An unusual find has since appeared in Vladimir: nothing less than a meteorite. Pensioner Anatoly Proschin discovered the meteorite in a border on his farm and brought the unknown rock to Vladimir astronomers, who identified his find clearly as a meteorite. All the evidence supports it: the brown c...

As a defence scientist, Archie Pennie led a 1964 experiment to recreate the effects of a nuclear weapon by exploding 500 tonnes of TNT. The experiment was known as 'Operation Snowball,' with an estimated blast one-fifteenth of that at Hiroshima. The on-site preparations called for a maze of elect...
