I got real excited to learn the physics of a nuclear gravity bomb.

We have gotten to the point in modernity where so many bombs are technologically guided we must define bombs which fall, and are guided by, the force of gravity.

Yeah I also wondered if "nuclear gravity" was some fascinating new branch of physics.

Got real disappointed when I realised that it meant dropping 'em.

You might also find my UAP write-up interesting. Particularly, the section on USAF Project 1794. (Scroll to the images of the actual report.)

My article is very long, but it's comprehensive and thoroughly cited with valid sources.

Thank you, I've saved that for a quiet moment.

Yeah it's just a fancy way of saying "dumb bomb."

You don't need guided accuracy with a megaton nuke pooped out by a plane.
