Twilight of the Bomb

"There was less vegetation," he says, eyeing the scattered shrubs now helping the historic blast site to blend into its more natural Southwest surroundings. Seventy years ago, Murray was one of the first men to step foot in this crater.

The last time he was here, he walked out stark naked. Now, the 90-year-old physicist is back with considerably more baggage: a lifetime of questioning his career-making turn, earned at the expense of playing a small role in what he says may have been a war crime. He's brought his son, who's never seen the place where the bomb his father helped build once blasted vast stretches of sand into radioactive glass.

A fleet of aircraft accompanied the Engola Gay over Japan to take pictures but NONE of the still and movie films have been released. Why? Countless eyewitnesses reported observing TWO explosions. One explosion occurred at the midway point between the Engola Gay and the ground. The only logical explanation is the explosion was a "flash bomb." - an ordinary bomb surrounded by nuclear waste that poisoned the population. The second explosion (an electromagnetic pulse bomb) that created the mushroom cloud detonated BELOW ground level. Minutes after the mushroom cloud dissipated, eight Jesuits priests departed an underground bunker six blocks away from ground zero and did not suffer any radiation poisoning. One of the Jesuit priests was the world's leading nuclear physicists. The head Jesuit in Japan was on a mountain range observing the two explosions and went on to become the Jesuit General. When the Jesuits first arrived in Japan 500 years ago, Hiroshima and Nagasaki were their beachheads and they continued to have significant influence in those regions for centuries. The American Military and scientists did not want to ignite the flash bomb and pulse bomb but because the Jesuits had free rein in the two victim cities and regions, the experiment went forward. In 2011 I spoke with one of the crew members who was in the photographic fleet accompanying the Engola Gay. He informed me that the crews from all aircraft had reunions every five years since the flash bomb and pulse bomb were ignited. When I informed him of the Jesuit connection, he shook his head and became angry. He and others never understood why four out-of-place strangers always attended their reunions. They remained silent, did not mix with the crowd but when approached they always identified themselves as Jesuit priests.
