I agree...but the media did not tell everyone about their secret meeting with Ridge and others (Brokaw,etc). When was the last nuke test that we know of occur?...because these pictures do not look like the film quality of 50's or 60's film...they do seem to look like something current...Is it possible that the picture is not really a nuke but some other large explosion...

Ansel Adams.

A lot of inexpensive film from that time period that was casually stored has not been well preserverd but that's because the shelf life for the inexpensive film from that era was not as good as more recent film. You could still make top-quality photos however - it was just more expensive than it would be today. If those were made by the weapons program in the US Government they'd have access to the best technology availble.
