Abstract

Two Soviet nuclear explosions appear to have been made in Central Asia on October 22 and 28, 1962. According to different reports the devices were exploded at ‘greater heights than usual’, but no precise data regarding heights, bomb sizes and times of explosions are available. From magnetic recordings (Dr. Bath, Uppsala, and Dr. Selzer, Paris, private communications) it can be inferred with reasonable accuracy, however, that the explosions occurred at 03.40.45 U.T. and 04.41.20 U.T., respectively. Both explosions yielded very pronounced disturbances of radio wave propagation in Scandinavia and western Europe.
