What Are They Hiding Here?
Hello friends!
Today we are diving into the world of forbidden places. I started this video thinking it was going to be a simple, fun video on Area 51 but the more I learned about it, the more invested I got. How the development of the 'Dragon Lady' Lockheed U2 Spy Plane, led to the formation of the Top Secret Nevada Test Site, now known as Area 51. How Project Mogul, and balloons built to spy on Soviet Nuclear Tests ended up causing one of the most famous UFO Scandals in American history. And how the development of Nuclear weapons led to post-apocalyptic contingency plans.
It's my longest video yet on this channel! I really hope you guys enjoy it.
The wait for the next one will be shorter (I promise)!
