July 29 at 12.50 local Danish time (GMT + 2 hours): P A R A N O R M A L N E W S ***E X T R A*** MOSCOW (Reuter) - Russia expressed surprise Thursday over a U.S. report that there had been a "seismic event'' 12 days ago in the vicinity of a Russian nuclear test site and said it had not carried out an atomic test. "I don't know what seismic activity they're talking about,'' a spokesman for the Atomic Energy Ministry said by telephone. "No nuclear tests were carried out at Novaya Zemlya. Russia has voluntarily given up nuclear testing and sticks to this position.'' The United States said earlier that it had detected a ``seismic event'' with explosive characteristics in the vicinity of the Russian nuclear test range at Novaya Zemlya on Aug. 16. A Pentagon spokeswoman said Washington was trying to determine whether it was a test blast. Novaya Zemlya is an island in Russia's Arctic North around 560 miles from Norway and 620 miles from Finland. Finnish Radiation official Hannele Aaltonen said the Finnish Seismological Institute had reported an incident at 10 p.m. EDT on Aug. 16 but that it had not affected radiation levels in Finland and did not appear to be a nuclear test. "Nothing in the radiation situation pointed to a nuclear test,'' Aaltonen, head of emergency preparedness at Finnish Center for Radiation and Nuclear Safety, told Reuters. "According to the information we received from the seismological institute, it was an explosion and not an earthquake,'' Aaltonen said. ``We have no knowledge of whether it was a nuclear charge,'' she said. The Russian spokesman said that it would have reported a nuclear test if there had been one. "Where the Pentagon got this information from I have no idea. There are special channels for the exchange of information on these issues between the two countries and they are working perfectly,'' the Russian spokesman said. "It sounds even more strange, as a delegation of ecologists has just left for the Novaya Zemlya testing range. No one would have carried out a nuclear test on the eve of the ecologists' arrival,'' he said. Russia, along with the other four declared nuclear powers, has imposed a voluntary moratorium on testing. Russia announced in 1992 that it was halting nuclear explosions. No one at the Defense Ministry or the Kremlin was immediately available for comment. (ed note: Interesting....the power of an atomic blast without residual radioactivity. This is what Dr. Lazar claims element 115 is capable of. It also could mean an antimatter or cold fusion accident. Two things are for certain: There was a very large blast, and there was no radioactivity present.) ------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for subscribing and taking part in seeking the truth.
