Flat Earth Minute or So... * Operation FishBowl (1962) *
From Video : During The Same Time Period After the discoveries made in Operation Deep Freeze, Both The United States and Russia began conducting High Altitude Explosion Test during the night as if they were looking for something. All this going on during the Heat of The Cold War, an uninvited Scientific Expeditionary Ship from the Soviet Union was stationed near Johnston Island for the test and another Soviet Scientific Expeditonary Ship was located in the southern conjugate region (Making it so obvious that The U.S. and Russia are acting like enemies, when in reality they are not). Finally reaching an Agreement in Oct. 7, 1963, Russia and The U.S. Signed (by John F. Kennedy) The Limited Air Test Ban Treaty. Soon After John F. Kennedy is Assassinated.
There were three phenomena (During Operation Fishbowl) in particular that required further investigation :
1. The electromagnetic pulse generated by a high-altitude nuclear explosion appeared to have very significant differences from the electromagnetic pulse generated by nuclear explosions closer to the surface.
2. The auroras associated with high-altitude nuclear explosions, especially the auroras that appeared almost instantaneously far away from the explosion in the opposite hemisphere, were not clearly understood. The nature of the possible radiation belts that were initially generated along the magnetic field lines connecting the areas of the auroral displays were also poorly understood.
3. Areas of blackout of radio communication needed to be understood in much more detail since that information would be critical for military operations during periods of possible nuclear explosions.
