I didn,t think it was THAT boring.!!

I,ve seen that machine before,rumoured to be shipped to Antarctica,I think that it was a hoax though because I recall one of the guys standing wearing shorts in one of the pictures

my remotely educated opinion says that these "drilling machines" are very real and will be used to eventually drop entire citys on an instant....you digg a series of tunnels under a city and load them up with heavy explosives and boom the whole city implodes and becomes a leveled wasteland.......hmmmmm scary

I believe this machine was first mentioned the September, 1983 issue of Omni (Pg. 80). It had a colour picture too I wonder if anyone has this issue of Omni magazine???

Just to clarify, I was referring to the ''Antarctica'' part being a hoax.
I,m sure the subject was covered on ATS.
As I said I believe the location was hoaxed and a picture of a guy in shorts was superimposed.

He must have had some pretty sturdy weatherproof knees to cope with those kind of temps

Cool, this is the real deal then. Would love to see one of these monsters in action. I didnt realise these machines were admitted as existing.

Offcourse if these are public knowledge, perhaps the nuclear driven, wall-glacing machines really exist as well !?

IAMOVERLORD, its a scary thought for sure, makes you wonder about all the people around the world reporting machinery sounds coming from the ground at night. "Nighty night, y´all - hope your floor wont fall !!!"

They've been sown on The History Channel many times because they are widely used to drill tunnels. The are even using 2 to drill the facility in Yucca Mountain.

They're real, they're just not "atomic." Just ordinary (expensive) heavy machinery. And they move REAL slow and they're noisy. You couldn't miss them... every seismograph in the area would be going crazy.

Thats what they used to drill the chunnel! Those things are huge, heavy and VERY slow moving. I believe they are using these to make some really huge tunnel under the alps to. Oh and they are not nuclear powered as far as I know, Although it would make a little sense if they were, much like a nuclear submarine, but the whole "Leaves glass walls" is crap

I was talking about that specifc machine, i never saifd that there were not any machines that did not melt walls.
i was referring to just your conventional tunnel boring machine.
Plus your quote say PLANS and a "report called for" that doesnt mean that there are such machines, although i would speculate that there are.
Good Find.

i cant see them being used to whipe out cities with explosives...its would take too long to get to a target city underground, the cost would be insane. we would just launch a nuke.

these machines are amazing, just makes you wonder how many underground tunnels exist...be awsome to see a map of all the underground tunnels in the USA.

If there is some truth to these deep, deep underground bases, then why did the channel tunnel take so long?

Just remember that what is available to the public in terms of tech is decades if not more behind what the government has. I remember reading a article about solar energy and that the gov. is testing a material that absorbs and converts the energy but has the pliability of regular cloth. I believe they were using it to make self-powered tents. When you have total access to the greatest and most brilliant scientists and thinkers in the world at your beck and call, you tend to be far ahead of the curve. We sqaunder billions a day on R&D of stuff that will never reach the public. The trickle-down effect is so in action.
