1950s US Atmospheric Nuclear Test Footage Compilation
The United States conducted atmospheric nuclear weapons tests in Nevada and at the Pacific Proving Grounds throughout the 1950s. The footage combines scenes from at least two or three detonations rather than documenting a single test. The clips show a flash and whiteout across a flat horizon, a dark cloud column rising above the ocean, a large white cloud cap viewed from an aircraft and a fireball filmed above a cloud deck. Other scenes show a wood-frame test house being blown apart and an orange glare behind structures on the horizon. The house sequence is characteristic of civil-effects testing conducted at the Nevada Test Site, where buildings were exposed to nuclear blasts to study structural damage. |

Pretty interesting. Is that just a clip from something longer though? If so, I would love to see the rest of it.

Well, that sucks. If you ever do happen to find out where they came from or full videos, can you please let me know?  |

Re: 1950s US Atmospheric Nuclear Test Footage Compilation
That was great. It is amazing that after seeing the devastation in Hiroshima that countries would still even want them. They are an incredibly devastating weapon with a responsible owner but even more scary when the country is Iran who would use it without conscience. |

Re: 1950s US Atmospheric Nuclear Test Footage Compilation
i've been to trinity, actually threw up there. drank too much the night before. i live very close. nothing there to really see. but the old video are really interesting. there are a lot of abandoned bldgs and other old stuff all over the missile range that had a lot to do with the nuclear developement. boring to most but i like checking them out.
