In this episode of the Dudes n Beer podcast host Christopher Jordan welcomes independent researcher, Mary Joyce, author of the book Underground Military Bases Hidden in North Carolina Mountains to discuss D.U.M.B.s in America and around the world. Deep Underground Military Bases may sound like modern urban legend, but that is far from the case. With facilities in locations across the United States and even the globe, these bases are used for everything from deep scientific research to weapons programs and more! There are military bases hidden beneath North Carolina's mountains that most people have never heard about. Even those who are aware of facilities under Area 51 in Nevada and other Western States may not be aware of North Carolina's secret bases. Remarkably, those bases are located near well-known tourist attractions in the state: Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Mount Mitchell State Park, Devil's Courthouse on the Blue Ridge Parkway and Chimney Rock State Park. Yet, the underground facilities are so well camouflaged that few people know they exist. The information about the secret bases is mostly from those with military, law enforcement and high security backgrounds plus citizens who have stumbled upon evidence. Mary A. Joyce has worked for two major metropolitan area newspapers as a writer, columnist, artist, Sunday magazine editor and feature editor. On the side, she's written magazine articles and a number of books. Currently she is editor of the Sky Ships over Cashiers website which features cutting-edge topics. She also has worked for the world's largest private printing company, a major metropolitan air pollution control agency, a community college and political campaigns. Her career includes working for a Fortune 100 company coordinating art and printing for talking children's books. In that capacity, she worked directly with many creative teams including those at Marvel Comics, Golden Books, Mr. Rogers, Berenstain Bears and Steven Spielberg's "ET" book staff. Join the Dudes n Beer podcast as we dig deep into past, no declassified military programs, as well as firsthand testimony from eye witnesses regarding Deep Underground Military Bases (DUMBs) with author and researcher Mary Joyce.
