I know about the NIKE silo on Muddy Branch rd by NIST.  By Sensei has a lab
their for testing.  He works for the Government.  We we talking about the
different locations of the silo's after class.  I'm not sure if there is one
out by the MC air park or not.  I live out there and there is lots of places
to put such a thing, that it would be hidden from passers by.
