I was just watching a documentary on soldiers who witnessed atomic bombs from only a couple of km’s away and all of them reported that even with their eyes closed, they could see an X-Ray of their bones.

I just watched that. It was very interesting. What they’re describing starting around 4:00 is that the light from the bomb was so bright that they could see their bones. It didn’t sound to me like they had their eyes closed when they saw that. They were talking about separate moments, as with light so bright, at some point they closed their eyes, but before they did so, they saw the skeletons, basically because the light was not completely blocked by their flesh but was blocked by their bones (much like if you put a flashlight against your finger, the finger will light up like you can see inside it).
