#1 In July 1945, the Fermi family moved to Los Alamos, New Mexico, where Laura worked as a medical assistant for Dr. Louis Hempelmann. The site had been selected in part because it was within the Alamogordo Bombing and Gunnery Range, established in 1942.
#2 On July 16, 1945, Laura Fermi heard talk of a blazing light seen at dawn by one of the male patients at Los Alamos hospital, who was awake at 5:30 in the morning. She was eager to learn what had taken place, and why such an unearthly light had preceded the Sun.
#3 The atomic bomb was a huge success for the Americans, and they used it to destroy the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. On August 9, 1945, the 10,800-pound plutonium-based Fat Man bomb was dropped on Nagasaki.
#4 The Manhattan Project, which was tasked with developing an atomic bomb, implemented three enormous secret facilities for specific science goals: the Gas diffusion and electromagnetic processes at Oak Ridge, Tennessee; the nuclear reactors capable of producing the necessary plutonium at Hanford, Washington; and the design and actual construction of the bomb at Los Alamos in New Mexico.

#1

In July 1945, the Fermi family moved to Los Alamos, New Mexico, where Laura worked as a medical assistant for Dr. Louis Hempelmann. The site had been selected in part because it was within the Alamogordo Bombing and Gunnery Range, established in 1942.

#2

On July 16, 1945, Laura Fermi heard talk of a blazing light seen at dawn by one of the male patients at Los Alamos hospital, who was awake at 5:30 in the morning. She was eager to learn what had taken place, and why such an unearthly light had preceded the Sun.

#3

The atomic bomb was a huge success for the Americans, and they used it to destroy the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. On August 9, 1945, the 10,800-pound plutonium-based Fat Man bomb was dropped on Nagasaki.

#4

The Manhattan Project, which was tasked with developing an atomic bomb, implemented three enormous secret facilities for specific science goals: the Gas diffusion and electromagnetic processes at Oak Ridge, Tennessee; the nuclear reactors capable of producing the necessary plutonium at Hanford, Washington; and the design and actual construction of the bomb at Los Alamos in New Mexico.

#5

The Army brought Jumbo, a plutonium bomb, to the Trinity site on a specially-built trailer with 64 wheels. It was never used for a radioactive test, but it was called into service once to test non-nuclear explosives.
Insights from Chapter 2

#1

The ranch house of the Padilla family, just 18 miles northwest of Trinity, was the first location where the American public experienced a UFO. The boys who were witnesses, Jose and Reme, would become the first witnesses to testify about the event.

#2

The land that is now Texas was originally occupied by three Native groups: the Mogollon, who lived in the highlands of New Mexico and Arizona, the Hohokam, who lived in the southern deserts, and the pueblo-dwelling Anasazi of the high mesas to the north. But these tribes were in decline when the Spaniards arrived and built their own settlements.

#3

The Apaches were nomadic warriors who formed alliances with the sedentary peoples they protected, but the hired white marksmen kept killing animals all over New Mexico and Arizona, which led to a massive decrease in the local tribes’ herds.

#4

The bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki marked the end of World War II. With the Nagasaki strike on August 9th, and the negotiations for the surrender of Japan, everybody finally started breathing more freely, knowing that the conflict was coming to an end.

#5

The case of the Padilla Ranch crash was largely ignored by the media, but it was significant because it was the first UFO crash in the recent American record. It wasn’t well-known because the initial story hadn’t been followed up by publicity-seekers.

#6

The interview continued with Paola asking about the date of the crash. Reme replied that it was in the month of August, 1945. He was seven years old at the time, and his friend Jose was nine. They were checking fences and counting cows when they were sent to look for a cow that had calved.

#7

Faustino had purchased a cow and a bull from Spain, and was breeding them. He had also purchased a 100-foot wide grader, and was grading a road through the desert.

#8

The boys’ account of the crash was very similar to the sound of a bomb going off, and they were able to see something over on the edge of the graded path. It didn’t go just straight, but made a right turn like an L.

#9

The boys were shaken by the incident, and when they returned to the site, they saw a hole in the side of the object. They could see creatures moving inside it, and they felt sorry for them. They thought they were kids, too.

#10

The boys’ duty to their parents was critical in deciding whether or not to go into the ship. They had seen something strange, but didn’t know what it was. They thought it might be kids, and they didn’t want to go near it.

#11

The two boys returned to the site the following day, and measured the object. It was about 25 to 30 feet long and 14 feet high, which they knew because rafters on a house are 14 feet tall.
