No one in our area knew anything abou this growing up. I went there a couple of years ago and did a tour. Pretty cool.
Just goes to show you what the government can hide and for how long they can hide it.
Base on the Moon...possible? YES!!!

That is pretty neat. But I don't see how it relates to a moon base exactly. An underground bunker is pre stocked with food and supplies ahead of time and is not used till needed. Nor would anyone be living in it while it's not needed (perhaps the occasional inspection to make sure everything is working well). Unlike a moon base that would need regular and a constant resupply of food and all sorts of things. Rocket launches are somewhat hard to hide

I still say it is ridiculous and suspicious that our technology has advanced so exponentially and yet we are not even officially discussing going back to the Moon.

NASA saying they plan to go back to the moon around 2018 isn't official enough for you?

By now we could have had bases, an atmosphere and theme parks on the moon.
The reason we do not is that there is something on the moon that we are not to know about (yet). Alien bases or crashed experimental Nazi discs, dunno. Haven´t decided yet...

I tell you one thing though, if we are reverse engineering discs from Roswell, wouldn´t you try to fly to the moon with them?

On June 3, 1967 Hellyer flew in by helicopter to officially inaugurate an Unidentified flying object landing pad in St. Paul, Alberta. The town had built the landing pad as its Canadian Centennial celebration project, and as a symbol of keeping space free from human warfare. The sign beside the pad reads: "The area under the World's First UFO Landing Pad was designated international by the Town of St. Paul as a symbol of our faith that mankind will maintain the outer universe free from national wars and strife. That future travel in space will be safe for all intergalactic beings, all visitors from earth or otherwise are welcome to this territory and to the Town of St. Paul."
Throughout his life, Hellyer has been opposed to the weaponization of space. He supports the Space Preservation Treaty to ban space weapons.
In early September 2005, Hellyer made headlines by publicly announcing that he believed in UFOs. On September 25, 2005, he was an invited speaker at an exopolitics conference in Toronto where he told the audience that he had seen a UFO one night with his late wife and some friends. He said that though he discounted the experience at the time, he had kept an open mind to it. He said that he started taking the issue much more seriously after watching ABC's Peter Jennings' UFO special in February 2005.
Watching Jennings' UFO special prompted Hellyer to finally read U.S. Army Colonel Philip J. Corso's book The Day After Roswell about the Roswell UFO Incident which had been sitting on his shelf for some time. Hellyer told the Toronto audience that he later spoke to a retired Air Force General who confirmed the accuracy of the information in the book. In November, 2005, he accused U.S. President George W. Bush of plotting an "Intergalactic War." The former deputy prime minister told an audience at the University of Toronto: "The United States military are preparing weapons which could be used against the aliens, and they could get us into an intergalactic war without us ever having any warning" and "The Bush Administration has finally agreed to let the military build a forward base on the moon, which will put them in a better position to keep track of the goings and comings of the visitors from space, and to shoot at them, if they so decide."
Hellyer told the audience that in December 2004, he had enjoyed reading and had endorsed a book by Alfred Webre titled: "Exopolitics - Politics, Government and Law in the Universe". He ended his 30 minute historical talk with a standing ovation by stating: "To turn us in the direction of re-unification with the rest of creation the author is proposing a “Decade of Contact” – an “era of openness, public hearings, publicly funded research, and education about extraterrestrial reality.”

The Apollo Project was $25.4 billion -1969 Dollars, that makes it $135-billion in 2005 Dollars. NASA's current budget is just over 16 billion. That's not a lot. That 16 billion has to be spread through all the various programs. Some goes to the shuttle, some goes to the ISS, some to the Mars rovers, etc. Unlike Apollo where all 135billion went only to the Apollo program.
