Secret Underwater Bases: Beyond Area 51 | Ancient Code
While many of us know about Area 51 and Dulce Base, the truth is there are more secret bases than you could ever imagine. Three years ago the CIA finally admitted the existence of Area 51, but many people around the world already knew about it and the mystery and secrecy behind it. Area 51 is just one of the many out there, but interestingly, most secret bases aren’t constructed on land, but deep under the oceans.
Creating underwater bases is probably much more efficient than creating them on land. For starters, it’s nearly impossible to find an underwater base, unless of course you know its location and have the equipment to get there.
Research into the feasibility of underwater bases began nearly 50 years ago. In 1968, the Stanford Research Institute alone discussed the construction of dozens of undersea bases across the globe.
The study entitled “Feasibility of Manned In-Botton Bases,” proposed a series of locations and plans to construct some of the most incredible underwater bases mankind had ever (not) seen.
According to a study written by T G Warfield and L R Parkinson, from the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics. In 1968:
The construction of thirty manned in-bottom bases within the ocean floors is technically and economically feasible. However, it will be necessary to establish some successive types of experimental facilities before a full construction program can be started. This could take 15 years. The major technology for a land-linked station in bottom is established now; only adaptations are needed.
The remaining experimental phases will require further development of equipment and techniques applicable to remote sea access. There are useful assignments for a succession of three experimental stations other than advancing in-bottom construction techniques. Science and engineering concerned with the oceans and their resources will be furthered and military tests of undersea base functions complimenting deeper operations can be accomplished. The costs of the experimental phase, called here a demonstration program, can be surprisingly modest: approximately one-half billion dollars spent over 15 years.
