THAT is a Dambuster bomb- made special so it can 'skip' across land/ water like a rock skipped across a lake. My old navy squadron was named after them, and had this segment on a video of the bombs in action.
So, shall we try something a little more convincing?

Can you provide any proof for this? All the videos I've seen of Dambusters look absolutely nothing like what was in the video. Also, these bombs were designed to skip across water not land. They surely don't glow or get that high of a "skip."

Here is a video that shows a damn buster going from water to land.
I can't confirm that the video is indeed a damnbuster, but I did hear
that a few years back when I first saw it. My dad who was also in the Navy
pointed it out to me.
