Fantastic post..!

In fact, Aum Shinrikyo had a show broadcast on Radio Moscow at the time. I remember listening to it, it was the weirdest thing I’d ever heard.

The execution date is unannounced to all, including the prisoner

Kind of like the fate of most mortals.

A large but Conventional explosive detonation? And it could be anyone including tha Australian government, or with its permission.

Every day the warden walks past the condemned man’s cell, and stops, and looks him over. Then one day he says “today”, and that is it. Part of the punishment is the daily uncertainty.

But wouldn’t that irradiate certain objects in the area, any ferrous metal for example? And there are always certain amounts of the U235 or Pu that do not fission, yes?

Also, such a device is pretty far down the development chain.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

any large explosion leaves traces, residue, dust particles, craters, smashed rocks, dirt, trees/vegetation, etc.

File this article under “FAKE NEWS DOWNUNDER”. Take two aspirin and call Quigley Downunder in the morning.

Thanks much for the Aum info.

I remember the wispy beard dude who provided the pee, vaguely.

Scary stuff, and it totally fell off the radar, it seems.

Maybe not

More than likely, a fuel air bomb. No radiation was detected. A coincidence involving a meteor is unlikely. In May, a huge explosion and by September, they are making Sarin gas?

[Chewbarkah]

That’s death by hanging around.

I follow Casey quite a bit, and have been intrigued as to whether his La Estancia project will continue to attract investors. Expat communities are sprouting up across South America particularly in Equador.

[Mariner]

It is not possible to set off a uranium bomb and not have it be conclusively identified and localized.

It’s simply not possible.

The Banjawarn Bang was a similar event to the 2013 Chelyabinsk meteor, just a bit smaller. At the time of the bang, Aum Shinrikyō had'nt moved onto the property. They didn't start paying rent until three days after the bang. The waveforms of nuclear seismic events have a very sharp attack which gradually fades. The Banjawarn Bang was much smoother, far more like a natural earthquake or meteor. However, the IRIS (Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology) lists its depth at 10 kilometers. Ma Nature playin' with us again. https://skeptoid.com/episodes/4531

Tested in 1973-1975 by US govt. Probably used in Kosovo-Serbia by US jets to knock out tank crews but leave the tank intact by bombarding background secondary radiation with soft neutrons. Even the Ruskies have it. Guess where they are testing it?

[SteveH]

I dunno, what if the explosion was set off in a cave deep underground? (Just speculating.)
