My brother in law was assigned to WPAFB straight out of college with dual honors
degrees in advanced physics and chemistry.

So what does the Air Force do with this brilliant mind?

They had him design missle silos,
so they could see what it would take to blow them up.



And no, he won't tell me anything else about what goes on there.

This is an old post but I just found it and thought I'd add my 2 cents. When I was in the Air Force a friend of mine that was a fuel truck driver got orders to Wright Patt, what was funny was he had to get a Top Secret security clearence to go. We all made the "Hanger 18" jokes then he PCS'ed. I ran into him a few years later and asked him what they had him doing there. He said he REALLY couldn't talk about it but did say there was twice as much of that base underground as there was above it and that he was glad to be out of there and in Korea (even blitzed on Soju he wouldn't say what he did at Wright Patt, he'd just get all pissed off that I kept asking him and leave.)

Wright Patterson received the materials recovered from the Roswell site.
And the there are many stories that I have heard here in Canada of the underground base. Its not spoken of nearly as much as Area 51 etc. But I believe that because so much fosus is on Area51 that a good amount of black research goes on there.

Do you know where this underground base in canada would be? I wonder how many secrets Toronto holds...

I am glad that those who work(ed) there aren't talking. If any of you want to check that base out join the Air Force and put Wright-Patterson on your dream sheet and see if you get orders there.

Maybe someone who works there will bring you on base and show you around. Taking pictures is allowed in certain areas of any base. If you want to take pictures of other areas clear it with the base's public affairs office first. You don't want Security Forces to have you on the ground with a gun pointed at you. That is some important info to keep anyone out of trouble.

You can schedule tours, but you need to provide them info about your group and no more then 25 people. 30 day advance notice is required. Itineraries are individually planned base on each group's requirements. Don't take that the wrong way and ask for a tour of the supposed underground facilities, but you never know if you don't ask.

This is off the public .mil site for this base. I think some of this info will make you wonder about what goes on there.

Wright- Patterson AFB, Ohio

is one of the largest and most important bases in the United States Air Force.

is the birthplace, home, and future of aerospace.

is managed and maintained by Aeronautical Systems Center, the Air Force organization responsible for developing, acquiring, modernizing and sustaining the world's best aerospace systems.

is in many measures the largest, most diverse and organizationally complex base in the Air Force. Missions range from acquisition and logistics management, to research and development, education, flight operations, and many other defense related activities.

is home to the foremost aeronautical and aerospace research organization in the Air Force, the Air Force Research Laboratory.

has a workforce numbering approximately 22,000 people, making it the fifth largest employer in the state of Ohio and the largest employer at a single location. Nearly 10,000 of these people are civilians.

includes the Air Force Institute of Technology which trains thousands of students each year and the Air Force Museum which receives more than 1.2 million visitors a year.

I wouldn't mind working there if they asked me, sounds like a cool place.

hahaha. what possible reason would the gov't have for keeping a captured bigfoot on an airforce base. that makes absolutely no sense.

I grew up just outside WPAFB. During the 60's and 70's, there was a SAC squadron of B-52's stationed there...rattled everything in the house everytime they took off...it was sweet. I miss the sonic booms from the F-4 Phantoms. We grew up with the knowledge that our neighborhood would be the edge of the crater. So you have to realize that all the underground stuff was for SAC command during a potential direct nuclear attack from the Soviets. There are also underground bunkers offsite in the area. One had an artilley gun mounted on a trailer pointed right at the gate. Of course, we were teenagers and were not intimidated by the gun, we just couldn't figure out where to hide it if we stole it.

My uncle retired from Patterson for a full 20 year about 3-4 years ago & haven't talked to him since but I always used to ask him what he did there, all he ever told me every time was he did some type of data filing/ server security encryption stuff and that's all he could say not even a hint about the type of information...of course aliens/UFO questions followed but nothing but tight lipped, only thing I ever got was he said he saw things being moved around under canvas coverings sometimes

Alright...I'm an Airman 1st Class in the USAF and I'm currently stationed here. I knew all about the stories of underground sections to the base and Roswell wreckage being sent here waaay before I even thought about joining the military.

The day I arrived here, it was January...so there was still lots of snow. I was given a tour of the base by a Master Sergeant but couldn't see much. It wasn't until the snow cleared that I decided to explore Area B of the base. I noticed these little ventilation ball things coming out of the ground in the 4 corners of almost every parking lot! They are seriously all over the base.

Area B is also full of man-made hills...it's sort of creepy. I get a really spooky vibe when I drive through Area B. A lot of the buildings don't have windows and even though there are 5 large hangars, the last 2 have all the windows painted so you can't see through. It's also true that the airstrip is never used.

My brother visited once and I told him I'd show him around the base. When we got to Area B, I was driving by the hangars when we noticed a little stone shack-type building. I crept by in the car and we could see through the windows and see that there was a ladder leading down into darkness. Needless to say, we were creeped out...despite the fact that it's probably just a normal old maintenance shack of some sort.

It's just that so many things seem out of place on this base. I was speaking to my supervisor once while in class and we were all talking about the AFRL over in Area B. The topic came to aliens and paranormal things at one point...to which he started to get a little ansy. I could tell he didn't want to keep talking about it much but he did tell us there WAS an underground portion of the base built back in the 60's or something and the reason was for if a riot/revolt broke loose, we could all just go underground and lock ourselves in and continue working.

Everyone I've spoken to on this base agrees that there is an underground section, even my squadron commander who is a Lt. Colonel claims to know about it. I'm PCS'ing next week and planned on grabbing my camera and taking various pictures of interest around the base this weekend, probably tomorrow. I will definitely get pics of those ventilation ducts and that little "ladder building". I just feel like I will probably never be on this base again in my career and I have this opportunity right now to explore (safely and to some extent, haha) the base and satisfy my paranormal knowledge needs...

ok so like i said, I do have some pics...but I'm not quite sure whether I should post them or not. It's just some pics of ventilation ducts and a various buildings...boring stuff I suppose.
