I'm at the point of them talking to people who looked directly into a nuclear flash. Steel was vaporized, sand was covered in green glass, but glass is not nearly translucent like the Sahara glass. Maybe the clear green glass was just from proximity.

IIRC they eventually put the glass into a mass spectrometer and discover an unusually large quantity of osmium. Levels much higher than found anywhere on the earths surface.
