Interesting, but nonsense. Call it what you want, but my father witnessed several while in the Navy and had all the strange cancerous skin growths to prove it. He was stationed in the Pacific.
My uncle was in the Army, one of the soldiers in the trenches in Nevada. They’d all be wearing protective goggles, facing backwards in the trench, and after the gale force wind passed over, they’d climb out and run to ground zero with Geiger counters. He was second to last of his unit to die of cancer, mainly leukemia, at age 70. Another man outlived him by a few months, also dead of leukemia. Men started dying in their late 30’s, most in their 40’s and 50’s.
