Just Published Book- Inside Manzano: The life of A Nuclear Special Weapons Storage Site

[charles cabler]

  In 1946 the U.S. DoD built a nuclear special weapons storage site in the Manzano Mountains of Albuquerque, New Mexico. For more than 20 years, Manzano served as a maintenance and storage site for some of the most destructive weapons ever created. This book tells part of the story of Manzano and shares experiences of many of the personnel who were stationed there including: nuclear weapons accidents, aircraft crashes, UFO/UAP sightings, almost shooting down a US helicopter to protect a nuclear weapon, and a radiation demonstration called “tickling the tiger’s tail.” Manzano fulfilled its mission from 1950 until 1971 when it was merged into Kirtland AFB, and in 1992, it was decommissioned and rendered “abandoned in place.” The book closes with a chapter about “what’s going on behind those security fences today?” The book is available through Amazon Books, B&N, BAM and Google Play.
