The host zooms out to consider why West Carleton in particular might be a UFO hotspot. One theory centers on proximity to Ottawa, Canada's government capital. [1] — Carter Roy "The Diefenbunker, built in 1959 in West Carleton, was a four-level, 75-foot-deep bunker designed to shelter 500 Canadian government officia…" 43:30 The other is the Diefenbunker — a four-level, 75-foot-deep nuclear shelter commissioned in 1959 to house more than 500 key government officials and capable of maintaining communications with other governments even if a five-megaton bomb landed outside. Before the internet, before ARPANET, it was Canada's nerve center of last resort. If an extraterrestrial civilization was curious about human communication systems, the Diefenbunker would be an obvious point of interest. In a remarkable endorsement of this logic, Canada's former Minister of National Defense Paul Hellyer has publicly stated he has no doubt that extraterrestrials have visited the Diefenbunker. The bunker was decommissioned in 1994 — the same year Oeschler retired and UFO sightings in the area reportedly dropped off. Today it is a National Historic Site.
