NG photographs of the NCR from the eastern A/C 53120 were
obtaincd, co the only useful NCR films of EGG were taken from the norther,,

rh~tosonics 1'ýB camera running at 3G0 frames per sec and a Traid at 16

3r, several cameras with framing rates of 16 per sec, and also on a Photc.sonies
4C framing at 2309I pc: sec as well as several Robot cdmeras taking one frame
per second.
The earliest exposures published are those from the Fhotosonics 10B
cam.era (Film. 93227, framJng rate 360 per sac, exposure time 67 psoc) . The
first frame of the record is denoted frame zero by EGG. It was overexposed
and contairns no useful information for the NCR. The next frame, frame 1, was
exposed at 4.1 rnsec. The expanding debris is clearly visible in this frame,
but there is no detectable luminosity ftom the NC. (th!L contr:.dict.; the p-o-
liminary report in Ref. 7 that the "A aurora" appeared in all frame of this
serien, but was cropped out in preparing the enlargements for publication).
T'ram( 2 (6.9 rnsec) shows the beginning of a lurninous'patch in the fore-
ground at a position consistent with the Intersection of ti.e burst-point field

to believe they did. The LASL photographs do give some indication that
th h.otas deposited their energy at anomalously high altitudes in the NCR.
Interpretation of these photographs is rather difficult, however, becauseof the near-simultaneous arrival of the debris and the relatively slow framing
rate of the camera with which tho photographs were taken. The EGG photos
offer some substantiation of the !ASL data, but they also are Inconclusive
because of the unfavorabla line of sight of the camera relative to the field
lines.
Arrival of betas and debris in the SCR were further separated in time.
The EGG photos in the SCR Indicate a behavior of the betas more nearly in

6.7 ard Sandia rockets (see Chapter 7), and the lack of obvious evidence
for the targe effects in the conjugate regions.
It is ui.:ortunate that no radio propagation 7neasurements other than
riometer measurements were made thiough the conjugate regionb. There is a
hint of large Offects on the two northern Project 6 .7 rockets, but they were
near the orPds of their traj*ctories and zhe data are h-rd to interprcet. In spite

The experimental data obtained during the Stalfish detonation are discussed,
with emnphasis on the phenomenology a,... electromagnetic propagation. Vario..is
mocels of use !or explaining2 the phenomneria observed during Starfish are
con~idercd. M,'odels are formulated which can be use~d to predict Oftects of
other detonations similar to Starfish In yield and altitude.
