Science Fiction or Science Fact?
 

The U.S. military has developed a “heat ray” machine it showed off today in Georgia, which is supposedly a non-lethal weapon to be used for dispersing hostile crowds. The snazzy name for this is “Active Denial System”.

It looks like something out of my juvie SciFi mags from back in the 60s! I sure hope they've secured the area of all heavy weapons before they drive in what loooks to be a HUGE target.

It was on our news here last night. Pretty cool.

Yeah, but the Martians did a better job of it.
