Report on Underground Facilities: 'Graham' the explosives expert

1966 ยท Smugglers Club, Hullbridge, Essex, Thundersley, South Benfleet, United Kingdom

Outside the region. Hind reprinted this case from elsewhere; it has a file here but no place on the map.

What was reported

Willsher, whose band The Marksmen played Fridays and Saturdays at the Smugglers Club at Hullbridge, recalls a summer night in 1966 or 1967 when neighbours Gerry and Paula brought along Graham, an ex-Army underground explosives expert just back from abroad and working part-time for Gerry's plant-hire firm. Graham said a multi-national organisation flew his team to coastal sites in Britain, France, Italy, Spain, Australia and the Far East to blast out vast areas inside fenced seaside bases, some of the future underground facilities running to several miles. Afterwards lorries removed rubble and Swedish, Dutch and German specialists in struts, brickwork and electronics moved in. He was never told the purpose and was advised not to ask. Willsher says the memory only resurfaced years later when reading about underground air force, army and possibly alien bases.

What Hind made of it

Printed as a contributor's report and footnoted by Hind as context for Jeff's remote-viewed underground laboratory in the Contact by Remote Control case.

In their words

  • He had not been told what these installations were and was advised not to ask, if he wanted to keep his job!!
