Description

First hand eye witness testimony and National Archives and Records Administration NARA archival footage of Bluegill Triple Prime 1962 nuclear weapons test that shot down a UAP from an X-ray nuclear blast declassified on NARA.The US Army @USArmy, EG&G , and the DOE @ENERGY filmed the event and recently within the last 2 years released a recording of a Unidentified Anomalous Phenomenon UAP being shot down by a nuclear weapon and practically nobody gave a flip.

The Smoking Gun:
The US Navy recovered the downed UFOB (Unidentified Flying OBject) according to declassified naval logs from November, 1962 in which afterwards the Navy diver went into an in-patient Mental Health Institute and was awarded a medal.

The Five W’s:
Who: US Army, EG&G, and the DOE
What: AVCO Mark IV, Re-entry Vehicle, XW50-X1, Enhanced X-ray warhead
When: October 26, 1962 (Recovery Mission Late Oct-Nov 1962)
Where: Pacific Proving Ground
Why: Bluegill Triple Prime High Altitude Nuclear Weapons Test

At 00:01 on 26 October 1962, amid the peak of the Cuban Missile Crisis, the United States exploded a thermonuclear weapon approximately 48 kilometers above Johnston Island in the central Pacific. Designated Bluegill Triple Prime, this was the fourth attempt to launch the identical device. The three prior efforts had all failed; one failed dramatically when the booster detonated on the pad and scattered weapons-grade plutonium across the island. The shot formed part of Operation Fishbowl, an effort to determine whether a high-altitude nuclear detonation could neutralize incoming Soviet warheads through a surge of X-ray radiation.

Two instrumented KC-135 aircraft, call-signed KETTLE 1 and KETTLE 2, recorded the event with ultra-high-speed cameras. When segments of the film were partially declassified in 1998, an anomaly became apparent. In the KETTLE 2 recording a sizable object can be observed tumbling clear of the nuclear fireball and dropping toward the sea. In the matching segment of the KETTLE 1 film, shot by a different laboratory, the identical region is obscured by a white triangular redaction. Of all the high-speed footage from Operation Fishbowl released that year, only the Bluegill Triple Prime material still contains a classified section. Under a 2012 Department of Energy decision, that classification will remain in force until 2062.
