Does anyone know of a book written by a non-conspiracy theorist that talks about cool stuff like that Big Hole?

I'd love to read an entire book about this stuff.

It would be beneficial if yall could post a live link instead of just coordinates along with any background on the area as well.



Linux users made this in Oregon

I had to find the link...appears it was done in 2006 and updated in 2012 but google left the old image and apparently the link takes you elsewhere...odd.

Lost nuclear bomb, outside of Goldsboro, NC (obviously an approximate location). Pretty cool story if you've never heard of it

"The two nuclear weapons separated from the gyrating aircraft as it broke up between 10,000 and 2,000 feet (3,000 and 610 m). Five of the six arming mechanisms on one of the bombs activated, causing it to execute many of the steps needed to arm itself, such as charging the firing capacitors and, critically, deployment of a 100-foot-diameter (30 m) retard parachute. The parachute allowed that bomb to hit the ground with little damage. According to former military analyst Daniel Ellsberg, he saw highly classified documents indicating that the pilot’s safe/arm switch was the only one of the six arming devices on the bomb that prevented detonation"

"The second bomb plunged into a muddy field at around 700 miles per hour (310 m/s) and disintegrated. Parts of the bomb were recovered, including its tritium bottle and the plutonium. However, excavation was abandoned as a result of uncontrollable ground-water flooding. Most of the thermonuclear stage, containing uranium, was left in situ. The Army Corps of Engineers purchased a 400 feet (120 m) circular easement over the buried component. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill determined the buried depth of the secondary component to be 180 feet (55 m), plus or minus 10 feet (3.0 m). The commander of the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Team, Lt. Jack B. ReVelle, said of the bomb: "How close was it to exploding? My opinion is damn close. "
