Denial →← Training exercise? Nash doesn't think so.

I wrote a letter to Nash telling him I had information that might help with his investigation. I’m guessing he gets at least a hundred tips a day, though, so I’m not sure I expect to hear back from him.

Didn’t know what else to do, so I did some searching on military operations in Utah after seeing Nash’s interview. None of their current missions seem out of the ordinary, and there’s no mention of a chemical incident.

It seems like most of their operations are federal, based in Iraq or Afghanistan. Though what’s interesting is…last October they underwent a training exercise with the health department for handling a “large-scale flu pandemic” near Montezuma Creek. But as far as I can tell, that didn’t involve positioning a lot of armed troops outside a low population town in the middle of nowhere.

The only other report in Utah that I found involved three Apache helicopters doing a fly-over during a college football game last fall.

What I can’t figure out is why the government would have them surround Piedmont under false pretenses. It doesn’t make any sense.

Comments on “Utah Military?”

  1. That is really odd what is going on in your home town. I was in the Marines and we did training exercises and to my knowledge no one in the areas where we were training was cut off from the real world. As matter of fact i remember one time when we were doing a training exercise a snack truck pulled right up to where we were and started selling food and drinks. I don’t know what to tell you but it sure seems odd that the town and it’s inhabitants are quarantined (for lack of a better word). I hope you hear from your family soon

  2. I don’t believe in coincidences and I’m not trying to jump to conclusions, but I was following a story about a spy satellite that was supposed to fall to Earth sometime in February or March. It was big news, but then nothing. I can’t even find out where it landed. Anyway, during this timeframe, a friend of mine, Rich, was camping in Utah with some college friends and they stated that they saw an UFO. I didn’t take him seriously because of the amount of alcohol consumption that takes place at their campouts. What does this have to do with this? They now say that they didn’t see anything. You ask them about it and they either deny seeing it or they laugh it off. I can’t explain the look in his face when I told him about what is going on in Piedmont, UT. It’s like he has seen a ghost.

    Keep us posted.

  3. Everyone is giving good advice. Remember if you must go (And I would assume that regardless of what everyone is warning, you will. It’s your family afterall.) that you make sure to prepare yourself. Water and rations are going to be very important. In the event that it is some type of contamination, you won’t be able to, or at least its not wise to consume any food or water that you might find in the area. One thing people haven’t mentioned would be some type of mask or air filtration protection. Even if it isn’t some type of virus or whatnot, who is to say the military aren’t experimenting in the area. Plus if you go into the mineshafts, airborn dust will make it difficult to breathe. Whatever you decide to do… BE CAREFUL. If the military are trying to cover up something major happening in Piedmont, it will be like swatting a fly to make you disappear as well.

  4. Wow, man. Sorry for your misfortune. Obviously this has alien written all over it. I’ve been waiting for something like this to happen to bring some attention to the fact that aliens are invading our planet. I personally was abducted 19 months ago and no one believes me. I hope now people will see that we are all going to be slaves to a new and terrifying race of otherworldly creatures. Good luck, but i don’t think luck will help.

  5. Andrew,

    Keep checking the viral news… SOMEONE is alive in that town, whether it be a resident or a soldier brave enough to report the truth. Try to contact someone with a plane or helicopter and see if they can’t get an aerial of the area.

    Good luck…

  6. Andrew, I’m callin zombies on this one. I’ve been waiting for this to happen for a long time. I always new they were real and the possibility of something like what happens in the movies would happen in real life. I’m well armed and have been preparing for this for some time. If you want me to go with you and kick some zombie but let me know. I’ve been dying to try out my AZV (anti-zombie vehicle).

  7. First of all, my prayers are with your family and the citizens of Piedmont. I hope you find the answers you are looking for. I live on the Texas-Mexico border so its no surprise that the govt is hiding something. Lately there have been “strange” sightings all over Tx. I thought this might just be a local thing but then I saw news about other “sightings” in multiple states; then I saw the comercial and discovered this. I dont know whats going on but there’s no doubt in my mind that SOMETHING IS HAPPENING. Good luck

  8. I was listening to the sound-clip thing and the noise in the backround sounds like a table rattling, then a struggle. Something must be up with the mother, or something like her came at the sister, causing the commotion with the table.

  9. look if there are still mining tunnels or whatever there and this gov. related then they would have them blocked off because when the military plans they leave no screw ups

  10. Pookie is right get a lawyer the FBI or any agency who has a care for the “small” man. If your family is in some kind of quarentine they have to atleast let you know if they are even “in” the town they are protecting so badly. Anyways I wish you much luck on your operation here keep us posted and most of all stay safe.

  11. Contacting Nash was a good plan. He’s around the soldiers posted in the area, so maybe he’ll hear some bit of gossip or hear-say that’s got more truth than what the military is revealing.

    Like Serenity said, whatever you do, don’t try to get past the blockade, chances are they’ve been ordered to shoot first and identify later. Whatever is going on in Piedmont, they’re going to be treating the region like it’s a hostile conflict zone. The last thing that will help your sister is for you to end up dead.

    Stay safe, and keep us in the know.

  12. I was wondering–what were the people of Piedmont mining or are still mining? I found information saying that uranium deposits in Utah, Colorado and other southwestern states are being reopened due to the rise in demand for uranium. If Piedmont was a uranium-mining town, perhaps this has something to do with the going’s on?

  13. I’ve been following these past events and it seems extremely coincidental that you should lose contact with your hometown only to find military is involved. It’s just suspicious.

    But, anyway, hope for the best but expect the worst. Best of luck.

  14. Hi Andrew,
    Writing to Mr Nash is a good idea, but don’t stop there. E-mail him also. Be sure to hint at the context of your letter, such as “I’m from Piedmont”. I am sure he gets hundreds of letters a week but if he has an assistant or two worth anything they will call his attention to yours. I wouldn’t worry about his mail being searched by the government, he is a reporter, not an official. Butcha and I seem to be on the same track about the military surplus stores, you will be amazed at what you can find in them.
    I can tell you Andrew, I live in a part of the country that has been experiencing strange happenings for many years. I have heard of, read about, even thought I saw many peculiar things living in the northern part of Maine as I do. Don’t take this occurance lightly. Something DID happen and it aint nice.
    Good Luck and take care
    BJ

  15. Andrew, if you make it to Piedmont and get the “scoop” be sure to post it. The major news networks may not be covering this out of fear, but in the age of the Interweb this story will spread like wildfire. When I first mentioned this to my friends last week nobody had even heard of Piedmont (except one guy who thought it was in Arizona or New Mexico), a but now it seems to be spreading pretty quickly.

    I read recently that this years flu shots didn’t really protect against this years flu and that there were some cases of Bird Flu in Canada. I can’t help but wonder if something likethat is happening.

  16. hey best of luck to hope u find ur sis

  17. There is only 1 way into that town and you said it your self piedmont use to be a mining town, the only way to get into town is not by going through by road or above by plane. You must go under use the underground mine shafts.

    mcpeek on April 22nd, 2008 at 4:07 pm
  18. Glad you’re being active about it. Contacting Nash was probably a good idea.
