No, an aberration. Kinda like when seeing a car's headlights in a movie. You see the lights, but you also see the aberration caused by the lens.

I would delete it as a joke. The location is too close to a major road between two big cities. The 6 devices exploded in 1998 were in the far western desert near Chagai. All known nuclear powers except North Korea have tested in very remote areas.

This may not seem like an interesting place. An intersection in Akron, Ohio. Read on-

From wikipedia:
"The first police car was a wagon run by electricity fielded on the streets of Akron, Ohio in 1899. The first operator of the police patrol wagon was Akron Police officer Louis Mueller, Sr. It could reach 16 mph (26 km/h) and travel 30 mi (48 km) before its battery needed to be recharged. The car was built by city mechanical engineer Frank Loomis. The $2,400 vehicle was equipped with electric lights, gongs and a stretcher. [b:xqyjmk1g]The car's first assignment was to pick up a drunk man at the junction of Main and Exchange streets".[/b:xqyjmk1g] <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D --> <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: -->
