Declassified U.S. Nuclear Test Film #27

[MrGranousty]

What about Tristan da Cunha people, directly on the radioactive cloud trajectory?

[prostreet2]

let the world end by radiation !! lol

[BigWhiteTurkey]

I watched this. Actually, interesting, from a students perspective.

[ZZSFAN]

If you're wathcing this, you're fired.

[jjjooommm222]

Thanks for the video. I'm surprised how low-level the introduction and discussion is for a classified experimental report. Do our miliatry commanders really need to be taught about magnetic field lines and such first-year physics? I guess to be an officer you generally don't need anything, at most, but a college degree in someting- not necessarily anything useful.

This was one of the brainchildren of the polymath, Nicholas Christofilos, a Greek-American physicist. It was considered to be too sensitive to treat as not secret, because it used air space over many nations and because it is, as conceived, a ballistic missile defense. Not to speak of the possibility of one of the rockets landing in one of the countries around the S Atlantic.

hazing!

[nelloc1]

Idiots!!!

[puppetfilms]

This is amazing. Have you considered selling copies?

[jeauxzuff]

thats some bad ass power pointing ... very convincing

[JimmyFatz]

2:09 FREEEEEDOOOOM!

Harp today

[veterano1976]

Nuclear tests in South Atlantic Ocean?!?!? Near South America?!?! Never knew it. I´m very surprised... I found this fact watching Isao Hashimoto´s animation (Map of Nuclear explosions, here on YouTube). Thanks for posting this. Greetings from Brazil.

Donkeys being foolish

[CommanderComma]

We're going to set off some nuclear bombs. But first, a stooges clip! Haw haw! Paddywhacks! And now some malfunctions. Don't you feel safe?

[Freedomquest08]

MaistroHelix....So what your saying is that my car, and the batteries in my flashlight made the hole in the ozone layer? Why do greenies have so much hatred for mankind(always blame us), and so much love for government actions(always defend them)? Nuclear isotopes are known to feast on ozone, but you greenies care more about pushing the green agenda, and regulating how I live, than finding the truth of what might be the real source of the problem. Effing Socialists!

[PObserver]

Because when resources are used unsustainably, we are the problem.

[precenphix]

Spoken like a true genius.

[MaistoHelix]

No,we did it ourselves with CFK gascannisters,pvc plastics,batteries,cars etc. Nuclear testing only contributed for a barely measurable background radiation of 0.01 Mr,we receive 200Mr a year from natural radiation sources like Radon gas..

[nikos4free]

WOW, you idiots have destroyed the environment since 1946 with your stupid nuclear tests. It seems that you people have IQ of -1000, maybe a pile of shit is more clever than you.

[hawknest8]

ur an idiot since 1944 into 1945 not only have we destroyed the environment but so has russia the uk china france and several other countries who seek nuclear weapons and there are dozens of countries that dont have them but want them but they have no means to get them

[masterchief377]

Awesome video dude. I feel like some top secret engineer or something.

How did you get a hold of these by the way?

[eduar967]

dude, where can i get this films? ares, emule?

[hingedelephant]

lol. Okay, why did they feel it necessary to show the hazing bit in the middle when they crossed the equator?

[btyabear]

This is very interesting. I was a member of this operation. I was on the command ship, USS Tarawa CVS40. We were never told what we were doing, but some of us put it together and knew it was just as described in this film. It is reassuring to find out you were correct. I wonder what was withheld, and why?

[brimtv]

Shut up swabbie, and get below.

[observer127]

@btyabear Consider the political issues at the time. I don't think the US knew what the then USSR had at the time in terms of sending nuclear weaponry to the Ionosphere or any layer where the magnetic belts are. Also, this happen just before the short "armistice" of nuclear testing from Sept. 1958 - Mid 1961. The Cold War is such a complicated mess...

[kakabukkake0]

@btyabear holy crap! amazing to hear you were a part of this obscure nuclear test, weird that the told you guys absolutely nothing, I guess it was all "need to know" information at the time-

[bladerunnerkw]

@btyabear "Well Done" from a former crewmember of the second USS TARAWA (LHA-1) and later an IHAWK surface-to-air missile Tactical Control Assistant. It might interest you to know that in the 80's although we only had conventional HE warheads we still had missile counter lamps for "SP" rounds (Special=nuke). I was 2 yrs old when you were aboard Tarawa and my father working for Admiral Mustin, so not only grew up under the threat of MAD but ended up being a Cold Warrior myself so many years later

[wardenphil]

@btyabear I think he secrecy was due to the fact that these tests were to evaluate a potentially huge vulnerability in our defense system. We didn't want to give the Russian's any more of a "head's up" than we had to.

[radioactiveman30]

How many of these god damned videos do you have, man?

[Pirlinetor]

WOW!

This is the only "clandestine" nuclear test conducted by the USA...operation Argus.

Great to see it another time on youtube - thanks for uploading!

[Zoomer30]

Wow NO CUE CARDS (not)
