ATOMIC BOMBS DETONATED IN SPACE OVER PACIFIC ISLANDS, 'OPERATION FISHBOWL'

WHAT HAVE THEY DONE?
AND WHY?

Above, Part of "Declassified U.S. Nuclear Test Film #62"


IN THE PHOTO BELOW, THAT IS NOT THE SUN OVER HONOLULU.
IT IS THE EXPLOSION IN 'OUTER SPACE' OF AN ATOMIC BLAST CALLED 'STARFISH PRIME'.


STARFISH PRIME, BLUEGILL, KINGFISH, CHECKMATE AND TIGHTROPE, ALL CATCHY NAMES FOR JUST 5 EXAMPLES OF HOW IDIOTICALLY AND INDISCRIMINATELY THE U.S. BOMBED THE SUPREME HELL OUT OF 'OUTER SPACE' DURING OPERATION FISH BOWL/OPERATION DOMINIC. 

THERE'S YOUR "BACKGROUND RADIATION", WHICH SO MANY LOVE TO POINT TO TODAY WHEN ANY OF US WONDER WHEN WE'LL START GLOWING IN THE DARK. 

SUCH A ROSY PICTURE WAS PAINTED OF NUKES, AND FALLOUT WAS SO DOWNPLAYED, THAT PEOPLE LIVING BENEATH THESE "EXPERIMENTS" HAD ROOFTOP "RAINBOW" PARTIES TO WATCH THE LOVELY FIREWORKS FROM THE ASSAULT ON SPACE.  

"Operation Fishbowl was the high-altitude testing portion of the larger INSANITY called Operation Dominic I.
This video is a compilation of footage of the five nuclear tests comprising Operation Fishbowl conducted by our Department of Defense (DOD) in the Johnston Island area of the Pacific Proving Ground in 1962.

The blasts are shown at various camera speeds and from different camera locations.
A high-altitude burst is one occurring above 100,000 feet.
The video does not identify the date, time or name of the tests.

When a nuclear weapon detonates at a high altitude, many of the effects are attenuated.

Most of the x-ray energy is absorbed in the air, which decreases the fireball temperature. Absorption of thermal x-ray energy also decreases the energy available for a shock wave. This all results in the development of a toroidal or donut-shaped cloud instead of the usual mushroom shape of ground or near-ground explosions.


In the lower reaches of vacuous space, the resulting fireball grows much larger and faster than it does near the ground, and the radiation it emits travels much farther.

This video also shows the auroral effect of high-altitude explosions where the extreme brightness of the fireball is visible at great distances. 

Within a second or two after the burst, a brilliant aurora appears from the bottom of the fireball. The formation of the aurora is attributed to the motion, along the lines of the earths magnetic field, of beta particles emitted by the radioactive fission fragments.
About a minute after the detonation, the aurora can be observed from as far away as 2000 miles. These auroras can be seen for approximately 20 minutes.

[My note: Ooooh, how pretty, right? Sure, DEATH can be lovely, some say.]

These weapons-effects tests, launched by Strypi, Thor, and Nike Hercules rockets, were as follows:

~ STARFISH PRIME, July 9, 400-kilometer altitude, 1.4 megaton.(mt)
~ CHECKMATE, October 20, tens of kilometers altitude, low (less than 20 kilotons or kt)
~ BLUEGILL 3 PRIME, October 26, tens of kilometers altitude, submegaton (less than 1 Mt, but more than 200 kt)
~ KINGFISH, November 1, tens of kilometers altitude; submegaton (less than 1 Mt, but more than 200 kt)
~ TIGHTROPE, November 4, tens of kilometers altitude, low (less than 20 kt)

Two goals of these tests were to determine if radiation and blast plus heat effects of high- altitude detonations were capable of neutralizing an enemy reentry vehicle and capable of determining the blackout effects on radar and communications of various yields and altitudes of bursts.


["An enemy reentry vehicle" is/was simply an incoming enemy warhead, but when the Boyz play WAR, they like to try to use bigger words, scarier, whatever. ] 

EMP POTENTIAL REALIZED...BIG BONUS!

The strong electromagnetic pulse (EMP) that results has several components. In the first few tens of nanoseconds, about a tenth of a percent of the weapon yield appears as powerful gamma rays with energies of one to three mega-electron volts (MeV, a unit of energy). The gamma rays penetrate the atmosphere and collide with air molecules, depositing their energy to produce huge quantities of positive ions and recoil electrons (also known as Compton electrons). The impacts create MeV-energy Compton electrons that then accelerate and spiral along the Earth's magnetic field lines. The resulting transient electric fields and currents that arise generate electromagnetic emissions in the radio frequency range of 15 to 250 megahertz (MHz, or one million cycles per second). This high-altitude EMP occurs between 30 and 50 kilometers (18 and 31 miles) above the Earth's surface. The potential as an anti-satellite weapon became apparent in August 1958 during Hardtack Teak. The EMP observed at the Apia Observatory at Samoa was four times more powerful than any created by solar storms, while in July 1962 the Starfish Prime test damaged electronics in Honolulu and New Zealand (approximately 1,300 kilometers away), fused 300 street lights on Oahu (Hawaii), set off about 100 burglar alarms, and caused the failure of a microwave repeating station on Kauai, which cut off the sturdy telephone system from the other Hawaiian islands. The radius for an effective satellite kill for the various prompt radiations produced by such a nuclear weapon in space was determined to be roughly 80 km. Further testing to this end was carried out, and embodied in a Department of Defense program, Program 437

 MORE FALLOUT THAN EVER EXPECTED...

Bravo shot from the "CASTLE" series of tests inspired the secret "4.1 project" to study fallout victims.

'Bravo' over-produced by 250% of expected yield, caused fallout over a wide area.


"In 1994, a 1953 Castle Bravo program prospectus was found which included reference to Project 4.1 apparently written BEFORE the Bravo shot had occurred"

ACCUSATION DENIED, OF COURSE.

YOU SEE, BOYS AND GIRLS, THOSE MANHATTAN PROJECT GUYS HAD TO BUILD THE BOMB, DROP THE BOMB AND ONLY AFTER DROPPING A LOT OF BOMBS DID THEY DECIDE TO SEE IF WE DOWNWIND FOLKS WERE GOING TO DIE FROM THAT.

ACTUALLY, AFTER THEY SAW THE HARM DONE, THEY WENT ON TO SEE WHAT BIGGER BOMBS WITH A WIDER FALLOUT RANGE MIGHT DO.

WHY?
BECAUSE THEY NEEDED HUMAN GUINEA PIGS AND DIDN'T CARE WHERE THEY GOT THEM.

THE REALLY BAD THING ABOUT HOW THEY DETERMINED NUKES WOULD REACH OUT AND TOUCH US DECADES, HUNDREDS OF YEARS, THOUSANDS AND MILLIONS OF YEAR INTO THE FUTURE?
A LOT OF FOLKS (AND OTHER LIFE FORMS) DIED AND DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS MAKING THEM SICK.

ANOTHER REALLY BAD THING?
THE BASTARDS DON'T WANT TO PAY FOR THE DAMAGE, THE KILLING, THE CRIME.
THEY WILL GNAW OFF THEIR OWN LEG TO ESCAPE FROM EITHER BEING HELD RESPONSIBLE OR HAVING TO PAY COMPENSATION TO VICTIMS.


CASE IN POINT:

 A US federal court has granted Hawaiian lawmakers permission to slash benefits for residents whose families formerly lived on a string of Pacific islands that the US military used as a nuclear test site in the decades after World War II.

2 APRIL 2014

The US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit removed an injunction Tuesday that prevented the state from reducing the health benefits paid out to residents of Micronesia, Palau, and the Marshall Islands, where a number of people claim they are still suffering from health problems caused by the military tests.
In the years between 1946 and 1958, at least 67 nuclear weapons tests were conducted on the small group of atolls  located north of Australia and just east of the Philippines.

Over 7,200 Hiroshima-sized bombs were dropped on the Marshall Islands alone. 


The “Bravo Test” of 1954 dropped a bomb 1,000 times more powerful than the atom bomb used to decimate the Japanese city.

Not long after, families in Micronesia and other Pacific islands began birthing stillborn babies and children with birth defects. Others suffered the early onset of cancer, sterility, and illnesses they likely could have avoided had radiation not permeated the mostly isolated region.


Decades later, US lawmakers signed the 1986 Compact of Free Association (COFA) with the Federated States of Micronesia and the Republic of the Marshall Islands.

In exchange for influence over the thousands of small atolls, the US began permitting residents from both of the aforementioned countries and Palau to freely enter and exit the US as they pleased." 

WOOO-HOO, WHAT A GIFT, YES?
NO VISA REQUIREMENT, BUT, HEY, YOU MAY GET CANCER YET, AND SORRY ABOUT YOUR NEWBORNS!


[SPECIAL NOTE: AT THE END OF THIS BLOG IS A PHOTO THAT WAS POSTED WITH THAT STORY ABOVE, NO CAPTION, NO SOURCE GIVEN, NOTHING IN THE TEXT REFERS TO IT.
IF ANY OF YOU READING HERE KNOW WHERE THAT IS AND/OR WHAT THAT ODD, HUGE CIRCULAR, CONCRETE (? looks like concrete to me?) OBJECT IS, DROP ME A COMMENT.
MARK IT PRIVATE COMMENT IF YOU DON'T WANT IT PUBLISHED.]

[UPDATE: FOUND IT, SEE COMMENTS SECTION]

WELL, THE "BOYZ FROM MANHATTAN" JUST NEVER GOT TIRED OF MAKING MUSHROOM CLOUDS, THEY ALSO BOMBED THE OCEANS. 

THE NOW DISPROVEN "OCEAN DILUTION THEORY" MAY HAVE ENCOURAGED THEM TO RADIATE THE OCEAN A FEW HUNDRED TIMES? 
PROBABLY THEY JUST LIKED TO PLAY IN WATER... BUT THEY SURE BLEW AWAY A LOT OF SHIPS THAT SEEMED TO STILL FLOAT PERFECTLY WELL, ALONG WITH MILLIONS OF MARINE ANIMALS. 

1946, 'OPERATION CROSSROADS'...

Operation Hardtack I AND II :


Hardtack I
was a series of 35 nuclear tests conducted by the United States in 1958 at the Pacific Proving Grounds.

These tests followed the Project 58/58A series and preceded the Operation Argus series.as part of Hardtack I.

Operation Newsreel was a series of three high-altitude nuclear tests conducted as part of Hardtack I.

Individual tests in the series were of Orange, Teak and Yucca.
Hardtack II consisted of 37 blasts at the Nevada Test Area.

WHY NUKE THE OCEAN?
TO TRY TO GET A BODY COUNT OF HOW MANY WHALES, FISH, SEA TURTLES, ETC, WERE VAPORIZED?
MAYBE THEY JUST WANTED TO MAKE THE SEA AS TOXIC AS THE ATMOSPHERE?

MAYBE THEY JUST DIDN'T LEARN FROM ANYTHING THEY DID, OR DID THEY SIMPLY NOT GIVE A DAMN ABOUT WHAT THESE TESTS DID TO HUMANS AND ALL OTHER LIFE FORMS OR TO FUTURE GENERATIONS?  TALK ABOUT OVER-KILL!
The nuclear weapons tests of the United States were performed between 1945 and 1992 as part of the nuclear arms race. The United States conducted around 1,054 nuclear tests by official count, including 216 atmospheric, underwater, and space tests.

Most of the tests took place at the Nevada Test Site (NNSS/NTS) and the Pacific Proving Grounds in the Marshall Islands and off Kiribati Island in the Pacific, plus three in the Atlantic Ocean.

Ten other tests took place at various locations in the United States, including  Alaska, Nevada, other than INSIDE the NNSS/NTS, Colorado, Mississippi, and New Mexico.

THEY DON'T LIST HAWAII, BUT ALLEGEDLY 6 "SMALL" ATOMIC BOMBS WERE DETONATED THERE IN THE 'DAVY CROCKETT' WEAPON SYSTEM TESTS.

"VARIOUS LOCATIONS" AND "INCLUDING" LEAVES A LOT OF ROOM FOR SPECULATION, YES?

THEY ALSO DON'T MENTION THE CRASHED BOMBER AFTER ITS TAKEOFF FROM TRAVIS AIR BASE IN CALIFORNIA.

THAT PAYLOAD WAS A MARK IV ATOMIC WEAPON, BUT FIREFIGHTERS ON THE SCENE AND LOCALS WERE NOT TOLD WHAT IT WAS THAT EXPLODED.
THAT, TOO, CAME OUT OVER 4 DECADES LATER.


" A B-29 bomber left Fairfield-Suisun Air Force Base (Renamed Tavis later) on August 5th, 1950, carrying the high-explosive portion of the Mark IV. ... About twenty minutes after the crash occurred, the high explosives in the bomb casing ignited. The blast was felt and heard over 30 miles away.

As the fire burned, the 5000 pounds of high explosive inside the Mark IV atomic weapon became overheated and exploded. This explosion was very powerful and was heard many miles away. Several people were killed by the blast and others suffered from loss of hearing and other injuries. The explosion also scattered wreckage over a wide area.

In this 'COLD WAR' social climate, people were willing to close ranks behind official stories claiming that the mission was “a routine training flight” even though the local press and most of the community knew there was much more to the story. Civic leaders stood squarely behind the tragic training mission story as they openly campaigned for the base to be renamed for General Travis. Many notables including the California Governor Earl Warren attended the dedication ceremony.
Interest in the incident gradually faded away and newcomers to the community seldom heard of the crash."  

SO, YEAH, CALIFORNIA HAS BEEN NUKED...AND IS STILL BEING NUKED.

BUT DOESN'T THAT MAKE US WONDER ABOUT OTHER SO-CALLED 'TRAINING EXERCISE" FATALITIES SINCE THEN?

"BACKGROUND RADIATION", CADETS...THERE YOU HAVE ITS HISTORY...GET SOME...JUST STEP OUTSIDE AND SOAK IT UP.

YOU DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER CHOICE, RIGHT?



ABOVE IS THE LONGER VERSION OF DECLASSIFIED FILM #62.




AMERICA WAS NOT ALONE IN BOMBING ISLANDS...
ABOVE, ORIGINAL FILM OF SOME OF FRANCE'S TESTS.



FRANCE'S HYDROGEN BOMB, LICORNE TEST.


RUSSIA'S 'TSAR BOMBA', LARGEST IN HISTORY...

The "Tsar Bomb" is the most powerful nuclear bomb constructed and detonated in history. Built by the Russians, with a yield of 50 to 58 megatons of TNT (210 to 240 PJ), it produced a blast wave large enough to be measured on its third passage around the world.
The Tsar Bomba detonated at 11:32 (Moscow time) on October 30, 1961, over the Mityushikha Bay nuclear testing range (Sukhoy Nos Zone C), north of the Arctic Circle over the Novaya Zemlya archipelago in the Arctic Sea.
The mushroom cloud was about 64 kilometres (40 mi) high (over seven times the height of Mount Everest), which meant that the cloud was above the stratosphere and well inside the mesosphere when it peaked. The cap of the mushroom cloud had a peak width of 95 kilometres (59 mi) and its base was 40 kilometres (25 mi) wide.




AND HERE'S THE ODD PHOTO I AM SO CURIOUS ABOUT THAT WAS IN THE ARTICLE ABOUT THE VICTIMS OF 'CASTLE BRAVO'. 
I HAVEN'T TAKEN THE TIME TO TRY TO FIND THE SOURCE...FIREFOX DOESN'T OFFER WHAT CHROME DOES, TO SEARCH FOR IMAGE SOURCE WITH GOOGLE...I MISS THAT.

  1. I FOUND IT, I FOUND IT...THE ODD IMAGE OF THE CONCRETE 'FLYING SAUCER'?
    YEAH, IT'S A TYPE OF SARCOPHAGUS OVER A CRATER ON ONE OF THE ISLANDS THEY BOMBED.
    Picture taken by the US Defense Nuclear Agency in 1980, shows the huge dome, which has just been completed over top of a crater left by one of the 43 nuclear blasts on the island, expected to last 25,000 years, capping off radioactive debris from nuclear tests over Runit Island in Enewetak in the Marshall Islands. Enewetak Islanders are preparing to file claims for hundreds of millions of dollars to rehabilitate the former US nuclear test site and for the hardships experienced during the 33 years of forced exile.
