The CDC site at Reardan is part of the CDC because when the US Bureau of
Mines under the Dept of Interior was shut down in the 1990’s the parts left
over were swept into NIOSH which is under the CDC, not hard rock miners but
doctors. NIOSH does safety research for industry.
My dad worked for the outfit for 30 years I have been all thru the missile
silo top to bottom the only cool thing they had was a high velocity gun use
to study rock mechanics for rock bursts - my friend Jeff got his Ph.D from
the work. The gun and research was move to the WSU lab.
The site is now use mostly for storage.

I'm actually a little surprised if no one knew that the National UFO
Reporting Center is located just out of Davenport. Housed in one of the 8
old Atlas E Missile Silo's, Peter Davenport (http://www.nuforc.org/pdbio.

he is contacted regularly by municipalities for his expertise.
If you really want to get "conspiracy theory", I wonder what the CDC is
storing in the Atlas E Bunker near Reardan......... ?

It would be awesome beyond belief if there were aliens willing to
communicate with us and share knowledge of the universe. I cannot imagine
anyone NOT wanting to know there are others besides ourselves. Did they
struggle with similar issues? What have they learned of their own
evolutionary processes? How similar are our technologies and
understandings of the universe?
There would be so much to know. People keep secrets for a wide variety of
reasons, but chiefly to realize some economic or political advantage. But
do astronomers get paid enough to keep silent about discoveries of this
nature? More than a few would trade that for the fame of discovery. The
be the one to announce this finding to the world.
Beyond that, there are plenty of people who would act on the basis of
altruism. The world deserves to know. These folks would find a way to let
the cat out of the bag.
I buy that extraterrestrial life is likely, and possibly exists elsewhere
even in our own solar system. And if they are out there, they don't appear
to be broadcasting their presence. Maybe they fear Berserkers (highly
xenophobic aliens intent on the extermination of carbon based organisms).
WE aren't broadcasting. We did it once, the Arecibo message sent in 1974
to M13, and the chickened out. You can imagine aliens trying to do the
same thing, with their own Senator Proxmire cancelling their project with
the explanation alien coffers are foolishly wasted on blue sky research and
instead best expended on cheese subsidies.
Our Arecibo message will arrive at the globular cluster in Hercules in
about 25,000 years.
Suppose there are ten advanced civilizations evenly distributed through
the "habitable" disk of the galaxy, with detectors listening for
electromagnetic carrier waves. What's the average spacing? We could
spread them through the volume of a cylindrical disk 3000 light years thick
(the value from Monty Python's "The Galaxy Song"), but for a quick
conservative estimate we can just put them in a ring with a 30,000 light
year radius (our distance from the galactic core).
Circumference is 60,000(pi) light years, or 188,500 light years. Divide
by ten puts our average closest neighbor at 18,000 light years away. We've
got another 18,000 - (2018-1935) = 17,917 years for them to get the first
BBC broadcasts. 36,000 years for a reply, unless they know how to "violate
causality."
THIS was a particularly fascinating object:

Take us with you, `Oumuamua.

I'd like to see us develop the technology to intercept future interstellar
interlopers, and perhaps return samples. But we have concluded we are much
better served beefing up our military, creating space armies, and granting
enormous tax breaks to our beloved wealthy elite instead. There's not
enough left in the public treasury to fund a decent cheese subsidy.
