I'd buy that argument, except that no matter what adjustment the color is
on my TV, it can't shift from red to green from the same source
generation. For one reason...Green is the exact opposite end of the color
spectrum from red. The evolution of their weapons sounds more
plausible. And if you think about it a green laser would have a higher
"frequency" than a red laser (with shorter wavelengths), which would
suggest higher powered. What is the Town Mook book? I've seen a few
photos of the UFO's posted on various net sites firing lasers which all
have a "greenish-white" cast to them. We're not talking about forest green
or hunter green, but more of a "ghostly" green.

That's basically what I surmised in my prior message.

So UFO's writers were way ahead of their time, envisioning a G-suit of the
future.
Did I not see an episode, though where the aliens took off their gloves,
and their hands were not "green" stained from the liquid?
It's always been my conception that only their helmets had the fluid
inside, not the entire suit.
