It’s easy to get swept up in the fervent hype of secret alien facilities and shadowy
government organisations trying to keep the wool over societies eyes by hiding the fact
that the entrance to a private swimming pool, is in actual fact--an underground anti-gravitational
bunker.
Or you know, the parking lot for an entire fleet of intergalactic space vessels.
Probably, anyway.
In fact, all across the planet--there are a huge amount of those very same places, similar
in essence to the legendary Area 51--and believe it or not, most of them aren’t a secret
at all.
And strangely enough--in many cases--these secretive, shadowy testing facilities--aren’t
out there in some long, forgotten corner of the desert--but instead, right beneath our
very noses.
So--in that case, let’s take a look, shall we?
Hello internet, what’s going on--and once again, welcome back to the most inquisitive
channel on YouTube--Life’s Biggest Questions.
As per usual, I’ll be your disembodied floating voice Jack Finch--as today, we curiously ask
the question--Are There Other Sites Similar To Area 51?
Roll the clip.
For the curious amongst you, that clip was of course--from Stranger Things Season One--where
a particularly poor and unlucky research scientist got gobbled up by a demogorgon--and while
it’s definitely a fitting cinematic portrayal to set the scene for today’s Life’s Biggest
Question--it’s also relatively important to note that in Stranger Things--the fictional
Hawkins Lab is secretly owned and operated by the United States Department of Energy--an
organisation that you may see popping up quite a few times over the course of this next video.
Hey, I’m not saying that the two are connected--but speculation pretty much comes with the territory,
doesn’t it?
Okay, so--for the most part, this LBQ is going to be quite jam-packed with information, because
believe it or not--there are a metaphorical boat load of mysterious locations across our
fair planet Earth that are as equally mysterious, if not more mysterious--than the USA’s Area
51.
But--whilst we’re on the topic of Area 51, we may as well pick up from where we first
left off, and take a look at the site closest to it.
And yeah--exactly, you called it--it really is as simple as that.
Area 52!
Well--kind of, because although it’s official designation is the Tonopah Test Range--a location
which resides around 70 miles due North-West of Groom Lake and Area 51--Area 52 has affectionately
become its nickname, but I mean--the U.S Government didn’t admit to Area 51’s existence until
2013--so, it’s not outside the realm of possibility that Area 52 *could* be it’s
official designation.
Tonopah is an incredibly interesting place, for the most part--and the technical operations
that are held there have become the basis for some incredibly wild claims.
And who owns it?
Yeah.
The United States Department of Energy.
In some cases, there are those that believe Tonopah is the area where they operationally
fly the aircraft that are based upon alien technology--after they have been designed
and tested at Area 51.
A pretty bold claim, although one that is partially supported by the fact that the same
aircraft that service Area 51--the JANET Boeing 737’s--also fly into Tonopah on a daily
basis.
In fact, William Pawelec, a United States Air Force Computer Operations Specialist,
who sadly passed away in 2007--fervently claimed that Tonopah was one of the most secret, covert
Black Project Air Force Bases in the United States.
He said that it was hiding in plain sight, compared to the secretive nature of Area 51--and
that it’s counterpart, Area 52--housed much more impressive secrets.
So, okay--we’ve got Area 51, Area 52--but what about Area 6?
Yeah.
Although the coveted Nevada Nuclear Test Site does indeed include Areas that stretch between
1 and 30--on paper that is, anyway--the so called Area 6 is an asphalt runway that stretches
for around a mile on the Yucca Flat, which, again is owned and operated by the autonomous
United States Department of Energy.
Hey, I’m not saying anything.
As far as anyone in the know is concerned, Area 6 is an unmanned airstrip--but there
are those that have claimed beneath it’s desert exterior, it houses an array of remotely
operated drones and UVAC’s--that work on the stuff too dangerous for human intervention.
And talking of human intervention, we haven’t even mentioned Dulce Base--the subject of
a conspiracy theory so wild, that it alleges a jointly operated human/alien underground
facility exists beneath the Archuleta Mesa, that lies on the border of Colorado and New
Mexico, near the small town of Dulce, New Mexico.
Since the late 1980s--UFO theorists were so convinced of the bases existence, that many
even claimed they’d witnessed the United States Delta Force in active combat against
a squadron of armed alien special forces.
Errr…
Yeah.
I’m not too sure about that one.
Whichever way you spin it, it’s safe to say that even *with* Area 51--the United States
still has its fair share of other shadowy sites and illicit operations--the majority
of which are often explained away as military relics leftover from the Cold War--which is
an interesting point, because if the USA has Area 51, Area 52, Dulce Base--and all of the
other unexplainable areas--then surely, Russia has to have their own version, right?
Well.
Of course.
But as is often the case, in Russia things are a little bit different.
Ever heard of Kasputin Yar?
Well, now you have--a Russian military facility in Astrakhan Oblast, that lies between Volvograd
and Astrakhan, which was established by the Soviet Union in 1946--and although officially
operated as a missile testing facility--is the source for pretty much every UFO conspiracy
in Russia.
For all intents and purposes, Kasputin Yar *is* Russia’s Area 51--but there may be
an even stranger, and potentially much more secretive aspect of Russian infrastructure
than we may have realised.
The so called Closed Cities, which although exist in quite a large number of countries
across the planet--the largest amount still reside in Russia, where there are rumoured
to be over 50 which still operate to this day.
In Modern Russia, on paper anyway--these closed cities are officially known as Closed Administrative
Territorial Formations, which is as shady as it sounds.
All of them are in the more remote portions of Russia, and all of them are closed off
by barbed wire and armed guards.
Whilst on official record, there are 42 of these cities--where people live their lives
technically separated from the rest of the country and the world--there are countless
others which are rumoured to exist in the far north of Russia and borders of Siberia.
What they’re used for?
Well, such is the nature of their remote location and secrecy.
In fact--all across the planet, in pretty much every country--there are a massive number
of staffed locations whose sole purpose is to keep the prying eyes of citizens far from
their doors.
In the UK alone there are at least a handful.
Porton Down, the Southwick Tunnel, RRH Portreath.
In Australia there is Pine Gap and Swan Island.
In South Africa there is the alleged Kalahari Farm.
Canada has Dwyer Hill.
India has Kongka Pass.
Brazil has Varginha.
North Korea has the incredibly strange and potentially remote Room 39--and don’t even
get me started on what strange and secret locations are lurking in China--because the
truth is, no one knows what the hell their Project WEM is--or where it’s even built.
Uh.
Yeah.
There’s quite a lot.
Well, there we have it folks--our long and short answer to the question, Are There Other
Sites Similar To Area 51?--yes.
Yes, there are--there’s loads.
What did you guys think?
Do you agree?
Disagree?
Have any more to add to this particular notion?
