Greetings,
Yes X-Rays, and a probality to have gama rays as well, also not proven for the later.
So If its smells Ozone :uhoh:(which means that you are in a reversed polarity cloud) if there a continous static noise on the VHF:uhoh:, and if Saint Elmo's fire appears on the winshield:uhoh:, then at the end of a high pitch sound coming from the VHF:hmm:, you will have it.:eek:
Now if one of the first 3 elements is missing :E, nothing will happen.:ok:
