Prairie Wind - the story of the Great Plains Turbulence Field Project Master of Miscellany - with Dave Manoucheri

In 1953, the US Air Force invaded the small town of O'Neill, Nebraska, and conducted a series of tests on the lower atmosphere.

The results would forever change how scientists looked at weather, agriculture, nuclear warfare, and possibly the space program.  The first massive, million-dollar experiment that took over a town and helped to change the world.

The story of the Great Plains Turbulence Field project was first written by me for Air and Space Magazine here:

Thanks to:

and Steve Pickett for lending their voices years ago to a documentary that never got funded or distributed.  We managed to utilize their voices here.
