Project Twinkle and the Green Fireballs: Lincoln LaPaz’s Investigation of Anomalous Fireballs Near Atomic-age Installations

To the point

Dr. Lincoln LaPaz, a mathematician turned astronomer who founded the Institute of Meteoritics, launched Project Twinkle in the late 1940s to study mysterious green fireballs seen near sensitive military sites, a pursuit that drew Edward Teller’s attention, produced numerous eyewitness accounts but no recovered debris, and left the true nature and origin of the phenomena unresolved while fueling ongoing debates about their possible link to military tests and UFO activity.
