Near-surface explosions can never be secret. They proclaim themselves loudly in many different ways. The shock wave smacks the ground hard, starting characteristic earth waves that may be detected by seismographs thousands of miles away. In the air the shock wave turns into a sound wave that weakens as it travels until it dwindles into a brief rise of barometric pressure.

The U.S. undoubtedly had many seismographs and microbarographs stationed around...
