The hum started two years ago. Only some folks in Taos, New Mexico, could hear it. Mmmmm. Mmmmm. Residents began to lose sleep, suffer headaches. Mmmmmmmm. The residents called upon their U.S. Representative, BILL RICHARDSON, to look into the mysterious vibration. His investigation, which is continuing, has uncovered three U.S. Air Force projects that could be behind the noise: a structure used to bounce radar waves, a low-flying airborne laser laboratory, and helicopters. Recently, Richardson wrote Defense Secretary Les Aspin asking him to “make the necessary changes” to end the problem.
