Pine Gap, one of the most significant underground facilities on the planet
‘Mind the gap’ is a phrase delivered loudly and with a strange slow
and deliberate delivery at many London underground stations, as in ‘mind
the gap between the platform and the train, please’. But this week I
have been close to another ‘gap’ that is rather more sinister. I mean
sinister, as in global importance sinister. We should ‘mind’ this ‘gap’
even more.
I spent a night in Alice Springs in Australia's Northern Territories
and a short drive from there is Pine Gap, one of the most significant
underground facilities on the planet. It is located some twelve miles
from the very centre of Australia and began operations in 1966. I was
driven out to the base to get a ‘feel’ for the place. That is all you
can really do, because you are told to turn back before you even see the
entrance to the base. We drove on past the turn-back sign until we
could see the main gate, but even that is well forward of the facility
itself.
I say facility – there is very little on the surface. I had a great
view from my aircraft when I flew back to Alice Springs and all you can
see are a series of ‘domes’ or ‘balls’ known as ‘radomes’, and a few
buildings here and there. Everything else is underground and this
‘everything else’ is massive. It is reckoned to go down at least 12
levels with long tunnels going out in all directions to who knows where.
Work is obviously ongoing, too. A resident told me that enormous
amounts of concrete are being delivered to the base at this time.
All of us in the car that got close enough to see the entrance had
the same feeling of being drained of energy and experiencing headaches
and I am sure we were either hit by some electromagnetic device or
simply that an electromagnetic field is being beamed from the base into
the near vicinity. Certainly for all of us to feel the same confirmed
that one or the other is true.
