Abstract
Observations made from Western Samoa of the artificial auroral display in the region magnetically conjugate to the nuclear explosion of July 9, 1962, are described. Notable features of the display were its great intensity (6.5 × 106 rayleighs for [OI] 5577 Å), the presence of helium emissions, and characteristics of helium or heavier particle excitation. Lithium emission was found to be present in twilight for observations made up to six days after the explosion.
