Australian intelligence officer argues large UFO knocked down by the Bluegill Triple Prime nuclear test

This concerns the Bluegill Triple Prime nuclear test.
It was one of many interesting claims compiled in Jesse Michels' recent "UFOs Are Monitoring Nuclear Weapons GLOBALLY". Michels summarizes a segment from an interview Australian Intelligence Officer Geoff Cruickshank did with Coulthart. Cruickshank argues that a craft, presumably alien, was caught on video falling away from the blast, and that this was censored from some of the footage, crudely, with the addition of a big white triangle.

In his recent writeup about it in liberation times, Cruickshank corroborates this with logs from the ships involved, finding a notable omission in a log entry from the day of the recovery, and otherwise unexplained levels of radiation exposure among the ship's crew.

The Bluegill Triple Prime test detonated a nuclear warhead 48 kilometers above Earth to study how high-altitude explosions affect ballistic missile systems.

Decades later, newly declassified evidence suggests something far more extraordinary—a possible collision with an unidentified object, which I believe was a craft advanced non-human origin.

Footage, scientific reports, and naval recovery logs hint at a dramatic event where nuclear weapons technology intersected with the unknown.

This test was a key Cold War experiment.

The XW-50-X1 warhead was built to emit high-energy X-rays, designed to disable missile re-entry vehicles by causing intense heat and internal damage, a process called thermo-mechanical spall.

While the test aimed to push missile defense technology, the evidence shows it may have done much more.

The recording in question starts at 50:00 in this video: https://archive.org/details/StarfishPrimeInterimReportByCommanderJTF8 First the IR (or xray?) version with the white triangle. In visible light recording with no sanitization triangle at 51:45 you see something quickly falling down, seeming to leave a short trail of smoke, as soon as the explosion begins.

The inconsistency between the two films suggests a divergence in classification judgments between the laboratories responsible for analyzing the footage, raising further questions about what was seen—and why it was partially hidden from public view.

I wonder whether the object seen was pod 6 (the one that was closest to the blast). Another missile footage redaction comes up in this conversation, previously discussed (Atlas 8F missile test), and according to another participant in the Atlas 8 tests whose memories seem to be much more detailed than that of the UFO whistleblower's memories were, it was classified because it revealed a vulnerability in major weapon systems ("The Strategic Air Command (SAC) headquarter analystssubsequently recognized this as a shortcoming of a major weapons system and classified the film as top secret.") Perhaps pod 6 fared worse than the others to a degree that it would constitute a classifiable vulnerability? But these pods were just being used to measure the blast, they don't sound like weapon systems to me.

I also wonder if the white triangle was actually just some object that was partially obstructing the IR camera on one of the planes. Cruickshank says that both of these cameras were mounted on KC-135s ("Captured by modified KC-135 aircraft equipped with specialized cameras, these films were produced by the renowned Edgerton, Germeshausen, and Grier, Inc. (EG&G), under contract with the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory and the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory at Livermore, CA.")

Official deck logs document the recovery of various pieces of debris, some of which were described as "anomalous."

I was unable to find the word "anomalous". I'm not used to reading handwring, someone else should take a look.

Although its crew had no officially recorded duties involving radioactive materials, they reported unusually high radiation exposure levels following the recovery mission.

This anomaly suggests the retrieval of unconventional debris, potentially linked to the unidentified object observed in the KETTLE 1 footage.

Note that the very first video on the page mentions that the sensor pods being recovered would be radioactive after the test. Hopefully Cruickshank has checked the radiation exposure levels and checked to see where all of the pods went.

In 1983, the Kaman Tempo Group, commissioned to investigate radiation exposure among Operation Dominic participants, discovered that the logs for the Point Barrow were missing.

Ah, the classic trope:
"a possible collision with an unidentified object, which I believe was a craft advanced non-human origin."

I don't know, therefore the wierdest thing possible.

I hit the brakes as soon as I saw "Jesse Michaels," then opened the door and rolled onto the pavement when I saw "Ross Coulthart."

(No disrespect to the OP.)

Perhaps because I am blessed with zero short-term memory, I did go "Jesse who?". But, answering my own question with a quick googoo search, I'll just say that I hope I never encounter that name again. However, maybe I hang around on the wrong websites to be sure of avoiding that.

I'm going to assume that if something was unidentified in 1962, then it's going to remain unidentified.
