Out of the blue

Out of the blue refers to the second glider created by the natural Heisenburp, or in general, a second spaceship created during a Heisenburp reaction. Other similar mechanisms, particularly the method of LWSS creation used in the pixel part of the OTCA metapixel, may also be referred to as "out of the blue" reactions.

MWSS out of the blue

MWSS out of the blue is another example of said reaction found by Peter Rott in November 1997, in which a LWSS passing by a p46 oscillator creates a MWSS travelling in the opposite direction. Together with some reactions found by Dieter Leithner, and a LWSS-turning reaction which Rott had found in November 1993 (but which was not widely known until Paul Callahan rediscovered it in June 1994) this can be used to prove that there exist gliderless guns for LWSS, MWSS and HWSS for every period that is a multiple of 46.^{[citation needed]}
