Exact weather information is a prime necessity during atomic test periods. To obtain information concerning air pressure, temperature and humidity, these captive, helium-filled Kytoon balloons, are supplied by the USAF's Air Weather Service during the AEC's periodic atomic tests at the Nevada Proving Grounds. Kytoon balloons are sent aloft before each nuclear test, and are hauled down minutes before the actual detonation occurs. Last minute weather information is thus relayed by remote control to the AEC Test Director at the Proving Grounds Control Point-un-edited-Not part of my personal collection

I finally stopped by Atomic Wings to see if their Suicide Sauce is as spicy as people on TV claim. What I tasted at the Lower East Side location was somewhat disappointing. It is spicy, but reminded me of the Kajun Fire Habanero hot Sauce I picked up for a buck.
