Jul 26, 2008 - My first school was a converted command and control Nike base. Cool.

BUNGLEJYME Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - That's a wonderful idea. Problem is, they're all corrupt.

BUNGLEJYME Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - I pass an old Nike base every day on my way to work. It's in Pitamn NJ. The command center is now occupied by a private school and the launch site is occupied by a construction company.

BUNGLEJYME Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - Is it legal to go onto the Stoney Point base? I won't get arrested or anything if I take a trip out there will I? Can you still go down into bunkers?

Breadcrummb Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - Umm, you won't get into trouble as long as you don't get caught. Thats all i can tell you... But it is fun in there.

Jul 26, 2008 - there's one across from the cemetery my grandparents are burried

yungmugz Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - I dont know where these guys are getting your info from but the abandond houses in Old Brigde,NJ on Jake Brown Rd at that old base haven't been empty that long. My aunt used to live in one of those houses when I was 10 or 11 and I'm 25 now. My cousins and I used go there every weekend. I even remember playing in the old playground as a kid. That place has only been empty about 13 years, man those guys will believe anything.

WeirdNJTV Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - That is NOT the Nike base on Jake Brown Road that you see in this video. You obviously assumed it was, but you were mistaken.

daberu3 Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - one of the biggest is in MAWHAH, NJ. Right across from a large cemetary and next to CAMPGAW COUNTY PARK.

Jul 26, 2008 - for anyone who knows or has seen the missle base in old bridge nj a crazy story has come out it was published in local papers friday morning apparently they found human remains that were burried in the ground a skull and some other bones are now being investigated by the old bridge local authorities so that means that some of the stories may have some truth to it although i didnt have to read that to know its a creepy place having lived in old bridge for 9 years i have visited several times

Jul 26, 2008 - the hook!

WeirdNJTV Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - Skull Found at Old Nike BaseMiddlesex County authorities were investigating the discovery of bones at the former Nike missile outpost off Jake Brown Road on Thursday. Police confirmed the discovery of a human skull in the woods near Route 9. Over 100 soldiers and 16 Nike Hercules missiles were on alert during the base's Cold War heyday. The Army closed the base in the early 1970s. Several ranch houses, once used to house military officers but abandoned and boarded up, dot the 41-acre parcel.

Jul 26, 2008 - I live in CT and all of the bases that I have been to are torn down except for the launch site in Glastonbury CT. The bunkers are still there but you can only look in. I wish more of thenm where kept up for history

usergently Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - Were where they on 9/11?

RYENZRO Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - I used to live near one in Erial / Sicklerville NJ 08081. The place was a lot of fun as a kid--as it was abandoned. There are still underground tunnels there.

skwigz21 Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - they have been decommissioned since the end of the cold war.

sexxytimmy Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - I live in minnesota and about 15 minuts away in the middle of a corn field there is one of these old missile bases

dan2fan2 Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - im an ex nike veteran, stationed at c-2-52 ada in carol city fla. although herc was nuke capable no more than 2 were ever deployed to a site. most warheads were H/E type. some imfo may still be classified even tho we stood down stateside in 1979.over seas some units still active. RINGS OF FIRE- yes were in your backyard. dg

TallPaulBiker101 Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - Me and my 2 brothers used to see these missiles raise up out of the ground while we were riding the school bus. The female driver used to pull in the outer entrance to give us a better look. Air raid sirens were wailing at the same time. Duck And Cover!

TallPaulBiker101 Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - We used to fly model airplanes there. I always wondered where the ladder going down led to. It was full of water. It might make for a cool scuba dive

33rdPatriot Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - "Was the Army concerned about exploding nuclear bombs high above major metropolitan areas?"No, of course not. The Army promptly performed well over 1,000 atmospheric nuclear tests without hesitation, concern or care. The first nuclear explosion, in fact, carried a strong caution --totally ignored-- that it might actually set the entire atmosphere on fire.

BruceK10032 Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - This is great! There was a Nike base behind my uncle's place in Livingston, NJ. It was far from secret--everyone knew about it, as was so for all the Nike bases. When the base closed, I took a sign off the fence. It sits in my foyer now. It says, "U.S. ARMY RESTRICTED AREA Persuant [sic] to Section 21 Internal Security Act of 1950 (50 U.S.C. 797)."By the way, some of the missiles shown in the video are Ajax, not Hercules.That base in Sandy Hook should be better preserved as a museum.

Jul 26, 2008 - 9-11 wasnt a nuclear attack but I see what you mean

coirchlid Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - Interesting. I work at an endangered plant nursery in the mountains here in Hawaii. The facility was once a Nike control station. We refer to the nursery as the Nike site. Though I have no idea of where the missiles were actually stored.
