One thing I noticed while following you over the last 2 years most of all the comments on your videos are respectful and I dig that. Keep up the great work!
This area was part of Project Paperclip after WWII. It was used to test V2 rockets and missiles before congress formed NASA. The rolling buildings were used for engine and liquid fuel tank assembly.
They used to test Pershing Missiles out there... The reason why there are Uranium signs out there is due to the fact that part of the area is used as Uranium disposal.
I've been thinking the same, with RF and sound (though they are recording and can replay anything to associate I'm thinking too if the mic isn't saturated). With particle radiation, the QG-320 pro is what I have and there are better systems. Not a bad idea with those sites since old nuclear weapons testing fallout I've heard is in New Mexico and Texas even with mutant microorganisms... not just in the caves. In regards to RF and sound, I just made an instructable to detect RF more and Sound to see if the sound can be associated with RF DEW's: www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Make-a-Directed-Energy-Weapon-Detection-Sys/
You two are an awesome duo. Love to see father and daughter sharing experiences together. Its something that you will always cherish. Especially as you get older. Thanks for sharing another banger exploration.
@@marstonmallow8202 Dude you just had to take a compliment from a female urbexer to another female urbexer and turn it icky. Don't make me throat punch you.
@@marstonmallow8202 If you hadn't added the "in her jeans" part, it would have been fine. I will cut you a deal, edit the comment and I will delete mine. And no throat punching lolololol
That is a launch facility. The building that moves is called the gantry and it moves out of the way when they are ready to launch the missle or satellite.
I never had a father figure in my life but watching you and your daughter makes my day I love seeing you guys bond over something you both love keep it up xxx I'm a new sub 😘❤️
I thought this one was his wife I saw two other ones I know that the other two were daughters yeah I heard her say that she is his daughter maybe he is divorced
It's an engine testing facility. There's one almost exactly like it in Cleveland Ohio at the NASA Glenn research facility. The engine's would be assembled fueled and then the building would be moved out of the way in case of failure. Too bad you didn't have a chance to see it in operation. I watched a few shuttle engine tests and it's amazing how much power they put out. As far as the security set up. I don't think you would want to get near the place when one of those monsters was running flat out. Can't imagine what it would be like if it blew. Damn cool explore! Thanks! We can view testing from a half mile away but no way can you get in to see the buildings close up. And Emma, I don't know if was your Dad's editing or those jeans but..... well great video anyhow guys!😎
You're exactly right, I used to do some work with General Electric, and was able to watch them test up close at their plant in Evendale, outside of Cincinnati the ground would shake, and the roar was deafening, even with hearing protection, as they tried to break loose from their stands that were bolted to the ground. . There is also a similar facility at Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, I got to watch them test the integrity of jet engine fan blades against bird strikes by firing dead chickens at them from a cannon, it was all very interesting.
@@anthonyhaddix3598 Wow! Chicken tenders! I always wondered how they were invented! Thanks, Ohio does have an extensive history in airronautical research.
@@beepseatsfindingfoodtreasu8756 A very diverse and interesting place to have grown up, from roller coasters on Lake Erie, to Paddle Wheelers on the Ohio, by the way, I think that's how Chicken Salad was invented as well, it all depends on the speed of the fan blades.
In other news, I spent my childhood through teenage years living in Sacramento, CA about 6-7ish miles from Aerojet where missile testing was pretty much a nightly thing, so I could almost sleep through an atomic bomb. I'm almost impossible to wake up!
I think you may of hit the nail on the head when you said about a blast area. Some of those look like a Jet engine or rocket blast wall so it breaks up the exhaust when they test turbine engines of some kind. The reason the buildings moved is because the engines stay mounted and they move the building from over the top of the turbine or propulsion engine of some kind so they can test the engine outdoors
I enjoy your videos. The walls you are asking about are blast walls to stop the gas and fire of launching missals or rockets. The T lighting on the top of the poles are signal lights for overhead aircraft for reference points. Keep up the good work!
I like your how you explain everything your seeing and your reactions are so genuine. You notice everything which is cool. I also think you have a great voice! 😉
Just found your channel and wished I could have escorted you around this place (I used to set up training events in the state and always cleared my trips with WSMR range control and the local Sheriff's office). There's a super cool lady working at the Powell museum who grew up in town and maintains their military history exhibits. She's a great source of info. The area is still managed by the US Army, White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico which sends a maintenance inspection team up there about once a month. The air space can be shut down for training events. Athena Missiles were fired into New Mexico for Weather observations. There's one on static display in the middle of town at the park and its about 40' tall. First Stage boosters were falling into Canyon Lands National Park so, for some odd reason (sarcasm), people complained! There's still remnants of the main post in Green River which you guys may not have realized you drove by on the way past the old Uranium Mine and processing facility. The Launch Facility you guys toured is on one section (square mile) of SITLA (Schools Institutional Trust Land Admin) and surrounded by BLM lands but, its all under lease agreement so, technically, still DOD lands. At this launch site, there's three launch pads but, only the one still has the maintenance building that would roll back after the missile was ready to launch. The round cement structures with all the bolts is the launch pad and the TEL was bolted to it. After the building was rolled back, the missile was raised to firing position. There's another launch complex you guys missed to the west though...Pershing One's were launched there. Next time you go, you need to consider asbestos masks for protection from not only that stuff but, bat droppings and Mica (sp). The three buildings near I-70 are maintenance support and are still on DOD property. One dude keeps breaking in and trying to live out of one of them, called it a church of the open desert or something (he used to be seen around Moab in a wedding dress). Buildings above I-70 were the tracking stations. The uranium tailing are under the protective cap you saw. Reach out if you're still planning trips around Utah, I may be able to at least give you some good maps and ideas. Be Careful and enjoy.
Just a guess, but I would think it's where they tested either early jet engines or rocket thrusters. Could be the movable building provided shade for the engineers, suspended the engine/thruster, and maybe they built the building to weigh as much as whatever they needed to propel. Tow the building back to one end, start up the engine or thruster, and see if it could overcome the weight of the building. It might also be a missile test site. Lay the missile down, move the building over it to provide shade and act as scaffolding, then move it away when ready to test. All I know is it reminds me of the gigantic mobile platforms used for launching the space shuttle, and the round structure looks like it could be for redirecting exhaust as well as igniting the thruster(s). I'd love to know for sure what it was used for.
Omg you guys really got me at the beginning there with the megaphone! I really thought omg there’s actually somebody in there no way!!! 😱 Then was like wait... had to rewind it and rewatch that part and was like oh they got me!!! Hahaha good one guys! 😂😂😂 And cool place! Awesome video! Loved it! 👍🏻
The uranium was cleaned up in the 1980s with a EPA superfund grant. The black lava rock covers the containment cell that holds the uranium tailings. You went in the old uranium mill.
Love your videos Bob and Emma! I stumbled across your channel about a year ago and it's great to see you always try different things and how your presenting has evolved. I'd love to come over there one day as sunny England is getting a bit crowded and we don't have many vast, unpopulated places like you's do. Keep up the good work! 👍
I worked in the defense industry for 3 decades and in a lot of our assembly buildings, the American flag is prominently displayed to remind all employees of who we are doing this all for. I have no doubt that this was a military and/or defense contractor doing work on some kind of propulsion system and/or rocket tech that required heavy lift capabilities. (note: just saw the comment that this was the Green River Complex - My thoughts were confirmed on the type of site this was ;>) )
love the video but you guys have to be more careful. Uranium tailings can contain as much as 85% of its original radiation concentration. Would love to see how the geiger counter reacts there, but if the tailings were deposited above ground the whole area is highly toxic. Both of you need some filtered breathing mask if you want to continue searching areas like this safely. Wish you guys the best n keep these videos coming. EWU IS LIFE!!!!
@@1bigpea Yeah but the highway could of been made after the Uranium tailings were deposited. As much as i love America, i honestly still wouldn't trust the govt to take care of its citizens like its supposed to. Must remember all the nuclear testing they did on inmates n soldiers without even telling them the consequences, Also the Radium girls tragedies. I do atleast give props to the 'Los Alamos National laboratory' in New Mexico for detecting what is probably the biggest international radiation contamination of North America. All because of some radiated Cobalt-60 pellets from the core of a cancer treatment device that originated from the city of Cd.Juarez, Chihuahua.
The moving building is a modified Thor missle service and assembly building. The site you visited is the Green River Army Missle Test Facility. It was used in late 1950's thru the early 1970's to launch and test Army artillery rockets. It is not active and there is no Army or federal presence other than the BLM. It was used in conjunction with the White Sands Missle Test Range. This is not a secret base.
Classified Location: USAF/CIA not area 51 this was more or less a test facility for the parts used in the current jets. Abandoned in 1985 and used for storage and computer processing till 1990 then completely shut down. The tailings are fairly harmless, you should care a geiger counter to be on the safe side. US Govt doesn't care about what they leave behind they take what they can use and nothing more. You should however be careful these places have countermeasures that still may be active. They also stored materials here that required extreme cooling measures hence the huge hvac system. Heavy materials hence the cranes. I don't normally comment on such matters but this one i happen to know about. It is privately owned now you would probably be asked to leave the property rather than be in serious danger.
I found your channel tonight,judging from the comments you have a very interested compassionate fascinated fanbase ..I'm completely obsessed with you guy's.
Hi Emma and Bob your both are looking good. Great job guys as always. Thanks for the great video. I want to thank you both for giving me a great way to the outside world. Love the humour. Made my heart skip a beat lol stay safe love you guys EWU STRONG 💞😎😎🌮
90% sure that the bunker things you show at about 3:00 are artillery/ammunition storage. The storage facilities at all of the army bases I've worked on looked similar. Odds are that also explains the guard shack. I'm gonna guess that this site was a live-fire range.
Very cool vid,my dad was in the air Force and he agrees with some of the other commenters,the first building(on tracks) was a jet or rocket engine testing building and it looked like there was some underground buildings... EWU for life 😎🖖
Yes! Let's put some radioactive rocks not so far but NEAR the water supply! Great idea! Whoever did the layout for that, did NOT pay attention to the warning signs. lol
Always happy when you have a new video for us!! Got me laughing on this one Hahaa!! 😆😂🤣 Ps. You two Emma and Bob are awesome!! 👍🏼👍🏼. I can’t thank you enough for what you do for us viewers that are unable to explore those awesome places you guys take us to!! And a special thank you to the patrons that help make this all happen!!
11:08 like the girl says "what was that?" Possible banshee, spirit Orb and electronic voice phenomena, don't believe me then take another look! Creepy.
I really want to thank u for your videos, they are real and true. You don't beat around the bush. I believe you are the best u tube video maker Thank you
The U.S. Air Force built the Green River Launch Complex just outside Green River in 1964. It was an annex of the U.S. Army's White Sands Missile Range. From 1964 to 1973 the Air Force launched 141 Athena missiles from the Green River complex, near the Crystal Geyser, as part of research to improve nuclear missiles
Those doors are serious! Look at those hinges!! Daaaaaammmnnnn....great video as always guys!!! Thanks so much for sharing and taking the time for us!!!! I appreciate you!!
