- Video relate to Operation Grapple Z series
On 22 August 1958, US President Dwight D. Eisenhower announced a one-year moratorium on nuclear testing, effective 31 October 1958, if the Soviet Union and the United Kingdom also agreed to suspend testing. Britain had already indicated that it would do so, and the Soviet Union agreed on 30 August.[127] This did not mean an immediate end to testing; on the contrary, all three rushed to perform as much testing as possible before the deadline.[128] The British scientists needed to gather as much data as possible to allow them to design production nuclear weapons. As the prospect of increased American cooperation grew after October 1957, they knew that the quality and quantity of what the Americans would share would depend on what they had to offer. A new British test series, known as Grapple Z, commenced on 22 August. It explored new technologies such as the use of external neutron initiators, which had first been tried out with Orange Herald. Core boosting using tritium gas and external boosting with layers of lithium deuteride permitted a smaller, lighter Tom for two-stage devices. It would be the biggest and most complex British test series (wiki)

First time I've ever seen a fireball captured clearly on film. Also, the commentary was excellent - evidently targeted at someone with some knowledge of nukes (like me, a former Army specialist in NBC).
I second that mate, it is a thing of beauty but....... it hides a horrific event that would be a nightmare if you were a bit closer.
@@gooner72 Agreed. Nuclear detonations are indeed horrific, and if you'll look carefully, I didn't even mention its beauty in my comment. I was talking about the clarity and specificity of the clip. Here's hoping nobody ever uses these things for their designed purpose again!
I have to ask, because I was interested in joining up for CBRN, are those along the same lines and what do they entail?
@@ithoughtheterowasashape CBRN (chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear) used to be called NBC (nuclear, biological and chemical) and before that, CBR (chemical, biological and radiological). Just how the military changes initials now and then.
@@rcknbob1 ohhhh ok. what do you end up doing? I can only assume that you dont generally have many significant events related to those situations.
Awesome. British and French tests had some great footage and unique looking detonations
Brits KNOW how to use their cameras. That's why they have the best documentaries.
Americans are no slouches when it comes to high speed photography. Harold Edgerton's work is groundbreaking in itself and the team of EEG produced some remarkable scientific advancements. Land and others can be included also.
@@godfreecharlie Yeah, I guess. But these ones are _puuuurty!_
Why, thank you very much young man!🇬🇧🇺🇸✌✌
@@godfreecharlie stop feeling like you Americans have to be "better and bigger" than everyone else and just accept that this footage is of an extremely high standard.
This is evil shit and you think it's pretty. Both Anglo counties are wack
These are some of the best filmed tests.
My father was in the RAF (ground support) and was stationed at Maralinga (Australia) and Christmas Island (Grapple X and Y) for most of the British bomb tests in those locations. He witnessed pretty much all of the blasts they did there, but the most surprising thing is he's still alive and well at nearly 88 years of age! He's now one of those grey nomads that travel around Queensland (Australia) in a camper van (he moved to Aus from New Zealand - came to NZ in 1963). He's got quite a few colour slides of Christmas Island, from his time there.
Love this. I would love to witness these bombs like he did. And fantastic that he’s a nomad 👍
This test produced, in my opinion, the most beautiful mushroom cloud ever seen in full daylight.
It’s a beautiful cloud but i think Castle Romeo was the best lol
@Soul Seeker I say it be used on Tehran.
The Chinese conducted their shots during the daytime as well. They have some pretty spectacular shots.
@@ColdSid Castle Bravo was beautiful too. These megaton yield shots were all insane to behold. I hope they never get used in war. ruclips.net/video/T2I66dHbSRA/видео.html
It must have been the high altitude and latitude that made it so unique.
Beautiful yet utterly terrifying!
One of the most beautiful and detailed videos I’ve seen of thermonuclear cloud formation. It’s almost as if it’s overhead giving a magnificent view of the multi section stem/skirt formation. There’s a lot thermo/fluid dynamics going on there!!
Absolutely stunning. I love it!
Love this channel..trully asome staff..
Classical style music still seems to be the best music to watch these films. I wonder how it would go with a live explosion, lol. Great footage, thanks Atomic Tests Channel!
Very awesome 👍👍👍👍👍 not much more to say! But please do not stop! And again thank you my friend!!!
1:10 thats the best looking mushroom cloud i have ever seen.
It has everything. The stem, the veil, the cap and even something that looks like lamellas.
There is something hauntingly beautiful about this. If one didn't know what was going on here it would cause one to believe it is supernatural. To most people anyway. Aside from the nuclear process everything is physics of pressure, gases, temperature, light in the atmosphere in that region of the sky. Phenomenal beauty, captivating.
You put to words; in part, what I find fascinating about these footages. I agree the metamorphic progression of these detonations visibly have a super natural awe to them.
It's man's greatest abomination!
@@MrMachiavelli Absolutely it's not beautiful,it's f**king frightening
It is supernatural. Science is the perfecting of the occult, ie hidden knowledge.
Cool. Never saw these before.
Nice work.
Strange how most nuclear test footage, accompanied with dramatic music, makes the explosion look horrifying. This somehow makes it strangely beautiful and otherworldly.
In a real nuke situation that beautiful cloud u see will be accompanied by houndread of thousands of deaths
This is excellent film footage. Never seen this before.
The atomic detonations are fascinating to me in some way; brighter than the sun, this collection of videos captured the fireball vividly.
Great footage.
Wow. that's high quality. well done.
That was a great video ive never seen before👍
I love the serene music in the background of a megaton sized blast. 🙂
The background music chosen is as hauntingly beautiful as the blast footage itself.
Awesome material.
Beautiful & long overdue.
One of the most impressive detonations I've ever seen- the mushroom cloud actually cast a setting sun's Ray's against a background of linticular clouds.
One for the weather buffs: The later, fully-developed cloud shots show Pyrocumulonumbus-type structures, with stepping wall clouds, similar to a LP Supercell thunderstorm. Tornadoes (not fire whirls) have been documented to have formed from thunderstorms produced by fires (look at Australian Bushfires in Canberra).
The first shot lifts up just as the stem cloud is lowering toward ground level. There appears to be rotation of the column to a fair degree. Is it possible that this nuclear-induced weather system produced a tornado at ground level? The first Nuke-nado?
Saw that too. It looks like a mesocyclone vortex in the thermonuclear cloud right at the base of ‘mushroom’. (doesn’t present itself in the fission cloud) I wonder if the strong vertical updraft was slowing down enough for the Coriolis Effect to cause rotation as in a true supercell mesocyclone.
Seems like a good physics project for thermo and fluid dynamics students.
Very good question!! I think it very well could have.
3:39 ☀️ It even looks like a small sun.
Well that's because in a way...it kind of is. That's because the fireball is produced using nuclear fission and nuclear fusion. And the sun produces energy in Nuclear fusion
If I messed something up please correct me. I'm still learning nuclear physics
@@fordthefox3661 I think you are correct. Both take place in a nuke. Either way it’s a lot of power. Crazy.
@@johnunkerman yeah it's so much power that it's scary...you can't comprehend how much power these things have unless you witness it yourself...but I doubt that will ever happen
@@fordthefox3661 yes hopefully not, but I would have loved to see one too. From a safe distance and not downwind! BTW, fusion and fission both happen and in the thermonuclear bombs (h-bomb). Not sure if there is also fusion the original versions, or just fission. I’m sure someone here knows.... ha ha
@@fordthefox3661 Cough Cough.... 2022....
Beautiful. Would of loved to see these test shots
Preferably from a distance of several miles upwind...
My grandfather died 2 years after this due to radiation poisoning I highly doubt you would.
@@smokush2 would of made sure I was not silly enough to be that close. But you can tell your story to the atomic testing Museum in Vegas they have a theatre and show of a nuclear explosion.
Spectacular fireball photography! Even more impressive when you watch them at 1/4 speed. Awesome in their mushroom cloud formation, these powerful beasts have the power to slam humanity back to the bronze age or eliminate it entirely. Let us hope that we never see these used again to settle a conflict, begin a conflict, or as a terrorist’s ultimate weapon.
They will be needed in future conflicts, and I would even argue they should be used against some of our current adversaries such as North Korea, Pakistan etc.
@@PsyTranceKaitia Nuclear bomb Pakistan? Oh boy. You have some learning to do.
Great footage! Thanks! It would be useful to know the distance of the cameras, dimension of the clouds and fireball, as well as the yield!
When I'm right, 1,2 Mt, 800kt and 25kt.
Beautiful !
💥 STUNNING 💥
I witnessed all the tests during 1958. Haunting and spectacular.
The music is really relaxing
These are my sorts of mushrooms!
That was amazing, truely looks like a mushroom, it's nearly like watching a mushroom grow super fast! The best video I have seen!
Have you ever seen Russia's Tsar bomb detonation ?
@@thepchaipoo6577 a couple, but mostly effects on the plane, and buildings, that was a serious BOOM! I would love to see footage similar to this of it!
@Vladimir Putin that would be awesome, and Hey, I have always been a fan!
@Vladimir Putin yeah, I'll check those out, I would loved to seen a test in person, but I'm not that old, they only did underground test when I was a kid, I'd like to seen those also! But video is great too! Thanks
@Vladimir Putin I'm watching now, I really like history, especially of architecture, and mechanics, I understand .very little Russian, but I still enjoy the video!
Just sit back and watch how beautiful yet scary an explosion can be.
Scary stuff!💣
It is 5 in the morning and that flash blinded me
amazing !!!
Why is this so beautiful to me?
Because it is beautiful. 👍
stunning
Could you imagine someone from the Medieval times witnessing this.
fascinating
6:13
That's where the mushroom cloud from "Hole In the Ground" is from.
"Touch-in: Papa-1"
"14:50, Pressure: 2.5"
i don't know why but damn UK detonations are beautiful looking.
They had a bit of spitfire designed into them
Beautiful footage caught by very very good and brave photographers....Tally Ho, what what!!🇬🇧🇬🇧✌✌
Top sovereign
The release of untold quantities of energy is astounding.
The British Atomic Veterans have yet to be acknowledged that they have ever been even exposed to any harmful radiation. Even as they and the Americans with some tests die with the exact same pathology as the Americans. No special coverage for their services, it's a tragedy watching these men die.
Like radiologist, chemist etc... all working in areas and in periods not known very well the real dangers. In fact for any period exist various dangers, but to view the "damages" have to pass about 10-30 years. From now to 30 years, probably find other substances, now used normally by all... Nothing new.
@@P-G-77 The issue with Atomic Veterans is the dangers to plant and human genetic structures were discovered to be true in 1927, long before any testing of weapons or work building weapons began. UNSCEAR archives Muller reports. Precautions should have been taken, they were found scientifically necessary.
What is the song in this documentary?
Fantastic footage of an affront to humanity.
That affront has keep the larger nations at peace, between each other. Yes, smaller wars continue, but no world wide conflict, thanks to that affront to humanity.
@@kyokogodai-ir6hyA difficult problem to discuss but I don't agree, nuclear weapons are an abomination to humanity, the idea that you must create nuclear weapons to maintain peace is fools errand. The world did well with out these weapons for 4 Billion years or so, only man could be so vain to think the creation of such weapons is essential to maintain peace. Don't believe me, just ask the foolish men who created these weapons in the first place

@@Greendot319
It was an unexpected consequence of the Nuclear era . “MAD” has achieved what is called “The Big Peace” for over 70 years now , I will take it without any regrets . The Nuclear era will eventually provide us with clean energy and stop global warming (if you believe that) and take us off fossil fuels .
@@kyokogodai-ir6hy It amazes me how people don't realize that there were hundreds of thousands of men and women that worked on and were used in these tests to disseminate the human reactions to various exposures as well as the functions of the bombs. In the US alone our entire country was covered in radiation fallout up until the 1960's. (Google the map, if you like) . Meaning our citizens were also exposed to doses of Cesium and Strontium- 90. A test in New Mexico had fallout recorded in New York, Google Kodak film and radiation film. These are literally a worldwide issue with in some families generational genetic issues. Add in the waste products at the over 300 Superfund sites in the US alone. "The Dome " The men who worked on "The Dome " at 18-25 a large percentage came back sterile! For a minimum of 10 years because the human body is amazing and can heal itself. Of 8,000 crew roughly 1,000 are alive in 30 years. By simply dealing with the waste product, old trucks, soil etc. Sorry for the rant. Himan beings all over the world and their children have been irreparable harmed by these weapons.
what a beautifully big and robust mushroom
What causes that skirt formation?
In the smaller KT shot can anyone tell me what produces such a cloud? I assumed wrongly I guess that most of a mushroom cloud was formed by the vacuum effect of the void being refilled with air & dust from the ground
So beautiful, yet so terrifying and dangerous…
Any idea where these were. My dad witnessed half a dozen when he served. I believe that they were all at Christmas Island in the 60s
just wondering which bomb this one was and what its yield was. There were 4 bombs in grapple z, all with different yields
I want the name of the sountrack please
A very beautiful sight, the smokey yucky fission material cloud looks like it sounds....
How far is camera?
Does anybody know the music ?
This mushroom cloud is one of my favourites!
1:20 that’s a scary sight to see I’m glad that I don’t live in a world where I see that on a regular on tv
So bright I couldn't look at cell phone screen! 😳😎
The saturation on the film is deceptive. I don’t think the human eye (with filter goggles) would detect the same phenomenon.
Good.
Can somebody explain the effect of the ice on the mushroom head to me? Is it the height? I guessed this mushroom is still pretty hot
Flute, harp, thermonuclear bomb ... what could be more relaxing?
Kittens and the bomb !🐱🐱🍺🌅
A 9 out of 10 for aesthetics here.....
Does anyone know the yield of this weapon?
how big was this test bomb?
What’s the yield
What is this a friendly nuke the most peaceful nuke explosion I have ever seen
Amazing. It looks like some kind of sea creature like a jelly fish
Does anybody know about the yield of the two shots?
It mentions that the first one was megaton size, which likely means the ones after it were in the kiloton range. But even with that, I too would like to know the exact yields.
I guess 1,2Mt, 800Kt and 25Kt. But only if this was Grapple Z.
@@MisterIvyMike which grapple is this one.
Da che distanza è ripresa?
anyone know the yield?
All that energy from the force that holds a teaspoon of material’s atoms together. The strong force disrupted.
Waaaw, For those who notice that when the explosion formed a cloud like a mushroom, it collided with a hard, polished ceiling like a mirror, which led to a reflection of the image of the explosion and caused the explosion cloud to expand and spread out like dough in a bakery oven.
It's amazing 😳😳😳😳😳😳
How can a BALLOON carry a hydrogen bomb? That must've been a giant, giant balloon, but we don't see any balloon. Err what?
If Kubrick filmed atomic test footage.
3:50 a temporary star
Nadie se dió cuenta de qué se intentó hacer en esta prueba,o fue casualidad,que en la explosión se formó un minisol por varios segundos,lo hicieron a propósito o tuvieron suerte???.
There has to be an invisible sun
It gives its heat to everyone
There has to be an invisible sun
That gives us hope
When the whole day's done
Please answer my question why does it look like it blew up mid air me and my family has been woundering for so long
Because they did. They were all airbursts. Two was dropped from planes and detonated at about 2500 meters altitude, and two was suspended by balloons at about 450 meters altitude.
@@schr75 very interesting
Exploded above ground to reduce the amount of earth etc that would be sucked up and later fall down as radioactive dust aka fallout
How thoughtful of us Brits😂
Really appreciate the cloud formation differences in donations from the UK to many of the American ones
I was there, R.A.F ground crew.
Is the narrator British or Australian? His accent sounds less than 100 percent British. Some variants of the Australian accent were like that back then.
That’s the most powerful nuclear bomb jve seen mental
2:27 and 3:00 never seen this clear footage of a mushroom cloud
How can a balloon carry an H-bomb? The balloon must've been enormous, yet we don't see any balloon? I don't understand?
Sun of a... bomb.
Son of a-bomb.
that music,final fantasy 7 anyone?
Magic Mushrooms!
Wow!! Now if one was to show me a photo of the explosion as its circular and bright yellow I would have said its a photo of the sun using filters on the lenses. But when you think about it that is a man made sun that lasts a few seconds. I love space documentaries and the sun is a hydrogen reaction that's going on but next level.
I like the real colors of their footages. This quality makes them also highly attractive for many pyrotechnic fans all over the world, me including. 🎆
On the other hand most of the US footages for me are not so fascinating, because their was often used these unreal colored orange filters, I don't like.
A giant mushroom 🍄 cloud of toxic radioactive fallout. Tasty video of how our demise may play out.
The real threat is the Electromagnetic pulse emitted by thermonuclear detonation, weapons specifically designed for maximum electromagnetic pulse have been developed and fielded my the major nuclear powers. They fly first and their detonation will have little effect on the physical health of the majority of the population beneath the detonation as they are detonated high up in the atmosphere or in near space. They will destroy almost everything electric/electronic. Communication systems, transportation systems, manufacturing, power plants, satellites and almost everything else will be disabled. Computers and databases will be erased in a millisecond. No phone, no internet, no transportation no medication, no money, banks, government. In an instant we are plunging back through time into the 18th century.
@@mrtimothy2614 the fires will cause immense damage on land. Fires will rapidly spread because the infrastructure collapses.
@@OneWithTheUniverse55 there won't be that many fires because there won't be that many detonations. The EMP will disrupt the communications system and command and control system for the ICBM and bombers and many will crash. If you'd like to get an excellent perspective of the destruction and aftermath of a nuclear war I recommended the book "War Day" if you can find a copy. It was on the desk of President Carter and President Reagan. It's gleaned from white papers and contingency reports by the DOD, the intelligence community, nuclear weapons agency experts. I worked with nuclear weapons in the military and have studied the real world situations for many years. Btw the fires from the Hiroshima and Nagasaki detonations burned themselves out.
We did more damage to the city of Tokyo with the first firebombing raid than with the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Flattened over a dozen square miles of Tokyo.
I love that the ad which ran before this video was for baby toys... & I don't have kids.
Thousands of untold deaths and cancers
