Recently we received information from a veteran who participated in Project Dominic in the early 1960s. This project involved dropping nuclear weapons from B52s over the Pacific Ocean. The exact locations of drops are not known. The veteran interviewed stated that considerable UFO activity was noted during test runs. Some UFOs were seen exiting and entering the ocean. (UFOs in the water are referred to as USOs (Underwater Submerged Objects). Many other UFOs were seen in the vicinity of tests.

A personal friend of William Puckett recently learned that his deceased father had participated in the Project Dominic. My friend's father never discussed the project with any member of the family and he did not learn of his father's participation until after his death.
