NUKE TEST (1961) CREATES MASSIVE HOLLOW CAVITY

from Tal Levesque's News Report:      May 30, 2007

Have you ever heard about the underground NUKE experiment
near Carlsbad Caverns ?

Project Gnome,http://www.wipp.energy.gov/science/ug_lab/gnome/gnome.htm

December 10, 1961

It was the first test as part of the "Plowshare" program.
Later, they NUKED Underground near DULCE, N.M. (Project "Gasbuggy").

The Plowshare Program was created in the late fifties to explore the
possible use of nuclear explosive devices for "peaceful uses".

>From 1961-73, researchers carried out 27 separate experiments under

Project Plowshare, setting off 35 nuclear detonations.
Most of the tests were conducted at the Nevada Test Site,
but some were also conducted in New Mexico and Colorado.

Beyond the Nevada Test Site (NTS), nuclear testing activities were
conducted at eight locations in five different states as part of the
Nuclear Weapons Testing, the Vela Uniform, and the Plowshare
Programs.  As part of the Plowshare Program, nuclear tests were
conducted at two sites near Rifle, Colorado (Rulison and Rio Blanco),
southwest of Dulce, New Mexico (Project Gasbuggy),
and near Carlsbad, New Mexico (Project Gnome-Coach).

As part of the Vela Uniform Program, nuclear tests were conducted near
Fallon, Nevada (Project Shoal), on Amchitka Island, Alaska (Project
Long Shot), and near Hattiesburg, Mississippi, (Projects Salmon and
Sterling).

Project Gnome
The nuclear device was emplaced 1,184 feet underground in bedded salt
at the end of a 1,116 ft hooked tunnel.  The Gnome device was
detonated with a yield of 3.1 kilotons.
The NUKE created a massive HOLLOW Cavity.

Re-entry excavation began six days after the test, and the cavity was
entered about 6 months later on May 17, 1962.
Re-entry was through an underground tunnel excavated parallel to the
original one.
The roughly hemispheric cavity measuring 160-170 feet in diameter
(larger than the base of the dome of the U. S. Capitol building) and
60-80 feet high (equivalent to a 7-8 story building) is shown in the
attached photo and at this web site :

So, after all, some rumors of artificially create "underground caverns
or hollow cavities" and "underground bases" or "underground facilties"
may not necessarily be just the figment of people's imaginations?

Consider this possibility:

The chambers created by these nuke blasts are quite hot.  I don't
think they can be occupied. However, the NTS has some of the best
tunneling gear around. I poked around their website, but can't find
that video of their "drill" bursting out the side of a mountain.

yes , they certainly do have those rigs ( plural )  .... and sometimes
they don't want people to know where they are drilling ( national
security of course ha aha a  )  and go through a lot of trouble to
haul off the  debris to far away places.

most of that  video and pictures ( the good ones anyway ) are gone
from the web now ..... there's been a HUGE effort to remove a massive
amount of material from the web by the Homeland Defense Boys . if you
got  a lot  of it stored away early,  then you were lucky.

I realize they think they have good reasons for all that editing ...
but to me it's a sad day when stuff like that has to go on.

The YMP website at one time has a QTVR done from the top of the
mountain. Eventually they realized it was looking into airspace
that ..well...doesn't exist, so they removed the image.
