fired into the Pacific skies from

Johnston Island today. The test

shot illuminated the heavens and

was seen brightly by thousands

in Hawaii, 700 miles to the north

east.

Monica McKechnie, Waikiki va

told of clearly seeing the ball of

fire from Waikiki Beach and

asked. “Would you advise me te

leave?” She was told not to be

alarmed.

Two air line pilots on a flight

from Honolulu saw the explosion

other mushroom cloud that in

At that height the blaat possi

bly was on the fringe of space.

Urner said: "U was of gNnt

magnitude with a beautiful red

glow which slowly dissipated Into

a white glow.”

Twenty minutes after the flash

the fliers could see n red fringe
