How the Solar Solar Strom of 1967 Almost Started a Nuclear War

# data[].attributes.body
Date:
1967
Caused By:
CME
Impacts:
The solar storm of 1967 effected northern Alaska, Greenland, and the United Kingdom. The solar attack jammed radios in Alaska, Greenland, and the United Kingdom. These radios detected incoming nuclear missiles. Because of the solar storm jamming these radios, it was considered an attack and the United States military commanders authorized aircraft and nuclear weapons to take to the skies, almost starting a nuclear war.

On October 30th of 1903 (a solar minimum year) a sun spot was facing directly at earth and a solar flare was released. This caused telephone lines to reach voltages of around 700 in Chicago. Communication between Latin America, France, Italy, Spain, and Portugal became unclear. And the Northern lights were very vibrant. This is one of the biggest solar storms recorded in history.
