HD EFFECT OF ATOMIC WEAPONS

This video shows the heat, blast, and radiation effects of a nuclear explosion on personnel (dummies), structures, and military equipment. The video is a compilation of numerous nuclear detonations in the atmospheric testing program, but does not identify each blast. All types of detonations, including underground, surface, near surface and high altitude are shown.

Deep State have put their plans for us into the movies, tv and news for many decades. The above pasted list also has a few 911 references so we can see how they tell us what they're gonna do, then they do it. We all know 911 was done by the US gov, not Arabs in a cave. They've been telling us about 923 (probably September 2023) at least since 1986 (movie Labyrinth with David Bowie and Jennifer Connelly). I can only assume that the nukes will fly then. Be aware that some of the 923 references are obvious, others are obscure. For example, the letter "I" ("I" for India) is the ninth (9th) letter of the English alphabet so is another reference to "9". Also, the number "1" (one) looks like an "I" so it is sometimes used along with "23" to indicate "923" - this technique is used in the introduction to "The Simpsons". Other variations use a "6" as an upside down "9", and various combinations of the digits such as 239, 329, etc. Stock up on B Vitamins (B for Brain). B supplements are necessary for us to handle stress. This stuff can be scary at first. But after 3 months you will be very calm again. Go through the list then pass it on to loved ones so they can be at least mentally prepared. These 923 videos are telling us about a significant event (probably nuclear war) in the future.

This is a little know effect of air-burst nuclear explosions called Auto Nuclear Prestidigitation. This strange phenomenon causes classic automobiles to suddenly appear in the radiation shadows cast by large objects in the first moments of the explosion. Unfortunately this method is not a viable way to produce vehicles as experiments have shown the automobiles only spontaneously appear within the destructive blast radius of the explosion meaning they are always destroyed moments after their creation. Theorists have hypothesized this phenomenon is similar in nature and function to the creation and destruction of matter across the event horizon of Black Holes.

These and tests in the Pacific were studied for their effects on various types of targets. An unclassified book was published by the United States Atomic Energy Commission in April 1962 called, "The Effects of Nuclear Weapons - 1962." I purchased one of these from my college bookstore. Its 700+ pages have interesting text, graphs, formulas and photographs summarizing these effects. Some of it is pretty technical for a non-scientist/physicist. Two years later, I was loading some of these weapons in the Air Force. As far as I know, this data is still relevant on soft, civilian type targets. IMO, they are more powerful and deadly than the impression you get watching these wonderful videos. There are few people still alive that have witnessed an atmospheric test, especially in the megaton range. That must be an experience you never forget.

Jesus. I've seen this video about 20 times now and it's still just as utterly terrifying as the first time I saw it. And could the narrator's information possibly be any more misleading... or, more specifically, flat-out incorrect? - "The vast majority of the radiation is carried off by the nuclear cloud and dispersed throughout the air, presenting no problem for the civilians on the ground." Yeah, right. Tell that to the thousands upon thousands of innocent Japanese people who died and/or fell extremely ill due to the effects of radiation in Hiroshima/Nagasaki... or the thousands of children who were born with serious birth defects that they are still dealing with to this very day. Or, how about the American soldiers (some who are shown in this very video) who were told to stand a couple of miles away from 'ground zero' and stare at the damn things while they blew up... many being ordered to "run toward the blast after detonation" as war-training exercises... in which a large portion ended up dying from radiation-induced cancers. - "The initial nuclear radiation is half-over one second after detonation... and is all over within 10 seconds to 1 minute after the appearance of the white light." Wow. Nope. Not even close! Talk about making some fatally incorrect assumptions, eh? Turns out that shit can last for (many) years; hence the term, "nuclear dead zone." You know, those areas that governments strictly prevent people from entering for decades (if not centuries, in some severe cases) after heavy radiation exposure... - "In this 'Nuclear Age,' the 'Fox Hole' is a soldiers best friend..." Yep. "Listen up, fellas. All you have to do is stand in these wide-open pits and you'll have nothing to worry about. We promise!" -Sigh- What a goddamn tragedy. As mesmerizing as these things are, one can only hope that someday (specifically in the very near future) mankind, as a whole, can put their differences aside and come to the realization that these WMDs are completely unnecessary and, if put into the wrong hands, carry the potential to thwart any & all progress we've ever made as a species. I could keep going, but I think I've said enough. Lets just hope these damn things continue collecting dust and only make appearances in these old military videos.

What Are Those Strange Thin Smoke Columns Around Nuclear Bomb Tests? This video shows part of a nuclear blast test. Notice those parallel smoke trails? They are present in many other nuclear test images and videos, but they are not created by the blast itself. What are they? Back in the early days of the Cold War there were no computers capable of modeling nuclear explosions and their effect. They are smoke rocket trails. Before each test blast, technicians fired these rockets up in the air, leaving large smoke trails that rose well above the bomb's mushroom. When the atomic blast's shockwave arrived, they moved the trails. Scientists at observation stations could instantly see the effect of the shockwave, hitting, moving and deforming the smoke columns. They were able to measure the speed of the shockwave, as well as the shape and the pressure in relation to the space.

How they lie about the nuclear radiation, that it is carried out by the mushroom and dispersed without harming the troops.

[@lukasdimmler2622]

It is actually pretty accurate. A tactical airburst would mostly yield prompt neutron radiation, enabling troops to take ground once the dust has settled. The exposure to low levels of fallout and decay may lead to a higher chance of cancer, but poses no immediate threat to the soldiers. At the time the long term effects of low level radiation exposure were poorly understood because the technology was fairly new.

"Presenting no problem to troops on the ground" Riiiiiiiiiiiight......

[@cobaltbluevision]

The cameraman must've been Superman himself and the camera made of Adamantium

[@RwingDsquad]

This is awesome and so fucking interesting!

[@drinndalynn]

The narrator sounds so proud and matter of fact.

[@1earflapping]

What are those parallel vertical ribbon-like things? In at least one blast, they seemed to appear *before* the fireball. It's also strange that they appear spread out, but oriented vertically and not from the blast center.

[@jimsagubigula7337]

Artificial smoke line to help take measurements.

[@jptang1701]

During many nuclear tests........we can see about a dozen contrails shooting up from the ground prior to detonation. What is that for? What are they?

[@Danielm-hq3eb]

They are to see the effects in the air, I think. Air pressure, wind etc

[@MattrOfTyme]

funny how the buildings and houses are blown away but the camera is untouched and perfectly still .. in some shots the camera must have been 30+ feet in the air to look down on the destruction.

[@roquefortfiles]

I think this guy narrated every 16 mm film i ever saw in elementary school.

[@ellayararwhyaych4711]

Easy-peasy - just tell the army man behind the counter what kind of "effective" destruction you want and you get either an above-ground airburst or a ground level contaminating event or one underwater or a space-based EMP or ... (How INSANE)

[@EduardRitok]

2:58 can someone please explain me, what are those smokey stripes and how they are created? it's been bugging my mind for a decade at least

[@colinkramer1872]

They’re basically big model rockets that are launched prior to the explosion to be at a given altitude to gather data about the blast, not a result of the explosion itself.

[@hugoagogo4324]

What a frightening world we live in

[@Bad_Chad]

I hope they are never used again and hate that it is reality... but I wish I could have witnessed some of the tests in person.

[@spacecommando927]

Watching all that radioactive water and dirt being flung up into the sky my only thought is 'What the hell were those guys thinking?".

[@Danielm-hq3eb]

They just gave their kids back at home cancer

[@sockshandle]

Simply stated they didn't know the adverse effects of radiation doses to such a degree (look up the Atomic era in the united states)

will this video be in 1440p and 4k as well?

[@C3T1C]

appearently this footage was used in the 1983 nuclear war movie, the day after

[@adrianpilbrow]

Some viewers may have noticed a vehicle suddenly appear behind the building at 5:27. This is due to a little know effect of air-burst nuclear explosions called Auto Nuclear Prestidigitation. This strange phenomenon causes classic automobiles to suddenly appear in the radiation shadows cast by large objects in the first moments of the explosion. Unfortunately this method is not a viable way to produce vehicles as experiments have shown the automobiles only spontaneously appear within the destructive blast radius of the explosion meaning they are always destroyed moments after their creation. Theorists have hypothesized this phenomenon is similar in nature and function to the creation and destruction of matter across the event horizon of Black Holes.

[@CaptainUlysses]

The great idea of an antique camera with film pelicula, an electronic sensor if it is not prepared will be destroyed

[@johnkern7075]

Wonderful! I enjoy these old films.

[@Electrophail]

At 5:26, there is no car behind the house. At 5:27 coinciding with the nuclear flash, the car appears. I've seen this before, but never noticed the splice.

[@twism11]

Solar Flash yeah, that’s weird as fuck. Why?

[@JasonLambek]

How on Earth are there 2 thumbs down already?? I don't even understand giving a thumbs down to any of these vids. But before it even plays?? WTH?!?

[@ColdSmokes]

They do this to get attention. It's best to disregard.

[@dannydetonator]

This is public brainwashing into believing the mighty power of National security and normalisation of mass murder after we have grew out of barbaric practices globally. Oh, sorry this is USA never mind. Public opinion strings are attached to anyone not feeling compassion in case of war. Shame on you!

[@doxielain2231]

Some of us don't like the idea of all this treasure, skill, and effort place in the goal of mass murdering millions of people.

[@koba2209]

Yeeah whats not to like about mushroom clouds man. They r awesome. Those thumbs down peeps r craazy man 🙂

[@jenniferhopton3429]

Neuclear radiation poses no threat to troops on the ground,i watched a documentary where said troops where still in 2005 experiencing effects where there children had either died from cancer or had horrible deformities soom of the troops left infertile or ended up with cancer from radiation, they weren't told how dangerous it actually was

[@luisart6651]

5:28 where that car came from????? Behind the house...

[@raymondraptorclaw2901]

Yeah and when the mushroom rises up and blends in with the clouds, it’s probably carrying a lot of radioactive fallout....

[@twism11]

Raymond Raptorclaw yeah, death just taking a hike to rain down somewhere else, no mention of it whatsoever. Tests were still going on, no need to alarm people.

[@Vatsyayana87]

There is no "probably" about it..

[@kratodd]

20,000 tons of TNT (20kt) is a small nuclear blast. Yet it's still horrifically destructive.

[@HarshJain-it2bg]

Who knew that the atomic blasts have HD effects, SD effects and 4K effects.

I keep waiting to see Vault Tec stuff. Or the Vault Tec salesman lol

Alot of this footage I can recognize from The Day After.

[@brianarmstrong9098]

That's because alot of what the day after used was from real footage duh!!!

[@davekey8630]

The mushroom clouds in the day after were fake as the military didn't allow them to use that footage.

[@dakotahill8193]

What are those vertical smoke trails?

[@RideAcrossTheRiver]

Those are smoke trails from solid rockets as indicators of how air flows in the explosion's vicinity.
