This is a $13 million tunnel boring machine (TBM) used for tunneling at theNevada Test Site. (Remember that Area 51 is part of the test site.) Manyother types of TBMs are used by many government agencies, including the'nuclear powered TBM' [NTBM] that melts solid rock and leaves behind glass-like walls.

Most tunneling activity is under military installations and all information ishighly restricted. Former employees of said facilities have surfaced over theyears to talk of massive underground installations in places like Area 51, theNorthrop facility in Antelope Valley, California (rumored to have 42 levels),and the Lockheed installation near Edwards, California.

The 'Black Budget' currently consumes $1.25 trillion per year. At least thisamount is used in black programs, like those concerned with deep

underground military bases. Presently, there are 129 deep undergroundmilitary bases in the United States. They have been building these 129 basesday and night, unceasingly, since the early 1940's. Some of them were builteven earlier than that. These bases are basically large cities undergroundconnected by high-speed magneto-leviton trains that have speeds up toMach 2. Several books have been written about this activity.

The average depth of these bases is over a mile, and they again are

basically whole cities underground. They all are between 2.66 and 4.25 cubicmiles in size. They have laser-drilling machines that can drill a tunnel sevenmiles long in one day. I was involved in building an addition to the deepunderground military base at Dulce, which is probably the deepest base. Itgoes down seven levels and over 2.5 miles deep. I helped hollow out more

than 13 deep underground military bases in the United States.

From Dr Bill Deagle'sDecember 2006 Granada Forum Lecture:

I took care of John Fialla, who was best friends with Phil Schneider. Howmany people know about Phil Schneider? Well, they were using tunneling

machines back in the mid-90s that could tunnel through a rock face at sevenmiles per day, that could cut through a rock face with high-energy impactlasers that could blow the nano-sized particles of rock so that there was nodebris left, forming an obsidian-like core, and laying an inner core forunidirectional maglev trains that travel at Mach 2 to 2.8 undergroundbetween these very very powerful and organized cities.

There's 132 under the United States, an average of 5.36 to 7.24 cubic milesin size at an average of 1.5 to 4.5 miles underground, built, by and large,most of them in areas away from geotectonic areas - but there's going to belots of new geotectonic faults established when you have force 11, 12, 13,

14 earthquakes hit the Earth.

Why are they rushing to do this? Because they know that catastrophe iscoming. And where's this money coming from? It's not coming from ourregular Black Op budget. It's coming from the illegal sale of drugs. In theUnited States there's at least, by conservative estimates, a quarter of atrillion to a half a trillion of illegal drugs just sold in the United States thatgoes directly into underground budgets, and 90-95% goes to the DUMBs[Deep Underground Military Bases].

The following was written by Richard Sauder, PhD, adapted from his

bookUnderground Bases and Tunnels:

The nuclear subterrene (rhymes with 'submarine') was designed at the LosAlamos National Laboratory, in New Mexico. A number of patents were filedby scientists at Los Alamos, a few federal technical documents were written -and then the whole thing just sort of faded away.

Or did it?

Nuclear subterrenes work by melting their way through the rock and soil,actually vitrifying it as they go, and leaving a neat, solidly glass-lined tunnelbehind them.

The heat is supplied by a compact nuclear reactor that circulates liquid

lithium from the reactor core to the tunnel face, where it melts the rock. Inthe process of melting the rock the lithium loses some of its heat. It is thencirculated back along the exterior of the tunneling machine to help cool thevitrified rock as the tunneling machine forces its way forward. The cooledlithium then circulates back to the reactor where the whole cycle starts over.

In this way the nuclear subterrene slices through the rock like a nuclearpowered, 2,000 degree Fahrenheit (1,100 Celsius) earthworm, boring itsway deep underground.

The United States Atomic Energy Commission and the United States EnergyResearch and Development Administration took out Patents in the 1970s fornuclear subterrenes. The first patent, in 1972 went to the U.S. AtomicEnergy Commission.

The nuclear subterrene has an advantage over mechanical TBMs in that itproduces no muck that must be disposed of by conveyors, trains, trucks,etc. This greatly simplifies tunneling. If nuclear subterrenes actually exist(and I do not know if they do) their presence, and the tunnels they make,could be very hard to detect, for the simple reason that there would not bethe tell-tale muck piles or tailings dumps that are associated with theconventional tunneling activities.

The 1972 patent makes this clear. It states:

"... (D)ebris may bedisposed of as melted rock

both as a lining for the holeand as a dispersal in cracksproduced in the surroundingrock. The rock-melting drillis of a shape and ispropelled under sufficientpressure to produce andextend cracks in solid rockradially around the bore bymeans of hydrostaticpressure developed in themolten rock ahead of theadvancing rock drillpenetrator. All melt not usedin glass-lining the bore isforced into the cracks whereit freezes and remains ...

"... Such a (vitreous) liningeliminates, in most cases,the expensive andcumbersome problem ofdebris elimination and at the

same time achieves theadvantage of a casing typeof bore hole liner."(U.S. Patent No. 3,693,731dated Sept. 26, 1972)

There you have it: a tunneling machinethat creates no muck, and leaves asmooth, vitreous (glassy) tunnel liningbehind.

Another patent three years later wasfor:

A tunneling machine forproducing large tunnels insoft rock or wet, clayey,unconsolidated or boulderyearth by simultaneouslydetaching the tunnel core bythermal melting a boundarykerf into the tunnel face andforming a supportingexcavation wall liner bydeflecting the moltenmaterials against theexcavation walls to provide,when solidified, a continuouswall supporting liner, anddetaching the tunnel facecircumscribed by the kerfwith powered mechanicalearth detachment means

and in which the heatrequired for melting the kerfand liner material isprovided by a compactnuclear reactor.

This 1975 patent further specifies thatthe machine is intended to excavate

tunnels up to 12 meters in diameter ormore. This means tunnels of 40 ft. ormore in diameter. The kerf is theoutside boundary of the tunnel wall thata boring machine gouges out as it bores

through the ground or rock. So, inordinary English, this machine will melta circular boundary into the tunnel face.The melted rock will be forced to theoutside of the tunnel by the tunnelmachine, where it will form a hard,glassy tunnel lining (see the appropriatedetail in the patent itself, as shown inIllustration 41). At the same time,mechanical tunnel boring equipment willgrind up the rock and soil detached bythe melted kerf and pass it to the rearof the machine for disposal by conveyor,slurry pipeline, etc.

And yet a third patent was issued to theUnited States Energy Research andDevelopment Administration just 21days later, on 27 May 1975 for amachine remarkably similar to themachine patented on 6 May 1975. The

abstract describes:A tunneling machine forproducing large tunnels inrock by progressivedetachment of the tunnelcore by thermal melting aboundary kerf into thetunnel face andsimultaneously forming aninitial tunnel wall support by

deflecting the moltenmaterials against the tunnelwalls to provide, whensolidified, a continuous liner;and fragmenting the tunnelcore circumscribed by the

kerf by thermal stressfracturing and in which the

heat required for suchoperations is supplied by acompact nuclear reactor.

This machine would also be capable ofmaking a glass-lined tunnel of 40 ft. indiameter or more.

Perhaps some of my readers have heardthe same rumors that I have heardswirling in the UFO literature and on theUFO grapevine: stories of deep, secret,glass-walled tunnels excavated by laserpowered tunneling machines. I do notknow if these stories are true. If theyare, however, it may be that the glass-

walled tunnels are made by the nuclearsubterrenes described in these patents.The careful reader will note that all ofthese patents were obtained byagencies of the United Statesgovernment. Further, all but one of theinventors are from Los Alamos, NewMexico. Of course, Los Alamos NationalLab is itself the subject of considerablerumors about underground tunnels andchambers, Little Greys or "EBEs", andvarious other covert goings-on.

A 1973 Los Alamos study entitledSystems and Cost Analysis for a Nuclear

Subterrene Tunneling Machine: A

Preliminary Study, concluded thatnuclear subterrene tunneling machines(NSTMs) would be very cost effective,compared to conventional TBMs.It stated:

Tunneling costs for NSTMsare very close to those forTBMs, if operating conditionsfor TBMs are favorable.However, for variableformations and unfavorableconditions such as soft, wet,bouldery ground or very

hard rock, the NSTMs are farmore effective. Estimates ofcost and percentage use ofNSTMs to satisfy U.S.transportation tunnel

demands indicate a potentialcost savings of 850 milliondollars (1969 dollars)throughout 1990. Anestimated NSTM prototypedemonstration cost of $100million over an eight-yearperiod results in a favorablebenefit-to-cost ratio of 8.5.

...Was the 1973 feasibility study only

idle speculation, and is the astonishinglysimilar patent two years later only a wildcoincidence? As many a frustratedinventor will tell you, the U.S. PatentOffice only issues the paperwork whenit's satisfied that the thing in questionactually works!

In 1975 the National Science Foundationcommissioned another cost analysis ofthe nuclear subterrene. TheA.A.Mathews Construction and Engineering

Companyof Rockville, Marylandproduced a comprehensive report withtwo, separate, lengthy appendices, one235 and the other 328 pages.

Comparing the cost of using NSTMs tothe cost of mechanical TBMs, A.A.Mathews determined:

Savings of 12 percent forthe 4.73 meter (15.5 ft.)tunnel and 6 percent for the6.25 meter (20.5 foot)tunnel were found to bepossible using the NSTM ascompared to currentmethods. A penalty of 30


13/14

percent was found for the3.05 meter (10 foot) tunnelusing the NSTM. The costadvantage for the NSTMresults from the combination

of,

(a) a capitalrather than laborintensivesystem,(b) formation ofboth initialsupport and finallining inconjunction withthe excavationprocess.

This report has a number of interestingfeatures. It is noteworthy in the firstplace that the governmentcommissioned such a lengthy anddetailed analysis of the cost of operatinga nuclear subterrenes. Just as intriguingis the fact that the study found that thetunnels in the 15 ft. to 20 ft. diameterrange can be more economicallyexcavated by NSTMs than byconventional TBMs.

Finally, the southern California locationthat was chosen for tunneling costanalysis is thought provoking. This isprecisely one of the regions of the Westwhere there is rumored to be a secrettunnel system. Did the A.A. Mathewsstudy represent part of the planning for

an actual covert tunneling project thatwas subsequently carried out, when itwas determined that it was more costeffective to use NSTMs than mechanicalTBMs?

Whether or not nuclear subterrenetunneling machines have been used, or


14/14

are being used, for subterraneantunneling is a question I cannotpresently answer.
