Zero's supposed birth day and year.
Great closing credits song as the mushroom clouds rise into the sky.
Vera Lynn.
Not a UFO drop off. They would have dropped off a superior being.
Looks like I accidentally hijacked this thread on post 10. I used to do that on purpose. But I have meeowed over time and apologize.
Logically you are correct on that but you have to consider from what part of the UFO this came from....my guess, the back end.
Oh the holding tank. I think you nailed it then. My bad.
“I’m not talking just about that incident, there were many incidents. False ICBM signals, communications failure, etc. During the Cold War.”
To say nothing of the shortly upcoming Cuban Missile Crisis itself.
I was born during it. Probably put my mom into labor from the stress. (grin)
Thanks Mr Radical. Additional:
Atom bomb nearly detonated over North Carolina in 1961

And from the FRchives:
Nuclear bomb possibly found (Unarmed Device dropped in ocean off Georgia during Cold War)
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/1215179/posts
[snip] The United States lost 11 nuclear bombs in accidents during the Cold War that were never recovered, according to the Brookings Institution, a Washington think tank. An estimated 50 nuclear warheads, most of them from the former Soviet Union, still lie on the bottom of the world’s oceans, according to the environmental group Greenpeace. [/snip]
One of the most quotable movies in history. A couple of my favorites:
Major Kong:Heck, I reckon you wouldn't even be human bein's if you didn't have some pretty strong personal feelin's about nuclear combat.
And
General Turgidson: Perhaps it might be better, Mr. President, if you were more concerned with the American people, than with your image in the history books.
I also had a couple friends who did a wonderful parody of the method of deciding who would go into the mineshafts and the fact that a computer would be programmed to choose based on youth, nearsightedness and computer programming skills.
Goldsboro (and Faro ) are in NORTH Carolina. I used to live about 10 miles west of Faro.
BTW, Massachusetts... Is that a suburb of Nova Scotia?
(Just kidding. We rednecks understand that all "flyover country" looks the same to those not blessed to live here. "Gomennasai" , "Lo siento", "Pole sana", "Je suis désolé )
Sorry, folks; it gets much, much worse.
Regarding
"The MK39 Mod 2 bomb did not possess adequate safety for the airborne-alert role in the B-52," Parker Jones wrote.
ALL THREE aircraft-borne safety measures failed during aircraft breakup; one little switch on the bomb...
Note the footnote regarding the B53.
On that subject: The B53 was incorporated into Titan ICBM warheads as the W53, in service up through 1997, the last of which not disassembled until just under 2 years ago. Recall the Titan silo explosion on 19 Sept 1980 in Arkansas...
As late as September 1995 during Clinton the DOE explained, "...the B61-11 was not a new bomb but simply a modified version of the existing B61-7 to replace the older and unsafe B53. "There is no new mission," DOE assured."
IIn the latter-linked release, they also make the alarming statement:
"The B61-7 does meet modern safety design criteria, including electrical nuclear detonation safety.."
Translation: The B53 DID NOT meet modern safety design criteria, removed from service only in 1997 and only finally completely rendered 'safe' (all disassembled) 2 years ago October.
The government had known about safety issues in the B53 "for twenty years," Sandia Director Paul Robinson stated in 1997. But the brute force of the weapon was considered the only means for holding a few high-priority Soviet underground targets at risk, so public safety was disregarded.
Warm & fuzzy, huh?
Does anybody here remember her?
All good ones. The rant about flouride and the attack on men’s precious bodily fluids was good too.
Does anybody here remember her?
I just "discovered" her not too long ago. I was amazed to find out she's still alive!
I don't get the Iran part... can you explain? Thanks.
A proposed final solution to Iran's underground bomb factories is a nuclear "earthquake bomb".
