The Atomic Times:   My H-Bomb Year at the Pacific Proving Ground
by Michael Harris

Operation Redwing, the biggest and baddest of America's atmospheric nuclear weapons test regimes, mixed saber rattling with mad science, while overlooking the cataclysmic human, geopolitical and ecological effects. But mostly, it just messed with guys' heads.  

In THE ATOMIC TIMES, Michael Harris welcomes readers into the U.S. Army's nuclear family where the F-words were Fallout and Fireball. In a distinctive narrative voice, Harris describes his H-bomb year with unforgettable imagery and insight into the ways isolation and isotopes change men for better--and for worse

NUKED: I Was A Guinea Pig For The U.S. Army
by Michael Harris

THE FIVE ATOMIC F-WORDS: FIREBALL, FALLOUT, FUSION, FISSION, F*CKED UP 

NUKED, by Michael Harris, is a companion to his memoir, THE ATOMIC TIMES:  My H-Bomb Year at the Pacific Proving Ground, nominated by Random House for a Pulitzer Prize.  In 1956—from Saturday, May 5 to Sunday, July 22—17 high yield nuclear devices (otherwise known as H-Bombs) were detonated in top secret tests.  Ground Zero was located in the South Pacific because, according to the Department of Defense, the weapons “could not be tested in Nevada.”  Why? They were “unsafe.” 

NUKED focuses primarily on these explosions, codenamed Operation Redwing, and tells the story of What Went Wrong. What was dangerous. What it felt like being a human guinea pig.   
1,612 army men were exposed to radiation. So was the rest of the all male contingent (civilians and members of other armed forces), a total of 14,643.   We were left to fend for ourselves and had to face radioactivity and military incompetence without recourse, relief or protective gear. 

UFO's and Nukes:  
Extraordinary Encounters at Nuclear Weapons Sites
by Robert Hastings

Although most people are completely unaware of its existence, the UFO-Nukes Connection is now remarkably well-documented.  U.S. Air Force, FBI, and CIA files declassified via the Freedom of Information Act establish a convincing, ongoing pattern of UFO activity at American nuclear weapons sites extending back to December 1948.

Moreover, these mysterious incursions are not ancient history, so to speak, occurring only during the Cold War era.  Indeed, evidence suggests that multiple, ongoing incidents have taken place near ICBM sites operated by Malmstrom AFB, Montana, as recently as October 2012.  

For more than 40 years, noted researcher Robert Hastings has sought out and interviewed former and retired U.S. Air Force personnel regarding their direct or indirect involvement in nuclear weapons-related UFO incidents. 
 These individuals—ranging from retired colonels to former airmen—report extraordinary encounters which have obvious national security implications. In fact, taken to their logical conclusion, these cases have planetary implications, given the horrific consequences that would result from a full-scale, global nuclear war.   To date, Hastings has interviewed more than 150 military veterans who were involved in various UFO-related incidents at U.S. missile sites, weapons storage facilities, and nuclear bomb test ranges. The events described by these individuals leave little doubt that the U.S. nuclear weapons program is an ongoing source of interest to someone possessing vastly superior technology.  The witnesses said that they felt compelled to speak out about the reality of UFO activity at nuclear weapons sites and urged the U.S. government to finally reveal the facts to the American people and the rest of the world.
