Utah Resident Here, I live in orem and don't exactly know where dugway is but the most recent news article of reliable source-itude i found stated
"Dugway Proving Ground, in Utah’s western desert, was placed on lockdown Wednesday evening.
Al Vogel, a public affairs specialist for the installation, would only say that the lockdown began at 5:24 p.m. Employees were not allowed to leave, and those coming to work were not allowed in. Vogel said there were no injuries, no damage and no threats reported at the proving ground. There were about 1,200 to 1,400 people at Dugway when the lockdown occurred.
Dugway Proving Ground is a U.S. Army testing and training base in Tooele County where military weapons are tested."

Here's her facebook public profile (I'm not friends with her).
She's put on a few pounds - but she reports she's from Huntsville Alabama. Testing dangerous chemical weapons must force her to put on some pounds!
Hmm... hard to think it's the same girl....

Yeah, it's hard to believe, but believe it or not, people can put on weight pretty quickly, especially if they are under stress.
Vast tracts of military-owned desert were chosen for the testing because of their remoteness and resemblance to the mountainous, arid environment of Afghanistan, the military said in a statement. The dirigibles are outfitted with radar and communications systems to provide long-range surveillance targeting threats from aircraft, ballistic and cruise missiles. Waltham, Mass.-based Raytheon Co. was awarded a $1.4 billion contract from the Army in 2007 to design, build and test the aerostats.
