Gee, I thought those electrons were massed pretty accurately at .511 MeV.  
Oh well, what do I know, I just build ion engines, besides I still believe 
that Newton's laws apply to non relativistic systems...

Actually, the earth does have an electric field and it has been used to 
float objects.  I believe that they were charged with DC and the photo I 
have in a book somewhere shows a power cable dangling from the saucer
