When satellites take ground altitude measurements using binocular optical instruments (as opposed to radar), it fails for lakes and snowfields.

But It Died On New Year
David Paterson 3 years ago
OK. I have a story. I was on a bar overlooking Times Square on New Year's Eve. The "live from the scene" coverage on the pub's TV was NOT of the same scene as I could see outside. All the music was completely and totally different for starters. Essentially, the live webcast of this event had totally failed, so they sneakily substituted a recording from a different year.

WW3 did not almost happen because of a software fail as the author incorrectly stated. The software worked fine. It was the infrared detectors that were so sensitive that they picked up reflections from the clouds. It had nothing to do with software and everything to do with proper interpretation of the information by Lieutenant Colonel Stanislav Petrov. He knew the system and knew the Americans would not launch missiles that way. The software worked as it was designed. In the future they used more satellites to verify alarms.
