Oak Ridge in Tennessee comprises the Manhattan Project uranium-enrichment and reactor complex (the X-10 graphite reactor, Y-12 electromagnetic separation, and K-25 gaseous diffusion) that produced fissile material for the first atomic bombs. It is a fully documented national nuclear site. It matters in UFO lore as one of the secure nuclear installations subjected to a series of unexplained 1950 overflights and radar trackings, reinforcing the nuclear-site surveillance theme.
