Hugh Troy is correct about meteors making a flash.. but not the characteristic Double-flash that a nuke does.

Don’t forget… the main reason no radiation was found was because they did not search at the correct altitudes for it and did not fly directly into the area of the explosion. Why, I don’t know. I suspect they didn’t want to prove it. Just deny it.

While a mushroom cloud is usually taken as a sign of a nuclear explosion it isn’t always true. Hollywood is very good at producing mushroom clouds with gasoline and they can also form naturally under various atmospheric conditions. I remember seeing one over Evansville, Indiana back in the 1950s and I know it was not from a nuclear explosion otherwise I wouldn’t be here today

There was a visual sighting of this event reported by an airline pilot and co-pilot on a South Indian Ocean flight. They reported seeing a mushroom cloud. The story that no radiation was detected was probably just that, a story. Israel has never verified that it has nuclear weapons but it does. The United States knows they have them but goes along with the Israeli position. After all, the USA cannot claim that Iran is a dangerous country with weapons of mass destruction when it’s so-called best ally in the Middle East has 200-300 nuclear weapons and is a threat to any country that doesn’t tow the zionist line.

it could have been a neutron bomb.

Nuclear tit for tat between France and Briton, as what happened in the Antarctic.

“It couldn’t have been a natural phenomena, meteorites do not make double flashes of light characteristic of a nuclear explosion. But given that all parties that may or may not have been involved state it wasn’t theirs, and the fact that radiation fallout was never confirmed, tends to point to something else. ”

This statement is incorrect. Meteoric material can break up in space and the pieces, when entering an atmosphere, can then lead to many flashes or fireballs if the material is large enough. large chunks of matter would make large explosions,e.g. Tunguska. If that matter happened to be of low density, like ice or an agglomeration of small pebblelike rocks, then nothing larger than dust particles would reach the ground/ sea below.
The lack of radiation would be perfectly in line with meteoric material burning up/ exploding as it struck the atmosphere at high speed. So it could have been a natural phenomena after all.

[...] Its not likely we’ll ever know. The facts surrounding the event to this day do not add up, and any potential players in the nuclear arena remain tight-lipped. Most likely, Israel tested a nuclear weapon, but how it managed to not produce detected fallout is a mystery. Could it have been a UFO? Someone in government knows, but they aren’t going to say. – paranomala [...]

Nuclear detonation could also come from a submarine. The relatively low level of the detonation may be indicative of an accident.
Of course, submarine operations are very, very secret, so who’s to say for sure ?

Could the flashes’ve been something along the lines of the mysterious electrical atmospheric effects such as sprites which, though reported for decades by various aeroplane pilots, were, at the time, (and right upto only very recently), dismissed out of hand?
