Around the world militaries have been responsible for many great technological
innovations many of the things we use every day are
a product of military experiments for example microwaves or the internet
but throughout history there have been some creepy and unexplained military
experiments these have been mysterious and dangerous
and shockingly sometimes the experiments are on you
the public i'm charlie and today we're going to look at the most
secret military experiments caught on tape before we get into it why not

merman we're all aware of the mythical creatures
mermaids it's a concept which is entirely fictional
right in 2015 an incredible video was caught in poland
it showed military professionals in biohazard suits they were dressed in
luminous green and also white they can be seen pulling a mysterious
creature from a lake they then put it on a stretcher and take it away the footage
is only two minutes long was caught by a bystander
as you can see this is not a human being what appears to be a large fishtail is
clearly visible the creature looks like a hybrid of a man and a mermaid
some say this was some kind of experiment crossing human and fish
people did contact the polish military but they said they knew
nothing of the video since this was caught in 2015 no one's heard anything
of the incident since some hypothesized this could be part of
a movie but there were no cameras or crew around
and in the five years since this was taped no film like this has come out
sonic boom this footage was caught in 2007
an amateur cameraman took this in abbotsford british columbia
canada as you can see an incredibly fast moving military jet appears to pass by
but then something unbelievable happens a smoky black circle forms on the back
of the plane this footage was uploaded to the
internet and people quickly identified this plane as an
f-18 super hornet this footage was caught before this variant of the plane
was released f-18s have been flying since 1995 but
this new model was created in 2010. this means the footage must have been of
a secret test of the super hornet but what was the circle of black smoke
coming from the plane well it's known as a sonic boom which is basically a shock
wave this happens when an object travels
faster than the speed of sound this creates an enormous amount of sound
energy similar to an explosion of course this is now public information and super
hornets are used around the world but back then this has not yet been
released operation sea spray operation c
spray is also known as operation lac it took place
by the us navy in the 1950s they wanted to study the behavior of bacterial
clouds on san francisco so 50 gallons of biological stimulant
were secretly sprayed offshore this was made with very harmful
chemicals for example seroty and master sense
over 800 000 residents of san francisco were exposed
and it's believed that at least one person passed away due to the experiment
they later followed this operation up with something called operation
large area in this experiment tons of zinc cadium sulfide were sprayed over
the midwest it's a popular theory now that planes
emit chemicals into the sky it sounds like a crazy theory but as
this experiment shows the us government did actually do this
in the 1950s during operation large area the zinc
cadium sulfide was mixed with radioactive materials
this was then released over the skies of u.s cities one researcher also claimed
that the spray contained radium-226 this is a highly radioactive
isotope and if exposed humans can get very sick
and sometimes even pass away however army documents related to this
remain classified operation vegetarian port and down is
the uk's most secretive and controversial military
research site it's known for its research on bio
weapons and chemical weapons in 1942 scientists from port and down
went to grunard island this was to conduct a secret bioweapon
test 80 sheep were taken to the unpopulated island the sheep were to be
used as test subjects for a dangerous strain of
anthrax this is known as volume 14578
the spores were loaded into explosive and placed on tall poles near the sheep
the devices when detonated caused an aerosol cloud
this then drifted towards the sheep within days the sheep succumbed to the
germs and passed on they were then carried away by hazmat
suit-wearing scientists and taken to incinerators
following these successful tests five million anthrax cakes were made
the uk military wanted to put these in german cities making them uninhabitable
but this plan never went ahead operation teapot operation teapot was a
series of 14 nuclear tests these were conducted in
1955 in nevada usa the largest nuke they tested was a 43
kiloton warhead named linda linda was detonated at the top of a 500
foot tower this was to study the directional air
burst of a large blast on the ground they wanted to see how a small-scale
tactical nuke could be used on a conventional battlefield
the footage is extraordinary and if you went to this area in nevada today it
would still be radioactive the range of this massive cloud reached
a height of 20 thousand feet and blast remnants flew 60 miles away
project dork we've already seen that the us army conducts tests on the public
but it's not just the public who are used as human guinea pigs their own
soldiers are too from 1948 to 1975 the us army conducted
secret chemical tests the subjects for these tests were 7 000
soldiers and 1 000 civilians this took place at the edgewood arsenal
they wanted to investigate incapacitating agents if successful they
wanted to use these as a form of psychochemical warfare against the
soviet union over 250 chemical compounds including bz
and lsd were tested on unwitting subjects and while these tests were
going ahead their reactions were filmed people experienced mental disturbances
hallucinations and loss of self-control in 1975 us congress discovered it was
using human beings as guinea pigs and they promptly shut it down
operation tunnels during the 1970s the u.s military were desperately trying to
defeat the vietcong one difficulty was the vietcong were
great at hiding so that's why they explored chemical options to try and
make the vietcong come out of hiding they experimented with cs riot gas
in tests volunteer u.s soldiers were locked inside a sealed
chamber then when they were inside the cs gas was turned on the soldiers were
not made aware of this gas but we're told it was safe
they also tested these out in the field to see how well they would go down
underground tunnels although they told test subjects it was all safe it was
later proved this was a lie inhalation of this gas can cause
significant damage to the lungs operation cauldron after the second
world war port and down continued making bio weapons for the british navy
they launched operation cauldron this was to test the effects of a weaponized
plague they did this on nearly 4 000 guinea
pigs and 80 monkeys they put animals in cages on a boat and
they floated this off the coast of the isle of lewis in scotland
then scientists released clouds of pneumonic and bubonic plague
after the animals were exposed to this they were taken aboard a support vessel
none of the animals survived this test and that's why the scientists
thought it was a success but they later discovered civilians had accidentally
come into contact with the cloud but thankfully they had no ill effects
meaning their test failed if their test didn't fail this
blunder could have caused mnemonic and bubonic plague to be
released across the entire world secret spy plane in 2014
some aviation enthusiasts were in amarillo texas
there are lots of military aircraft tests coming from area 51 and also other
air force bases in texas this includes amarillo air force base
but in 2014 one group of people caught three
aircrafts they'd never seen before they dubbed these flying doritos some
thought it was a b2 stealth bomber but as you can see the back edge is flat no
one is sure what these are and the air force refused to disclose
anything about them but now it's time to make your voice
heard leave a comment telling me the scariest military experiment on this
