Sugar Grove NSA Echelon Facility, VA

This is a snip from a recent New York Times article about the NSA center to monitor communications coming into the US off the eastern seaboard:

DEEP in a remote, fog-layered hollow near Sugar Grove, W.Va., hidden by fortress-like mountains, sits the country's largest eavesdropping bug. Located in a 'radio quiet' zone, the station's large parabolic dishes secretly and silently sweep in millions of private telephone calls and e-mail messages an hour.

Run by the ultrasecret National Security Agency, the listening post intercepts all international communications entering the eastern United States. Another N.S.A. listening post, in Yakima,Wash., eavesdrops on the western half of the country.


Intrigued, I thought I'd look more closely, this is the best satellite photo I could get of the site (without paying, that is) from TerraServer:

Notice the large sattelite dish in the northenmost perimiter of the site. Below is an older photo of the facility from a conspiracy cook site. Cryptome.org wrote something about the place and suddeny and mysteriously has gone offline. Odd, huh?

update: cryptome.org is back online, photos of the Sugar Grove Echelon system aren't.

I`ve been to the Naval Base at Sugar Grove, and the satellites are definitely impressive. The tour given to me, by my friend who is stationed there was short, but I saw most of the base.

I received 1 st business loans when I was 32 and that supported me very much. However, I require the short term loan once again.
