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.
