00:00There's a lot of mystery in Roswell, usually from up above, but today we're going underground
00:06to discover the town's explosive past.
00:11New Mexico is a treasure trove of adventure, culture, and history, but the homeowner I'm
00:16searching for seems to have gone underground.
00:24Silo Man!
00:25How did you find me?
00:26It was hard.
00:27It was not easy to find you.
00:30About 12 miles outside of Roswell, and down many flights of stairs, Gary Baker transformed
00:35a former nuclear missile silo into a home and museum.
00:39When I was a child, you could not go to even the Roswell Public Library and get a paragraph
00:48about Atlas F. I'm sorry, it just wasn't there.
00:52Built in the early 1960s, the home of the Atlas F missile is one of 12 silos that surround
00:57the now-defunct Walker Air Force Base.
01:03The control center is now a two-bedroom, two-bath residence just under 3,000 square feet that
01:08rivals the quietest place on earth.
01:10It's the most peaceful, best sleep I've ever had.
01:13I have ways to tell what's happening on the surface, but I can lock this place down pretty
01:18tight.
