Norwegian rocket incident

The Norwegian rocket incident, also known as the Black Brant scare, occurred on January 25, 1995, when a team of Norwegian and American scientists launched a Black Brant XII four-stage sounding rocket from the Andøya Rocket Range off the northwestern coast of Norway. The rocket, which carried scientific equipment to study the aurora borealis over Svalbard, flew on a high northbound trajectory, which included an air corridor that stretches from Minuteman III nuclear missile silos in North Dakota, all the way to the Russian capital city of Moscow.〔 United States European Command. "This Week in EUCOM History." http://www.eucom.mil/media-library/article/23042/this-week-in-eucom-history-january-23-29-1995〕
During its flight, the rocket eventually reached an altitude of , resembling a U.S. Navy submarine-launched Trident missile. As a result, fearing a high altitude nuclear attack that could blind Russian radar, Russian nuclear forces were put on high alert, and the nuclear weapons command suitcase was brought to Russian president Boris Yeltsin,〔〔Forden, Geoffrey. Public Broadcasting System. NOVA. "False Alarms in the Nuclear Age." November 6, 2001 http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/military/nuclear-false-alarms.html〕 who then had to decide whether or not to launch a retaliatory nuclear strike against the United States.〔〔
==Background==
The Norwegian rocket incident was a few minutes of post-Cold War nuclear tension that took place nearly four years after the end of the Cold War. While not as well known an incident as the Cuban Missile Crisis of October 1962 (nor the Stanislav Petrov Incident, which was still classified information), the 1995 incident is considered to be one of the most severe. The 1995 incident occurred in the post-Cold War era, where many Russians were still very suspicious of the United States and NATO. In contrast, the Cuban Missile Crisis of October 1962 had a much longer build-up.〔
