The video claims to show a "High Energy Laser Weapon System" but in reality the bright streak of light is a camera lens flare artifact. Lens flare happens when light is scattered in a lens system, often in response to a bright light such as an explosion. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lens_flare https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ed2H208CS8w

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1715262067782083048
Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
