In the same article GHS says that a small paragraph in the July 1962 issue of Aviation Week states Wright-Patterson AFB experiments seemed to show that electrical fields can be made to change the flow characteristics around a body moving through the air.

From what I can tell from my Google fu, it seems that sounding rocket flights have proved that the exhaust plumes can create electro-static fields and actually have created their own lighting bolts during actual launches.

This is probably how UFO's function in our atomsphere. 😳.

They use electrostatic thrusters on satellites in orbit; ie we know them as electrostatic ion thrusters.....
