[edit] EARTHLING & CHECKROTE OTHB

According to Jeff Richelsosn's book THE WIZARDS OF LANGLEY on CIA technology, in 1961 the agency began operation of an OTHB in Pakistan codenamed EARTHLING to keep an eye on Soviet rocket launches from Kazakhstan. EARTHLING was shut down in 1965 due to US-PK politics, but the next year, 1966, the agency began operation of a much more powerful derivative codenamed CHECKROTE from Taiwan to keep an eye on Chinese rocket launches -- MrG / 08 Dec 06 —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 4.228.21.181 (talk) 23:23, 8 December 2006 (UTC).
