First off. Along I-10 you pass several major places on the Gulf between Mississippi and Eglin AFB.
Ingalls Ship Yard, a sub division of Northrop Grumman Ship Systems. They supposedly make US Destroyers and other Ship systems there.
Driven by this place many of times. I also live in Pensacola. The main cool thing I have ever seen there was a destoryer looking vessel, (note this was seen from the interstate).
Pensacola Naval Air Station, supposed to not be an active base outside of refuel and air shows (Blue Angels)
OCS (Officer Candidate School) and other naval training flight facilities. They usually take off their jet trainers from there and practice dog fighting above my house. Its very interesting to watch 2 T-2 Buckeyes go at it. And the other prop planes (for the newer pilots) are learning navigation by tracking the Saufley VOR 108.800 KNUN and holding the pattern. I hear them ALL THE TIME.
Eglin Air Force Base, the world’s largest free world public air force base. I don't think I need to tell people much more about this as, it’s not something hard to look into.
I heard that secret aircraft are pretty much in and out of their not as uncommon as some may think. I was told that it is pretty frequent that classified aircraft fly in and out for the Weather Testing.
Besides these major facilities, there are several sub-bases in the areas. Helicopter fields, training centers.
Over by Whiting Field is where most of the helicopter training goes on. They also track the Saufley VOR as well as the localizer for the ILS approach at KPNS (Pensacola Regional).
SAM sites (located under ground in pop up bunkers, mostly around the bases and the local air ports).
now THIS has caught my attention. Please tell where these places COULD be, as for I will search for them
Of all the small bases that have caught my eye locally, one of them stands out. Saufley Field, Pensacola Florida; its primary uses and sections are the NETPDTC (Naval Education & Training Program Development & Technology Center), a Level 1 Federal Prison Camp, DFAS (Defense Financial Accounting Systems Activity), and several other programs. It has approximately a 10 foot high mound surrounding part of the base so you can not see in directly. (This may have changed in the past year, and supposed use is to prevent prisoner escape...wouldn’t that be a fence, not a mound?) I often wonder if this is not one of the FEMA camps sometimes mentioned online.
I have flown over this place many times while tracking its VOR. Let me just say that there are a BUNCH of FEMA trailers their. They were lined up one after another, after another, after another. About 1/32 of the base is filled up of them.
At the NAS, about two decades ago or less, a monkey bit two naval researchers when NAS was active. The entire hospitals knew about this, and were told to NOT tell a soul, to prevent mass panic. In the hospital the two men were kept, anyone going to them had to wear full HAZMAT suits, and those suits were immediately burned upon exiting of the containment room at Sacred Heart Hospital. The monkey was killed, the officers died. No other information that I can provide.
I can assure you that these men and the monkeys were not at Sacred Heart Hospital. That place wouldnt be able to hold something like that. I am not dissing them, I am just saying that I fell over a bike one time and the end of the handlebar jabbed in my neck. I went up there and it took the THREE and a half hours to FINALLY get me to the back. They will let you die in the waiting room.
Another experience, I have a witness with this. My sister and I were out star gazing in the front yard. Three white lights came from the south, about 6 stories off the ground, towards our position. I assumed it was a massive jet, like a B2 or a low flying, wide winged air craft. I was excited. It was near mid night, most of the very old neighbors were asleep. I just knew the craft was going to rock the neighborhood...
I also, saw something weird moving towards Eglin, AFB that flew right over NAS Pensacola. A friend and I were looking out for shooting stars right after Ivan (because the stree lights were out), and we saw this thing about the size of a baskettball floating through the sky. I saw it first and it almost reminded me of the type of cloaking you would find in the Predetor movie.
The next night, my grandmother, who was staying at my house, came into my office. She is very old, so I assumed when she said, "What is that noise, it woke me up, was that you?” that it was just her mind. I heard it, barely, when I had turned my headphones off, to hear what she was telling me. A steady, low throbbing beating noise; it reminded me of a V1, sort of, except a lower decimal level. It hit me. A ramjet or scramjet; was it a test flight out of Eglin AFB? I do not know I do know that nothing outside, that I could see, was making this noise. I do think I have an explanation, which I will go over in the next bit.
It could have been artillery testing from C-130's. Those bad boys are always flying over shooting their nice shiny Gatling guns into those big dirt piles you see sometimes when you drive out there. Ohh, and C-130's have a low humming noise as well, maybe it was this?
