Area 51 will forever enter the canon of conspiracy theorists’ diaries as the place where Unidentified Flying Objects Are regularly seen. Some even believe it is a hotbed of aliens being hidden intentionally by the United States government.
This Nevada Air Force Base will continually be cloaked in mystery since the infamous Roswell crash. However, some claim that such flying objects were actually aircraft being experimented on by the government.
The Capture of Saddam
This declassified picture is of Iraq dictator Saddam Hussein when United States forces captured him in his underground hideout. This was the same photo reportedly sent to the United States president to confirm that the mission of the United States military was a success.
Saddam was captured by United States forces on December 13, 2003, via the mission named “Operation Red Dawn.” This dramatic operation – the codename of which could double as a movie title – allowed the military to find him crouching in a small underground bunker in ad-Daer, Iraq.
Classified Military Bases
Thanks to the declassification of a ton of Central Intelligence Agency documents, a slew of pictures have been made available to the public. Besides the popular UFO pictures, the United States government also released images of underground military bases.
Apparently, such bases were previously utilized as strategic strike locations when the United States was warring with the Soviet Union during the Cold War era. The government claims such bases are no longer in operation and have been abandoned – or at least that is what it wants us to think.
Hiroshima After the Bomb
This declassified picture is more chilling than the images of Fat Man, or the bomb as it was being made, or the trial nuclear tests done in the Pacific Ocean. Seen in this image are the actual real-life results of the nuclear bomb on people – namely children.
As seen in this child, severe scars and burns are evident on the skin. As a Hiroshima atomic bomb survivor, this image shows the dangers of nuclear weapons.
Nuclear Waste Facility
High up in the mountains of Yucca, in Nevada, lies a facility that is considered a top-secret location, the details of which have not yet been revealed to the public – nor will it ever be. The place is extremely highly classified and few people know its specific location.
The facility is where all of America’s nuclear wastes are stored. These radioactive materials are kept in this location once it is of no use. It is not clear how the staff manning this facility keeps itself safe from all the radiation – we hope they are properly protected.
