What was said
"That particular area of the North West Cape Harold E. Holt Naval Communications Site was bulldozed. Somebody had removed that concrete facility and filled it in before it was returned to the Australians."
Coulthart revealed witnesses describe a concrete platform with a metal door concealing a tunnel with flashing lights at Australia's Harold E. Holt facility while under US control (1966-1991). When the facility returned to Australian sovereignty, that specific area was bulldozed and filled in, with Americans providing no explanation. Coulthart speculated this may have been a directed energy weapon test site potentially connected to the STS-48 incident filmed overhead.
