Heh, I wasn’t aware of that theory about nukes disrupting alternate dimensions.

There’s a simpler explanation though - nukes emit a powerful electromagnetic pulse at the speed of light that might be strong enough to be detectable by anyone listening.

Also the 1936 Berlin Olympics TV broadcast was the first human-created electromagnetic signal strong enough to reach other planets and possibly be detectable.

Those were the first energy emissions by humanity that aliens might have detected. If aliens do exist, it’s little surprise they came here to investigate around the time of those events.
