Deep underground the Nevada desert about 100 miles northwest of the nearest major city

This is a true story. No B.S. Seriously!

A couple of weeks ago I found myself deep underground the Nevada desert about 100 miles northwest of the nearest major city. You don’t just stumble upon this place.

In the southwestern corner of the infamous Nevada Test Site, where more than 900 nuclear weapons have been detonated in the name of creating more effective warheads, there is a geographic feature that is nearly unique to this planet.

The Nevada Test Site is a right in the middle of 5,500 square miles of property removed from the public domain. The test site itself is nearly 1,400 square miles. Its perimeter is heavily guarded, surrounded by barbed wire and electronic surveillance to detect anyone dumb enough to try to cross into this place. The guards are not your typical rental cops. These guys are real U.S. Grade “A” Army; armed with Colt M4A1 assault rifles and 9 mm Beretta 92F semiautomatic pistols.

This place is called Yucca Mountain. It is the US Department of Energy’s demonstration site to store the nastiest nuclear waste. The proposed repository is in a geologically stable formation, 1,000 feet below the surface and more than 1,000 feet above the water table. There’s hardly any place like it in the world.

I was deep inside the tunnel, in one of the alcoves off of the main route, listening to one of the Department of Energy’s PhD geologist explain how billions of dollars have been spent to show that this area will be geologically stable for thousands of years. He was saying Chicago will have gone through two ice ages and the nuclear waste will still be sealed in its explosion proof containers.

As he pointed to the diagrams, charts, and graphs, I noticed a hole in the wall behind him. These were not naturally formed holes, but created by scientist drilling to place sensors to detect how gases and liquids moved through the rock. I couldn’t help but think about EarthCore and its crew of scientist spending huge sums of money to dig a hole deep in the desert to find the mother load. What they found was something no one would ever expect.

Behind the geologist, along the chiseled wall, I noticed something that was truly unnatural to this environment. At first I only saw part of it. As I stepped closer, I noticed six green shapes that looked like tentacles, each with a pointy object at the end… Could it be? ROCKTOPI!? How?! That was fiction.

If you don’t believe me check out the picture to see the proof.

I am lucky that I made it out of there to tell the story. And as God is my witness, it’s the truth. And the picture was really taken inside Yucca Mountain.
