Was stationed at Holloman back in the early 60s. Had a White Sands Range Badge and visited the Trinity Site several times. There was plenty of the green glass in a big sallow crater still there. It is an element found no place else we were told. There was a huge iron tube that was supposed capture the uranium if the HE went off but the reaction didn't. It was still there because it was so heavy they couldn't lift it to the top of the tower the bomb set on. The metal tower was gone only a few twisted pieces of metal remained. The museum in Alamagordo is very good and has a lot of the history. White Sands is worth visiting.
