That's cool, but now the enemys will just create something than can go through it.
Next you have Laser guns and lightsabers.

Footage of a large meteor streaking across western Canada has been broadcast on Canadian television.

The video filmed from a local police car on patrol, showed a small light turning into a massive fireball as it fell from the sky and appeared to hit the Earth in the distance. Scientists are now searching for the remains of the meteor.

Scientists in Canada are hunting for pieces of a meteor that spectacularly lit up the night sky and then exploded into pieces before falling to Earth.



Meteor captured on camera, lighting up the sky

Experts are calling it one of the biggest meteors seen in the country in the last decade.

Video footage has been broadcast of what appeared to be a fireball late on Thursday over Saskatoon.
It soared out of the sky, getting larger and brighter before disappearing as it neared the ground.

Police in the province of Alberta received hundreds of telephone calls from people who say they witnessed the rare event.
Some heard a loud "boom" noise in the distance as the meteor struck.
Most meteors burn up completely after entering the Earth's atmosphere, but one in 1,000 drop meteorites that hit the Earth.


Meteor Strike

University of Calgary planetary scientist Alan Hildebrand plans to investigate an area around Macklin, Saskatchewan.
He said of the meteor: "It would be something like a billion-watt light bulb."

Tammy Evans was woken by her 10-year-old daughter who ran into the bedroom of their home in North Battleford.
"She said there was a flash of light, the house shook twice and it sounded like dinosaurs were walking," Ms Evans said.

Rick Huziak, an amateur astronomer in Saskatoon, captured video footage of the meteor from the roof of a university building.
Although the camera records one every two to three weeks, this meteor was among the brightest seen in Canada in the last dozen years, he said.
"It was quite spectacular. The ground lights up all over the place," he said.
