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.
The Famous Schienenzeppelin
Germany’s excellence in precision is shown by its creation of the Schienenzeppelin – the country’s way to compete with the creation of the first high-speed train. The Schienenzeppelin purportedly is able to travel for 143 miles per hour.
As shown by this recently declassified picture, the Schienenzeppelin had a sleek design that allowed it to travel seamlessly through the air. The aircraft was reportedly smuggled from Germany in 1944.
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.
More Secrets From Area 51
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.
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.
