12 Top Secret Places Owned by the U.S. Government

The USA is a known superpower today, with extreme military capabilities, and defense secrets, operations, and conspiracies. There is so much to be hidden by such superpowers so that such technologies, resources, machines, and weapons do not go into the wrong hands. So where are these top-secret places owned by the U.S. Government? There must be a place, a building, into the dense forest, or dungeons or underground caves and bunkers.

Most of the secrets maintained by the U.S. government are focused around its defense, be it nuclear or weapon R&D. Though some of you might have seen these places on Google maps, photographs on the internet or even worked at these locations, but the majority of the people do not know what exactly happens at these places and what functions are carried out at these locations. These places are inaccessible or prohibited from the common public. These places are heavily guarded and people do not have direct access. We shall explore some of the top-secret places owned or jointly owned by the U.S. Government in this article.

The list of top 12 secret places owned by the U.S. Government:

12. Chocolate Mountain Aerial Gunnery Range

Purpose & Location: Aerial Gunnery Training Area near Arizona and California

 Chocolate Mountain Aerial Gunnery Range

Chocolate Mountain Aerial Gunnery Range is an area of the U.S. military where aerial gunning and bombings are carried out for training purposes. This area was created during World War II, as there was a need for an area for such gunning and bombing practices. This area is restricted to the public and comes under the jurisdiction of both the U.S. Navy and Marines. The airspace in parts of both Arizona and California is restricted and monitored by the military. There is also a controversy which says, the Chocolate Mountains is the house of the world’s largest gold mines not known to many.

Purpose & Location: A Secure Hanger at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio

Hangar 18

Hangar 18 in Ohio is considered to be the house of all the UFO crash materials, debris, aliens, and cryogenic materials. There is no such evidence on this. This can be even a myth. But, the common public does not have access to this location and is considered a top-secret location in the U.S.

Hawthorne Army Depot

Though Hawthorne Army Depot is considered just a U.S. ammunition storage depot of the U.S. military, where ammunition is created, tested, and deployed, but there is also something secretly done at Walker Lake. The secret at Walker Lake is an underground Navy Submarine base. As you pass through Hawthorne, you can see signs which read ‘Naval Undersea Warfare Center’. Officially, Walker Lake is 500 ft deep, which is suitable for a Naval Submarine base? That is a big question and a secret.

8. Camp David

Purpose & Location: A Retreat Location for President of U.S. in Maryland

Camp David

Camp David is a peculiar location for this list. Because, this location is not a military bunker, ammunition storehouse, or any research facility, but serves as a country retreat for the President of the United States. Catoctin Mountain Park map doesn’t disclose the location of Camp David due to security and privacy reasons. This location is inaccessible to the general public.

Similar to Site R, Mount Weather is an emergency operations center but for high-profile civilians like the president of the United States. This serves as a hideout or safety bunkers underground during national disasters such as the usage of nuclear weapons in the country. FEMA National Radio System (FNARS) is controlled from Mount Weather, which is used as an Emergency Alert System. This is used to connect with most of the federal public and U.S. military by the President.

Kirtland Air Force Base

On July 1, 1971, Sandia Base and Manzano Base, which are one of the topmost secret bases for atomic researches, developments, and training bases during World War II, were merged into Kirtland Air Force Base. The atomic and nuclear tests conducted at these locations are considered to be the United States’ top-secret projects and tests.

Throughout the century, there have been many secret projects, missions, experiments, and tests that have been conducted at these two locations.

2. Dulce Base

Purpose & Location: Underground Alien Facility in New Mexico

Dulce Base

Dulce Base is an underground alien base, where experiments on aliens are conducted. This secret location is located on the Colorado-New Mexico border under Archuleta Mesa in New Mexico, United States. There is no evidence whatsoever those experiments on aliens and other UFO activities at these locations are real. Dulce base has been portrayed in many fictions like Area 51 novels and in the 2012 video game Ghost Recon: Future Soldier. We really do not have any proof whether alien activities are conducted at his base or not.

1. Area 51

Purpose & Location: Air Base in Nevada

Area 51

Area 51, also known as Dreamland is considered to be the United States Air Force facility based in Nevada. Though, people know this base as an Air Force facility, the actual purpose of this base is still unknown. This base is one of the top-secret of the U.S. Although, this base was never been declared as a secret base by the Government, all the researches happening at this location is/are a Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS/SCI). The runways and Groom Lake are highly secure and restricted areas at Area 51. Area 51, considered to have many entrances is supposedly conducting many UFO activities underground.

  1. I don’t see a publication date on this “article”, but the Hangar 18 photo is NOT from WPAFB. It is a fairly old shot of Groom Lake/Area 51. Hangar 18 doesn’t even exist at WPAFB any longer. “Dulce Base” is pure fiction as well. Using a stock photo of a tunnel does not prove a damn thing. May I suggest more Youtube for your facts?

  2. Okay. One. I’ve BEEN to that Mesa and if you can explain why there are massive air ducts and antennae on top and on the sides of that mesa, I’d be willing to hear you out.
    Search out the tribe that resides close to the mesa and you might get a tour, as well.
