Following article was posted on soc.culture.korean.  I would appreciate any
information related to this topic.   Could it be a test of nuclear device?
Thank you very much in advance.

| On Friday, May 17, I heard a small blurb on the radio about a sudden
| surge in ground temperature of 45 degrees (50 degrees to 95 degrees) 
| in North Korea from one satellite passover to the next.  This had 
| occurred on the previous Tuesday, May 14.  There was speculation that 
| some sort of nuclear incident had occurred, but the North Korean 
| government would not talk about it or let anyone in to investigate.
| 
| I called a KCBS, an all-news radio station in San Francisco (NOT the
| station I had originally heard the story on), and they read a press 
| release to me about it, although they had not (to my knowledge) actually
| read the story on the radio.
| 
| I never heard anything about it again, and no one else I contacted,
| newswise (including API) or government agency-wise had even heard about it.
| It seemed like it was covered up rather quickly after the initial, small
| press release.
| 
| My son is in the Navy, stationed in Yokosuka, Japan, and on the Tuesday 
| the event occurred, he told me that he was going to Korea within a week 
| or 2, so you can understand my concern if there had been a nuclear incident!
| 
| He also travels to the Philippines (Subic Bay) on a regular basis.  
| Seems like all I have to do is locate all the "hot spots" and I'll 
| probably find him (i.e., volcanos in Japan and the Philippines and 
| whatever happened in Korea)!
| 
| If anyone else had heard any new information on this subject, please send
| me e-mail.  Thanks very much.
