MUSHROOM CLOUD RISING FROM THE SEA
(COLD EXPLOSION)

SLIDE 45.

  • 0514 HRS, 9 APRIL 1984

  • GRAY-WHITE CLOUD APPEARED

  • ROSE 60,000 FT IN 2 MIN.

  • 180 MI. S.E. OF HOKKAIDO
    200 MI. FROM TOKYO
    SOUTH OF KURIL ISLANDS

  • SOVIET MISSILE TESTING SCHEDULED ABOUT 350 MI.
    AWAY, AT 2100 HRS 9 APRIL 1984

Indeed, this highly anomalous cloud was due to a cold explosion -- a test of a Soviet scalar EM howitzer in the pulsed endothermic mode.

In the weapon’s targeted interference zone, EM energy (heat) was rapidly withdrawn when the biased endothermic extraction occurred. Above the ocean an intense low pressure zone was created. Water from the ocean was sucked up, as if by a giant vacuum cleaner. The water was violently broken into droplets, forming a dense cloud, with a strong upward momentum.

The surrounding higher pressure air rushed into the low pressure zone, pushing the rising dense cloud of water vapor upward as its upward momentum continued. Mixing caused rapid expansion of the rising cloud, causing its density to thin measurably as it rose and expanded. An effect very similar to the formation of a strong thunderhead resulted, except much faster.

The mixing cloud also resembled the mushroom cloud from a giant nuclear explosion, just as an emerging thunderhead does.

But no outward blast wave resulted as does from a nuclear explosion. Also, no visible flash occurred, probably as a result of deliberate design by the Russians.

Thus a beautiful "stimulus" and test was conducted: quite a few airliners were "pinged," providing a high-level stimulus to competent observers. The news was sure to be reported by them to several nations. The press was sure to pick up the story. This was a high order stimulus to see whether the U.S., Japan, or other potential adversaries of the Soviet Union recognized the testing of a cold explosion weapon.

By our reaction, we assured them (with high confidence) that we still knew nothing of scalar EM interferometry or cold explosions.
