Kwajalein in the Pacific is the site of experiments on a new anti-ballistic missile system. The proposed missile sites, some twenty across the country, would use intercept-missiles armed with nuclear warheads to stop any attack from Red China. Aerial footage shows a military island base in the Pacific. Artist conception of the missile base. Three individual shots of missiles being launched- the first is the best. Five missiles travel through the air- contrails. A missile explodes turning the night, wham, bomb, pow!
