The mining accident that happened in Copiapo, Chile in 2010 brought the entire region worldwide attention as the 33 miners miraculously survived what has been called a "cave-in" at the San Jose copper-gold mine in the Atacama Desert. The men somehow survived for a record 69 days. When they emerged safe and mostly sound, rumors began to spread from their friends, families, coworkers, eyewitnesses to the rescue, and people there on vacation or otherwise passing through
Upon rescue, most of the 33 miners were immediately quarantined and debriefed by black-suited U.S. agents of an unknown agency. Only 3 men were exempt from this initial debriefing because of extreme dental problems and required immediate dental surgery under general anesthesia. The official account states that the other miners were in general good health except for scratch, gouge, puncture and slash wounds resulting from the cave-in and attempts to dig out. U.S. defense contractors, heavily armed, discreetly guarded a mini-compound occupied by U.S. interests inside the tent city that sprang up around the mining site.
Stranger is the fact that immediately after "Los 33" (the name given to the miners translating as "The 33"), a team of NASA scientists entered the tunnel system, escorted by armed defense contractors and what appeared to be a Special Forces team, eyewitnesses reported. A perimeter was then secured around the entrance as a fence was erected, preventing further visual observation.
"What is NASA doing in Chile?" you might ask. Here is the official answer: NASA is conducting soil tests of the most arid desert in the world, the Atacama Desert, which also happens to harbor an extensive array of large cavern systems perfect for simulated Mars research. NASA has stated that the arid conditions and cave formations in the Atacama Desert are good matches for the terrain on Mars and has dispatched a team of scientists there to explore the region's caverns. It has also been reported that this team of scientists has security provided by defense contractors and Special Operations operatives. It is quite possible that this team of NASA scientists is the very team sighted entering the San Jose mine after Los 33 was rescued. But why?

Quite interesting in a conspiratorial kind of way, I would just like to see more on the reptoid angle alluded to in the title...
Sure, underground happenings, stories of Dulce and all that, but none of the links really seem to get in to this subject. Tell us more about the reptoids, man, and what would lead you to believe that they are what is hiding at the bottom of this mine, other than BIN, please?

While NASA has publicly admitted to exploring the caves of the Atacama Desert to conduct "Martian research," there subterranean forays might have a classified mission attached to them as well. A defense contractor for security who wishes to remain anonymous to retain his or her position has stated that NASA is looking for alien life on our own planet. The life may or may not be indigenous to Earth, but certainly lives here, deep in major cavern systems, said the contractor. "For years NASA has had reports of 'reptoids' or 'reptilian humanoids.' Something happened and they decided to begin investigating. Why in the Atacama, I don't know." He or she continued, "But we found things. Remains of weird, shredded animals. Molted skin or something. And there was a brief firefight after one of our contractors went missing. The strange thing about his disappearance was all the blood, and then reading that he had been killed in Afghanistan four months later." NASA officially ended their Atacama exploration in 2010, perhaps with the events leading up to the Chilean mining disaster in mind. The friends of Los 33 tell a chilling tale that is far different from the official account provided by mainstream media outlets.

Accoring to people close to Los 33, friends, family and some who
simply overheard the stories circulating around, the incident was no
simple "cave-in." This accounting has been pieced together from
various conversations, emails and written letters...
Apparently, while searching for the source of a vein of gold, one of
the mining detachments blasted through a wall of rock and discovered
an enormous natural cavern on the other side whose walls shined with
over a dozen thick veins of gold and other precious metals. The
detachment members were quite happy and some of the men broke protocol
by charging into the room to pick-ax gold nuggets. Word spread
quickly, "like bad air," someone said. Soon, dozens of miners were
all over the cavern entrance, picking at the gold, making lots of
noise and ignoring their jobs. As the detachment leader tried to
wrangle the men back into the mine, a small group of men explored
farther into the cavern.
Soon, things quieted down a bit, as miners focused on picking at the
gold veins. "Everyone was very happy," a miner's relative stated,
"until they heard screams coming from across the cavern. Most of the
miners were spooked and ran back into the mines except for the
detachment leader who ordered men from his team to come with him to
help the screaming men." By the time they got to the location of the
screaming, it was too late. They found four or five men (it was hard
to tell who was who and if all the parts were still there) in pools of
splattered blood. "It was a gory mess," said someone. One of the
detachment crew had gotten blood all over himself, having slipped on a
puddle of it. He lost his wits, trying to wipe the blood and gore
from his face with an fresh handerchief (later confiscated by NASA for
DNA testing). As they tried to calm him down, the detachment heard
hissing and crackling, like nails or claws making way across wet
stone. The team called for help on their walky-talkies and
immediately left the cave ("ran for their lives," in one email
account).
Having made their way through the blast hole, they realized that two
of them were missing. More screams echoed from the cavern, these more
bloodcurdling than the first set. The detachment leader made a
decision as he saw "bloddy, walking lizards" coming for the blast
hole. He ordered the hole blasted shut immediately and set three
crews to work. In a frantic rush, they rigged explosives as the
"reptoids" advanced, still chewing on the remains of the doomed miners
who had ventured too far.
One or two repotoids made it through the initial blast hole as crews
rolled wire down the tunnel, so as not to be caught in the blast.
Reptoids now in the mining tunnels began to kill anyone foolish enough
to challenge them with hand-held, powered mining equipment. Finally,
the explosives were ready and the detachment leader ordered the blast.
The explosion resulted in a cave-in of sorts, sealing the original
blast hole under tons of rock. However, an untold number of the
reptilian fiends was loose in their tunnels. Most, they hoped, had
been killed in the blast, but no one was certain how many, if any,
were roaming. More screaming told them that at least one was still
lurking. At this point, the miners believed there were about 44
survivors in the area. After fighting with the reptoid in the dark
for a few hours of hide-and-seek (and having many more deaths), the
remaining 33 took shelter in protected area built for cave-ins. The
area also prevented the reptoid from entering. Here they remained in
horror and shock for the next 17 days as more cave-ins happend around
them, unsure whether they were caused by the reptoid(s) trying to dig
in, out or from blast damage.
Many of Los 33 have developed herpetophobia (fear of lizards,
reptiles) since their ordeal.
With the above account in mind, one might wonder about the true nature
of NASA's ventures into the caverns of the Atacama Desert. Why bring
heavily armed defense contractors and special operations forces on a
scientific jaunt into the "underdark?" Perhaps it is because NASA and
our government know something about "what's down there" than they are
letting us in on. For decades, there have been reports of special
operations teams (including British SAS) "exploring" caves around the
world, specifically in Central and South America. Now NASA is
involved. Could there be "alien" life, or at least unknown life,
beneath our feet? For now, it seems that NASA is in some kind of
confrontation with subterranean reptilian entities (SREs).

well its not the first time ive heard about reptoid/retillians.
but after reading it it sounds like it can be true. but i never heard anything even similar to that from anywhere else (i didnt even know nasa had gotten involved) but who knows, our government is getting good at keeping secrets from us

Here is a video of Edison on Letterman Show.
Does this look like a man that has just been in a war
with reptoid aliens ????

It's an interesting story, but the fact remains that there was a lot of press coverage of the miners returning to the surface and not one of them seemed as distressed as even the hardiest of military men would've been, had they been recently attacked/mutilated by a race of beings that had eaten their friends and co-workers.
Sorry - although I would never say never with regards to the potential for other lifeforms to exist - this story, to me, is too far away from what I've seem of the facts as presented to the world (live footage too) at the time, via many, many media outlets, not just the mainstream ones.

Im not trying to refute what the op thinks NASA is there for but so far nobody has offered any normal reason why NASA might be there, it is a gold mine, gold works very well for temperature control in space exploration. Although the whole reptoid angle is way more interesting.
