Electric Field Model Rockets from 1960
I was reading an old American Modeler magazine today from 1965. In G.H. Stines', monthly column. "Rocket Trails", he made mention of Electric Field Model Rockets. I had never heard of this so I did some internet research and found the following:

Interesting articles. I have to say I have never heard of that (potential) effect on rockets as outlined in the original findings by Dudley.
It is interesting that Stine’s efforts did not duplicate Dudley’s results. I wonder if any other tests were carried out later (as Stine alluded that might happen later in NY)? Still, interesting info...thanks for posting! Earl

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..... http://currentpropulsionsystems.wee...on-systems.html

That entire site is very interesting. I cannot speak to the veracity of all the technologies (many of them have to be bogus) but man oh man is there a huge trove of perspectives and ideas there.
