Lunar Fireball: Project A119’s Secret Plan to Nuke the Moon

In the darkest corners of Cold War strategy, someone suggested the unthinkable: launch a nuclear weapon at the Moon — not to destroy it, but to send a message.

This episode of Unsettled: The Hidden Record exposes Project A119, a classified U.S. Air Force operation from the 1950s that aimed to detonate a nuclear device on the lunar surface. Its goal? To show technological dominance over the Soviet Union — even if it meant weaponizing the skies above.

What began as a bizarre theoretical plan was backed by serious military minds — including a young Carl Sagan. The files remained hidden for decades.

This is not science fiction. It is a declassified truth, reconstructed from government reports, eyewitness interviews, and buried research.

🎙️ Unsettled investigates the forgotten, the classified, and the uncomfortable truths that were never meant to surface.
