Listen now as escape brings you Michael Gray's exciting story, the invader. Here in the Nevada Desert our forward observation post is a slit trench less than two miles from ground zero of Operation Dorset, 8A bomb test.

The time exactly 30 seconds to age hour. That's the voice of our official guide, Colonel Jim Donovan. All personnel belong to effective grisps and get below country redments. We have HR, lifting, 14, 15, 10, 6.

There it goes. There it is. You'll hear the sound of the explosion any second now. Did you see that flash commander? Yes.
