Even after the fall of the Soviet Union, the 14,000-ton military radar installation in northern Ukraine, near the border with Belorussia, has remained a mystery to outside observers, largely because it sits right next to the Chernobyl Atomic Energy Station, where a reactor meltdown in the spring of 1986 rendered the surrounding area uninhabitable for the next, oh, several thousand years. Then again, a nuclear wasteland is just the sort of thing to attract a jaded 21st century tourist who doesn’t want to hear about your wild week on Phuket, and the Exclusion Zone has recently seen a drastic increase in visitors, even if it remains a potential radioactive tinderbox. The site deemed Chernobyl 2—a tiny military outpost that housed the operation of The Russian Woodpecker, known formally as Duga-3—is also opening up to tourists, albeit more slowly.
...
And yet the Russian Woodpecker ... even made it (metaphorically, alas) to the Sundance Film Festival in the form of The Russian Woodpecker, a documentary by the American filmmaker Chad Garcia.
...
Still, it’s hard to call Alexandrovich’s version of events anything other than a conspiracy theory; if he were not such a magnetic subject, or if Chernobyl weren’t so eerily telegenic, I doubt there would have been a sleek American documentary for me to write about. The film records Alexandrovich’s increasingly strong conviction that the Russian Woodpecker was the pet project of a high-ranking Communist Party bureaucrat named Vasily A. Shamshin. Alexandrovich—who does not have a background in the sciences, though he assiduously interviews many people who do—argues that the radar was never going to be any good at intercepting American missiles, that it was like so much of the Soviet Union, superficially impressive but fundamentally pointless.

UNIFIED CONSPIRACY THEORY:
In 1908, an alien spacecraft exploded at Tunguska, Russia;
The Roswell alien spacecraft was a rescue mission for the Tunguska crash, but it fell through a wormhole and crashed in the New Mexico desert 39 years later;
A piece of alien technology from the Roswell crash was discovered by a teenager named Elvis Presley;
Presley turned it over to the Nazi scientists of Operation Paperclip (Presley was placed in a government relocation program in Memphis, TN, where he promptly blew cover);
The Nazi scientists reverse-engineered the alien technology and developed the Internet, GMO’s, fracking and chemtrail technology, which in turn sucks our precious bodily fluids from the atmosphere and provides power for the HAARP array;
The HAARP array destroyed the Twin Towers and the Pentagon on the order of George W. Bush, who personally detonated them from his secret Skull and Bones man-cave beneath the campus of UT-Austin.
There, it all makes sense, Mulder and Scully were right, The Truth Is Out There, man!

Sound of the Duga 3.
I hear Scully and Mulder are returning to TV for a revival of X-Files or something like it. Somebody please tell them to stay home and pursue other projects.
In Soviet Russia, conspiracies theorize about YOU...
I knew it was aliens!
WTH is a "14-ton Radar?" In re: "Tourists to the Radiation Zone" How many we talking about? 25 one year, 50 the next? Whoa! That's a 100% increase!
Meantime, lots of good documentaries on Wild Life in the Radiation Zone.
Check it out.
“Mulder and Scully were right, The Truth Is Out There, man!”
They weren’t the first to figure all this out. JFK knew it too, but he was eliminated before he could talk.
But, Chernobyl DOES mean Wormwood Right?
Just Saying....
How many people actually get your tagline?
And Dick Cheney orchestrated the whole thing from a secret room in the sub-basement of a mansion owned by the Rothschilds - a room which, using ancient alien technology, exists in a dimension beyond time, allowing Dick Cheney and other members of the Illuminati to manipulate past, present and future world events...
Kind of sounds like Russia’s ELF transmit/receive station to Submarines.
Used Chernobyl for cheap power to drive it till it blew up and contaminated the site.
No has ever mentioned it. Of course, it’s been up since that episode first air.
thanks!
.... when you dare to interrupt with this drivel?
Mr. Moderator ......
“But, Chernobyl DOES mean Wormwood Right?”
No, it actually means mugwort.
Semi news articles like this explain why NewsWeak has been dying for a long time.
I get it. It's a phrase you do NOT want to hear when Carol is standing behind you! lol
Art? Art Bell! Is that you?
