Plan 0

Plan 0 was the Agarthans' first evil plot against the surface-dwellers. It involved setting off a makeshift hydrogen bomb near Washington, D.C. in order to bring about World War III between the U.S.A. and the U.S.S.R.

It was planned and executed by Zong, the scout and saboteur.

While most of the plan was carried off with great success, it was ultimately stopped by Agent Cooper and Operative-132. Zong was killed and his hydrogen bomb was vaporized with his own electro-incinerator.

Origin of the Secret War
On November 1, 1952 the United States secretly test-detonated the world's first hydrogen bomb (H-bomb) at Enewetak Atoll, a small island in the Pacific Ocean. With the strength 450 times that of the Nagasaki explosions in World War II, the entire island was annihilated, leaving a 175 foot-deep, 1 mile-wide crater.

The Americans did not know that this crater caused massive sudden flooding in underground caverns connected to the hidden underground civilization of Agartha. According to Zong, over 100,000 Agarthans perished as a result of these floodings, and the Men from within the Earth wanted revenge against the surface-dwellers for this.
