MYSTERY PLUME CAUGHT ON NEW MEXICO RADAR - LOOKS LIKE A NUCLEAR WEAPONS TEST BUT SUCH TESTS ARE BANNED

Weather experts baffled by mystery plume on New Mexico radar near 1945 nuclear bomb test site
  • There is speculation that the cloud could be the result of a weapons test
  • But the U.S. has not done A-bomb tests since the Test Ban Treaty in 1992
  • Plume originated from White Sands Missile Range in Socorro county
Conspiracy theorists have speculated that the plume-like cloud, which seems to appear out of nowhere, could have been kicked up by the explosion from an unreported weapons test.  Deepening the mystery, U.S. National Weather Service offices in Albuquerque and El Paso have confirmed the reading, but say they have no idea where it could have come from.
 
The plume first appeared at sunset on Monday evening over the part of the vast White Sands Missile Range in east Socorro county, close to the 'Trinity Site' where the first atomic bomb was detonated in 1945.  It was spotted in publicly accessible radar data by a blogger, who tracked its progress and has published his findings in two YouTube videos and a blog post.
