Secret facility under NC’s Sugarloaf Mountain

There is a secret underground facility just west of Chimney Rock State Park in North Carolina. Its entrance is at the top of Sugarloaf Mountain and inaccessible to the public.

As early as 1969, an eyewitness living near the mountaintop knew something unusual was happening there.

“It was night and there were helicopters flying up at the top of the mountain,” Rebecca told me. “They would hover over the mountaintop and drop earthmoving equipment.  They had floodlights up there and worked all night long.  The shape of the mountaintop changed overnight.

“The next morning, my husband and I hiked up to the site. It was like walking on a fresh grave.  It was like they’d dug something up, took it out, put something else in and covered it up.  I don’t have a clue what it was.  It was covered with sod.”

ABOUT FIVE YEARS LATER, the mountain trembled beneath Rebecca’s home.

“There was something huge on the trailer that was covered with a tarp,” she said. “They all went up the mountain and stayed up there all day.  Late that afternoon, the three vehicles went back down the mountain with something on the trailer covered with a tarp.  I was under the assumption they’d replaced whatever had blown up.”

Expansion of Sugarloaf Mountain’s secret facility

I had arranged a meeting with Rebecca, a woman who lived near the facility.  She told me about the first events that made it clear something was being constructed beneath the mountain (see previous posting).  But she had so much more to share.

“Back in the sixties,” she told me, “there was a vehicle that would come up every morning with three people in it.  The same vehicle would leave that night with three different people in it.  They seemed to do three day shifts at the top of the mountain.”

Rebecca is both curious and brave.  She once jumped the fenced barricade to the facility and hiked 30 minutes to the actual entrance.

“There are a number of structures up there,” she said.  “I once managed to peak into one.   I could see tire tracks go into a wall, so obviously something happened there – maybe an elevator behind the wall.”

Three years later in 2013

Three years later in 2013, I interviewed three eyewitnesses who told me things had drastically changed on the mountain since I was there.

KAREN: “Since 2010, the narrow gravel road has been transformed.  It’s now nicely graded and wider.  I mean they’ve been keeping it pristine – and for just a few houses which is strange.”

“Late last summer (2012) I was driving up there, and saw a convoy of electrical trucks. . . There were a total of 20 trucks along a road that serves only eight houses at the top of the mountain. That wasn’t all. There were black unmarked Suburban SUVs and a couple of Blackhawk helicopters, so it was obvious that something unusual was going on. . . 

“The electrical lines that were being installed last summer are so huge that you’d expect a giant sports stadium at the end of them.  Each concrete pole is about 5-6 feet in diameter; the lines are about ten inches thick; and there were multiple lines, not just one.”

The next witness was with his business partner who confirmed everything Joe told me.

“Now the men with the trucks were not your typical power company guys. They were well built like Marines or Navy Seals. 

“One big guy stopped me and asked where I was going, why, and how long I was going to be there.  I thought ‘Why is a power company guy asking those questions?’  So, I answered his first two questions and then just drove on.  Surprisingly, I wasn’t stopped but I felt an electrical force field as I proceeded and I know I was closely watched.

“I’ve been back up to the mountain several times since January 2013 and every time I’ve seen the same four-seat Cessna Skyhawk airplane flying around the mountain.   I can’t recall the letters, but the number 1157 is on the side of the plane. 

“What gets really weird is that I’ve seen the same plane with the same number over my house, the office and a friend’s house.  I just feel like I’m being watched ever since I started the cleaning job on Sugarloaf Mountain. . .

“That’s not the only thing that’s weird. My business partner and I have seen crows and animals that don’t appear real.  When you look at them, you don’t feel like you’re looking at a living thing.  It feels like they’re robots used to patrol the area.

Chilling words of a whistleblower
By Mary Joyce, website editor

Most people sit comfortably at their computers when they watch or listen to whistleblower  testimonies and give little thought to the dangers those truthtellers often encounter.

Below are chilling words of a whistleblower I interviewed when I was investigating secret underground facilities in the North Carolina Mountains.  I share his testimony as a tribute to all those who bravely put themselves in jeopardy so regular citizens can learn truths that are being hidden from them. 

I always refer to this whistleblower as “Hawk.”  When he was doing undercover surveillance around one of North Carolina’s underground facilities, a man threatened him with these words: “Be careful what you say.  Be careful what you tell people.” That was followed by a much more ominous threat.

NOTE:  Hawk’s complete testimony is in my book “Underground Military Bases Hidden in North Carolina Mountains.”

Exposing secret underground bases can be deadly
By Mary Joyce, website editor

Several whistleblowers were threatened, sometimes with death, if they talked to me or anyone else about the underground bases in North Carolina. Yet, each one felt the public needed to know what they knew.

Here is a chilling example of a threat directed at a man I call “Hawk” who provided me with information about a secret facility beneath Mount Mitchell in North Carolina as well as some of the unusual activities around that mountain.

“Be careful what you say.  Be careful what you tell people” Hawk was told. That was followed by a much more ominous threat.

Hawk’s information and that of other courageous whistleblowers are included in my book “Underground Bases Hidden in North Carolina Mountains.” In each case, special steps were taken to protect the whistleblowers. If this is a subject that interests you, the book is available on Amazon.

Bob Lazar and Bill Pawelec

Reverse-engineering of alien craft revealed by two men
By Mary Joyce, website editor

Most people reading this post know about Bob Lazar.  He’s the man the U.S. military recruited to do reverse-engineering on an alien spacecraft that was housed at Area 51. Before he turned whistleblower, the general public didn’t know about Area 51 or that the U.S. military had an alien craft in its possession.

Well, Bob Lazar is not the only one who saw such a craft. Bill Pawelec saw the same style craft being reverse-engineered at a second secret location – Tonapah Test Range in Area 52.

Pawelec was only able to observe this because of his professional background as a security consultant for alphabet soup organizations like the CIA, FBI and NSA.  He also had worked on security systems for Air Force One, Area 51 and U.S. embassies around the world.

Years after Pawelec’s untimely death in 2007, his wife, Annie DeRiso, decided to reveal that her husband had seen an alien craft at Area 52.  Here is what she told me:

“Even though Bill had seen a craft in the skies, what he saw in the secret facility beneath the Tonopah Test Range in Nevada left no doubt in his mind that beings from other worlds are here on Earth.

“Because of his profession, Bill knew all the buzz words to get someone's attention which often led higher ranking individuals to tell him secrets above his clearance level. During one of those conversations, he was taken to a building at Tonapah where a large section of the floor is actually an elevator that goes down many floors.  I don't remember how far down they went, but Bill was taken to an area where they were reverse engineering a typical saucer shaped alien craft.

“The craft Bill saw being worked on was later made into a plastic model by the Testors model kit company (shown above).  It is commonly known as ‘The Sport Model’ and is based on Bob Lazar’s description.  Lazar worked on his craft at Area 51 but Bill saw his craft at Tonapah.”
