down by the sandy beaches of montok Long Island sits a crumbling military base that's been officially abandoned since 1981 however according to local Legend This Rusty satellite dish sits above a vast network of underground tunnels and Laboratories where government scientists still conduct mind control experiments on children that they kidnap from the local Town see your government is lying to you and they're hiding their deepest darkest secrets in Ed locations far away from the public eye today we're going to uner these secrets and explore where they're hidden looking at alien warehouses human testing and North Korean
missiles as we put on our T voil hats and sneak into the most secret bases governments don't want you knowing about Camp hero for those of you who who don't know stranger things is a show on Netflix about a little bald girl who eats waffles and moves stuff with her mind this show is science fiction but incredibly it's based on a real place called mon talk a sleepy hamlet in Long Island with sandy beaches an old-fashioned Lighthouse and an abandoned government facility that's haunted the locals for Generations cute see monuk used to be home to
Camp hero a military base that was created to protect America from Invasion during World War II after the war finished the base was officially used to scan for Soviet missiles during the Cold War but some locals believe that this is a cover up and the American government actually used Camp hero to conduct Research into mind control in telekinesis as part of a top secret program called The Monto project residents claim that the government hired Germany's top scientists to work on the project and They carried out their test by kidnapping local children to experiment on now
full disclosure this Theory originates from a science fiction book called The Monto project experiments in time that was written by an author and conspiracy theorist called Preston Nichols in 1992 however lots of monok locals have stated that sections of Nicholls insane book are true and some of them claim they were personally subjected to experimentation in Camp hero when they were children like locals Joe lefo and James Bruce who said they were tested on with electricity radio waves and psychedelic substances as the scientists attempted to brainwash them and give them superhuman Powers it isn't clear if
these tests were successful neither Joe nor Bruce exhibited marblesque abilities but lots of conspiracy theorists believe the experimentation continued until 1981 when the military packed up and decommissioned Camp hero once the base was closed the US government allowed New York state to build a new State Park in the surrounding area but interestingly the deed allegedly ruled that the state would only own everything on the surface of the property implying that the US government would continue to own the underground portions of the base totally suspicious today all that's left of Camp hero is an abandoned satellite
dish in a series of tunnels that have been sealed off with concrete however some people believe there's an underground base there that's still used by the government these theories garnered International attention in 2008 when the body of a mysterious creature washed up on a nearby Beach it was dubbed the monuk monster and conspiracy theorists immediately claimed it was a Mutan animal that the government had created in the underground base local scientists soon debunked this Theory though as their test proved that the so-called monok monster was just the body of a raccoon that had decomposed in
the ocean still some Avid conspiracy theorists believe these scientists were lying to protect the government they say government scientists are still present in the sealed off tunnels underneath Camp hero conducting experiments on animals and children far away from the public eye now for something a little less Sinister last year loyal fans know Bartholomew recently debuted in plushy form so this year we're introducing him as a ball he's rounder squishier and more huggable than ever we've taken all of baral M's charm and rolled it into a plum sphere but he's already earned consistent five-star reviews so

while stocks last weather control let's move from mind experiments to weather control as we check out another American base that's wrapped up in a dark sci-fi light conspiracy the HAARP research station in Alaska is home to a gigantic radio transmitter that's officially used to analyze a section of the Earth's upper atmosphere called the ionis the transmitter is so powerful that its radio waves can heat the ionosphere which allows scientists to understand how it naturally reacts to the heat of the Sun or at least that's what they want you to believe see some conspiracy theorists think
this is a cover up and the way that the transmitter actually interacts with the atmosphere allows the government to control the weather and send natural disasters to other parts of the world the former governor of Minnesota Jesse Ventura released a conspiracy theory themed TV show in 2009 9 in which he claimed that the base was used to experiment with weather control furthermore when Haiti was hit by a catastrophic earthquake in 2010 the former president of Venezuela Hugo Chavez claimed that America used hap to create the natural disaster it's worth noting that Ventura was governor in
1998 but he's actually best known for his stent as a WWF wrestler in the 70s so he knows more about power bombs than atmospheric science furthermore Hugo Chavez had a strong dislike for America he famously argued that destroying the US Empire would save the human race as well as claiming that the US had used a secret weapon to give him terminal cancer so they're not the most reliable sources still their support made the theory surrounding HAARP increasingly Popular until 2015 that is when the military closed the base and handed it over to the University of
Alaska's research department now giving a weather altering weapon to a college would be pretty fool Hardy but unsurprisingly it didn't suddenly start raining cheap beer over Alaska instead once the university took control of HP they started giving Public tours of the facility to prove that their equipment was totally harmless their scientists clearly explained that while the transmitter can affect the atmosphere it isn't nearly powerful enough to affect the weather in modern science still isn't Advanced enough to create man-made natural disasters so the theories are all science fiction and unfortunately my dream of using harp to
make it rain over my ex's house will have to wait the president's bunker in a world plagued with global warming nuclear weapons and Tick Tock it feels like the apocalypse could come at any moment however the American government don't plan on dying like us common folk and they have a plan for the end of the world in 1951 the US was on the brink of nuclear war with the USSR so President Truman decided to build a top secret relocation site for the Pentagon that the government could tree to in the event of an attack the
result was the Raven Rock Mountain Complex a giant military base hidden inside a hollowed out mountain in Pennsylvania the base is essentially an underground city featuring a power plant a police department and a bar as well as several giant three-story buildings for accommodation some locals were aware of the base's existence but the general public didn't know what ravenrock was used for until 2011 when an American journalist called Garrett graph accidentally uncovered the secret graph was working for a magazine called the Washingtonian when one of his colleagues found a strange government ID card on the floor
of a parking garage the card had directions printed on the back that led to a road that disappeared into the side of a mountain so intrigued graph started looking into it after digging through the archives of several presidential libraries he found Declassified government documents about secret bases which had been revealed to the public these documents revealed the purpose and history of ravenrock and several other similar bunkers like the shyen Mountain Complex a nuclear bunker in Colorado that's operated by the North American Aerospace Defense command NORAD is a military organization that was originally created to detect
missiles or aircraft that may be attacking America most of their operations are at the nearby Peterson Air Force Base but the cheyen Mountain Complex is built 2500 ft underground so in the event of a nuclear attack norad's staff can Retreat to the bunker to continue their work as graphin covered more information about these compounds he wrote a book about them making their purpose and existence public knowledge today these bases are fully operational and they're still part of the government's plan for the apocalypse ravenrock is reportedly staffed with at least 100 soldiers but access to the
public is strictly prohibited so when the world ends we'll have to fend for ourselves in the Wasteland while the American government lives it up in Raven Rock Subterranean submarines let's leave the states and go on vacation to hen a tropical Chinese island with sandy beaches and Luxury Resorts hyan is a tourist's paradise but as they sit their cocktails and relax in the sun they're unwittingly lounging above a top secret submarine base hidden in the caves underneath the island sehen is also home to Ulen Naval Base a giant military facility that's known to house aircraft carriers
and warships this is public knowledge but in 2020 a commercial satellite flying over highand captured images of a Chinese submarine entering a tunnel underneath the base reveal buing a top secret area that's used to store nuclear subs according to a former US defense department official called Drew Thompson China hide lots of their military assets underground to keep them away from prying eyes however this top secret location was accidentally uncovered when a satellite happened to fly over the area at the exact moment that the submarine dove into its entrance when images of the incident were released
online military experts identified the sub as a type 093 submarine this 7,000 ton sub can be fitted with Torpedoes and cruise missiles and experts believe that the underground base also houses type 094 submarines that are dedicated to launching nuclear missiles so if nuclear war does break out the tourists at hinan might get a front row seat of a Chinese submarine launching a nuke and the enemy's response well that's one way to get a tan Hanger 18 America has a long-standing history of UFO sightings and in 1947 the US Air Force made the shocking announcement that
they had recovered a flying disc crashed in a field in Roswell New Mexico after a brief investigation the government announced that the UFO was a crashed weather balloon but some people were convinced that it was actually an extraterrestrial ship and the Roswell incident soon became one of the most notorious alien conspiracy theories in America in the 1970s public interest was renewed when the family of an ex-military pilot called py Henderson claimed that the UFO was actually an alien spaceship that he'd helped to transport from Roswell to the r Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio apparently
papy had transported the spaceship and several alien bodies to a secret location called Hangar 18 where they were stored in a special area called the Blue Room the government explicitly denied this and they claimed that Hangar 18 and the Blue Room didn't exist at all however the conspiracy theory never died and ufologists have spent decades trying to prove that the Roswell crash was extraterrestrial in nature one interesting Theory emerged online in 2012 when Declassified documents from the ' 50s revealed that rright Patterson was used to secretly test a new flying vehicle that closely resembles a
flying saucer the afar was a new type of fighter jet that was supposed to be able to fly 10,000 ft in the air while moving its supersonic speeds the aircraft was fitted with one Central jet engine but unfortunately the design failed and the prototypes were only able to get a few feet off the ground it seemed like the concept was too advanced aned for America's technology at the time leading to online theories that the Avo car was built in Hangar 18 as an attempt to recreate Advanced alien technology that the government captured at Roswell of
course it's worth noting that while the avoc car was tested at rright Patterson it was initially designed in Canada in 1952 far away from the Roswell crash site furthermore inventors have been attempting to develop Flying Saucer style aircraft since the 1930s so the abocar wasn't an entirely New Concept either still still the fact that the futuristic afroart and the Roswell incident can be linked to the same Airbase is pretty suspicious right it's hardly surprising that conspiracy theorists have got their tent foil hats in a Twist Russian Roswell the Roswell incident is incredibly famous in America
but in Russia lots of their extraterrestrial conspiracy theories revolve around a military base called capoen Yar when the Russian government built a base in the 1940s they evacuated an entire Village caught ziter and relocated the locals so they could construct a facility on their Land once built kapusan Yar acted as the center for the Soviet space program during the Cold War and a test site for Russia's growing arsenal of nuclear weapons lots of prominent conspiracies stem from this top secret base and one of the most popular supposedly happened in 1948 when capoen yar's radar operators
detected a strange cigar-shaped object flying overhead they dispatched a fighter jet to investigate but as it approached the UFO an unknown problem caused both aircraft a crash to the ground the wreckage was then promly gathered by the military and hidden inside one of capoen yar's hangers never to be seen again when the US military discovered capoen Yar in 1953 the base's existence became public knowledge and accounts of the UFO encounters started to spread across the world before long capoen Yar became known as the Russian Roswell and ufologists like David Wilcock argu that the cigar-shaped object
was an alien spaceship that Russia is still hiding from the public eye they believe the Soviets studied the spaceship to develop their space program and even built the world's first satellite Sputnik 1 from reverse engineering it indeed when Sputnik 1 was launched in 1957 its technology was deemed so Advanced that the American government created NASA to compete with it however it's important to note that Sputnik 1's Tech is incredibly outdated today so it's unlikely to have come from an advanced alien species furthermore the Russian government has never acknowledge the rumors about capoen Yar so there's
no concrete evidence the UFO encounter ever actually happened of course even if there's truth to the rumors capoen Yar is still a heavily guarded rocket launch complex so the basis secrets are likely to be revealed anytime soon and we may never know the true nature of the UFO that supposedly took down one of the ussr's fighter jets what do you think let me know down below Kim Secrets every country has Secrets but no government is more mysterious than the reclusive hermit nation of North Korea like an angsty teenager Kim Jong-un likes to keep himself hidden
from the outside world and satellites have proven that North Korea is full of underground airfields with runways coming out of the country's vast mountain ranges other countries have built air bases and caves like the abandoned zil Hava Air Base in modern-day Croatia however North Korea's also contain their missile silos which hold the country's estimated supply of 50 nuclear warheads this makes Lil Kim's man caves pretty threatening but the supreme leader doesn't keep all his Secrets hidden underground Kim lives a lavish lifestyle spending an estimated $600 million a year on luxury items like private jets and
terrible haircuts in 2006 the United Nations tried to curb the former leader Kim jong-il's spending by both Banning companies from selling luxury items to the states and accepting North Korean currency however ill responded by creating a new organization inside the Workers Party building in Pyongyang known as room 3 9 the secretive organization is tasked with a legally obtaining foreign currency to buy luxury items and smuggle them into Korea they operate by counterfeiting $100 bills and producing narcotics to sell abroad in 2001 they circulated a whopping 114 million in fake bills while in 2003 Australia seized
a North Korean shipment of illegal narcotics worth $27 million recently Room 39 has started to utilize cyber crime to in 2016 they were caught attempting to hack the new York Federal Reserve and steal $1 billion these methods bring in between 500 million to1 billion a year and the dirty money is used almost solely to fund Kim jong-un's lavish lifestyle this means that the secret base allows the dictator to stay rich in a country that's cut off from the rest of the world as he spends millions of dollars on sports cars and hair gel instead of
food for his country starving population what a glorious leader the Frozen base we often view conspiracy theor theists as neck beards in their mom's basements ranting about vaccines online however conspiracy theories have been around far longer than Cheetos and fortan and one of the most shocking allegations of a government cover up came after the end of World War II the story starts in 1938 when the German government conducted a top secret expedition to establish a wailing base on Antarctica they intended on colonizing an area they named new swabia but when the second world war broke
out Germany abandoned these plans to focus on the war effort at least officially see some people believe they did build an Antarctic compound called base 211 which they used to shoot down enemy planes during World War II according to them at the end of the war several high-ranking German officials including the nation's Infamous mustache leader faked their deaths traveled to Antarctica in a submarine and hit out at base 21 for several years in 1947 the US Navy carried out a real operation called high jump which officially involved sending a mil milary Force to Antarctica to
build a new research base however the conspiracy theorists believe the operation was actually a failed invasion of Base 211 where the US was beaten back by the German forces after this the base supposedly grew until the late 1950s when the US military finally destroyed it with a nuclear bomb marking the true end of World War II these theories were incredibly popular and author LL Zabo wrote an account of the events in 1947 that was published in several major international news newspapers today however the theory can be debunked with a combination of modern satellite technology and
further information about operation high jump firstly high jump wasn't a secret mission 11 journalists were present throughout the entire operation to give updates to the media also the American Military didn't actually go to the German claimed region of New swabia during the operation so even if Bas 211 did exist they wouldn't have encountered it finally and most damningly the entirety of Antarctica has now been mapped by scientists and satellites and guess what none of them have found any evidence of the destroyed base or the aftermath of a nuclear explosion on the continent there's no way
that a detonation could have occurred without leaving a trace which proves that this theory is wholly false damn there go my dreams of mutant radioactive Penguins Metro 2 the subway is a Haven for rats litter and terrible street performers so when moscow's Metro 1 system was built in 1934 Stalin's government decided to secretly build their own private so way alongside the civilian one this top secret system is called Metro 2 and it supposedly connects the president's residence in the cremin to the vuko government airport so the president can escape Moscow and flee the country if
it's attacked some experts have also theorized that the system links to a rumored underground city in the nearby rinki District that's supposedly able to house 15,000 people for 30 years in the event of a nuclear attack now the Russian government has never confirmed the existence of the tunnels but in 1991 the US Department of Defense released a report in which they claimed Metro 2 was real alongside a diagram of the system superimposed over a map of the city this evidence is pretty convincing but the US government aren't exactly ons to talk similar Escape tunnels exist
underneath the White House yep The Washington Post reported that in 1941 President Roosevelt built a short tunnel from the White House to a secret vault beneath the nearby treasury building the tunnel was initially created as an air rate shelter during World War II but after the war government officials continued to use it to sneak in and out of the White House undetected this tunnel definitely exists but it's theorized that there are many more including one that runs to the building South lawn what's more in 1980 President Truman's daughter Margaret wrote a murder mystery novel involving
a secret tunnel running from the White House to the nearby Lafayette Park of course Margaret's novel was a work of fiction but if anybody would know the truth it'd be the daughter of a former president bikini at all bikini atel is a beautiful isolated Coral Reef in the Pacific Ocean consisting of 23 Islands gathered around a large Lagoon only it Harbors a dark past one the US government would rather nobody knew about in 1946 the US military decided it was the perfect place to see how nuclear weapons act when they're detonated in the ocean so
they forced Bikini's population of 167 people to move to another ATL before building a series of bunkers and transforming their former home into a pseudo basin testing site in total they performed 23 nuclear tests leaving giant craters in the seabed and flooding it with dangerous radiation during one of these a miscalculation meant that one nuclear bomb yielded a jaw-dropping 15 megatons making it around 1,000 times more powerful than the bombs used on Hiroshima and Nagasaki at the end of World War II this is still the most powerful nuclear test ever performed by the USA and
the explosion left a mile wide crater in the reef and completely vaporized three of the atol islands even worse radioactive ash from the blast rained down on a Japanese fishing boat 80 Mi away which gave 23 fishermen radiation sickness and took one life but the Fallout from the test wasn't all nuclear see when the US government relocated bikini ATL's indigenous population they moved them to rerik atal which was 1 16th of the size and had a terrible food and water supply as a result after just a couple of years they were undernourished and close to
starving seeing this the US responded by moving them once more this time to Keeley Island a tiny area of land with very limited resources here despite the poor conditions the majority of the bikinians would stay today around 400 residents still live on Keeley Island in Cinder black houses surviving on Imports of food as for bikini ATL it's totally inhospitable when the nuclear tests were finally complete some bikinians went back to their Homeland but before long they started EXP experiencing radiation sickness and it became clear that once idilic atol was no place for human life America's
now abandon base there serves as a dark reminder of the time that they kicked a population out of their home turned it into a nuclear Wasteland and prevented them from ever returning the farm in the movie Spies spend most of their time driving sports cars and slamming martinis however Life as a secret agent isn't a walk in the park and if you want to become a spy in America you have to start by undergoing some intense training at a top secret facility called the farm this Farm isn't a muddy field full of cows it's actually
a CIA training camp hidden inside a large military base in Virginia called Camp purri the Farm's existence hasn't been officially acknowledged by the US government however several retired CIA agents like amarillis Fox Kennedy and Douglas London have openly talked about the base while revealing some aspects of its intense training regime apparently the training takes place in a fake town set in a fictional County called verania with its own fake US Embassy Town Square and even a mock news channel in this setting the trainees have to carry out missions that involve spying on the fake vartanians
that are played by CIA operatives these missions generally involve holding covert meetings and planting bugs but they also get to indulge in some more actionpack James Bond style training like gunfighting parachuting and operating speedboats unsurprisingly the farm is home to some more controversial training practices is too a former agent called Bill Wagner has revealed that in the 1970s the CIA held a 3-we interrogation course at the farm where trainees were taught how to withstand and perform special interrogation techniques if you catch my drift the exercise was considered the Farm's Premier course so places were highly
coveted but limited as a result if you agreed to play the role of a captive you were guaranteed a space as an interrogator next time the course was held this caused a lot of traines to sign up and when they did they were subjected mercilessly to all kinds of Horrors some operatives reported enduring sleep deprivation having to eat poisoned food and taking part in mock executions others have claimed they were waterboarded according to Wagner around 10% of trainees dropped out of the exercise which actually seems pretty low all things considered Wagner claims that the CIA
dropped the course in the 70s but most of the training methods used by the farm are still shrouded in mystery and it isn't clear exactly what currently goes on behind its bwire fences still after 6 months of training at the facility you can graduate as a fully fledge CIA operative allowing you to be placed undercover and infiltrate a criminal gang a corrupt government or assume the identity of a handsome YouTuber who creates hilarious content Great British steak out with its old timey farms and medieval churches the British Countryside is like a window to the Past
however if you drive through the Rolling Hills of North Yorkshire you'll come across something incredibly futuristic a military base that's the largest electronic monitoring station in the world despite this it's shrouded in secrecy Royal Air Force men withth Hill is a satellite ground station that the British and American governments can use to tap into phone calls messages and internet searches that are made anywhere on the planet the base contains 37 radio antennas hidden inside golf ball shaped structures called ROMs these antennas are connected to satellites that pick up radio waves from the ground and send
them back to men with Hill allowing the base to intercept Radio based Communications like cell phone calls and Wi-Fi searches the base was originally built in 1954 to monitor the USSR during the Cold War but today it's primarily used to investigate terrorist groups by America's national security agency and a global spy Network called Echelon this network links spies from Britain America Australia Canada and New Zealand and it's so secretive that there aren't any official records of its existence however rumors of the network started to circulate in the 1970s and in 2015 the infamous NSA whistleblower
Edward Snowden proved that it exists by leaking top secret documents about its capabilities according to a study by the European Parliament Echelon works by indiscriminately intercepting lots of Civilian Communications before sorting through them to see if they contain anything criminal this means that men with Hill is regularly used to spy on private lives as Echelon tap into Communications that you make make it home wow I think some of you should go scrub your search histories and personally I'm going to stop drunk diing my ex at 3:00 a.m. every Saturday I didn't realize James Bond was
listening in from men with Hill human testing from baked beans to blood pudding the UK is filled with lots of toxic substances however the most dangerous matter in Britain is kept at Porton down a military research facility in a quaint English Village that has dark connections to chemical warfare and human testing today Port Down's existence is common knowledge and the facility Laboratories are primarily used to study new diseases however the site used to be a top secret base that was used to test biological weapons from 1916 to 1989 at least 20,000 British servicemen were coerced
into volunteering for dangerous human trials on the site these servicemen were told that they were volunteering for harmless tests but as soon as they entered port and down they were dosed with dangerous chemicals like mustard gas nerve agents and LSD as the British government attempted to determine which substances make the best weapons of war lots of these participants suffered serious illness and injury from the test and in 1954 a British aircraftman called Ronald Madison passed away after some deadly sarin nerve agent was poured onto his arm during a trial oh man these tests were strictly
confidential and although the government did tell Madison's father how his son passed away they warned him that he'd be prosecuted under the official Secrets act if he told anybody else what happened this meant that the human trials remained a secret until 1999 when the British police started to expose Port Down's history of human experimentation as part of an investigation called operation antler they soon uncovered the truth about Ronald and when they publicly revealed how the aircraftman really passed away the British Ministry of Defense paid $124,000 in compensation to his living relatives today port and down
has stopped testing on humans but that doesn't mean they've turned over a new Leaf during the second world war scientists from Port down also tested chemical weapons on animals and they notably traveled to grard Island in Scotland in 1942 to place 80 sheep in crates and dowe them with a cloud of Anthrax if you didn't know Anthrax is a seriously dangerous bacterial disease that can live for hundreds of years none of the sheep survived the experiment and the soil on grard island showed traces of the bacteria until bordon down scientists finally cleared the area in
199 90 however despite these devastating effects the experiment was considered a success and port and down still conducts brutal experiments on animals to this day these tests are largely kept hidden from the public but media reports have suggested that they include exposing monkeys and guinea pigs to Anthrax and mustard gas While others involve strapping explosives to pigs and detonating them to test different types of body armor Croy it's believed that over 100,000 animals have died at the port and down site since 20 9 so although the facility has left human testing in the past they
continue to carry out lethal experiments in the name of science while hiding on the outskirts of a picturesque Village in the English Countryside before you leave here's a reminder to grab your plushy ball while you still can stock is highly limited well with that disturbing Revelation I think it's time to end our look at secret bases that governments don't want you to know about which of those bases terrified you the most let me know in the comments below and thanks for watching [Music]
