T he following item appeared in the New York Herald Tribune on
February 16, 1947 (and was repeated by Ivan T. Sanderson in the
January 1970 issue of his magazine, Pursuit):
When the first atomic bomb exploded in New Mexico, the desert
sand turned to fused green glass. This fact, according to the
magazine Free World, has given certain archaeologists a turn.
They have been digging in the ancient Euphrates Valley and have
uncovered a layer of agrarian culture 8,000 years old, and a layer
of herdsman culture much older, and a still older caveman culture.
Recently, they reached another layerÉof fused green glass.
It is well known that atomic detonations on or above a sandy desert will
melt the silicon in the sand and turn the surface of the Earth into a
sheet of glass. But if sheets of ancient desert glass can be found in
various parts of the world, does it mean that atomic wars were fought
in the ancient past or, at the very least, that atomic testing occurred
in the dim ages of history?
This is a startling theory, but one that is not lacking in evidence, as
such ancient sheets of desert glass are a geological fact. Lightning
strikes can sometimes fuse sand, meteorologists contend, but this is
always in a distinctive root-like pattern. These strange geological
oddities are called fulgurites and manifest as branched tubular forms
rather than as flat sheets of fused sand. Therefore, lightning is
largely ruled out as the cause of such finds by geologists, who prefer

to hold onto the theory of a meteor or comet strike as the cause. The
problem with this theory is that there is usually no crater associated
with these anomalous sheets of glass.
Brad Steiger and Ron Calais report in their book, Mysteries of Time
and Space, 1 that Albion W. Hart, one of the first engineers to
graduate from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, was assigned an
engineering project in the interior of Africa. While he and his men
were travelling to an almost inaccessible region, they first had to cross
a great expanse of desert.
"At the time he was puzzled and quite unable to explain a large expanse
of greenish glass which covered the sands as far as he could see,"
writes Margarethe Casson in an article on Hart's life in the magazine
Rocks and Minerals (no. 396, 1972). She then goes on to mention:
"Later on, during his lifeÉhe passed by the White Sands area after the
first atomic explosion there, and he recognized the same type of silica
fusion which he had seen fifty years earlier in the African desert." 2
Tektites: A Terrestrial Explanation?
Large desert areas strewn with mysterious globules of "glass"--known
as tektites--are occasionally discussed in geological literature. These
blobs of "hardened glass" (glass is a liquid, in fact) are thought to come
from meteorite impacts in most instances, but the evidence shows that
in many cases there is no impact crater.
Another explanation is that tektites have a terrestrial explanation--
one that includes atomic war or high-tech weapons capable of melting
sand. The tektite debate was summed up in an article entitled "The
Tektite Problem", by John O'Keefe, published in the August 1978
edition of Scientific American. Said O'Keefe:
If tektites are terrestrial, it means that some process exists by
which soil or common rocks can be converted in an instant into
homogeneous, water-free, bubble-free glass and be propelled
thousands of miles above the atmosphere. If tektites come from
the Moon, it seems to follow that there is at least one powerful
volcano somewhere on the Moon that has erupted at least as
recently as 750,000 years ago. Neither possibility is easy to
accept. Yet one of them must be accepted, and I believe it is
feasible to pick the more reasonable one by rejecting the more
unlikely.
The key to solving the tektite problem is an insistence on a
physically reasonable hypothesis and a resolute refusal to be
impressed by mere numerical coincidences such as the similarity of
terrestrial sediments to tektite material. I believe that the lunar
volcanism hypothesis is the only one physically possible, and that
we have to accept it. If it leads to unexpected but not impossible
conclusions, that is precisely its utility.
To cite just one example of the utility, the lunar origin of tektites
strongly supports the idea that the Moon was formed by fission of
the Earth. Tektites are indeed much more like terrestrial rocks
than one would expect of a chance assemblage. If tektites come
from a lunar magma, then deep inside the Moon there must be
material that is very much like the mantle of the Earth--more like
the mantle than it is like the shallower parts of the Moon from
which the lunar surface basalts have originated. If the Moon was
formed by fission of the Earth, the object that became the Moon
would have been heated intensely and from the outside, and would
have lost most of its original mass and in particular the more
volatile elements. The lavas constituting most of the Moon's
present surface were erupted early in the Moon's history, when its
heat was concentrated in the shallow depleted zone quite near the
surface. During the recent periods represented by tektite falls,
the sources of lunar volcanism have necessarily been much deeper,
so that any volcanoes responsible for tektites have drawn on the
lunar material that suffered least during the period of ablation and
is therefore most like unaltered terrestrial mantle material.
Ironically, that would explain why tektites are in some ways more
like terrestrial rocks than they are like the rocks of the lunar
surface.
Mysterious Glass in the Egyptian Sahara
One of the strangest mysteries of ancient Egypt is that of the great
glass sheets that were only discovered in 1932. In December of that
year, Patrick Clayton, a surveyor for the Egyptian Geological Survey,
was driving among the dunes of the Great Sand Sea near the Saad
Plateau in the virtually uninhabited area just north of the
southwestern corner of Egypt, when he heard his tyres crunch on
something that wasn't sand. It turned out to be large pieces of
marvellously clear, yellow-green glass.
In fact, this wasn't just any ordinary glass, but ultra-pure glass that
was an astonishing 98 per cent silica. Clayton wasn't the first person
to come across this field of glass, as various 'prehistoric' hunters and
nomads had obviously also found the now-famous Libyan Desert Glass
(LDG). The glass had been used in the past to make knives and sharp-
edged tools as well as other objects. A carved scarab of LDG was even
found in Tutankhamen's tomb, indicating that the glass was sometimes
used for jewellery.
An article by Giles Wright in the British science magazine New
Scientist (July 10, 1999), entitled "The Riddle of the Sands", says that
LDG is the purest natural silica glass ever found. Over a thousand
tonnes of it are strewn across hundreds of kilometres of bleak desert.
