Black Helicopters SECRET BASES
What are they doing in Napa?
There's a Fear that they are
secret underground
bunkers in that area, destined
for TOP US
OFFICIALS in case of some mass
disaster!
The United States Air Force has confirmed that those mysterious helicopter
flights over Napa County are classified operations. The helicopters
are
supplying what appears to be a secret base located on Bureau of Land
Management property, without the knowledge or permission of the Bureau.
The
U.S. military has not informed Napa County, nor has it indicated anything
on
FAA/Military maps.
Aerial shots taken this weekend over the 87 acre Bureau land near Oakville
Grade show large cement bunkers with large concrete doors, a new road,
freshly graded, and some underground facility. The satellite link-ups
have
geo-synchronized microwave dishes pointing straight up. There are
approximately 8 to 10 dishes on the tower, which is not shown on any
FAA
map.
The aerial shots would indicate that a lot of government money has gone
into
the building of this secret base in Napa. The structure is virtually
near
the top of a mountain. The military helicopter overflights are apparently
supplying the underground facility.
The cargo helicopters, however, are only part of the traffic. Black
helicopters without markings have been making 3 a.m. flights to the
facility. There are several black helicopters at Hamilton Air Force
Base,
but all of them have some identifying marking, particular FBI markings.
One
helicopter only has a Playboy bunny marked on its tail.
The Air Force will not comment on the helicopters, only stating, "The
helicopter traffic over the Napa Hills is a classified operation."
The Sentinel acknowledges the valuable assistance of Mike Jamieson for
supplying films of the location.
But what type of military base is in the Napa hills and what is its
function? That will be part of a series commencing on September 1,
exclusive
reports from within the military and intelligence community.

A secret installation near the Oakville Grade is being used by the United
States Government for three purposes. Increased helicopter traffic
is
directly linked to this installation.
The installations and helicopter traffic serve the following purposes:
a.. Direct satellite communication.
b.. Continuity of the U.S. Government in case of nuclear attack or
other
disasters.
c.. Secure communication links with the outside world in the event
of a
disaster.
The helicopter traffic over the last year has been provisioning an elaborate
underground complex designed to hold government officials, scientists
and
other high echelon personnel in the event of an emergency. The helicopters
have been transporting generators, food stock, electronic and communications
equipment, and other items to the site.
The secret government site is replacing other installations and combining
them into one solid underground center. An installation at Benicia
is
considered too marginal and vulnerable. Its functions have been transferred
to Napa. An underground facility in Ukiah, an old railroad tunnel,
was not
serving the full purpose. The remote area of Napa was selected to combine
the functions of the Ukiah and Benicia facilities into a more secure
area.
Napa is considered to be safe from the nuclear fallout zone of targeted
areas in the San Francisco Bay Area.
The facility in the Napa hills is heavily fortified and protected with
thick
concrete. Its microwave tower is pointed toward Santa Rosa, where AT&T
has
secure communications links. The microwave dishes are to guarantee
government officials with direct access to national communication links.
The
government has always relied on AT&T for those links.
The satellite dishes make direct communication with geosynchronized
satellites at regular time intervals. The communication linkage is
by laser,
which accounts for the constant reports of light beams and flashes
in the
area. The operation in Napa County is classified according to the United
States Air Force.
The area has been serviced by unmarked helicopters for some time. There
have
been other helicopter overflights, some as part of the Drug Enforcement
Agency sweep and others are National Guard training missions. But the
main
and constant force has been to supply this secret installation.
The United States Government has similar installations all over the
nation.
These facilities are all located in remote areas which would not normally
be
targeted by enemy nations for a nuclear strike. Napa Valley's wine
growing
areas provide a good cover for such an installation.
Similar helicopter traffic has been reported in other areas of California
and the west, which indicates the government is creating new facilities
or
is preparing for some type of disaster or upheaval.
The helicopters used in Napa are olive drab and also black, all unmarked.
The olive drab helicopters originate from Hamilton Air Force Base and
operate generally in late afternoon and in the evening. The black
helicopters generally operate in the late evening and early morning
hours.
The olive drab helicopters are providing supplies to the secret
installation, but the black helicopters are providing direct laser
communication to satellites.
Hamilton Air Force base has confirmed that the helicopters originate
from
their area and that the mission is classified.

Black Helicopters
What they are doing in Napa?
By Harry V. Martin
While KVON radio's news department and the "Johnny-come-lately" Napa
Valley
Register wallow in whether or not a telephone tower in Sonoma County
has
anything to do with the increased flight of helicopters in Napa County,
the
Sentinel has obtained over 200 pages of unclassified and secret documents
which outline the purpose of a special communications and government
continuity base in the Napa hills.
The documents, which focus on 26 unclassified reports, 1 "for official
use"
report, and 14 secret reports, relate specifically to continuity of
government and emergency telecommunication systems. Participating with
the
government is this classified nationwide emergency telecommunications
Service for National Security Telecommunications ITT, AT&T, COMSAT,
MCII and
TRT.
Plans went into motion in 1988 and 1989 to ensure secure national and
international communications and the continuity of government in case
of war
or disaster. The plan is being implemented throughout the nation, with
similar helicopter traffic and construction of facilities. For national
security reasons, much of the work is done in secret.
The National Security Telecommunications Advisory Commission reactivated
the
Commercial Satellite Survivability Task Force to assist the government
and
recommending secure telecommunications systems that would survive any
disaster. The systems are used not only in case of war, but also when
disasters such as hurricanes, floods, or earthquakes destroy existing
commercial telecommunication facilities.
The government asked the group for international augmentation from an
interexchange carrier switch via an international gateway satellite
earth
station. The foreign end users identified in the report are senior
U.S.
civilian and military officials overseas. The problem that existed
was that
foreign satellites do not operate with the same type of equipment used
in
the United States. Satellite earth stations working together in an
international link are owned and operated by different companies and
agencies.
When the INTELSAT is used incompatibility is at a minimum, but when
CCITT
systems are used, there are major incompatibilities to be overcome.
The
construction of new systems is part of a 12-point plan:
a.. That the Government establish a commercial satellite communications
survivability program which will satisfy National Security requirements.
b.. That the Government establish a Commercial Satellite Survivability
(CSS) Program Office to coordinate the program within the Government.
c.. That the CSS Program Office, in conjunction with the planning arm
of
the NCM, should undertake a program to develop emergency control plans
and
procedures to assure the capability to coordinate the restoration of
commercial satellite communications service under emergency conditions.
d.. The development of a capability for communications interoperability
at
critical earth stations to maintain emergency communications networks.
e.. The development of a capability utilizing the Date Encryption Standard
algorithm to protect critical digital communications links if communications
protection over commercial satellite systems is required by the Government.
f.. The development of a capability to enhance the survivability of
satellite control systems through actions to achieve command link
protection.
g.. The development of control interoperability between satellite systems
to control the commercial communications satellite assets under emergency
conditions.
h.. The development of capabilities which increase physical security
of
satellite control facilities and communications earth stations.
i.. The CSS Program Office should initiate a study which would assess
the
susceptibility of existing commercial satellite communications systems
to
nuclear effects and provide recommendations which would established
hardening guidelines for further commercial satellite programs.
j.. Development of a transportable terminal capability to enhance
survivability and restoral of critical satellite communications systems.
k.. Enhancement of control survivability through the development of
transportable TT&C terminal facilities.
l.. Development of a capability for Ku-band communications
interoperability at critical earth stations to maintain emergency
communications networks.
Napa is not alone in this area in participation of the program, units
exist
through Pac Bell's access tandem in Vallejo and also in Benicia and
Santa
Rosa. These units can patch in or over disrupted communication ground
lines.
The main continental United States (CONUS) focuses on the west coast
traveling to the east coast and back again. CONUS contour maps show
a major
segment of that critical beam is located on or near Napa.
On Tuesday, the Sentinel published an article outlining the purposes
and
scope of the local project and its relationship with the helicopter
traffic.
In summary, the article stated the purpose of a secret installation
in Napa
served by the helicopters was for:
a.. Direct satellite communications.
b.. Continuity of the U.S. Government in case of nuclear attack or other
upheaval.
c.. Secure communication links with the outside world in the event of
a
disaster.
The helicopter traffic over the last year has been provisioning an elaborate
underground complex designed to hold government officials, scientists
and
other high echelon personnel in the event of an emergency, similar
facilities are active all over the United States. The local installation
is
combining and replacing installations from Benicia to underground railroad
tunnels in Ukiah.
There is no sinister plot involved. The site was selected because Napa
is
considered to be safe from the nuclear fallout zone.
Black Helicopters, they do exist, despite local media scorn

Links with FEMA and Wackenhut Corporation
By Harry V. Martin
EDITOR'S NOTE: During the summer months, the Napa Sentinel published
a
series of articles on black helicopters and a clandestine government
base
operating in Napa County. Through nationwide radio programs and other
contacts, the Sentinel has been able to accumulate substantial information
to show that Napa was not exclusive in the helicopter-clandestine base
scenario. Such activities have been reported all across the United
States.
This article concerns those other sightings.
They are black, unmarked and generally fly late at night. This
is one type
of helicopter traffic reported over Napa this year - regular and steady.
Local air commanders have never confirmed the origins of these helicopters.
The local media, despite receiving reports of such activities themselves,
have attempted to make a farce out of the numerous reports. The Napa
Valley
Register attempted to pooh-pooh the reports as from crazed UFO followers
and
used a PacBell repeating station photograph to "discredit" any clandestine
base. KVON radio, which originally confirmed the helicopter flights,
just
recently qualified their previous reports by stating "if" such helicopters
existed. Neither media has made any serious attempt to trace the origins
or
pattern of the helicopter traffic.
The Napa Sentinel reported the flight patterns, interviewed eyewitnesses,
talked to military and intelligence sources, and provided a scenario
for the
entire phenomenon. Since that period of time, however, reports have
surfaced
across the country. Black helicopters overhead, unmarked. In a few
ground
sightings, the occupants of the helicopters have been described as
men
wearing black uniforms carrying automatic weapons. The helicopters
appear
almost unreachable.
In the Watsonville area, one such helicopter landed. Law enforcement
officials went to investigate but left the scene when encountering
armed men
in black uniforms. "We had black helicopters come over here every day,"
states several Massachusetts families. "They were just plain black,
with no
markings."
A Paris, Texas-based group, "These mystery helicopters are almost always
without identifying markings. The aircraft are frequently reported
flying at
abnormal, unsafe or illegal altitudes. They may shy away if witnesses
or law
officers try to approach. But there are several accounts of aggressive
behavior on the part of the helicopter occupants."
These type of helicopters have also been reported over Loring, Maine,
Wurtsmith, Michigan and Malmstrom, Montana, as well as northeastern
New
Mexico. Military officials in Colorado state that black helicopters
seen in
their area do not belong to the military. When the FAA was asked to
investigate black helicopter traffic over New Mexico, Freedom of Information
Act requests show they had no investigation on file. Yet, the FAA did
have
investigators in the field taking depositions from individuals.
Thomas Adams of Texas has spent a lot more time investigating the black
helicopter mystery than the Sentinel has. He has listed hundreds of
sightings from all over the country. In fact, the Napa Sentinel is
not the
only media to be investigating black helicopter traffic. Major TV and
print
media in Colorado, the Los Angeles Times, KLTV-TV in Tyler Texas, the
Kilgore News Hearld in Texas, the Denver Post, the reports go on and
on, in
Colorado, Texas, Nebraska, Wyoming, Montana, Oklahoma, Kansas, Illinois,
South Dakota, Arkansas, Alberta, Wisconsin, Berkeley, California, Missouri,
Arizona, Minnesota. Law enforcement officials in various states have
also
investigated the black helicopter traffic.
The bulk of the helicopter traffic is seen throughout the United States
from
August through October, with some heavy activity in February, July,
November
and December. Reports have been received from Monterey and Southern
California, as well. Colorado appears to have the heaviest concentration
of
black helicopter traffic, with Texas being second.
Communities and publications in these areas confirm or suggest the
existence
of underground facilities serviced by helicopters. "The small
amount of
published evidence that is available indicates that the great majority
of
these underground bases are for use by government agencies in the event
of
nuclear war," states one publication. The agencies associated with
these
underground facilities include the Pentagon, CIA, Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) and the National Security Agency (NSA).
In May 1992, revelations came to the surface that a large secret
government
bunker was located under the rich Greenbriar Hotel in White Sulphur
Springs,
West Virginia. It had been hidden there for years. Only six members
of
Congress knew about the living quarters, meeting rooms and banks
of
computers and communications equipment installed underneath the
posh hotel.
It contains two giant blast doors, each weighing more than 20 tons,
supplied
with water, electricity and even a sewage treatment system. It also
had an
infirmary, shower facilities, a television studio, radio and communications
equipment, phone booths and code machines, a dining and kitchen area,
a
power plant and even a crematorium for disposing of the corpses
of those who
might die inside the sealed bunker.
FEMA also operates a number of underground bunkers across the country.
Such
installations are usually surrounded by high fences and patrolled by
armed
guards. Only a few of the buildings appear above ground. At least 96
underground centers have been secretly funded by the United States
Government.
A Chicago-based source with high credentials in such investigations,
claims
that the black helicopters are not a military operation, but rather
are
operated by the Wackenhut Corporation and FEMA. Wackenhut is a private
company that provides security in prisons, hospitals, government
installations and other facilities. It was founded by former FBI agents
and
has been called the modern "Robocop" organization. FEMA, has broad
emergency
powers. It was created by President Jimmy Carter and has the ability
to
virtually take over the country or any region in a disaster. With FEMA
and
the private Wackenhut army teamed together, neither are regulated by
too
many outside authorities.
Though the helicopter traffic over Napa eased after the series of media
articles and broadcasts, they have reappeared again. In one eye-witnessed
incident, at least four of the black helicopters focussed for hours
on a
site off of the Oakville Grade, northwest of the Fire Station near
Dry Creek
Road.
While Napa is in its infancy in investigating black helicopters (and
some of
the local media acting in infantile ways about the subject), the mysterious
black helicopters are a well-talked about and well-written about phenomena
in many other western states. Stay tuned.

READERS ANSWER BACK: They are looking for pot growers. They do
that every year. I have
pictures of them and the pilot looking at me taking the
pictures. They use these copters because of the short blades and handle
in the tight canyons. No big deal. They also use satellite pictures to
zone in on areas and tell people they need to cut their brush. There are
landing zones all around the counties up here. That's for fire, crashes,
evacuations. They bring fuel to the area so they can fuel up rather flying
miles to get fuel at a base. They are only landing zones. Those are real
small copters, two seaters. Black? Look again it's dark green.
There are also private firms that get contracted too. Speaking of black,
Ahnold's last name means "BLACK PLOWMAN."
Well. isn't that Special!
