Radioactive Atomic Bomb Cloud

Atomic bomb cloud glows from the intense radioactivity creating ionization inside the cloud itself.

This is the most amazing bomb footage I've ever seen

Always heard of the guys who witnessed the Trinity test talking about the colours from the ionization but the first time I've seen it so clearly in any test.

The people who made the Oppenheimer movie should have seen this first before trying to make a big gasoline bomb look like a nuclear explosion.

It always puzzled me why folks associated nuclear weapons radioactivity with 'green glow', when it is blue. I guess we can thank radium painted clocks and Trinitite for that?

[kevinrivera]

Never seen the blue hue on the clould like that

[Ninja_Revenge]

Here you could clearly see ionizing radiation!

[RaptorMocha]

why are nuclear bombs so damn beautiful?

[chromeinfinity]

Beautiful. Wished it was a bit longer.

[chuleta]

Is the blue light Cherenkov radiation, or is it because of coloring of B/W film?

[andrewparker]

Wow that's incredible! Was this footage shot using a special kind of film or something to more easily see the glow, or was this enhanced in after effects or something?

[JackSchidt]

Who else is droppin a deuce right now??

[BlackMasterRoshi]

what's Phoenix Wright doing down there bottom left?

[randyrhoads]

So this is restored footage, correct? The ionization glow hasn’t been artificially enhanced?

[P-G-]

Cherenkov light... not to show clearly in many nuclear explosions... probably this have a high neutron release...

[generalvikus]

See? No fake noise and everyone likes it.

Ohhh. Why does my gut tell me this is not authentic footage, but rather altered by ai. Give us a country, test name or series and date.
