This would have been the World Wide Alert during the Yom Kippur War that had us loading up the nukes, after there were satellite photos indicating that the USSR had nukes in Egypt.

This was the biggest alert since the Cuban Missile Crisis.

It was Big.

I remember it well. My husband was in the Army Reserves at the time - they activated his unit and he went tearing off to Old Camp Kilmer NJ in the middle of the night. There they were set to work repainting all their olive drab vehicles in desert sand . . . it came to nothing, but it got pretty exciting there for awhile.

I don't think so. The FBI file seems to indicate this refers to a plan that was actually carried out to bomb Hanoi and Haiphong. VVAW/WSO discovered the plan, and gave their discovery to someone, (presumably NVN) "prior to the actual bombing,".
