Missile Crisis true story: Was on 1 hr recall, when I got to the site (LA-73) RED ALERT all 12 rounds upright in launch position, guards w/ quad mount.50 cal MG's, concertina wire being reinforced. We knew nothing, only RED ALERT, public news was 6 days in future. Day 3 neighbors antsy, want to meet w/BC. BC made me PIO to meet: tell them "realistic exercise". After the meeting one couple said they recognize me? Asked their address, then I smiled. I delivered their newspaper when in high school!

whats the address of the site?

Returned to the launch site/bunkers Saturday, with a friend. we climbed down into what looks like one of the ventilation ports. Unable to go any further than 4-feet each direction, because the bunker was flooded within 2-feet of the top roof. probably close to 15-16000 gallons down there. Not stagnant so it's getting fed from a spring, just not draining off.

just visited the site today.. some of the bunkers look like someone's been digging them out further.

This is HA36. Portland not Glastonbury. Your title confused me, but I recognize some of the photos. At least 15 years ago when I went, the cops would destroy fireworks in the pit which once was the launch area. There was also a caved in portion on the side that you could climb into. It led to a huge room but it was mostly filled with water.

Ive heard about the cromwell and now the manchester looking to hike into some of these.

there is a whole next to a tree out there brings you into a underground room with a long hallway CRAZY SHIT



HADD
I AM A BIT CONFUSED -
from all the valid info out there - these sites where nike missile sites - (( WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT THE LARGE TITIAN Intercontinental missile MOST think about coming out of the ground - and with LARGE UNDERGROUND BUNKERS - these where actually supposed to be used to shoot down planes- these where not large military sites - 1 would think of. check out old pics- and blue prints will show this
MANY SITES - LG and SM are FOR SALE - even to live undergrd in -VERY COOL

Correct NOT the Titan style with a 140 foot silo it sat in , these are surface to air and were suppose to explode in the air and not actually hit a plane. A couple of sites have been sold to the pvt sector The one in ansonia is a horse farm but I bet the underground facility is still there just covered over with dirt What are you confused about ? It is nice to know that other people like checking these out
