A few atoms spontaneously lose their extra energy, which they emit in the form of photons (units) of radio microwaves about 21 cm. (8.3 in.) long. The newborn photons hit other hydrogen atoms and make them emit photons too. Then a pulse of microwaves bursts from the bulb and is gathered as high-frequency current by apparatus outside...

Sponsors of such a test would know where and when to look for it, and they would have instruments ready, to assess the results.
