I dont know if we should belive this map.. would US tell the world about its weak points..
might aswell paint a big X and write "hit us hard here"

I wouldn't be surprised if there are many more that they simply are not telling us about. I wouldn't be surprised if they have them hiding out in other countries to.

Hello,

First posting here. I just wanted to mention that in Bangor, ME, we have missle silos. Maine is the most eastern state in the Union (logical for quick response launches). We have Loring AFB, which was closed, but still is used by military personnel. While it was open, it was the furthest east AFB in the US. My father remembers B-51's and larger planes takingoff and landing at Pease AFB (Bangor) as a kid in the 1950's. If the history buffs remember the U-1 spyplane, it had also launched from Bangor, ME. In a state that has a smaller population than nearly any city in the US, we have lots of military testing done. My ground school instructor had many stories of military testing stories of crashes, etc that I loved to hear. I also know first hand of a underground fuel line from Bucksport, ME to Loring AFB through many, many miles of Maine Woods.

But what also fascinated me was BOMARC Industrial Park in Bangor. All the older buildings have a giant hinge mechanism built into the long sides. These were so the building could open like a clam shell and the missle would be able to launch from under the floor. There is also an "expansion" seam in the center of the building's cement floor running the entire length of the building. I have seen these myself because one of the building is (was) an auto repair place. The mechanic/owner was not allowed to drill into the concrete to mount a car lift. He said it was against the rental agreement to do any floor, ceiling, or "mechanical wall modification".


Now, some of these buildings are vacant, and appear to have been vacant for some time. Yet, they have not been torn down and newer "office- type" buildings built on the old "pads".

Am looking forward to any comments or more information.

Hey my state is the only one with a Lab, a Silo, and a Plant!!


Right now we are winning!!!! If we go to Nuclear war for some reason...we would be losing...

I wish I had some nukes in my back yard; keep the neighbor from raking his freakin' leaves in my yard again.

There are lots of kmz files for google earth showing the location of all the different types of missiles and silos in the US. There are also overlays showing Russian locations as well. There are also overlays showing all the different test site locations around the world. Below is an example of one of the silo files. This shows only a fraction of all the silos in the US, both active and inactive. If you go to the Google Earth forums and search the military forum, you can easily find the links to the kmz files.

well guys there is an op out there called granite shadow that can be found on the net if looked for that has uncle sam placing nukes in every state. i live in ok and have seen what appeared to be the tranformers escorting three semis around from henryetta to mcalster to shawnee ok. no one knows what was on these trucks but that is my guess. im talking the nicest 4 wheel drive vans, and trucks with lift kits brush guards and blacked out. i was in the army so i am fimilar with what spec ops look like.

I think the people in the comments section are confused. The map is supposed to show where our nuclear warheads are located, not the location of nuclear power plants which is what alot of the comments are related too.

Well that's what the map is showing for the most part, nuclear power plants!!

Just another liberal article to scare people.

I have to agree with other posters. The map isn't accurate. I know of a few that I learned about in the military that are not listed, or are listed as power plants.

Also, I know Nevada was a testing range and I also know that the majority of the land is owned by the US Government. With it's climate and lack of people, I'm fairly certain Nevada has some that aren't public knowledge. I'm using the same logic for Utah.

Back when I lived in Kansas City, where I grew up, I looked at a U.S. fallout map one day. Nevermind the blast - to get away from the fallout, I found to my dismay that the Ozarks were no refuge, but that to get to a safe area, my best bet was to go west on I-70 past Salina, Kansas. Oh, great: Kansas - land of disenchantment. Now in S.E. New Mexico, the main danger is fallout from Phoenix, Arizona, that is, if Alamagordo doesn't get hit. The best place will be a remote area in the southern hemisphere.

Interesting map. I'm surrounded AND I know that we are on a fault line or two. Makes for an interesting combination. YIKES. Oh .. and we've got all the nuke plants too. What fun. NOT.
