I have been on buckley in denver and I am in Civil Air Patrol there is nothing secret on it. I have been to almost all of the facilities. The giant bubbles are radar for the base. The hangers just house f-16's and other jets. Nothing secret is going on.

Sorry to dissapoint ya'all, but those big golf balls are opperated by NSGA Buckley (formerly NSGD Buckley). Back in the 90's NSGD stood for Naval Security Detachment. It now stands for Naval Secruity Group Acitivity.
As an ex crypto, those "golf balls" house satellite communications both unclassfied and classified "senistive, compartitmentalized" (i.e., Top Secret - Codeword) communications. They represent the hub of the classified communications network for sites like Norad, SAC and the Northern American Defense Network.
As I worked my days out of NSGA Northwest (reclaimed swamp land on the VA/NC border, down route 168) I use to use resources located at Buckley and others around the world. Trust me when I say there is nothing at Buckley worth using as part of a covert intellegence collection initiative. The location is too far inland. If it were used for collection, it would not come from concave satallite dishes in protective domes. You would see large high-wire anttennas next to the enemy or target.
You will probably not see the NSGA listed on any site as thier presence is usually kept quite. However, since all naval cryptologists report directly to the NSA, I would encourage anyone to inquire the NSA. However, at the last "Taste of Colorado" I did have a host serving up dishes of hot dogs by uniformed Cryptologists.
He, He.
Spoken just like someone that has never "been" there.
