jfko6 and Steph, have you guys ever gone to check out cold war sites in the areas where you live, such as former AT&T comms bunkers or abandoned USAF sites? There are several places around where I live that are full of cold war history; an Air Force command post bunker that's now a college records s...

I recently watched the movie "Dead Birds" although it took place during the civil war, nothing about it was remotely accurate.

Hey Steph1997 I'm not sure how much interest there is on the subject, but I just finished reading a rather interesting book by Annie Jacobsen called "Phenomena" which details the history of the government's research in ESP and psychokinesis during the cold war, including military applications.

Thank you Flange.

My apologies Flange, I did not mean to imply that your post was in the wrong topic, but that mine was. I sometimes tend to wander with my posts.
