Disaster was averted when military weather forecasters explained that the “jamming” was actually a massive solar flare, a new report reveals.
US Air Force officers who helped prevent a nuclear holocaust revealed the details of the drama for the first time in a report made public Wednesday by the American Geophysical Union. The paper is slated for publication in the AGU journal Space Weather later this year.

Amazed nuclear war hasn't kicked off when you read the article. The fate of the world is just one mistake away. |

Legit. Should pin it. If true this belongs in the annuls of nuclear close calls with Able Archer '83, the Norwegian Rocket Launch and Cuban Missile Crisis. Given the tensions today, wouldn't a Carrington Event type storm cause a world war? Within Chaos, There is Profit! |
