It would be hard to believe that the US doesn't have another less well-known underground bunker for VIP's.

If the Governement agencies ever vacate this place, it needs to be transformed into a Cold War and sci-fi museum. The place had a huge impact in popular culture and could atract a lot of tourism.

I love the SGC propaganda of "There are no Stargates here", its very in keeping with tradition.

I just want to say thank you for providing quality content over all the years. There are too many channels these days using AI to make shitty clickbait videos.

It would be cool if they had a real Stargate hidden in there.

The unbelievable element of this story is that the American military conducts "cost-cutting exercises".

Um, clearly an ancient ring of alien origin that creates a portal to other rings across the galaxy. You could almost call it a Stargate. 😅

I got to go inside Cheyenne Mountain when I was a 15 year teenager in a tour with my Air Cadets squadron from Regina, Saskatchewan in April 1973. It was a lot of fun! Believe it or not, the Canadian dollar was worth more than the American dollar at that time. It was my first time in the US and it seemed a bit like a magical experience. When we crossed into North Dakota we saw our first state trooper, and he looked just like they do in the movies, ha, ha! It did seem to take forever to get down to Colorado Springs from Regina, an entire day and a half of non stop driving through blizzards in Wyoming and then beautiful warm weather in Colorado. We went through Denver and drove past Mile High Stadium, which I had only ever seen before on NFL football games on TV. We also got a tour of the US Air Force academy and stuffed ourselves like pigs in the Peterson AFB mess hall. All the cooks were black. There were hardly any black people in Saskatchewan 50 years ago, except our football heroes with the Saskatchewan Roughriders. We came back via the Black Hills in South Dakota and saw Mount Rushmore. Quite an experience for a 15 year old and I remember it with great fondness at the age of 65! 👌👀💖🛸

Stargate Command! AWESOME!

No evidence of the stargate? I'd heard there is a door to a broom closet actually labeled stargate command.

Went there in 5th grade! Got to pull open the big door and did a tour of the place. Almost a decade later and I'm on track to being a fighter pilot.

Many US underground installations exist. My father was career USAF, he worked in an underground complex at Offutt AFB in NE. It still exists and is still in service.

Stargate Command?

This will be cool when the Space Force has space battlecruisers and not just some spy satellites.

Gun mouse being input device for their computer system is the most American thing I can imagine lol

Great timing. I've just started my binge of SG1 this month!

You've summoned the fandom. Reporting in 🫡

So, let me get this clear. NORAD was moved to a basement, because it's as much safe as under a whole mountain, but other agencies moved in that mountain, because it's safer there. Cool! It's nice to have priorities.

Always nice have a look inside these places. Thank you

I got to go inside when I was kid. Really awesome experience!

Got a tour in the early 90’s. I remember the huge spring coils and the water reservoir with a rubber ducky floating on it. I got added on at the last minute, security just asked for my social security number. Yeah, the old days.

Very interesting! Thank you for taking the time and interest to do what you do here! It’s much appreciated by many!

Damn I was gonna make the Stargate Command joke... :'( 1:20

PACCS (Post Attack Command & Control System) had “The Notch” a hardened base built inside Bare Mountain in Amherst Massachusetts. It was designed to take a blast of one Megaton one mile away. It was in charge of every nuke in the United States arsenal except the boomer submarines. It was actually in charge during the Cuban Missile Crisis. The Notch came online June, 2 1958

Wow I don't think I've ever been this early to a new video. Always great stuff in this channel.

What's up with the guy with the bloody head sitting against the cave at 0:29 seconds????

I’ve been inside, our Boy Scout troop got to tour it, an amazing place.

I was stationed in there during the early 80s. Was quite the process to get in and out for your shift. Cool building inside and not surprisingly had good food in chow hall. Ah, the good old days of watching exercises that showed how the world would end.

I have an Uncle who was the official space junk tracker guy. He was a LtCol. in the Air Force. He talked all the time about all of the cool facilities inside the mountain.

For people in my particular Air Force job, Cheyenne Mountain was a place desired. It had only been open about 7 years. Sadly, the closest I got was helping to clear out the underground facility in San Pedro and that was before I was even in the A.F. BTW, the scopes shown @13:05 date back to the 50s. They were being decommissioned in the 70s, some were adopted as props you can see in shows like "The Six Million Dollar Man."

Well, besides top content and amazing work on getting to the point, I was amazed by ad insert. This was hilarious!

What's hillarious with any of these structures, is if they were hit, there would be structural compromise and bending, making just about all of these blast doors jam and unable to be open, trapping people inside out side of them. Anyone who's lived in a house trailer or old house that has settled on its foundation pillars over several decades knows this... doors no longer open or close properly.

This is what they want us to believe, but everyone knows this is where they keep the Stargate.

I used to work there back at the dawn of time and I didn't know many of the things you mentioned here. Thanks. Good video.

I wouldn't call that Chinese balloon a kill for NORAD. It loomed over the US and was talked about on the news for more than a week, before it reached the east coast and was then finally shot down.

At first, I filtered out this channel because its name sounded like clickbait, but now it doesn't stop amazing me with so many interesting topics. And 1:20 is so smooth 🙂

Great Video. My Uncle used to be second in command of NORAD back in the mid 80's and I used to live in North Bay when my dad flew fighters. I got a tour of 'The Hole' as an Air Cadet and it was amazing. I was told the old computers still used vacuum tubes and the only replacement source was the USSR.

Very interesting content from a page that continuously posts interesting content. Well done.

Yes, NORAD still tracks Santa. You can usually hear the fun updates on radio stations Christmas Eve. In North Bay, we usually refered to the complex as the SAGE after the Semi-Automatic Ground Environment radar and SAGE System computer network. I believe they used to offer tours. I remember the city used to occasionally test the air raid sirens.

Fun fact, the 2013 movie ‘the colony’ was filmed in the NORAD underground bunker in North Bay, a truly insane complex!

The underground NORAD hole base along with BOMARC nuclear missiles in the 1970s in Northern Ontario Canada. I toured the underground hole in the 1980s and the missiles sites after their removal 10 years earlier. Like Cheyenne it was moved above ground in 2006. It's just a big abandon hole now. Living with in eye site of this complex it proved for an interesting time during the Cuban missile crisis being ground zero in the event of an attack.

Irs quite possible many other countries have similar facilities. For example Yugoslavya constructed an airbase in a mountain so that it could also withstand a nuclear blast. North Korea and Iran have multiple underground facilities of similar scale, and Iran recently finished an underground airbase for their New Su35s. No doubt Russia, China, Britian, France, and perhaps India have similar facilities.

I love your content, keep it up big dog!

12:26 Yes! Was wondering if you were going to mention my home town’s old NORAD military base. 🎉❤

Great video guys! Just one hint: When you mention the floor space taken up by the computers you show an alleged equivalent in metric units, but 11900 sqft are not equivalent to 1.1km². In fact, you are off by several orders of magnitude

You can't fool us, Stargate Command

Back in the '60s there was a show called You Asked For It and the Cheyenne Mountain complex was featured in an episode. I remember those springs being shown.

ah yes, Stargate Command

Nuclear weapons have gotten accurate enough that they no longer carry megaton yeilds, their warheads are usually less than 500 kilotons but they are accurate within about 30 yards

I thought 7:27 was going to be the first instance of gamer rage! Dude looked like he was about to shoot his monitor after losing a game of pong vs someone in Russia or something. 😂

I live right next to this place. It's awesome.

Interesting , Thank You

ok, props for the Star gate reference!

Stupid question in the title. Everybody knows there's a stargate there. It's well documented fact.

In 1976, as a College ROTC Cadet, my Unit was Flown to Ellis AF Base, and a full Tour the AF Academy, a Full Tour of NORAD... In Class in 1976,,, we were taughtthat if Russia landed a 25 ton Nuke,,, Near,,, Cheyenne Mountain,,, NORAD would be Destroyed. Interesting that the Buildings were setting on top of 4' tall Coil Springs...

I wonder if they have that diesel reservoir lined

What's up with the bloody dude at 0:30?

Prefer to call it SGC

Fascinating!

« This is the Cheyenne mountain complex… » Ok then, we’re talking about the Stargate, something the entire world knows thanks to a superb film followed by a great series… (That’s second degree of course. For anyone who wouldn’t get it)

I'll save you 15 minutes, it's actually the Stargate

Damn, time to re-watch Stargate SG-1

Rumor has it there's a door labeled Stargate Sg-1 at Cheyenne. A prestigious storage closet.

The most 1960's american military thing about this is the use of a gun in place of the abundantly more obvious stylus/pen. Like you're telling me you couldn't fit a light inside of a pen? You had to use a handgun?

Nice try, but we all know Stargate Command is here. Showing us the gate and saying it's not really there is just a fakeout.

I have toured the NORAD base ( 22 Wing ) In North Bay Ontario. Its very interesting , sadly closed up pretty much now.

I live in Colorado Springs and work at Fort Carson very close to this Space Force Base. I hope to visit someday.

It's always comforting to hear a Russian A.I. narration of sensitive American Military sites.

It's just deep-space radar telemetry.

I live right by norad Cheyenne mountain Colorado springs. It's not really shut down, there's always traffic up there. Peterson space force is also just a few minutes away.

I love this channel

Bro.. why is there a dead body at 0:30 ?!? 😮

This is probably as close as we'll get to Portal 2's underground laboratory

Sounds like they need to start stockpiling a solar power installation or multiple smaller installations, which can be deployed if the fuel gets used up, or to help with the recovery of other facilities.

I grew up in Denver and every time I drove past this mountain I noticed the massive antenna on top haha

3:20 I didn't know that the WOPR computer was so light. It looks quite massive in that 1983 PR movie about how safe the US nukes are. 🙃

7:20. Playing duck hunt to keep North America safe!

The Truth is an interesting perspective and viewpoint.

Honestly from an engineering point of view, this is pretty awesome!

Everyone knows thats where the Stargate is.

it houses the SGC. we all know that. duh

There are quite a number of hardened military and Continuity of Government sites around the country and overseas. The internet of course was initially developed to provide robust, non-centralized communications in time of war.

That manscaping Ad was insane😅😅

This place could survive multiple direct hits by Nuclear weapons. During Nuclear tests at Bikini Atoll Battleships had no problem surviving nuclear blasts that were less than 100 feet away from ground zero.

There actually is a room marked SGC in the Cheyenne Mountain Complex. It's a broom closet.

That image of a door sliding back at 6:23 is the door over a Minuteman missile silo. It weighs 55 tons and in an emergency can be blasted out of the way.

Imagine if they spent a fraction of the defense budget on welfare, healthcare and education. America could be a utopia instead of a thinly veiled feudal society.

I visited Cheyenne Mt. on business in 1982. Sure would like to see the changes.

The power consumption (and heat generation) should be drastically lower now than when it first opened, due to the efficiency of electronics. Just switching from CRT to LCD displays, and from incandescent to LED lighting, would have a massive impact in their heat generation and electrical consumption.

Avocados! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 That may be the best segue to an ad in RU-vid history!! 😝

Those cool graphics at 11:10 illustrate the forcing of space beneath the earth. Instead of a big banner that asks, "Is this good for the company?" it says, "Space Truths."

I’m surprised that the Canadian discussion didn’t mention the Diefenbunker in Peel, Ontario, which was intended to house the Canadian government but whose secret got out before it was even finished construction and whose protections were similarly outdated within a very short time. The Prime Minister never so much as slept the night there and it was shut down in the 1990s before being turned into a very cool Cold War museum.

11:35 Journalists: leaving the complex Personnel: ok, we can Alt+Tab back to Minecraft now.

As an ex-Montrealer I recognize that voice. Good to hear your voice Joe :)

I lived about 1.2 miles from their front door from 1984 to 1989

I would like to know more about Alice Springs in the very center of Australia, but even being assigned there is classified .

9:55 recently read a book series called "Pandemic, the beginnings" by Bobby Akart. it was a book in which the US experienced a biological attack (as well as the rest of the world) in this series, the united states goverment actually evacuated to first building mentioned, so its interesting to actualy hear about it.

"as far as we know" is a great ending to this video... there is so much technology, weapons, and doings, that we will not have knowledge of for many, many years to come.

the stargate and SG1.. they even made a documentary series about it! haven't you seen it?
