Geoff Cruikshank, aka UFO subreddit legend u/harry_is_white_hot, just posted this 16-page paper (seven pages of proper text along with references, letter responses to his FOIA requests, and stills from the National Archives videos) to his LinkedIn regarding the Oct. 26, 1926 Bluegill Triple Prime first nuclear test in space, one that brought down a UAP.
I have the full .pdf of the document available here:
Geoff has been hot on this trail since still anonymous as u/harry on Grant Lavac's podcast with Ross Coulthart and from last year in which he talks about looking into this case more.
Ross Coulthart interviewed Cruikshank in his first public outing back in August for his Reality Check, which you can watch here:
After that episode aired, I cut the clip of Cruikshank talking about the Bluegill test together with the National Archives footage and Tom DeLonge talking with his co-author AJ Hartley about this test a couple of months prior. DeLonge basically says that "we brought down something else entirely from Roswell and it really made the government reevaluate what it knew about aliens."
Here's another supercut I made two weeks that compiled those clips alongside Diana Pasulka on Joe Rogan and Chris Sharp on Richard Dolan talking about bringing down UAPs with EMP.

Supporting Evidence for Bluegill Triple Prime UAP shootdown theory Geoff Cruickshank B.IT, M.IEEE
Industrial Automation and Security
Overview:
This research relates to the events surrounding the Bluegill Triple Prime nuclear test on 26 October 1962, in which both fully and partially declassified sections of U.S. Government footage clearly show an object tumbling out from within the nuclear fireball as evidence of a method of planetary defence against potentially hostile UAPs. The recovery operations of the object debris by elements of the United States Navy in attendance are documented in the vessel deck logs over the period of 26-31 October 1962.
Theories posited: Primary theory:
1. Inconsistencies between two or more U.S government organizations regarding declassification requirements has resulted in two separate Department of Energy pieces of high-speed footage being released to the public in 1998 that show unidentified anomalous phenomena tumbling out of the fireball of the Bluegill Triple Prime high altitude nuclear test on 26 October 1962.
Secondary theory:
1. Thirty-seven days prior to the Bluegill Triple Prime test, an unidentified object was also filmed following an Avco Mark 4 re-entry vehicle during the terminal re-entry phase of the Atlas 8F ICBM test in the Atlantic Missile Range for approximately 90 seconds. The post-flight test report clearly states that the objects’ “origin or identification could not be determined”. The Bluegill Triple Prime test also used the Avco Mark 4 re-entry vehicle, however in its case it was armed with the XW-50-X1 nuclear warhead. It is hypothesised that this device detonated at an altitude of 48km whilst the unidentified object was still following the RV, sending the object crashing into the Pacific Ocean 35km south of Johnston Island.
2. A well-known effect called thermo-mechanical spall caused by high energy X-rays was the primary factor in causing the terminal flight disruption of the UAP seen tumbling from the Bluegill Triple Prime fireball, through physical damage of the propulsion mechanism and / or flight surfaces.
3. The U.S. Navy successfully recovered debris from the Surface Zero area of the Bluegill Triple Prime test, according to the deck log entries of vessels involved in Operation Fishbowl. The location of where this debris was transferred to under USN may also be able to be resolved – the Atomic Energy Commissions’ Albuquerque Operations Office, under the direction of Assistant Director of the AEC Division of Military Application Lawrence Preston Gise was the primary point of contact for the Operation Fishbowl high altitude nuclear test series.
Documented evidence for these theories:
- Department of Energy footage declassified partially or in full in 1998.1
- A Department of Energy commissioned report in 1984, showing instrumented aircraftarray and position during Bluegill Triple Prime test.2
- Scientific Deputy Commander of Joint Task Force 8 for the resumption of atmospherictesting in 1961 (Operation Dominic) was William E. Ogle. His report “AN ACCOUNT OF THE RETURN TO NUCLEAR WEAPONS TESTING BY THE UNITED STATES AFTER THE TEST MORATORIUM 1958-1961”,3 completed after Ogle’s untimely death in 1984 provides most of the scientific details as evidence for the basis of the theories posited here.
- Three KC-135 aircraft were refitted with instrumentation to capture data of the Bluegill Triple Prime test. At least one aircraft had the instrumentation operated by Edgerton, Germeshausen, and Grier, Inc (EG&G) under contract to Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory for Task Unit 8.2 of Operation Fishbowl, the high-altitude test program for Operation Dominic.4
- Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory (LASL), Sandia Laboratory and Lawrence Radiation Laboratory (LRL) had instrumentation onboard the KC-135 aircraft. The Defense Atomic Support Agency (DASA) also operated one or more of these KC-135 aircraft.5,6
- Ogle states that two of the KC-135s were almost directly below the nuclear detonation to film the fireball and X-ray phenomenology in the first few microseconds of the blast, whilst the third aircraft was located at the conjugate point several hundred miles away to observe cloud formation. Using the aircraft array positions and aircraft tail numbers from the DoE commissioned report, the two aircraft from which the footage was filmed have been identified as those designated KETTLE 1 and KETTLE 2.7,8
- The theory that two or more laboratories analysed their assigned footage independently and then proposed differing classification levels is supported by both well documented animosity between LASL, LRL and DASA9,10 and scientists involved in Operation Fishbowl and follow-on analysis.11
- The slow-motion footage that I have labelled “KETTLE 1” clearly displays a flaming object tumbling from within the fireball. The fact that this is an unexpected event is demonstrated by the EG&G camera operator moves the camera focus away from the nuclear fireball momentarily to search for the tumbling object. In doing this, the operator has lost vital data of the first microseconds of fireball growth, which was the entire reason for filming it.12
- The slow-motion footage that I have labelled “KETTLE 2” shows the effect of high energy X-rays on the atmosphere and is termed the “Alpha” effects. Alpha is how fast he neutron population double and is very important as a fundamental measurement of how well the fission process is actually taking place.13 **At the declassification review in 1998, the Defense Special Weapons Agency team led by Dr. Byron L. Ristvet applied a large white triangle as a sanitization device on the KETTLE 2 footage, within the area of the fireball that the object can be seen tumbling from in the KETTLE 1 footage. As the Originating Controllers (ORCONs) of the two pieces of footage were individuals from different laboratories, it is posited that this is the root cause of the classification discrepancy between KETTLE 1 and KETTLE 2. Dr. Ristvet is currently emp...
