Deep in the heart of flying-saucer land, a real estate agent is peddling conspiracy theorists' dream home. This Atlas-F nuclear missile silo — decommissioned, of course — is one of a dozen around Roswell, New Mexico, a remote town best known as the site of a supposed flying-saucer crash in 1947. (Almost 50 years later, the Air Force revealed that the wreckage was actually an atomic-age spy contraption meant to detect minute atmospheric evidence of Soviet nuclear test blasts on the other side of the planet.)

I actually looked at that place years ago when it was for sale for about $90K
The lower levels were flooded, and came with a warning that the water was full of toxins.

Despite that, I was tempted, but couldn’t quite afford it at the time.

It's a little bigger once you get in.





The hole in the wall in the picture below is about 10' in diameter.

What's in the hole. Those are two 4' X 8' sheets of plywood on the floor.

I like to have and area out in the middle of now way drop off gangs members and then have a big pile of guns and let them stand up and go at it.

No more innocent people in the crossfire!

That would be a dream come true if I had the unlimited monies to convert it into an underground housing complex.

I've seen similar projects that were absolutely magnificent in the creativity that went into their renovations............
