Solar Flare & Cold War

A solar flare on a day in May 1967 was nearly responsible for momentary heating of Cold War, breaking out bet USA & the Soviet . On May 23rd, 1967, all 3 American ballistic missile early-warning radars were simultaneously jammed. The US Air Force, believing Soviet Union was to blame, ordered nuclear-strike aircraft to take to the skies. The culprit was (later realized as)a powerful solar flare & convinced decision-makers to forego military action. Chris Stubenrauch - https://is.gd/1967flare.
