encounters traps, cold clues, and close calls, and methodical evidence-gathering gradually unravels the engineered cause behind the eerie light, turning supernatural fear into a material explanation.
