SKYBUSTERS UNDER SECRECY

Dr. Bernard Eastlund chuckles as he tells about the time that the
metaphorical light bulb clicked between his mind and that of Dr. Simon Ramo.

"He's a big guy in military science," Eastlund explained to Manning in a
telephone interview. "He was the founder of TRW and all these big companies.
They're a big defense contractor. At the time he was a board member for ARCO
(Atlantic Richfield Oil Company)."

When Eastlund walked into the meeting room that day in the 1980's to give
a presentation, he was aware of the senior scientist's presence. Eastlund had a
collection of transparencies ready to slap onto the audiovisual table, to illustrate his
new concept for focusing a powerful beam of radio-frequency or microwave energy
onto the ionosphere. He had several reasons to expect approval. For one, whoever
would fire up electrical generators to power his proposed giant transmitter could be a
big paying customer for ARCO's natural gas fields on the North Slope of Alaska,

"I came in with my viewgraphs," Eastlund recalls. "I showed one viewgraph
on the location of the North Slope of Alaska. Where the earth's magnetic field is,
where Russia is, and everything. Then 1 had another slide where I showed taking the
gas, having an antenna and beaming it up."

Eastlund didn't have to show the next slide. The idea clicked and the military
contractor apparently wanted to just think about it foT a minute.

"(Ramo) basically told me to shut up, and sat there and said, 'such a great
idea!' I didn't have to show any of the detail," Eastlund said with obvious pride. "It's
that kind of a concept. In fact, dealing with knowledgeable people, I never made it
beyond the third view graph. Then they all started inventing, themselves."

The senior scientist whom Eastlund impressed is an inventor who has
patents on microwave technology, electron optics and guided missiles. Ramo
co-authored the book Fields and Waves in Modern Radio in 1944, and in general he is
a knowledgeable engineer.

Eastlund has been described as a soft-spoken, highly-reputable physicist,
president of a technological company in Houston. "Eastlund is no wire-haired
