On a calm Sunday morning in 1978 residents
of Bell Island, Newfoundland hear an odd, high-pitched
hum, immediately followed by a sudden and terrifying
blast resounding for hundreds of miles. Outbuildings
are destroyed, livestock electrocuted, televisions
explode and power lines vaporize. The Invisible
Machine unravels the mystery of the Bell Island
“boom” and in doing so takes a chilling
look at the U.S. military’s experimentation
with electromagnetic pulse (EMP) weapons.
