Something crashed from the sky - sparking an urgent retrieval mission - after that, the world changed.

On October 26, 1962, the United States conducted the Bluegill Triple Prime nuclear test as part of Operation Fishbowl, a subset of Operation Dominic.

The Bluegill Triple Prime test detonated a nuclear warhead 48 kilometers above Earth to study how high-altitude explosions affect ballistic missile systems.

Decades later, newly declassified evidence suggests something far more extraordinary—a possible collision with an unidentified object, which I believe was a craft advanced non-human origin.

Footage, scientific reports, and naval recovery logs hint at a dramatic event where nuclear weapons technology intersected with the unknown.

This test was a key Cold War experiment.

The XW-50-X1 warhead was built to emit high-energy X-rays, designed to disable missile re-entry vehicles by causing intense heat and internal damage, a process called thermo-mechanical spall.

While the test aimed to push missile defense technology, the evidence shows it may have done much more.

A mysterious object following the Avco Mark 4 re-entry vehicle appears to have been destroyed, raising questions about what really happened that day—and what was in the sky with us.

The most compelling evidence supporting the presence of a mysterious craft during the Bluegill Triple Prime test comes from two separate pieces of high-speed footage, known as KETTLE 1 and KETTLE 2.

Captured by modified KC-135 aircraft equipped with specialized cameras, these films were produced by the renowned Edgerton, Germeshausen, and Grier, Inc. (EG&G), under contract with the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory and the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory at Livermore, CA.

The level of expertise and precision involved in this operation underscores the significance of what was recorded.

The KETTLE 1 footage reveals an extraordinary anomaly: an object visibly tumbling out of the nuclear fireball.

This sight was so unexpected that the camera operator instinctively shifted focus from the fireball’s expansion to track the object, a decision that inadvertently resulted in the loss of critical data on fireball growth.

The very act of shifting focus underscores the anomaly's importance—something so unusual that it demanded immediate attention, even at the cost of the primary test objectives.

In contrast, the KETTLE 2 footage primarily captured the X-ray effects of the detonation but features a conspicuous white triangular sanitization mark, applied during a later declassification review.

This mark obscures the same region where the anomalous object appears in KETTLE 1.

The inconsistency between the two films suggests a divergence in classification judgments between the laboratories responsible for analyzing the footage, raising further questions about what was seen—and why it was partially hidden from public view.

Together, these pieces of footage offer a rare and tantalizing glimpse into an event that defies conventional explanations, leaving behind more questions than answers and hinting at the presence of something extraordinary during the test.

The discrepancies between KETTLE 1 and KETTLE 2 are more than technical anomalies—they are vital clues to the true nature of what transpired.

These inconsistencies, likely stemming from independent reviews by separate entities such as the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory (LASL), Lawrence Radiation Laboratory (LRL), and the Defense Atomic Support Agency (DASA), hint at deeper divisions.

When the footage was analyzed in 1998, these organizations reportedly reached differing conclusions about its sensitivity.

The significance of this event becomes even more compelling when considered alongside the Atlas 8F missile test conducted just weeks earlier, on September 19, 1962.

During that test, an unidentified object was observed closely following the Avco Mark 4 re-entry vehicle for an extraordinary 90 seconds.

The post-flight report acknowledged the object's presence but admitted its origin or identity could not be determined.

The parallels between the Atlas 8F test and the events during the Bluegill test are striking, particularly since both involved the same re-entry vehicle design.

In the case of the Bluegill test, the theory suggests that the nuclear detonation disrupted an unidentified craft that had been tracking the re-entry vehicle as it descended toward its terminal phase.

The immense energy released during the detonation—specifically the high-energy X-rays—may have critically damaged the craft’s propulsion systems or internal structure, leading to its uncontrolled descent into the Pacific Ocean.

When viewed together, these incidents paint a picture of something far more profound than a test.

The underlying mechanism for the object’s flight disruption aligns with the scientific principles being tested during Bluegill Triple Prime.

Thermo-mechanical spallation, as described by Dr. Byron Ristvet of the Defense Special Weapons Agency (1998), is a well-documented effect of high-energy X-rays on materials.

This process involves the rapid heating of a material’s surface by X-rays, creating an internal shockwave that can cause catastrophic damage.

In the context of the Bluegill detonation, the enhanced X-ray flux from the XW-50-X1 warhead may have interfered with the object’s propulsion system or internal electronics, leading to its apparent failure.
