Light speed oscillator

The name light speed oscillator, despite being not specific enough, refers to any of the following three extensible period-5 oscillators that were discovered by Josh Ball with WinLifeSearch in August 2007. They are so named because the ants-like wicks apparently travel at lightspeed.

Josh Ball also found similar oscillators at other periods.
