History
The Titan I missile system was active for a short period of time from 1961 to 1965. Built
by engineers who apparently had no regard for the taxpayers' dime, these sites were the
largest of all U.S. missile bases. Mention has been made by unconfirmed sources that these
bases were capable of housing 150 people for 30 days.
Land
Typically 40 to 60 acres. Several roadways lead to various locations on the site.
Originally surrounded by high barbed wire topped chain link security fence.
Power Dome
Two stories with second story being an open mezzanine. 130 feet in diameter on lower
story.
Control Dome
Two stories. 100 feet in diameter on lower story.
Entry Portal
65 feet deep. 40 feet in diameter. Large utility elevator with surrounding stairs.
Silo Areas
The three silo areas each consist of three basic structures. One silo itself. 160 feet
deep with surface access. Two equipment terminals. 60 feet in diameter. 40 feet high.
Three propellant terminals. 37 feet in diameter. 37 feet high. Each of the three silo
areas can be sequestered from the rest of the complex with heavy blast proof doors.
Antenna Silos
Originally held round radar antenna. 67 feet deep. 27 feet in diameter.
Tunnel System
Extensive tunnel system with thousands of feet of various tunnels ranging from small
diameter ducts to 15 foot diameter causeway. Most personnel tunnels are 40 feet below
ground level.
Possible Uses
Storage of valuable items, archives. Ultra secure industrial storage, either solid or
liquid. The ultimate home, the utmost in security, your own underground city.
Speculation on the sites themselves. Limited supply/duplication cost in the high tens or
hundreds of millions.
Note:
The size of thses sites cannot be described in words or even properly illustrated by
photos. Engineering on the scale of the pyramids. Floorplans and Images (Click here)
