ATOMIC TEST SITE, New,
June "a (R.-The fifth shot OF

went on with a spectacular bang
over Frenchman Flat at $50
(PDT) this morning.
The blast was well above nor
NAL in size and was the largest
so far Of the current series. OBJ
servers watching it through high
density goggles from 40 miles
away reported it came on like
a second sunrise.
The fireball. as seen from the
observation point used by news
men, rose above the horizon and
formed what looked like a mas
sive caulifiower.
The shot originally was sched-
uled to 60 of yesterday morning
but unfavorable winds forced
postponement.
The nuclear device was ex-
ploded from a balloon suspended
about TOO feet above the desert,
More than $50 military observers
and a number of civil defense
officials witnessed the explosion
The military men were in
trenches about $500 yards from
ground zero.
The size of the blast was not
disclosed. but the Atomic Ener-
Igy Commission had said earlier
that 1t would be above 20 kilo-
tons. or more powerful than the
bombs dropped on Hiroshima
and Nagasaki during World
War II.
More than 900 pigs were used In
the test. Some were covered
with material used in military
clothing. which was to be ex-
amined to determine how it had
been affected by radiation.
The pigs were strung out at
varying distances from ground
zero.
