Top Secret Report on Soviet Satellite
JACK ANDERSON: A Soviet satellite carrying nuclear
materials is plummeting to earth. It could cost innocent lives.
Here is the Inside Story. The United States may soon be
hit by a Soviet nuclear strike. A Russian satellite carrying
nuclear materials is plummeting to earth. The odds are that the
satellier will fall into the ocean but it could hit a populated
area, potentially killing hundreds of people.
Now let me tell you what you haven't heard. The falling
object is a Soviet spy satellite used to track the, Navy as they
sail the waters of the globe.
Let me quote from a top secret CIA report. These satel-
lites have been able to identify coastline ships and prominent
terrain features. The radar on these-satellites are able to
detect ships the size of a destroyer when the weather is good
and aircraft carriers when the weather conditions are bad.
Well, the Soviets say the satellite will burn up before
it hits the ground but US experts disagree. And they have a team
on alert ready to rush into the impact area and clean up the nuc-
lear debris.
