are specifically those that monitor secret information? What exactly do> Regarding the claim that one major monitoring hub is code named "elizabeth" in Boulder Colorado. There is a government standards agency there, if I am not mistaken, I forget if it is NIST (?). Also, the National Center for Oceanic Research, which has very tremendous computing power (e.g. Cray YMP) is there also. In their tours they show massive archival storage areas, which they say record major amounts of global atmospheric data (e.g. temperatures, wind currents etc.) collected from satellites. These could conceivably be in part "covers" but the idea is also rather unimaginable. Can anybody report on agencies in the areas cited? There is the very specific claim of a carrier in Columbus Ohio.

Well to add more paranoid fuel to the fire, it is no secret that there is a lot of "intelligence" activity around the boulder/colorodo springs area. But I don't think this alone is enough to prop up or refute this claim. The most damageing part of the story IMHO is the line about the 9 track tapes going :) Get real! Now Banks of Hi-8 maybe ...
