The Washington Post’s highly-touted Top Secret America investigation, chronicling the explosion of secret government projects, includes a handy map feature that reveals classified government work at four Asheville locations, all within the federal office complex on Patton Avenue.

In about 8 minutes of fussing, I was unable to locate the four Asheville top-secret connections.
A couple videos did little more than sensationalize the story. The article’s search by location (putting in the term “Asheville”) came back with no items found.
If someone gets the link to the Asheville connections, please post it here.
But all this to determine that there are four classified activities within the Federal complex in downtown Asheville?
That really doesn’t mean anything. It could simply be some guy reviewing regional security briefs or whatever. I’m sure NOAA probably has a thing or two that could be considered classified. Let me know when someone discovers a top-sect alien-hybrid base under Pack Square.
Oh, like they’re gonna tell everybody about the top-secret alien-hybrid base under Pack Square, Adam.
“Let me know when someone discovers a top-sect alien-hybrid base under Pack Square.”
Everyone knows that is located in an underground facility near Dulce, NM.
How about a top secret government site beneath the Balsam Mountains near Cashiers?

The whole country is riddled with deep underground bases and tunnels.
