Abstract
RECENT observations of geophysical effects of high-altitude nuclear explosion1 have indicated that such blasts give rise to signals similar to solar flares when recorded in the 27 kc./s. range. A re-examination of the 27 kc./s. record of August 12, 1958, obtained in Pittsburgh, Pa., shows a striking similarity to the integrated atmospherics obtained in Japan, but delayed by about 1 hr.
