Hi List, quite a few years ago now, the U.S. suspected and/or accused South
Afica of testing nuclear weapons in it's vicinity. To the Sth East of South
Africa in the Indian Ocean. I believe the Vela satellites had nothing to do
with this, as they detected gamma ray bursts. This event produced shock
waves detectable at a great distance, and some merchant vessels in the area
also reported a disturbance. It was in the megaton range.
It was later proved to meteoric in origin.

I knew about the Tunguska event but what happened in the Atlantic in the
1930s?

Smaller strikes have been recorded frequently. One descended with a
fiery streak into the Atlantic in the 1930s. In the early 1900s one hit
an uninhabited spot in Siberia, leveling forests for miles around.
There's a big crater in Arizona that is the record of a hit in that spot
in ancient times.
