I was a Security Specialist in the US Air Force in the early 1980s and I still have some secret things I saw, can't explain and never talked about as well as some funny and few weird/scary events while on base perimeter patrols. But the craziest one was a secret spy exchange with a Soviet spy I was never meant to witness. Love these stories. They bring back memories! Great job!

After serving in the NAVY during Vietnam my dad was approached twice with the offer to join the CIA. He turned it down, later telling a friend; "Are you kidding, do you know what those guys get into?"

I was stationed at Campbell in the late 90’s as a Medic with 2/502 Infantry, and yes, a lot of ‘secret squirrel’ stuff goes on there. I will neither confirm nor deny that I was involved in, or witnessed any of them. That said, I will say that the “blacked out” (sterile is the term) soldiers were Delta operators, who train there a lot with the 160th SOAR (Nightstalkers) and 5th group Special Forces (green berets). We trained with them as well. They have a complete different set of rules than the conventional Army, and also have all the super high tech toys years before it starts to trickle down to rapid deployment units like I was in with the 101st. They more than likely were monitoring base radio frequencies while looking for the crash themselves and scrambled coms when they heard that radio transmission.

For Jimmy, they rushed his progress for the upcoming 101st deployment (He was in 1-101CAB). While at the range they were conducting maneuvers and flight movements he was not ready to do yet with his experience. Sadly the crash happened and ended their lives quickly. I'll always remember that night we lost them. Command was held accountable and replaced.

Actual unexplainable military stories are the best. Always. Because they're real and there's more than enough of them to tell for decades.

I was in ROTC in 1972, and we used Ft Campbell extensively for training. Late one afternoon we were waiting to be picked up and flown into a remote area of Ft Campbell by helicopter, when we received word that one of the helicopters had crashed while practicing that night's exercise. That was a wakeup call for me; life in the military could be dangerous, even when training. I grew up near there; and yes, the Fort was huge and at night, pitch black. Great stories; keep them coming! And Thank You

Keep adding the short stories. Luke, sorry for your friend Jimmy; he sounds like he was an awesome guy. 🙏

in the mid-70's there was an old mobile home parked out in the booneys close to the restricted area where nobody could pass. we used to land there and buy beer and snacks until one day one of our 0H-58 scout helicopter with a pilot and the crew chief landed, bought lotsa beer, got drunk, tried to fly, and crashed in a river. we found them because the small corner of the stabilizer was sticking up out of the water and we could see it. they were still in the aircraft. when the crash investigators arrived they rushed us out of there right away and told us not to talk about the crash. two weeks after this all the crew chiefs involved in the search were called in to the SGT> Majors office and were told that they (the Army) were building up a new aviation unit in Hawaii and that we were going...two of us also got promoted. what crash...

The extra story during credits is awesome!! Its always fascinating hearing stories from someone else’s experiences! Thanks for sharing and sorry about your friend Jimmy…

This was utterly captivating and compelling beyond words. Storytelling at its best.. Well Done WS.. Well done..

I have been aware of the significance of Oak Ridge since I was a small kid. My parents were both stationed in Los Alamos, NM during WW2, which was also part of the Manhattan Proj. My father went to college on the GI Bill and he and my mother briefly lived in Oak Ridge after he graduated. We lived in OR for a year in the early 70's also, before moving back to Paducah, KY. My ex and I lived in OR in the early-mid 90s where he worked at Y-12. It was, and probably still is a very secret city. Great video. I'm a new sub looking forward to the next installment of your Ft. Campbell series.

I love this channel and don't change a thing! I've had military men in my family from my grandfather in the UK & when my father came over, went into the Army. My Uncle fought in the Battle of the bugle and my late husband was in Vietnam. So I know allot of stories. Excellent stories you put out and I don't miss a one. Thank you and stay safe!

This was an awesome story. I know of Jimmy. He came from 3D Rad and became an Apache pilot. It was only a matter of time before something like this happened, and it unfortunately happened to him. His death angers me and was completely unnecessary. Anyways, I just found your stories yesterday and I like them. Keep them coming and Semper Fi.

This dude’s voice is the stuff of legends.

Hey Brother, I'm a US Army veteran, and ironically I was deployed to Honduras from Ft. Bragg, NC, for operation Ahuas Tara '88 from January '88 until April '88. I was an aviation electronics technician and we were there to support the Corp of Engineers, and then the 82nd Airborne during Operation Golden Pheasant, when the Nicaraguan Santanistas decided to cross into Honduras. It was an interesting experience, to say the least, but I was glad to do my little part. Thanks to all of those who serve, and those who have served. I enjoy your channel and I'm glad it came up on my recommended videos list. Keep up the good work.

My son and his friends listen to your channel religiously. I am new to it myself, but im already telling friends and sharing your stories. Your voice is incredibly fitting and intoxicating to listen to.

I guess most Army bases have strange stories and legends floating about, about it. The one I heard about at Ft. McCoy, Wi, in the early 80s was phantom, rogue Cubans, who had been placed there from the Mariel Boat Lift, escaping into the woods and living off the land and empty bldgs, that were used by Guard and Reserve troops in the summer. You might get a call at 0300 hrs at night, and hear a door slam and feet running away from one of the empty bldgs. Kind of spooky, eh?

We’re here for the stories. Short or long. I’m sorry for the loss of your friend. From one aviator to another, Blue skies, Jimmy.

Loving this channel. The fort campbell ones are especially captivating. I also enjoyed the little story during the credits. Reminds me of the time that me and my brother made a little go cart out of an old wagon and a weedwhacker motor. We jerry-rigged a couple poles over the top of it, so we could get a tarp on it, and drive it in the rain. Almost killed ourselves choking on two-stroke gas fumes lol.

Hidden cities are not new nor something only the US government does. In the days of the Soviet Union, there were many such cities that were called "closed cities" that either are not shown on any maps or were deliberately located on the wrong latitude and longitude. These closed cities could not be referred to directly which led to some strange naming practices reporting on events such as a disaster at a location. For example, the Kyshtym disaster which was the world's first nuclear disaster (and 3rd worst in history following Chernoyl and Fukushima) that occurred on Sept 1957 in a closed city of Chelyabinsk-40. It was named Kyshtym Disaster because the nearest non-closed town was Kyshtym.

Your 1st Fort Cambell story was great. See I was an AF Brat but I grew up around AF bases that were close to Army Bases or Posts as some would call them. For example Ramstein AFB lived in a village 10 clicks outside of the base. Dear lord even 6 odd miles out you could still hear the C-5's and C-141's refuel as if they were right outside your bedroom can any kid sleep through that? My condolences if you've ever had to live with that regularly as well. Yet back to my topic, being around Army/AF bases a lot growing up and hearing your descriptions makes me think of my childhood and teen years. When you were in The Military I hope you got to live in Europe for at least a year, for me it was an eye opening and mind opening experience for 4 1/2yrs. living off base. I was around K Town Base, Volgaway, Sembach,Landstuhl Regional Medical Center, etc. so I came into contact skateboarding around the area with a great deal many members of the service. All very cool. I sure as hell wouldn't be the same person I am today if I didn't live in Europe. So over all you read these stories well and it shows you care, respect, and try to improve on your craft when you look up certain words to say them correctly. Looking forward to more Wartime from you and Bedtime Stories from the other other person who tells them. Peace hope you have a happy Holidays. I am sorry for the loss of your friend. Ah listening to the end reminds me of the connection probably don't know about between Iran/Contra and The Franklin Cover Up which was a very very sick and atrocity level ring(probably still being run by various shadow factions in The U.S. Government).

My husband was stationed at Fort Campbell. That’s where we met. My dad, a retired SGM lives on Kentucky Lake. That whole area is really freaking creepy. I grew up living on a lot of different posts and I can tell you that Fort Campbell is in the top 3 creepiest Army posts state side. Fort Benning is another one.

The shape of that strange craft at the end, diamond shaped with a flame coming out of the bottom, I wonder if that was the object involved in the Cash-Landrum incident.

A fast moving bright light that can put preform anything we can put in the air is both fascinating and existentially terrifying at the same time. On another note Awesome story & Sorry you and your team almost got gassed by some reservists. Knuckle dragger indeed.

Our son was stationed here for 4 years in the late 90's to the early 2000's. He told me there was a lot of bad Ju Ju there but never went into detail

Late 80s, blacked out uniforms with no insignia other than the American flag ,arrived in trucks to a secret crash site to dispose evidence,Robert and his friend met with delta force on that night

Back in 1988, my then husband Doug got sent to his first assignment after AIT to Ft. Hood, Texas, to the newly formed ATB (Apache Training Brigade). The main issue at that time was how badly the Apache REALLY didn't like to stay in the air. Many guys died while they were working out the "kinks" on the damn thing. Doug ended up getting sent to Kuwait not long after the brigade got sent over to Germany. He never told me at the time how close they actually were to the front line because he didn't want to worry me. The wives of the "higher-ups" kept stressing how important it was to send our spouses a letter every other day to keep our husband's morale up. Me being an ignorant 20 year old with 2 kids under 2 years old didn't understand why it was soooo important to write a letter every other day when I was busy raising two babies--alone--a thousand miles from any family. I was so naive. When Doug got back and explained exactly how much danger he actually was in I don't think I let go of him for 2 days straight. He brought back home with him all 82 letters I sent him. After we divorced, he kept them and when our oldest daughter was 13 years old and old enough to understand their significance he gave them to her. Military life is so insulating and I don't think people understand how well the military wives really protect each other by checking in, being available, and just being a sounding board because we're all in the same place in our lives. I don't think people really realize how important that is. Thank you for your wonderful videos.

I have a story about my time in USAR. After my 4 year's active,I re- enlisted for active reserves. During summer of 86,we did our 2 weeks active duty at Tobyhanna army Depot, just outside of Poconos. The middle weekend infantry training we did at Ft. Indiantown Gap, just outside of Harrisburg. The weekend was absolutely miserable,rained the whole time. I,3 others soldiers go picked for KP back at Tobyhanna and couldn't wait for hot showers and chow,long before rest of unit arrived later that evening. I being the driver,we loaded up our gear in a M151 Jeep. Soft top and no sides. The to females were on rumble seat in the back. We wheeled out on interstate 81 headed North. I put the pedal tight to the floor and held it to the floor the entire trip.100+ miles easily. The speedometer only goes to 60 in those old jeeps. I had the needle bouncing between the letters mph at the 6 o'clock position. It was still misty and raining,but we/ I was on a Mission. LoL. Anyone who has ever driven the old M151 knows why they were loved by the GIs. I wish I had one now

Really glad you seem to be keeping the Fog of War opening. This vid was worth the wait!

To be honest, I wouldn't doubt what you say is true, I often wonder what All service men and women have experienced, during wartime and peacetime. As a kid of one of these military peeps all I know is that I believe you.

Interesting story. Keep the it up. I have friends that were deployed to Honduras during that time period, after the airfield was built anyway. I wish all of it would get declassified. A lot of good people put in a lot a thankless work during the cold war down there. I'll bet there are a lot of good stories to be told.

Fort Campbell was my old stopping grounds. Never saw it much because we were deployed half the time. Add another 7 months of 9-11 security and JRTC training. Never felt Campbell was haunted. Can you confirm the story about the Vietnam era KIAs cars still being left at Campbell storage. That blows my mind.

That small town in Tennessee at that time during WWII housed 200k people. it used more electricity than the entire city of New York on any given night. And no one knew a thing...

Never been in the military, but my girlfriend did 10 years in the army. This sort of stuff is fascinating, and I'm constantly doing a balancing act of being curious what she's not able to tell me and respecting her by not asking stuff I shouldn't

This is my favourite kind of story, I love stories of government secrets. This is on par with Skinwalker Ranch in my opinion. Brilliant

I love the short story afterwards. I served in an active Airborne unit in Vicenza Italy 3/325 ABCT Airborne Battalion Combat Team. I ETS'd in 92 and when I was in Iraq I could tell a Marine Humvee by the side exhaust pipe. Thanks for the stories brother

Dad never did say much about anything, but when I did ask him questions it made me cry a bit but I needed to know regardless, better than the media at the time.

This channel keeps getting better and better. Outstanding

I could honestly listen to this guys stories all the time.

I was off the coast of Nicaragua in the early 80s, when big Ron was on TV saying we had no ships off the coast of Nicaragua. The mess decks erupted in a full volley of laughter. Those were the days.

My grandson was at Ft. Campbell. Thank you for your service. I truly hate to hear of people losing their lives, it's bad in wartime but so sad when it happens here in the states on bases.These are very interesting stories.

As someone that would sit for HOURS listening to stories from my WWII vet Grandpa, I love hearing your own stories at the end of these.

Awesome voice on this guy, reminds me of Sam Elliot. I grew up downstream from Oak Ridge so this is very interesting. I really appreciate the short personal stories in the credits! Carbon monoxide is no joke, glad you're still with us.

Spectacular but I’d expect nothing less!

These story's and finding out you are ex military brought back a lot of memories from my time in the army infantry some normal others not so normal lol keep up the good work

Thank you for the pics with your story!!! Theine you tell of your buddy Jimmy. Sounds like you two were more like family than friends!!!

Nice job Luke! great narration!! 😺🍻👌

"DUE TO THE POTENTIALLY CONTROVERSIAL NATURE OF THIS EPISODE IT SHOULD BE UNDERSTOOD THAT WHILE THIS IS BEING PRESENTED AS A TRUE STORY THAT IT IS BEING TOLD PURELY FOR THE PURPOSE OF ENTERTAINMENT." You had my interest, now you have my attention.

Thank you for sharing your stories and memories of your brothers. So long as we keep them in our hearts, they will live forever.

Another great video Luke! I have to say, I like the sound effects, which is unique to your channel. In fact, it's more like an old time radio program with visual effects added. And I was overjoyed to learn that there will be a part 3.

My husband and I got turned around in Knoxville and ended up driving right up to the gates of Oak Ridge Nuclear Plant. Trust me, they don't appreciate that.

Well done! I thought I saw a UFO while deployed to Iraq in 2005, but I'm sure it was just a weather balloon.

You know what all I want for Christmas is... A new episode of Nightshift/Fort Campbell...

I was definitely expecting that the pilot would be an alien. Glad it wasn’t though as the proposed explanation was much more interesting.

I don't know about anyone else but I love your short stories. Keep up the good work. Your channel is wonderful and awesome. God bless you and your family. Tobby

The additional after credit stories add a nice personal touch to the vids, I enjoy them. I vote to keep it when the desire arises.

This channel is the best. Thank you, Luke and everyone else involved in production of these videos!

Thank God! I've waited feels like forever for part 2. This is so so well done.

I'm really glad you decided to keep the fog of war intro, after reading a lot of the comments on the last video. Also, I do like the end-credit stories. keep up the narration style, your pacing is excellent! happy holidays as well

Seems pretty straight forward to me. US military was training Honduran military on our equipment. Our involvement in Honduras was classified and I never heard of Operation Golden Pheasant. Men in black were probably Delta Force who (then) were so classified that the government denied their existence (even though everyone knew especially from Hollywood movies like Delta Force starring Chuck Norris wearing the same kind of uniform). Seeing as you stumbled upon their exercise and their top secret nature they would have been in the right to dispose of you if you didn't follow their orders. Shift commander knew and was testing your ability to keep a secret. Cut and dry special, classified military ops.

Born, raised and currently still live in TN..never knew about the city of Oak Ridge, TN. being a hidden military city..wow

Crazy they’d shoot someone on their side over some bs.

These Fort Campbell stories are amazing Im addicted to them

The illustrations are awesome, keep putting the little details in for us to find. It really puts us in the story!

The last Fort Campbell episode was great. I can't wait to listen to this one!

The way you do the Fog of War intro makes you sound a lot like the narrator for Alan Wake American Nightmare. Love it. Before Lack would've gotten half of what he said to the Colonel out, I'd have face palmed, turned to him, and said "Lack, let's go. There's clearly nothing here." while giving him a face that made it very clear that I was walking away whether he joined me or not. I know, abandoning a fellow soldier but hey, a bit of an extreme situation. Plus I'm pretty sure he'd have gotten the message and came with me anyway. Not gonna lie, when you gave us that cliffhanger, I instinctively shouted "Fuck you" XD Nothing personal or malicious. Just a knee jerk reaction to a cliffhanger...I really hate cliffhangers lol Honestly, you don't really need them cause I know all of us will instantly consume whatever your latest video is the moment it comes out because the quality of what you do is just too damn good. Anyway, epic video as always and I'll be very anxiously awaiting the next one.

Excellent video, and very gripping tale! I can't wait for the next installment. Thanks, Luke, your work is amazing.

You do an incredible job with these videos. Thank you so much for all the hard work brother! It really shows. Just perfect👌

I was stationed at Ft Campbell from June 1988 to Dec 1991, i was deployed to Saudi in Aug 1990 as well as Honduras in Feb 1989 to Jun 1989. In Hondo we were stationed at Soto Cano for task force Southern Eagle 3, we had a Medevac Bird go down in Guatemala on May 16, 1989. While there at Soto Cano we saw all sorts of Black ops stuff come thru the airport. I Even got to see a Russian HIND D helicopter land after it had defected. That is a wild looking bird! Love your series about Ft Campbell :)

That was an incredible video, the bonus story at the end I thoroughly enjoyed as well. Keep those great stories coming!

I only hate having to wait for the next part. I'm all in on this one! Appreciate the content and the personal stories

Cant wait for part 3.this is a great series keep them coming man.

I currently work in the back 40 so I'm excited to hear this

Commercial break. My nostalgia, thanks for that! Less jarring then the usual ad breaking in. Kudos!

Amazing episode, LOVED the story at the end, and God bless you and all our service men and women. Thank you brother 🍻

I have only good things to say about this episode, every bit of it. Excellent :) Love your voice too and the little Twilight Zone reference, which is kinda what this show and Bedtime Stories already is. I miss those shows and this channel will be the replacement of good old, cozy TV time for me.

I'm sorry if I said the name wrong in the story that would be awesome if you could do it, It's A-war time story of private Francis Wall, During the Korean war fighting in the iron triangle I believe it was in 1951. They were shelling a enemy village full of Chinese, When a UFO came out of the mountains And went over the town being shelled but with no damage to the ufo,They fired armor piercing bullets and they could hear it striking the UFO but then it attacked them with It's beams of light that made their hands look like an X-rays and they became sick and weak, They ran for their bunker but began throwing up and could not move they had to be evacuated by the army a few days later when they were examined by the doctors Their white blood count was through the roof as if they were exposed Ito super high levels of radiation If you could do a story on that it would be much appreciated thank you.

Been in the military for 19 years and have had and seen strange stuff as well

How is the wartime stories comment posted 22 hours ago if the video was posted a milla second ago 🤔 “ bedtime intro starts playing ”

love those kinda after vid short stories you tell. almost as much as the video stories themselves. especially the ordering pizza one while full camo and in the middle of the night lol

I really enjoy this. All of it. Hair raising, fascinating, including any extras you wish to throw in, I will listen to the end for all of it!

I just want to say that I have never been interested in hearing about wars and their stories, maybe because I’m a girl but not to say that all girls feel this way However, listening to these stories now has me completely addicted thanks to you and your stories. I love to see a new one pop up. The story you told about the hero (sorry don’t remember his name), the last part of the story actually brought tears to my eyes. Anyways, please keep posting new videos, and just as a side note, loved the colored images.

The random short stories are great (as is the primary story) regardless of different branches, a lot of us can relate to the mentality!

Hey Luke, I found your channel a couple years ago then lost it. Recently I came across it again. This time I'm subscribing so I don't lose it again, it's very enjoyable and well put together, your narration, you're sound effects and the humanity of your stories are just well executed, including guests stories. Please keep it up. I"d like to see/hear more of this material that you put up. Because it truly is one of the prime sites on RU-vid.

Hey brother Very good video! Keep them coming! And after seeing that I realized why my battalion was not given " official recognition " for going down there in 88. I was 2/5 Wpns Co. , and I remember being told it was a " training deployment " 😐

Dude share the stories. It's how we remember our friends, brothers/sisters in arms.

Great series of stories luke, can't wait for the next episode. Prayers for your mate fella he was a hero!! God bless and thanks for the short stories.

Another great episode Luke! 👍🏻😃 please keep the post credit stories… they are a unique part of the channel & most interesting and enjoyable. RIP Jimmy. 💙

Your adventurous stories keeps us thrilled but not your journey which must have been very hard in reality. You armies all over the world fills our heart with pride.

You really think super secret divisions would be a bit more tactful when it comes to dealing with outside personnel, that way, you don't piss anyone off and have to answer any awkward questions. Personally, if I was OC of that team, I'd have said to the two "Thanks awfully for securing the scene, chaps, we'll take over from here. Oh, no need to file a report or anything, we'll square it up with your boss, need to know, hush hush, you know how it is.."

Really well done episode- lot of efforts there. Keep ‘em coming, enjoying the ride 👍🏻

My husband is stationed at campbell, and we had a snow day today so decided to watch these fort campbell videos and are captivated and a little terrified to go fishing in the backwoods again

I've just started listening here within the last few weeks. I am seriously enjoying this channel, the stories and especially your life experience stories. They give me an idea of what my Dad could have experienced during his time in Vietnam. I particularly like the two stories in one video deal that you gave with this one. Thank you for this.

I was assigned to work Range control on Campbell for a while so I got to go out and check some things out from time to time. There are some old bunkers out in the back of the training area. Old AHA's or ammo holding areas. I was told that back in the day that they kept nukes there. Is it true? Hell if I know but it's a cool story.

Love these stories and the extra story at the end credits. My dad has a few funny stories from his time in basic training as a marine but it's my grandpa I really want to hear about. He served 2 tours in Vietnam and always tells me I don't want to hear about it. Still great stories can't wait for the next one

Love the stories! Keep up the great work 👍 from a former UK Royal Marine ‘per mare per terram’

Excellent story as always! Really enjoyed the main story and the short story about your and Jimmy's adventure.

26:00...I’m almost sure that “arms” aren’t the only thing that the gov’t was dealing back then

New to the channel but really enjoy the after credit stories. Your own perspective and experience of your time served. I have family and friends either in or retired in all services of the military and I always enjoy their stories and respect their sacrifices. And to you as well! Thank you for your service and the stories you share
