Named by the Government, Nitro was created to win wars.
It all sounds like a terrible movie right? Or at least “American Gladiators” on (more) steroids.
It turned out the government named a town of about 7,000 Nitro long before Somebodyisfromhere.com would have thought there would have been a word for Nitro. Wiki explains:
They duplicated this for next great war and were evidently pretty good at it.
Perhaps these chemicals seeped into the local’s skulls, though, as there are some weird occurrences in town.
Another Wiki page explains, “The Raëlian Movement teaches that life on Earth was scientifically created by a species of extraterrestrials, which they call the Elohim.”
Meanwhile fans of either Richard Gere and/or unexplained phenomena might be interested to know Nitro is also home of a “…1967 Mothman sighting, although this remains unconfirmed.”
Wiki explains, “Mothman is a legendary creature first reportedly seen in the Point Pleasant area of West Virginia from 15 November 1966 to 15 December 1967.”
Most unusual of all there were also said to have been Clark Gable sightings. Oh, wait, this might be true since Wiki explains, “Actor Clark Gable lived briefly in Nitro around 1920.” Randy Moss, too(however, not in 1920).
