    Looks more to me like he's saying "perfect" instead of "pion." Tongue and lips both match that much better. My tongue doesn't move when I say "pion" but it does do what this video shows when I say "perfect."

    I tried to tell Ariel that we would be getting the interwebs down here soon. Even that wasn't enough to stop her from running off.

    Neat stuff... I'd like to know what someone who studies Hangul, the Korean alphabet would think of this, and what they might find, since many of the "jamo" letters are supposedly based on mouth shapes and tongue placement as you're saying a sound. For example, there are vowel sounds you pull your tongue back a bit to pronounce compared to others, and they're written with a horizontal line on the left side of a vertical one, as opposed to the right for normal form.

    Actually, I think it's one of those laser light-show projectors, with a really powerful source. Just some kids at the local polytechnic having a little fun.

    Why don't they just use the numerous photos to identify/triangulate where the "green beam" points to. If it's in a body of water or military installation you can assume missile test.

    Mystery over.
