Army Now Testing Germ Warfare At Remote Spot
Army tests germ warfare at Dugway Proving Ground near Salt Lake City follow the sheep VX incident and long back reports of contaminated land. Venezuelan equine encephalitis and other wildlife exposures are monitored while Utah researchers track birds and other animals for safety. Dr. Thorpe’s secret mission and bird studies are described as safety oriented, with ongoing containment and surveillance along Highway 40 and nearby wildlife. A Barkley monument notes his death and quotes a Bible verse as a sermon ends the Paducah report.
