: Hi, My name is Steve and I own two of the Atlas F Missile sites around Roswell. These sites are all privately owned and are not open to the public. there has been alot of vandalism and breaking and entering at these sites with alot of grafiiti and damage. These sites are very dangerous because of falling (silo's are 180' deep,asbestos, PCB's, lead paint,etc) There is also alot of illegal underage drinking and drug usage going on at these sites.The Police and Sheriff's Dept. have been notified and will arrest anyone trespassing.Please do not visit these sites.Thank You.
Howdy Steve,
Noticed your posting about the missile sights. I have seen them around, and even driven up to the one west of Hagerman at marker 14. There were no signs posted for trespassing, and anyone could have access to the sight. I would suggest that warning signs be posted around the area to inform people of the dangers that you mentioned. I agree, someone could get seriously injured, or killed messing around the area, and you could be liable if there are not signs posted. The part about young kids drinking, and using drugs, really scares me. They are definaty at high risk, and I'm supprised that there has not been anyone hurt up to this point.
I have to admit, the sights are very interesting, and I also would like to know more about them. I recall one of my freinds saying that one their grand father had helped to build them. If I can remember who it is I'll let you know.
Thanks for posting the information. I hope more people will understand the dangers.
Bill
