Mel's Hole:The Best Mystery I Ever Knew

<< < (2/3) > >>

Midnightblueowl:
I think that the US may not be the worst country for tyranny, as they do not commit super mass murder like Israel or Zimbabwe, but they do kill thousands abroad, and support and fund the killing of Palestinians. They also do do a lot of covert operations. And yes, Gnomes do rock...

Anyway :focus:

Maybe the government knows about something that is in the pit that they have been looking for? This is all sounding too familiar! oh wait, I remember - The X Files. That show really did depict things as they really are.

Shadowborn:
Ah, I can feel the skeptic in me struggling to get out and scream here...

First off, Mel's story about what happened to him sounds off-key to me for a few reasons.

1) The military? Which branch? Just saying "the military" means nothing. They could have been national guardsmen, in which case their orders would have come through the governor's office. In any event, he needs to start asking questions like what division they were, where are they based, and who was the CO in charge of the operation. Answers to those questions can lead to written records, which would be a big step in providing actual evidence that all this took place.

2) The military has no authority to arrest a civilian on criminal charges, except when martial law has been declared. There would have had to been civil authorities there (a county sheriff, most likely) in order to make an arrest.

3) Why is everyone having such a hard time finding his old property? How long did he live there? If he could phone friends and have them drive over without getting lost, why can't he simply give the same directions to others and have them go there and see this hole for themselves? Now I live in Washington State, and I realize that the area outside Ellensburg is pretty much the epitome of the sticks, but if there's a road, you can get to it...the "military" doesn't have brain-scrambling devices to get you lost and keep you from finding the area.  8-)

M Sidhe:
Shadowborn, I totally agree with you, and I want to know why the miltariy were so interested. Going to throw some Commies down the hole, use it as a secret weapon during the Cold War, aye? :lol:

Seriously though, what would the military do with a bottumless pit besides throw people down? :P

It could have been a very deep hole, I just remembered hearing the some wells were dug deeper than 800 some feet, thats deeper than Loch Ness! *shudders*

Shadowborn:
Exactly. The only reason I could see for someone to take an interest in this hole would be as a safety precaution. I know they have free range cattle in that area, and if the hole is big enough to dump a fridge down, it would be big enough for a cow to fall into. If he didn't have the land fenced, it could be a problem.

Then again, perhaps it's linked to the mysterious Russian holes in the other thread. The government was worried that Mel dumping all that crap down the hole would disturb the molemen and provoke a war.  *<:)

M Sidhe:
Do you mean the Russian Hell Hole, that is a fake.
linky

A moleman war breaking out in America would turn down our image... :P
