Last September, government scientists took radiation readings and soil samples in waters near Tybee Island after a retired Air Force pilot who has searched privately for the bomb reported finding possible radioactive clues.
The government has not released a final report, but a letter by Air Force Col. James DeFrank, written in response to a story by The Associated Press, said government tests did not match radiation levels reported by Derek Duke.
"Since the interagency team did not find the 'significant' radiation levels Mr. Duke's team reported, the focus shifted to the arduous task of analyzing data to determine what the samples did contain," wrote DeFrank, the Air Force deputy director of public affairs.
Boy, thats a relief...NOT!
