Operation Dominic I and II - Starfish Prime Part 2 1962

Starfish Prime was a high-altitude nuclear test conducted by the United States of America on July 9, 1962, a joint effort of the Defense Atomic Support Agency (DASA) and the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC). Launched via a Thor rocket and carrying a W49 thermonuclear warhead (manufactured by Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory) and a Mk. 4 reentry vehicle, the explosion took place 400 kilometers (250 miles) above Johnston Island in the Pacific Ocean. It was part of Operation Dominic. With the test taking place in such a high altitude, it was one of the five tests conducted by the USA in outer space as defined by the FAI. It produced a yield of 1.4 megatons of TNT.

@SageRai I feel less secure about the validity of your comment when I consider your literacy.

So the USA launch dangerous bomb regardless of many opposition from scientist ,that accidentally create Emp, which in return knock all power in Hawaii at that time. Hmmm.....I feel less secure from my government decision now.

While this explosion did produce an EMP of many different wavelengths, what you are seeing is the radiation ionizing the atmosphere creating an aurora.
