EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In 1965, a joint CIA and Directorate General of Security operation attempted to place a nuclear-powered telemetry relay on the summit of Nanda Devi to monitor Chinese missile tests. Due to a severe blizzard, the team retreated and stashed the SNAP-19C radioisotope thermoelectric generator in a cave. When they returned in 1966, the plutonium-powered device was gone. The official narrative claims it was swept away by an avalanche. Intelligence intercepts indicate the device was not destroyed. It was absorbed.
INCIDENT REPORT
- Since 1982, seismic listening posts have recorded low-frequency, rhythmic pulsations originating from exactly 2,000 meters beneath the original 1965 stash site on the mountain above Joshimath.
- The frequency is non-geologic. It operates on a perfect 11-second cycle, identical to the data-transmission loop of the original SNAP-19C relay, but amplified by a factor of ten thousand.
- In 1993, a classified geological survey attempted to map the cavern system using ground-penetrating radar. The radar did not bounce back.
- The data returned a “void state”—indicating a localized area where physical matter is either absent or absorbing all electromagnetic radiation.
CURRENT STATUS & HAZARD
Analysis of glacial meltwater from the Rishiganga river shows zero traces of the plutonium-238 that should have leaked if the core was crushed. Instead, local flora near the Rishiganga basecamp has begun exhibiting microscopic, symmetrical geometric growth patterns in their cellular walls—a hallmark of exposure to structured, non-terrestrial radiation fields.
The mountain is not just hiding the core; it is utilizing it as a power source.
