Book excerpt: "Trinity was the name of the first detonation of a nuclear weapon conducted by the United States military on July 16, 1945, as part of the Manhattan Project. The test site at White Sands was about 35 miles southeast of Socorro, New Mexico. The project was top secret and local inhabitants of towns and adjacent ranches and farms were unaware of the magnitude and destiny of the top secret test. Alan Greenwood's mother related experiencing the test first hand and later watching a Movietone news article that mentioned no endangered population of worry closer than Albuquerque.".
