Caelo Oculus 4 was set in geosynchronous orbit over the area and continued to observe the region throughout the event, transmitting data collected from its triplet of silicon radiometers consistently. Satellite OPMV-183 utilized an early low-definition camera system in addition to other tools, including one radiometer similar to Caelo's, for intelligence gathering and operated in a low orbit, and as a result suffered minor permanent damage to its camera from the flashes. Its other systems remained operational and the satellite was later deserviced in 1987.

Directly following the detection of the second flash, a nearby [[Navy of Burgundie]] patrol was rerouted to the site at 12:49 PM and searched the area for vessels; several vessels were detected in the area but the area was sparsely travelled and the response to the event was abnormally slow, leaving the older patrol ship alone for several hours until an Urcean frigate, the (name), joined it. Neither vessel was informed as to the reason for their detours from their previous courses until the day after. Urcean, [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]], and [[~~Fhainnaeran~~|Fhainnin]] surface vessels were all operating in the area at the time, and the area is within range for submarines from both Levantia and Crona.

The current consensus in Occidental intelligence circles is that one or more states, most likely one/s without existing nuclear arsenals, tested a trifecta of nuclear devices in the Sea of Nordksa. The data recovered from both Caelo Oculus 4 and OPMV-183 suggests that if the flashes were from nuclear detonations, then the yields would have been roughly one, two, and thirty kiloton-yields. Often it is conjectured that this is the result of two conventional fission and one Hydrogen/fusion bomb constructed minimally, although it is also entirely possible for all three to have been fission weapons.

The chief parties typically blamed are [[Varshan]] or [[~~Fhainnaeran~~]], with other accusations laid at the feet of [[the Cape]], [[Corumm]], [[Caphiria]], [[Kiravia]], or even [[Roseney]] or minor Cronan states for assisting or benefiting from a collaborative nuclear program. Corumm had had a successful nuclear program since the early 1970s. ~~Fhainnaeran~~ did have a nuclear program since 1961, but the initiative was barely funded and heavily compromised by foreign intelligence services, leaving it little more than a placeholder and think tank until 1985. The Cape, at the time, and Roseney both have no known nuclear weapons or power plants; Kiravia had a nuclear program but already openly possessed nuclear weapons and staged its tests with advance warning. Varshan similarly had a nuclear stockpile but was and remains extremely secretive with its tests and research.

The accusations against ~~Fhainnaeran~~ are backed largely by the revitalization of the Fhainnin Civil Nuclear Service and the completion of the first nuclear power plant in ~~Fhainnaeran~~ in 1987; for its part, the Fhainnin government insists that it has never conducted nuclear weapons tests and that its program is purely peaceful. ~~Fhainnaeran~~ purchases a significant proportion of its raw uranium from the Cape, and was at the time emerging from two and a half decades of painful recovery from the [[Great War]], leading many to theorize that a nuclear program may have been pursued as a joint effort between the country and its allies, the closest of which all fall outside of the traditional Kiravian/Caphirian/Urcean/Varshani quartet.

Accusations laid against the Cape are largely evidenced by a testimony from a supposed former [[Cape Defence Force]] general, claiming the development of weapons was a natural culmination of the nation's then cold war with the [[Austral Democratic People's Republic]]. Bold foreign policy moves in the years following the test, combined with the bringing to light of formerly covert ties with Fhainnaeran is commonly cited as evidence. The Cape today maintains that it has no military nuclear weapons - although a civilian nuclear program was founded in 1998 after the collapse of the ADPR.
