'Space bubbles' may have led to deadly battle in Afghanistan "Their research, published online this month in Space Weather, suggests that turbulent pockets of ionized gas may have deflected the military satellite radio signals enough to cause temporary communications blackouts in the region."
"Although it’s impossible to conclude that the plasma bubble definitely caused the radio blackout, Kelly’s research has confirmed that the bubble was there at just the right time, Makela says. ‘I think this paper does a good job of showing that [plasma bubbles] can have impacts on operations.’"
