You can tell people what it was and why, but they won't believe you (it's on Wikipedia.) The best local-generated idea I heard was that it was a submarine refueling facility; the subs would presumably transit underground, hundreds of miles, to surface inside the dome, their fission cores kept hidden from the prying eyes of enemy satellites.

As a minor, I attended high school at RAF Menwith Hill, North Yorkshire, UK. The place looked mysterious (it had a bunch of geodesic satellite radomes)and that spawned an excess of strange conspiracy theories regarding the site. My favorite was that Menwith Hill was a secret submarine base with underground channels (just like your post). My other favorites are the following:

-The US was breeding killer bees in the satellite radomes
-The US was intentionally spreading cancer to northern England (this was a very popular belief... the lead singer of Chumbawamba began organizing annual Greenpeace protests there because he blamed Menwith Hill for giving his son cancer)
-The US was pretty much just hanging out with aliens there (of course)
-The US was enacting a sinister plot to change the weather patterns in northern England (the people who believed this had blogs which claimed that the region was always sunny and beautiful until the US Government got involved and just wanted to use their magic to make everything rainy)
-The US is trying to just straight-up kill people in North Yorkshire (for no reason, no evidence)

There was/are many equally crazy theories regarding how the US government is trying to gently caress with random people in northern England.

Dutch civilian goon here. I live a few km away from the Cannerberg NATO base/limestone quarry. This place was also a large source of stupid myths.

-Nazi Germany stuffed the quarry full of wunderwaffen that NATO was waiting to spring on invading Soviets.
-Same thing but NATO was planning to turn the Low Countries into a wasteland with them for "classified experiments". That plan can be prevented by signing this here petition addressed to the Pentagon...
-As above but with US built bioweapons. Symptoms include cough, runny nose, nasal congestion and a sore throat, contact our action committee immediately if you feel you have been poisoned.
-ICBM Silos aimed at... Maastricht. Area denial weapon, you see.
-It was a nuclear missile resupply base for boomer submarine secretly travelling through the nearby canals.
-My personal favourite: It was a secret submarine pen for captured Soviet boomers, which were smuggled in through the nearby canals.

Fun fact: A captured Typhoon, if buried into the hill where the quarry is, would stick out at both ends and at the conning tower.

A retired colonel with 30 years service, who receives a yearly pension of 40k and worked as defence contractor for 5 years afterwards is homeless and living in his van.

I get that a lot of vets get boned from government and society both, but it's hard to muster tears for the poor O-6.

Vvvv no doubt he saw some poo poo as an int dude but compared to what most vets have to fall back on he's doing less with more for sure

I feel bad in that mentally he seems broken, and should seek help for that. But still, holy poo poo.

Edit: what I'm curious about most is how somebody in his position didn't make some networking connections along the way like most seem to do. Is there really nobody else he can call for work other than a janitor?

All USAF O-6+'s should be forced in to homelessness and castrated to prevent them from spreading their terrible ways elsewhere. Society is usually a tremendous gently caress up but I think it knocked it out of the park on this one.

Well guys if you read the article you will find out he is paying for his kids college and bills he racked up while living the high-life as an O-6.

One would think that someone who can get multiple degrees could plan a little bit ahead on things like that when they know they are going to retire.

edit : also I bet he is giving his wife a bunch of loving alimony.

He is getting 78k/yr pre-tax, 56k/yr post tax. Figure his first wife is getting a big chuck of that, depending on how long they were married. He actually probably gets more since he joined before 1980.

See this poo poo all the time in the merchant marine. People take their $500k-$1.5kk buy out or a large pension and their life falls apart at retirement. All the things that kept them and their relationship in a "normal" state have disappeared. These are people with the skills and network to easily make six figures working a couple days a month after retiring at 50 but who are now struggling to find a place to live since they can't readjust or operate back in the real world. What Im saying is get in, get out, don't stick around long enough for your brain to get more hosed up than it already is.
