Blue Protection From Laser Forest Fires

Wavelengths and Absorption: Directed energy weapons, such as lasers, operate at specific wavelengths. The color blue corresponds to shorter wavelengths of light. Depending on the materials used in protective gear or coatings, certain colors might reflect or absorb energy differently. Blue materials might be designed to reflect specific wavelengths of energy, potentially reducing the effectiveness of some DEWs.

Thermal Properties: Blue pigments can have different thermal properties compared to other colors. If a blue material is designed to have a high reflectivity in the infrared spectrum, it might be more effective at dissipating heat generated by a directed energy weapon.

The name "Blue Öyster Cult" also came from Pearlman's Imaginos cycle, explored most extensively on the 1988 album of the same name. Pearlman had also come up with the band's earlier name, "Soft White Underbelly", from a phrase used by Winston Churchill in describing Italy during World War II. In Pearlman's poetry, the "Blue Oyster Cult" is a group of aliens who had assembled secretly to guide Earth's history.

The hook-and-cross logo was designed by fellow Stony Brook student Bill Gawlik for his master's thesis in January 1972 and appears on all of the band's albums. In Greek mythology, "... the hook-and-cross symbol is that of Kronos (Cronus), the king of the Titans and father of Zeus ... and is the alchemical symbol for lead (a heavy metal), one of the heaviest of metals." Sandy Pearlman considered this, along with the "heavy" distorted guitar sound of the band, meant that the description "heavy metal" would be apt for the band's sound.

The hook-and-cross symbol also resembled the astrological symbol for Saturn, the Roman god of agriculture, and the sickle, which is associated with both Kronos (Cronus) and Saturn (both the planet and the Roman god). The logo's "... metaphysical, alchemical and mythological connotations, combined with its similarity to some religious symbols gave it a flair of decadence and mystery.
