In my first book, Underground Bases and Tunnels,’ I presented military documentation from 1964 that indi- cated that the United States Army Corps of Engineers was consid- ering constructing a huge underground cavity 4,000 feet deep beneath the sprawling China Lake facility. As it happens, after giving a public talk a couple of years ago I was approached by a man who told me he had been a uniformed member of the United States Navy. We chatted for a while and when he mentioned that he had spent some time at China Lake, I pricked up my ears. l asked him if there was an underground facility at China Lake. He said that, indeed, there is, and that it is impressively large and deep. I asked him if he had ever been in it and he said that he had, though not to the deepest levels. I asked him how deep the deepest part extended. He looked at me soberly and said very quietly, "It goes one mile deep." I then asked him what the underground base contains. He replied, "Weapons." I responded, "What sort of weaponry?" And he answered without pausing, "Weapons more powerful than nuclear weapons." Upon hearing his answer, I was greatly taken aback. The I think it is entirely possible that the well-driller was brought on the base to drill air shafts for deep underground tunnels and structures. My research suggests that New Mexico is prime real estate for clandestine underground facilities—and White Sands Missile Range is right at the top of the shortlist of candidate sites. Underground Mag-Lev Shuttles? This is the story that just will not go away. The rumours about super-secret, high-speed, deeply buried mag-lev trains’ hurtling back and forth, deep beneath the North American continent, turn up again and again. Fellow researcher Bill Hamilton relayed the following second- hand account to me of an exchange between a friend and his friend. Friend: "So tell me, what's it like to ride in one of those underground shuttles...?" Friend's friend: "VERY DAMN FAST!!! Less than one hour from Cheyanne [sic] Mountain entrance to the pentagon [sic]. My calculator would tell me that was over 2,000 miles an hour. Odd, though; you don't feel the speed, being totally enclosed with no windows. Anyway, there's stuff that's much faster, but not underground." 44 = NEXUS www.nexusmagazine.com OCTOBER — NOVEMBER 2004
