James Morcan | 11378 comments Operation Fishbowl was a series of high-altitude nuclear tests in 1962 that were carried out by the United States as a part of the larger Operation Dominic nuclear test program. Flight-test vehicles were designed and manufactured by Avco Corporation.

James Morcan | 11378 comments Even though it began before Fishbowl, and even though it was never carried out (to our knowledge), the US Government's little-known Project A119 seems like a footnote or planned sequel to Operation Fishbowl in that the next step might have been to blow up nukes on other planets or celestial bodies...


Project A119, also known as A Study of Lunar Research Flights, was a top-secret plan developed in 1958 by the United States Air Force. The aim of the project was to detonate a nuclear bomb on the Moon which would help in answering some of the mysteries in planetary astronomy and astrogeology. If the explosive device detonated on the surface, not in a lunar crater, the flash of explosive light would have been faintly visible to people on earth with their naked eye, a show of force resulting in a possible boosting of domestic morale in the capabilities of the United States, a boost that was needed after the Soviet Union took an early lead in the Space Race and was also working on a similar project.

The project was never carried out, being cancelled primarily out of a fear of a negative public reaction, with the potential militarization of space that it would also have signified, and because a moon landing would undoubtedly be a more popular achievement in the eyes of the American and international public alike. A similar project by the Soviet Union also never came to fruition.

The existence of the US project was revealed in 2000 by a former executive at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), Leonard Reiffel, who led the project in 1958. A young Carl Sagan was part of the team responsible for predicting the effects of a nuclear explosion in vacuum and low gravity and in evaluating the scientific value of the project. The project documents remained secret for nearly 45 years, and despite Reiffel's revelations, the United States government has never officially recognized its involvement in the study.

Rob Williams | 25 comments It looks like there is a lot of insanity involved with some of these projects, but I think the US and Russia really need to get together and cooperate on plans to protect this planet from asteroids and comets like the ones that have caused more than one mass extinction in the past. Thank you Graham Hancock and Randall Carlson for drawing more attention to the danger and to the Comet Research Group.

Cash App $5 Bonus Code  HFXPKRL  (lisaland) | 2 comments The Scientist were trying to figure out how to get out of this fishbowl we call Earth.

What the Scientist learned

When they exploded weapons in high altitude it makes a ring in the sky, when it should explode evenly, all around, in a circle.

The Glass Celling

There was something pushing down on the explosion. The scientist quickly realized, there is a dome over us.

True Scientist Know

No one or nothing go to space, never have, never will.
