Hobie, this is bullsh*t. If this is indeed true there is a very simple way to verify it one way or the other. All that is needed is a sample from the detonation site, very simple to do with today’s technology.
Every nuclear device leaves a specific individual signature. My uncle was a nuclear expert in the Army Engineers, he gave me a lot of very interesting information on nuclear weapons. A sample from the obvious crater that would have been produced would yield the isotopes produced from the explosion, they will be there for many decades so the evidence will also still be there for a long time to come.
Those isotopes would reveal the exact bomb detonated. The country of origin, the model of the bomb and even the exact specific weapon as all this information can be matched right back to the specific manufacturing of that particular weapon, sort of like hi tech ballistics, ALL nuclear detonations can be traced back to the originating bomb, records for EVERY nuclear weapon in the US inventory are backed up with all the crucial info. for an exact match.
I’m very surprised that nobody in the military has not brought this subject up.
