Operation Dominic: The 1962 Nuclear Test That Found Something Above Earth | Conspiracy Theories
Sleep TheoriesShow Notes
Starfish Prime, Operation Dominic, and the 1962 high-altitude nuclear tests: a Cold War conspiracy sleep story about the night America detonated a hydrogen bomb in space, and what may have answered. On July 9, 1962, a Thor missile carried a 1.4-megaton warhead 400 kilometers above the Pacific. The blast lit up Hawaii’s sky, knocked out streetlights in Honolulu, and created artificial radiation belts that crippled satellites, including Telstar. On a mountaintop in Maui, a classified team of physicists was watching something else: a hidden pattern inside Earth’s magnetic field, and a signal that seemed to reply.
