Description

Faraday Rings occur when incoherent light passes through a polarized medium. When sunlight passes through the strong magnetic field of a craft, it results in a separation of the RH and LH circularly polarized light coming from the sun, resulting in these rings. Folks have tried to write these off as 'Newton Rings,' an optical artifact. Today's images should help to dismiss this notion of Newton rings. To date, the only evidence we get of Faraday Rings has been a still image taken from video by Ray Stanford back in the late 70s while he was on an airplane.

These images I present now are NASA pics from the National Archive (https://catalog.archives.gov/id/5956182). I believe they're Blue Book pics from 1964. It's also worth noting the similarity between these and Figure 3 from Ed Tellers 1992 paper (https://www.osti.gov/servlets/purl/5838865) on Fusion propulsion dipoles.
