[/quote] Not too odd, being so close to the border. Here in Northern Illinois there is a high school that was built on an old Nike Missile base. Yes Nike, the same as the shoe company. The purpose of these missiles was to intercept USSR bombers coming over the north pole. [/quote] No where NEAR the border. [/quote]
Original Message
These 3 pictures show a warning sign stating that the area is US Air Force property. It also shows a mobile satellite truck and a missile battery with 3 rockets mounted. A coworker took these pics south of Lubbock near Lake Alan Henry while returning from a family trip. Anyone who knows this area knows that it is very remote, with very little in the way of civilization. The site in question is just west of US Hwy 84 off of FM 1269, near the very small community of Fluvanna. Can anyone identify what this particular satellite truck is and what type of rockets these are? And why the hell are these in west Texas?!
