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.
