Now a simple Google search would show you what the Firefly project was, but it is more fun to make it up. It could have been that time in Bristol where They were kidnapping the homeless people and trying to turn them into GIDs also known as 'Glow In The Darks'.
Maybe it was when they tried to replace the streetlights of Bristol with swarms of controllable fireflies, you could pay a guy to release them and they would follow you around, illuminating your path until you got home. However the project was ended because the guy in charge was finding out where women lived and then knocking on the attractive one's houses and seeing if he could "light up their evening which was his shocking innuendo for having sexual encounters with them. He was a handsome man and many of the women agreed as women like men that are good with animals. He got in trouble because he was doing it on company time.
