The meteor would cause a bright light, but only for seconds vs whatever a nuke would provide, on the order of minutes or longer. I’m not sure how long the glow of a nuke does last at night.

I agree on the issue of fallout.

Both are ruled out.
Anyone know of any industrial plants in the area?

I wonder how long a reactor meltdown lasts.

I would think that it would be white hot for a while. There would also be a tell-tale radioactive trail.

We will likely only hear what the real deal is in a few months if vodka was really involved.

Industrial site, maybe in a week or two.

It may be a very sparsely populated area and not of much interest really. Who knows if there will even be an explanation.

Would seem easy enough for folks in the area to check out.

Can’t say I blame them. What are we going to do, try to match them? FAT CHANCE. We have NO CLUE if our nukes have any chance of working.

Anyone know of any industrial plants in the area?~

There are some couple dozens industrial enterprises in a town of Rezh (some 35,000 population), including one of Ural’s biggest bakeries, and a Europe’s biggest vinyl tubes maker. There are two textile factories one of which making fabric and another a decent toddler’s clothes, a plant making transformators for powerplants, another two making gem processing equipment, agricultural and railroad machines. There is also a copper mine and a query, a cement plant making prefab concrete blocks. A biggest of all is an old chemical plant but it couldn’t cope with market economy and defunct since earlier 2000s.
