- Опубликовано: 22 май 2024
- Governments around the world are hiding their secrets in highly secure facilities, far away from prying eyes. These places have become focal points of conspiracy theorists and those trying to uncover the truth of what our governments are doing behind closed doors… so, from classified monitoring stations, to chemical research stations, here are the top 15 most secret bases on earth.

If these are the MOST secret bases the internet is reporting on, can you imagine the REAL secret bases that nobody knows about ?
🤔
Shhhhh....
Exactly...they are underground 💯, those booms that people keep hearing are them working on building the bases 👌...tunneling
OH, YAHH. D.U.M.B S....DEEP UNDERGROUND MILITARY BASES. THEY CAN FIT MILLIONS OF PEOPLE AND THERE ARE STORES, PHARMACIES, FAST FOOD RESTAURANTS, LIBRARIES, ETC,ETC. WHEN THEY SHUT DOWN 56 WALMARTS, THE MILITARY TOOK EVERYTHING IN ALL OF THEM AND PUT IT IN THERE FOR A NUCLEAR WAR🤔🤔
Someone must know about them, otherwise they wouldn't exist.
So secret there's a RUclips video about them.....
😭
Right!
🤔😂😂😂😂😅😅😅😅😅😂😂
Exactly!
Damn I thought exactly the same 💔
16 minutes in. Dulce brings back memories. Phil Schneider, RIP, released 4 videos in the 90's. Talking about building that underground base as well as other secrets... before he was "suicide/murdered."
or should i say before he was "Epsteined."
@@myincarnation4922 "Arkancided" is another popular term.
Phill was genetically compromised when he lost his fingers so ,,, I have mixed emotions about that . I DIGRESS . RIP Phill ...
Phil Schneider was hunted down and murdered for his openess about dulce base and area 51 dumbs and recreation of propulsion crafts his talks were him telling everyone there is so many secrets and the US government are willing to kill there own to keep them secrets.they reported he committed suicide but where pics of him strapped to his dinning room table body black and his whole hand had been melted of and foot to in the fight under area 51 where he was saved by a us marine who shoved him into a lift and sent him to top floor don't let the government fool you open your eyes
nothing on Dr Phil Schneider can be found on you tube now it's all gone same as the crimes of the UK monarchy and missing children cases in Canada all a hoax we shall be told but do research everyone has been silenced who knew anything about anything on Diana and dodi final day mi John Hopkins confessions about his 29 assasinations onbthe monarchs orders how he blinded Diana n dodi car driver on entrance to the tunnel in Paris a tactic many use to blind drivers into swearing cars into walls and cars Diana wasn't hurt the fire man who opened the car door said she had a graze on her forehead nothing else and her ambulance was kept in the tunnel for over a hour now why wouldn't it race her to hospital instead of sending in a doctor inside the tunnel who spent 15 mins inside the bk of the ambulance oh and btw I am not thinking of taking my own life in the next week or 2😮😮😂😂 just putting that out there
I was overseas in the USAF in the 90's, there are WAY more secretive bases and "sites" that were not mentioned here...
Can you name any?
Like the ones that are used to test holographic and v2k electronic harassment on citizens.
My late Father worked with the British Army in the Communications Sector (Royal Signals), when we lived in Gloucester in the UK and passed a Communications Center there known as the Doughnut, he often mentioned going inside, however when I asked him about a secretive base called Menwith Hill, famous for its large Golf Ball shaped listening devices - he would not discuss it.
exploring with fighters has a exploration video on menwith hill cool stuff check it out mate good stuff
there's a replica of the pentagon underground ...not!!
I live near Menwith Hill

My wife served for 18 years. Sending to British & NATO bases & vessels around the globe. As she attained higher ranks, she dealt with top secret & diplomatic bags. Now as obscure places crop up on tv, she says "I sent stuff there, had too look it up on a map".
People think Area 51 is so secret….. there’s other bases that make that look like a tourist destination
We all know it's to deflect attention away from area 52.
I think that the main reason the US government doesn't want anybody knowing what goes on inside of those buildings at Area 51 is because of the experimentations that they're doing on people who go missing, and the same thing applies to the underground base in Dulce, New Mexico. Area 51 has more underground levels than people know about, seven levels to be exact.
@@fredachildress3728 there’s a lot of aviation technology that is way more advanced than we can imagine being tested there. Not saying there’s not facilities for the situations you mentioned, but I doubt it’s there. It’s an older engineering facility that holds the smoke and mirrors illusion that concentrates the global view, the “other” stuff is guaranteed to be elsewhere
Evil lives everywhere, but condenses more at top levels
Very wise.
“And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;”
Revelation 6:15
They didn't mention schriever Air Force Base east of Colorado springs which is an underground missile base with 90% of their Buildings underground with security as tight as you can ever get it. Absolutely no cell phones permitted. Where if you're a contractor you are escorted everywhere. If one person needs to use the bathroom everybody else waits outside with their military escort.
So what?? Most airports are that way too. Where if you lack the proper badge as a contractor, you are escorted everywhere.
@@halnogaies1256
It's not an airport. It's a military base. it has to fences around it. If you make it to the inside fence your dead. They call that the kill zone. Just like Buckley air force base. You get between the two fences of the golf balls your dead. And you can't sue the military. Your
Or Wright Patterson air base where all the roswell wreckage was sent too. There is a massive underground section to that base that not even the airforce MPs are allowed into.
@@smith023023 I’m literally a few miles from that base, drive past it a lot
@@kingx76x so you've probably noticed all the rooftop vents all across the base?
As someone who works in the government, the reality is the bases that are kept secret from the public don’t end up in a RUclips video 😂 and if for whatever reason one did manage to be put online, that video would be pulled very quickly and the creator would be gone for a while as they investigated how that person knew about their classified base and most likely their RUclips channel would be pulled as well
or eliminated :)
@@MattRocky that’s what he’s talking about being gone for awhile
The best kept secrets are made public, then completely forgotten about a month later.
Still have another
This guy works for the government and searching up secret government bases 😂
Great stuff….. I have a feeling though that we just really DON’T know about the super secret bases.
I so agree with you.🤙🏽🕊
A geologist is known to have exposed aliens and military bases, that he helped built, that are on the sea floor. I forgot his name, but hopefully someone in the comments can help
Ft. Stockton
We don't and wont
If we knew it wouldn't be a secret lol
FYI. Top Secret stuff should be kept secret. Putting that information in public hands would be Bad. I know. I served my country. Got out 30 years ago & Kept my mouth shut & have lived a long & healthy life. It is better to Kiss & NOT Tell. My mother always said ( it is better to remain silent and though of as a fool, than to speak up & remove all doubts).
Wait to go Larry.... good little pion doing what you where told and don't show any Free Thinking. Just like all the other Army jar-heads. I served my country crap....
Clearly not too secret lmao
And for everyone of these there are 5 that you dont know about and wont know about for another 50 years or so
I live in Maryland and not too far from Fort Meade. Thank you for featuring this awesome base. :) Sadly because of 9/11 there is one way in and out via the main road.
😳
Aside from secret bases. There is plenty of hiding in plain sight.
Your show should be called, Bases that used to be secret.
All the bases are concealed and what exactly is done at each of these bases, is a secret.
I was stationed at Dugway Proving Ground from 2012 - 2014. I was at the shopette/gas station on the base and while standing in line I was chatting with a truck driver who had just dropped a load way out in a restricted area. He told me about some sort of secret ammo that could go around corners. I think there's a movie with that in it. Then once around 9:30am we heard those very loud sirens that seem to come out of the sky. They went on for about one minute. I could tell they were coming from the west which is were the super secret restricted areas are. There are several videos about those mysteriously loud siren sounds. . .
I live in Magna which is just east of there & Ive seen the TR3B (Black Triangle) coming from there, to the SW of Salt Lake, then taking off to the South, but not at full capability(from what Ive seen) & had heard Dugwqy (Area 52) was an underground base for TR3B's........could you possibly confirm or deny? If not, totally understandable.......
Heading to scout the parameter soon! Lol
@@pump_6669
The secret Triumph models ?
After meeting some of those from that base... There aren't many secrets lol
I was at Dugway. What unit was you in?
@3:10 - Please note Siachen glacier is not a secret base but a border outpost between India and Pakistan. Is it so secret that a spiritual guru is seen teaching yoga at that place?!
Also IA is not harming environment, this idiot saying IA is harming environment, though other base are manufacturing Anthrex which is more dangerous, IA is just saving motherland from all terrorist neighborhoods
@@musku1412 typical west ideology… what do expect from this joker…. All nuclear tests conducted by these chamans are not causing global warning … dugle hain yeh bkl
Rachel is a cool little community, lots of area51 stuff there.
A bunch of us friends who served at Olavsvern in the 80s have chuckled over seeing it on this list of "top secret bases" that governments supposedly don't want us to know about. I frequently took the bus back there after spending a night's leave in Tromsø, and there it was, Olavsvern, right on the bus schedule. Seems like a severe security breach. 🤣
Of course, like with all military installations, photography was not allowed. I often felt that the small entrance to the huge installation inside the mountain seemed like a good site for a villain's lair in a James Bond movie.
Lol
I visited the entrance of Olavsvern in the late 90s while on a submarine deployment. The security guards didn't to mind us looking around as long as we didn't take ony photos. Pretty typical protocol. The entrance did not seem to be big enough for a particularly large ship or sub to fit into.
6:01 "Everyone talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it." -- Mark Twain. Well sir, it looks like someone is finally doing something about (to) it.
Good thing too. Otherwise millions in Canada and the US would have died after the Fukushima disaster. They shifted the jet stream. 500mi north to carry the worst of the radiation away from populated areas 😂
Then it took them years figuring out how to put it back! 😮😮😮
One of the best narrators ! Good voice
Thanks mate! I love narrating for this channel. 😊
@@chriskane1
I love the content and find your delivery wonderful.
Sadly, someone isn't doing a good job on editing the music and it sometimes drowns you out.
I'd much rather heat you and receive the information you share.
Thank you for all you do.
@@OlyviaGayl Hey thank you for the lovely compliment! I don't have too much control over the editing process, but I agree with you. I think most of the episode might benefit from something called auto-ducking, which would automate the music to drop slightly when the narration comes in. 😊
@@chriskane1
I didn't know there was something like that.
I vote for them using it.
Wow Chris ur a legend I listened to u a lot from simple history
No mention of the underground base at Ft. Ritchie. A stone throw from Camp David. (Jesse Ventura voice). Coincident? I think not!
Diego Garcia is so narrow, being an atoll, that the airport runway and hangars take up the broadest part of the atoll, and other buildings for the base take up a lot of the rest. Barracks are on the beach. The rest of the island is pretty uninhabitable or too narrow for anything else. It is a distribution base, which would take up plenty of space. There just isn't enough room, nor would it be safe to conduct any secret experiments, particularly since the Atoll is so small, even a small mistake in an experiment could potentially affect everyone on the atoll.
I wouldn't be shocked if real aliens are in some of those secret bases. Not one bit.
The top secret bases in the world are places you have never seen nor heard about AND some of them you have probably driven by without even knowing it!
Relatively under the radar was a facility in northern Virginia (go figure) that The Man from Uncle was rumored to have that they keep their Black Suburbans & other tactical vehicles & equipment. No wonder that stuff is always in pristine condition when it is out on a detail!
It’s not much of a secret now but I live in Northern Virginia right beside a Government facility called mount weather
Damn!! I never knew Area 51 is secret military bases!!! 😨 thanks btw
All the bases are concealed and what exactly is done at each of these bases, is a secret.
@@WarrenAlexDean wow 😳
If they didn't want you to know about it! You would not know about it! And you wouldn't be showing the world your video on youtube. People been trying to show Area 51 on youtube for years.
But the gov. won't let anyone close enough! But I like your vid!
Yulin is visible on Google Earth, but there seems to be something over the opening now making it harder to see! Not sure if it's something digital on that app. or simply camouflage netting
Wow. Such a super secretive area in the thumbnail photo.
Who'd be suspicious of a parking lot next to a giant cave?
The most secret bases are the ones that practically no one knows about, and thus will never be on a video for decades.
“Knowing about something” vs “knowing something” is a distinction that many of you are failing to grasp
Narrator: “ most secret bases ever”
RUclips: “ hold my restrictions “
The funny thing about Area 51 is that I don't believe that it was ever meant to be a "secret". Sure the security is tight because prototype top secret air craft are tested there. There are some interesting contradictions at Area 51. Watch any show on TV that investigates the place. They will most likely show a sign on the edge of the public property that says that any photography is strictly prohibited. Now look at every time we get an official story about Area 51. For example the development of the SR-71 where former employee's openly admitted working there and what was going on for the Nat Geo channel. These employees had photographs to back up their story. The same thing happened with the F-117. No photography, but we get pics of that aircraft taken inside the base. With all of the stories of how tight the security is at Area 51, nobody is sneaking a chance to take a good quality pic and then smuggling out the film. These pictures are allowed to happen even though at the time that they were taken the aircraft were "top secret". Area 51 seems to me like the place where the aircraft that were meant to be seen by the public get tested, before they are officially seen by the public. Any really secret aircraft development is probably taking place somewhere else, and there is absolutely no pictures being taken of what's being worked on.
There are always official photos taken by the military to document their activities. The photos are often classified but later declassified and released, such as those of the SR-71.
There is a huge number of secret nuclear shelters in the world of all sizes!
The real secret bases only the people who need to know about them will know that’s how classified information works no matter the classification it’s need to know basis
really nice video 👍👍
Merry Christmas I just love your videos and voice
One question, if the government doesn't want us to know about these.....how do you know about them?
Area 51. There's alot out there that we don't know about
Should look into Pohakuloa training are on the big island of Hawaii. They've been up to some shady stuff on the west-ish side of the base for at least a decade now.
Dude you didn't mention the sub base in the middle of Nevada. I find this base very fascinating and very difficult to find real info on.
Now that would be a VERY SECRET base. Yet very possible, Elon Musk might've been the one who bored the underground water channels/tunnels🤔. There might be ocean front property available in the dessert based on this analysis....🤯

Here's a thought. If 'we' have one of 'them' and they are as ultra capable as we think, then totally incommunicado and secret is only smart.
Google Earth seems to know where these secret bases are
Google has collected a lot of data for the study of the earth's surface by analyzing and researching the planet with their technologies.
This is why we need Mexico and South America because it’s closer to Antarctica meaning we would monitor the entire coastline along with crucial resources in the ground …,,,including Antarctica

Cheyenne facility was written about extensively by E.E. "Doc" Smith in 1930s thru 50s, so I resume it was actually started secretly before it's official recognition!
In his time, it was assumed we'd reach space by sling-shooting ships from Cheyenne Mountain into orbit by either steam or electricity 😂
@@richardscathouse Doc Smith was proposing extreme high tech that we are still dreaming about.
He is the God Father of "Hard" Sci-fi.
He was also often woutrd by Ronald Reagan, sometimes confusing his work with the Bible!
His works were treated like Holy Scriptures by the Conservative Elite, for generations.
8:16 “Home of several Army divisions”? They don’t have a single division let alone several. Each one is about 10,000 personnel. That’s a lot of muldoon’s for a “secret” base.
Quite interesting. Thanks 👍 very much. 😊😊😊
surprised Fort Belvoir VA did not make your list...
@Hello Tommy how are doing?
I was a Hospital Corpsman in the Navy. I was a Preventive Medicine Technician. I once went to a restricted area to help find how mice were getting in the building and in the walls. I guess they were chewing on wires or whatever.
While it was a serious health and hygiene problem because mice can cary disease and spread it from their excrement. I had to investigate mouse poop in the only restricted access area I was asked to visit.
I'm not sure about the nondescript building, but they definitely had a mouse infestation. We helped them set traps and told them not to eat lunch at their desks.
I can neither confirm or deny whether or not these rodents had alien origins.
My profession as well: majored in Emergency Medicine and food services sanitation! Stationed at NRMC SDiego, or "Balboa"!
about pine gap, those balls are housing what is known as high power radars
Putin's war on Ukraine proves how very important for the US to build smart and secretive military bases.
If you know where it is and what it does then it is not very secret.
You may know there is a base in a particular location but never assume you have even the slightest idea what the military is doing inside that base.
There’s crap hidden we have no clue about
My guy really said conspiracy THEORISTS and government SECRETS in the same sentence
this is where cryptids come from and where the 650,000 missing people a year disappear to.
I go hiking all over Cheyenne mountain, it's my favorite place to hike, absolutely beautiful. No secret base there, EVERYONE knows it's there.
If it's classified "It's classified". It wouldn't be on you tube 🙄
Where’d you get that alien footage from Mar-a-Lago? 🤣
Now THAT wouldn't surprise me at all.
They'll only tell us what they want us to know 😁 it's the ones that we don't know about that are the real secret ones
I'm curious If the government don't want you knowing about these places, how do you find out about them
They are all retired places that have served their purpose for the times

I can’t be the only person who sees the influence for Damavand Peak from BF3 in the Cheyenne Mountain Base
No mention of Dingxin Test and Training Base in the Gobi Desert, the PLA's equivalent to Nellis AFB.
I came here because of a dream I had. I dreamt of a base that was nestled between mountains and you got to this base by train underwater or a very loooong hike. It was hidden so well that the closest towns had no idea it was there. They had a store in it just like cities have. A convenient store like kum & go. Everyone was dressed in military clothes. They ran back and forth on 6 wheelers and it had a giant airplane, bigger than any plane I've ever seen with several tires and multiple engines on this plane and they were evacuating this base and just leaving everything in it. Some snuck into this base but none cared because something bad was happening and they were all learning in that huge plane. The closest airplane that I can find that looked like the one I saw in my dream was the antonov 225. Oh yeah, they had small bears in the surrounding forests and these bears had tails
Do you usually have dreams of these things?
@@stephensankar5511 Many instances in the Bible, God conveyed a very important message via a dream, vision, etc.. Like:
An incoming 7. yrs of great famine, thru the dream of Egypts pharaoh- rightly interpreted by then a palace prisoner- Joseph the son of Jacob, with Rachel as the mother;..
Thru a dream, God warned Joseph, the foster father of Lord Jesus- that the baby Jesus and her foster mother Mary- be evacuated immediately outside of Israel, being hunted by Herods for murder purposes- and not for "worshipped" reasons, as he told the departing entourages of 3. wise men from the "east".. The subject baby & mother must be brought to Egypt right away!.. That whole night, the trio family did a travel by land, riding in a donkey;..
The above. mentione 3. wise men entourages, warned by God thru a dream- that they shouldnt go back to Herods, to informed him about the child location- they departed from Jerusalem City, taking another route- thus, they outwitted Herods!...
@@arielhermoso4262 Amen. But only this famine could last a little longer
There is a base halfway between Calgary and Vancouver. It was right behind the mountain behind my farm. Few if any know about it. I wonder if that was the one you saw. I feel that when the great equalizing event occurs somehow some of us may end up there.
I have dreams that come true all the time. I wonder if yours will… (or has)
So, the most secret bases the governments don't want you to know about make their way to a Top Fives episode (or a top ten list) then I guess they are no longer "secret" are they?
All the bases are concealed and what exactly is done at each of these bases, is a secret.
So after discussing the Chinese naval base at Yulin, the last image is of Russian Typhoon class subs tied to piers presumably in Severomorsk or maybe Petropavlovsk.
Cheyenne mountain was built in the early 50's.
So what about Israel Nuclear Test Base?
The most secret bases aren't on this list.
D.U.M.B (not a joke 😂) are underground bases used by Intelligence agencies use them along with corporate aerospace companies. (Lockheed, EG&G and others)
There's still things we don't know about and probably never will !!!!!!!!!!!
I know from personal experience one of these sites is literally bland & used for training. If one of these is over hyped, I question all of this info. Lot's of misleading BS out there.

It sounds pretty sure about that emp thing at CMC, my question is how can you be so sure it would survive an emp if it’s never been tested.
Surprise. There is a government agency that does EMP testing on all kinds of things. You might be surprised at the results of these tests. Autos do pretty well. Certain specialized buildings in the banking, finance and insurance industry are well protected. Some bit utilities take EMP seriously. Smaller ones are hit and miss. Home and business computers or anything with long unprotected cable runs not so much. The cables act like an antenna to capture and amplify the EMP. The military tests equipment during development for resistance to all manner or electromagnetic hazards. Anything that can withstand the concentrated electromagnetic emissions of the radars and communications antennas on the superstructure of an aircraft carrier will be highly resistant to EMP. Think about all the antennas and high powered emitters the military uses. Their equipment has to function in a truly harsh electromagnetic environment.

If the government really didn’t want you knowing about it you wouldn’t know about itb
The most secret stuff is usually hidden in plain sight.
None of the governments you talk about keep these bases that secret!
Most of these bases are part of what is called an SAP, meaning that they do exist, but only a top few know and will never disclose it all the way to their graves.
