Second Visit...

Agent Orange and I planned a second visit to the old site we had previously visited. This time we came prepared with specialized cameras, lights and protective suits. The weather was over 100 F at 10am in the morning here in Texas. We knew we needed to move quickly or melt in the old building...

We parked our cars away from the site and started our walk toward the main building. along the way we ran across our first and morbid sign, something was just not right here.

I didn't want to touch the glove...err hand. It was fresh, smelled of blood and ran a chill down our spines... We quickly moved on.

Scaling a small rickety ladder, we scampered our way to the roof, only to find the next grizzly sight.

This poor bird was shredded by something. But by what?

Agent Orange starts to survey the area....we don't want any surprises!


We wanted to find an alternate entrance. Studying old plans, we believe there are roof access holes to the upper levels of the facility. These holes are electrically interconnected and needed a bit of hacking in a small panel shelter on the roof. Here's a shot Agent Orange rewiring an access port.

We find the port which opened...
It looks REALLY narrow, I'm not sure we can fit...



Agent Orange decides to go for it. We grab the protective suit and being the brave man I am, I vote he goes first so I can watch our back. He gives me a quick glance...well more of a dirty look and starts to slide face first into the hole...First his head, then his shoulders go in....he crawls a bit more, inching his way forward...Now all I can see are his shoes, then nothing but a scream! Oh my god he fell!
I'm yelling at him frantically. The fall was over 20 feet. He's just laying there motionless and I though for sure he had busted his neck...A few moments later he starts to squirm and look up at me...
With a big at grin, he waves at me and I cordially deliver a few choice words about safety and absolute seriousness of our mission. Whatever the heck that is!

With Ninja like reflexes I slip down the access port to find Agent Orange testing some wierd wall mounted body snatching device...

He said it was some sort of retaining devices for human experiments. As he walked away and I took a closer look, the label said something about automated lower rectal examination booth. Not sure what that means, but it sounds like it hurts.

We continue down the corridors, watching and listening for anything out of the ordinary. At the lower level we find a long open hallway with a large metal box at one end. We were both intrigued by the potential of the Pandora's box we just had to go in for a closer look.

I beckoned Agent Orange forward to open the box's large metal lid. He immediately waved a single, long finger at me. Which in elite explorer lingo means, screw you, you go first this time!

I inch my way closer, the box emanated some sort of electromagnetic distortion causing our camera LCD's to sparkle. Agent Orange sets up his camera, in preparation for whatever we may find in the old box.

Slowly I lift the lid....Each degree I open the lid, the more sweat pours down my forehead. A small light is slightly glistening from the inside. I open the box lid all the way and stand on the edge of it, to take a closer look at the light surrounded by the deep, bottomless darkness. All of a sudden BAM! I'm thrown back from the box and the lid slams shut!


I slam hard onto my back and scramble to my feet. Agent Orange grabs his gear and rolls to one side. The room starts to shake violently. Yelling at each other, we direct ourselves to the nearest ground floor exit -- smashing clean through a window!

Cut, bleeding, broken, nauseous, and terrified we ran and ran. We made it to the cars and jumped in. Starting our respective vehicles we both drove back south. I called agent Orange on the cell phone and asked what the heck was that! He saw it, tried to take the shot, but the camera failed..."What did you see dude?", I asked. A few choice words later from my phone's speaker told me whatever it was......we gotta go back to check it out!
