Highly classified information
about secret facility beneath Balsam Mountains

I must remain anonymous, though I have adequately presented myself to an individual who is known to your website and can vouch for my truthfulness. I have an awareness, due to the nature of my work and associations, of highly classified and on-going government/military projects and capabilities.

I can confirm the truthfulness of information in a recent article on your website about a secret underground facility beneath the Balsam Mountains of Western North Carolina.

The entrance to the facility is hidden beneath the benign looking Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute known as PARI. You might say it’s hidden in plain sight because surface equipment and buildings are available to astronomy students and researcher specialists. The underground facility is at least city-sized and has supporting infrastructure (water, electricity, roads, etc.). However, the facility is in a remote area and well guarded. Outsiders only are welcome by appointment or by special invitation.

What has and is going on beneath PARI is highly classified (and possibly only part of a large network of such capabilities) and otherwise known as black project(s).

I am providing this information in a very circuitous fashion for my own protection. Yet, I wish to help shine light on the top secret activity in, around and under the mountains of Western North Carolina.

“The first time I heard the sounds was when I was staying with my daughter in Atlanta in August 2001,” he says. “They had a new lakefront home about 10 miles southeast of Kennesaw Park on Atlanta’s north side.

“When we went down to the basement, we could hear this faint moaning,” he explains. “One time we were kind of joking around about it and I put my ear up to one of the structural posts. Well, I could hear all kinds of garbage coming from deep below the house. I could hear people talking. I couldn’t make out what they were saying, but I could hear the mumble jumble. I also could hear something that sounded like equipment or machinery running. I heard it the three or four nights I was there. Anytime we went down there, we could hear something going on.”

About eight years later, Rednour discovered the Sky Ships over Cashiers website and read about a purported secret underground facility beneath Atlanta. CLICK HERE to read about that facility.

“I have to agree that there’s something deep under the ground there,” he says, “because I was there and I’ve heard the sounds.”

Similar sounds on the Blue Ridge Parkway

Then in the summer of 2010, Rednour discovered similar sounds coming from the ground on the Blue Ridge Parkway during one of his midnight drives in the North Carolina Mountains.

“I had stopped at the parking area for Devil’s Courthouse rock formation,” he says. “It’s at the big elbow bend on the Balsam Ridge.”

Devil’s Courthouse also is the closest point on the Blue Ridge Parkway to the Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute (PARI) which is regarded as the capstone cover for another secret underground facility.

“On the north side of the roadway from where you park your car,” Rednour continues, “there’s a big huge rock. The whole hill is a rock. Well, I put my ear up to that rock and by golly I could faintly hear something going on down below. I could hear mechanical grinding sounds that were similar to what I heard years before in Atlanta.

“After hearing these sounds in two locations and doing lots of research with my computer, I believe that the government, or some agency, or whatever is cutting tunnels to connect cities.”

A large whited out area on Google Maps got our attention, especially since we found it just north of a secret underground entrance revealed on this website in July 2010. Click here to read about that site.

With curiosity leading the way, we drove to Asheville, NC in late November 2010, turned south on Alternate 74, left on Old Fort Road and then north on Flat Top Mountain Road. The last seven miles wound through sparsely populated land near the Fairview community, but the last three miles were steep, knotted in hairpin curves and subtly adorned with surveillance cameras.

When we ran out of road, we were confronted by a gate, a no trespassing sign, another surveillance camera in the trees and two large barking dogs. We could go no further. After snapping a few photos, we headed back down the mountain where we got into a conversation with a woman who has lived at the base of the mountain all her life. She said it had been about 15 years since she’d been to the lake at the top of the mountain and was surprised to learn public access no longer was allowed.

Later, a former law enforcement officer called the telephone number on the no trespassing sign. He tried four times. Each time the phone rang nine times before a recorded message in a female voice came on requesting that a message be left. As of this writing, there have been no replies to the phone number that was provided. The former officer speculated that there might be a filtering device or even a tracking device on that phone line.

Two from the website

So when Google Maps revealed a hexagon mound in a remote area of the Pisgah National Forest south of Burnsville, NC and northwest of Mt. Mitchell, we decided to check it out. After pinpointing it on a map, we drove to Burnsville, went south on highway 197 and then turned on E. Wart Wilson Road which is the only road that comes close to the hexagon.

When that road officially ended and faded into a forest trail, we wanted to continue. We wanted to see the hexagon mound and discover if there was anything beneath the circle of trees at its summit, but we were stopped by official no trespassing signs nailed to the trees. The signs stopped us in our tracks but made us wonder even more why a lone hexagon mound in a national forest is off limits.

While I was reading the Secret Facilities section of Sky Ships over Cashiers website, I saw the photo under the heading “One way to hide a secret facility.”

I believe that what's under the covering - at the right side and appearing to be a slanted flat structure - is what's called a phased-array radar antenna. If you Google “phased array radar” and look at picture results, you can see the resemblance. These antennas are generally squarish and the big ones reach long distances. These kinds of radars are usually used for military defense purposes.

I used to work at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, in the Radar Instrument Development Group.

EDITOR’S NOTE: We received this testimony on June 4, 2010 from Gil Webb who once lived in the mountains not far from the Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute (PARI). His testimony seems to support Eljay’s testimony that there is some kind of laboratory at the underground facility. Her testimony, titled “Contactee breaks lifelong silence,” can be found in Sky Ship Articles.

As a young man in the early 1980s, I worked for a month or so at Russell Butell’s Christmas tree farm which is near the Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute (PARI). At that time, PARI was known as the Rosman Tracking Station. While at the tree farm, one of the workers told me local residents had seen deep pits being dug at the tracking station as well as animals in cages. I took what he said with a grain of salt back then. This kind of activity appears to have started in the late 1970s or early 1980s.

PUZZLE PIECE ONE - I haven’t seen the man in about six years, but he used to periodically come to where I work. Over time, he opened up about his military experiences in Vietnam and later talked about doing deep underground tunneling work in various places.

In bits and pieces he told me a secret underground facility had been created beneath Atlanta with huge tunnel boring machines. . . read full story in "Articles" section of this website

Dr. J. Allen Hynek and the Carolina lab

EDITOR’S NOTE: The following comes from Ann Eller who was a personal assistant to Dr. J. Allen Hynek, the grandfather of UFO/alien research in the United States. You can read about her experiences and the information she gathered while working for Dr. Hynek in her new book Dragon in the Sky – Prophecy from the Stars which was published in December 2009 by AuthorHouse.
