Naval air station

The fighting was over.

The emergency missions were supposed to be behind them, and life at the Naval Air Stations had begun to settle back into training and routine.

But that evening, the urgency must have felt strangely familiar.

Somewhere out over the Atlantic were five missing Navy aircraft and 14 men rapidly running out of fuel.

And the more you look into Moffett Field's history, the stranger it gets.

A CIA Sunshine Project document that's declassified now mentions, quote, "Arrangements have been made with Moffett Field, California, a Naval Air Station, for the transmission of classified messages tied to psychological research between the Sunshine Project and the CIA." This suggests that Moffett Field was used, at the very least, as a communications relay point for projects in the Cold War era.

So what were those projects? MKUltra, for one.

And I'll be honest with you, I thought that MKUltra was completely a conspiracy theory.

The Army did not announce until this past week.

A live fire event took place during a five-week training program at the Naval Air Station to familiarize soldiers with the Typhoon.

We also call it the MRC mid-range capability.

We know this thing can fire two types of long-range missiles, One's the SM-6 and one's the Tomahawk.

And the furor now about the, you know, upcoming execution of Nidal, Major Nidal Hassan, you know, underscores exactly that point.

Or going back to 2019, the only successful al-Qaeda attack driven, conceived terrorist attack in the United States since 9-11 was, of course, when the Saudi pilot trainee managed to acquire a handgun and killed eight sailors and wounded 13 others at the Naval Air Station there.

So the insider threat, I think, is pervasive everywhere.

And it's something that, obviously, this is, for terrorists, this is the jewel in the crown if they can turn someone that has the access and has the knowledge to affect the terrorist attacks.

Yeah, yeah.

I mean, many questions, but we can try to keep this limited, would be, um, my main concern was, uh, you know, where, where I lived in, in, uh, Orange County, where we have, uh, Los Alamitos, uh, Naval Air Base, and then down the line we have a underground bunker where the ammunition.

Down further on the lay line, you have the, uh, Seal Beach Naval Shipyard, and there was a lot of activity there when I was living there for five years.

But my question is, uh, I saw a domino-size, like a, like an aircraft carrier-size, uh, ship come out with the tower of a aircraft carrier.

They also gave false and misleading statements and tried to delete the photographs.

And then there's another case, also University of Michigan students, but in Florida, where two Chinese nationals were sentenced to prison for illegally photographing facilities at a Naval Air Station in Key West.

And folks, this is why there is so much debate surrounding the idea of having Chinese nationals from an adversary area, adversarial country come to the United States and study at our universities.

Listen, don't go anywhere.

Um, those strobes are pr- are unique because they're, they're required by the, um, FAA because they're, the tower is just basically right in between two major airports.

One is Key West International, um, and that's to the, uh, west, and then just to the east of that tower is, um, Boca Chica N- Naval Air Station, um, or Ke- Key West Naval Air Station on Boca Chica Key.

I wanna share, uh, briefly a picture.

I don't know if you can see it here.
