I miss these types of 90s documentaries. Well written, excellent narration, concise information, to the point. All around great.
yeah, they always had the same voice too, weird
Unbelievably that is is going on
I went to Cheyenne Mountain High School. You could look up and see NORAD from the back windows of the school.
I remember sitting in classes in the 1980’s and looking up at it and thinking, “I won’t feel a thing”.
Because NORAD was target number one for the Soviets. What a crazy thing for a teenager to think about. But very real.
Had a similar feeling were I loived in London; Northwood hills, Northolt airport, Heathrow..etc, etc. Plus the ones on centre & north London. Get ready. We were screwed. Love to come to Colorado.
@Frank Morris We actually had drills in our school where we’d all have to race to the gymnasium and lay on the floor face down. The gym was built into the side of a hill and also had 3’ thick concrete walls and could supposedly withstand a Hiroshima sized blast. But by the 80’s hydrogen bombs were the threat and we wouldn’t have stood a chance. We still did the drills anyway.
@Frank Morris mane so very true!! All of the major terriost attacks and whatever else are more than likely created by OUR GOVERNMENT TO INSTILL FEAR IN US SO THAT WE CAN BELIEVE WE NEED THEN FOR PROTECTION AND EVERYTHING ELSE FOR THAT MATTER!! ITS FUCKIN SICKENING AND WE ACTUALLY BELIEVE AND DEFEND THAT SHIT!!! SMFH VERY SAD!!!
cheyann mountain was a scary place to live knowing that Russia could target it and lolol you wouldnt really know until it was to late!! they maybe safe inside, most people outside of the cheyann facility would be something right...not good somethings
@@scriptorium-in-candelight That’s what I meant by saying I wouldn’t feel a thing. I probably would have seen a flash for half a second and then lights out. I hate thinking about it to this day.
I was working for a while at a secure facility that controls communications across the world. We were in communication with NORAD, NATO, and others.
All was 'live'. The technology was incredible and made our work easy and effective.
There is no movie out there that can compare to the reality.
All those places are run by true professionals. We were aware of everything going on anywhere on the planet. If it could affect the security of NORAD or NATO, we knew.
Every day, sometimes more than once, I got to talk with other staff at places like Cheyenne Mountain. I got to see deployments against many enemies, against spy planes, and to assist other countries in times of crises.
The only drawback; I could not, then and now, talk about any details. And yet, for an old geeky nerd, this was heaven. We had such nice 'toys' to play with. We did make a difference, even if the world will never hear about it.
They say what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, I come back SINGING like a bird 🐦
I got to tour this facility in 2013 when I was an Honorary Commander for the Air Force. It is absolutely astounding that this was built and the work they do is equally impressive. This place is huge. It has two acre sized ponds inside it and is 5 stories tall! Every person that works there knows that if they are in the facility and there is a nuclear attack on it, they will survive but never see their loved ones outside.
i assume this is why there is a network of high speed trains underground. essentially government would continue regardless of the state of the outside world or the status of a particular base.
How many stories is the Denver Airport by chance? Also, the Coloroado Springs underground base is next to Norad, did they let you tour that as well?
Yeah big thanks to the government to leave citizens out in the cold to die , while biden sends tens of billions of dollars to ukraine.
Thanks for sharing that Thomas, that is an awesome experience. I am so jealous!
Ooooo, please tell us more about your career!
I worked in NORAD Northbay for 6 months. Everyday we would take the bus into the mountain. What I found amazing was in the early years they needed complex cooling systems and then in the 90s they had to install central heating systems. All due to the transition from tube technology to integrated electronics.
Not just the electronics, it has to do presumably aswell with it being installed inside of a mountain where there’s no ventilation. What happens when sunlight hits concrete? It gets hot, so you’d assume with all of the electronics in such a remotely dense location would be the reason for such complex ventilation systems
@@MrPilgrim NORAD Northbay was well underground deep enough not to be influenced by outside weather and sun, yes they had a complex ventilation system. The major influence was the transition from tube technology to integrated circuits and transistors.
@@brianjohnston9822 Deep enough to survive multiple direct hits?
@@Casper1907 nope, that is why they shut it down. NORAD HQ was built into the side of a mountain, Northbay was built downwards which made it too prone to flooding.
U
It is good that NORAD monitors the skies and space above our planet.
I remember the time when kids were taught to get underneath their desks if they were at school if a nuke attack were to occur. I was one of those kids.
My grandfather was one of the engineers that worked on NORAD back when they were developing/building it. This was so cool to listen to!
No he wasnt
@@Ramseyuddin-ml8qo he was, actually.
@@thequeenbeee I believe you now.
I got to go inside Norad once when I was a kid. I was in middle school I think eigth grade. I was a part of a small group of two or three students from each middle school in Pueblo CO. We were picked by our science teachers. We got to go on a bunch of really cool field trips and stuff and this was one we went on. I think it was our first one actually. It was really cool. I was grateful to be picked. I dont remember much about it. The huge double blast doors. The drive into the mountain. I remember after first walking in through the blast doors the small buildings right inside that were on huge coil springs to absorb shock in case of a blast. I remember walking around and them explaining how they could lock themselves in and last for a long time because of the indoor reservoirs of water. We walked by one it was creepy to think of how deep it might be and how dark. And we got to see a command center for a moment. It was all a very cool experience that I will never forget. Oh yeah the group was called PYN it was an acronym for Pueblo youth naturally.
@@firstdayversion1015 good for you buddy. Thats impressive.
@@firstdayversion1015 But apparently you never managed to find the CAPS LOCK off function...
I worked in Norad in the early sixties test drilling to determine the " integrity" of the mountain. This was an awesome place to work that few people knew about.
Tell me more mr.
What would happen if someone read your comment and found where you live and demanded to have all your knowledge about this place?
@@tanker7757 Thank you!
Jerry its a melted building dumb ass Wake up.
@@chiefjoesph9174 Hey fool. I have no idea what you're talking about. Just "shut up!
I was already working underground in a sister project in Canada while that one was under construction in 1965. I was doing a project using the very latest vacuum tube computers of the time and using punch cards for data entry. Anyone remember that? In those days, nuclear war was very much on everyone’s mind. We used to wear dog-tag-like radiation monitors at all times. Seems like it was just yesterday.
I still wear radiation detectors in my work. Some things don't change with time.
Yep I began studying binary code at UMass,Amherst 1975. 0 and 1 s on punch cards
I was the last person working for a large insurance company to use punch cards. And I know what the #'s on each card are used for. Not fun when 1000 cards hit the floor...
Grateful for your support. 🙏

I worked there from 1990-1993, loved being there. It was a great base to be at.
They help Santa durint his journey every year! Thank you to all the volunteers at Norad for that! It makes all the kids happy!
Wonderful documentary! So disappointing though that they failed to mention the sub basement levels that house the Star Gate and it's related endeavors.
this documentary is old, SG wasnt a thing back then (I think).
Lol
Star Gate? Where did you hear that?
@@Captain-Awesome there was leaked video...
Mmn
My late father worked on "The Dew Line" which was the precursor to Norad.
i feel bad for him
Glade those guys are there !!!! Thank you 😊
One of my best three year assignments inside the mountain. Truly a remarkable place and so much more than shown on this documentary about the infrastructure and additional tunnels.
is there a bar? LOL i dont even drink anymore but wondering about the amenities.
Does it connect directly to dia? It makes sense I just always wanted to confirm.

I was stationed there in 69-72. Great duty and great people. We were just barely our of the vacuum tube generation for the computers.
I bet that was an amazing place to work
Wow!
Fascinating …. spent my first 4 years of Air Force career (‘73-‘77) as Radar Tech at AC&W site in NJ
I had the opportunity and the experience to go inside Nora Wallace cadet at the United States Air Force Academy. It is absolutely amazing and to know that it was finished in the sixties was absolutely unbelievable I can only imagine what they have now
Thts what I want to know! If they are showing us this that means they have an even more impressive BASE that is doing the same thing as NORAD but still hidden. I wouldn't doubt we have under water bases by now that would put NORAD to Shame!
@@uptopswag8446 that's true, we just don't know what's underwater. Here in Florida we see a rocket going to space few times a week and i wonder what are we building up in space. 🤔 Good luck to the world.

I got to go into Cheyenne mountain when I worked for H P on a service call to fix a monitor-- I remember 3 huge doors each at a different perimeter each time. Very thick doors ( 3 - 6 feet ) slid open to give access to inner rooms all in artificial lightning, shadows in each corner . 🖤 🇺🇲 It was a an adventure in my life that I lived when I was young 1977 Colorado 🇺🇲 ❤ 💙

I’m always amazed at the sheer scale of such projects.
Those were the days when money was not a problem, now a day, the reality is the condi8 of all infrastructures are in a stage of disrepair and how about repairing all the hundreds of bridges, thousand of miles of roads, what about HSR and hundreds of airports.
Robbing the poor to feed the rich. To save ther sorry loser asses. Paid for with your blood sweat tears aches and pains . To die in poverty hungry cold just waiting for the nukes just to feel the heat and use your toasting fork and that slice of mouldy bread youd been saving bon appetit
Me too bro..
And to think thousands of years from now people will be saying like the pyramids 'how did people make this with such primitive tools
im always amazed at the waste of money and the corruption that they sold us....
Very interesting. Particularly the engineering aspects
Once we let out detailed information in regards to such amazing Military/Homeland Security achievements, means there’s already something 10x better currently operating!
Really awesome information in the comments here by people who worked there... Now, that isn't generally included in older videos like these. Thank you all for sharing! P.S. To the narrators comments about "The Cold War" being over.. That's a joke! And, NORAD still has a huge place in North America's military and protection services... I mean, outside of pizzing on spark plugs and hollyweird... lol
It seems like our enemies are trying to trigger a nuclear war to do away with it’s western rivals in one shot. It is unconscionable that we are not pushing for peace talks every day. Don’t underestimate an aging leader’s capacity to blunder their way into a nuclear crisis.

Was able to go in when I was a kid,dad was stationed there from 71 to 80.
What do you remember?
@@auroracsmith97 big springs under the buildings, I was a kid. The food was good.
And the blast doors
That is a lie to say at the beginning of the atomic age no one knew how to make tunnels in that rock. I understand this was different, but this ignores the knowledge that came before. They just had to get miners from the other side of the mountain in Cripple Creek who developed those techniques in the 1890s. over 100 , miles of tunnels in the same rock. 8 mile at the 3000 foot level a tunnel just to drain water which it is still doing to this day. The hard rock drills they show were developed in Cripple Creek. I have seen 1890 old rock bolts in the Molly Kathleen mine.
In the 1970’s my dad worked NORD ( NorthBay Ontario Canada 🇨🇦) ..
I visited the “mountain” many times during my time in the Air Cadet’s and as an Air Reservist..

I worked there from 1979 to 1983. NORAD moved out of the mountain a couple of decades ago. Interesting place. Over 7000ft at the parking lot.
@@bobbydee1187 First that was over 40 years ago. Second, NORAD doesn’t even live in the mountain anymore. Third, I’ve never said anything you couldn’t get from the tour back then (yes there were public tours).

This was amazing I so enjoyed this documentary thanks for letting the people enjoy it
Now our enemies know
They did in the Cold War too - in a democracy with freedoms such as ours, it’s all but impossible to hide a project of this magnitude.
absolutely AMAZING,..the technology of Rock mining at that time,..impresses the hell out of me
My grandparents owned a real estate company that sold a home to a general that worked at NORAD. He gave us a really awesome tour of the place (pre 9/11). What an amazing place. The size of those doors was so impressive.
In an other underground structure i was told the spring was so big they could only carry one per semi truck. ( during interstate construction.)
Not surprising, but they failed to mention how much Canada actually has to do with NORAD and that the second highest in NORAD command is a Canadian Lieutenant-General Alain Parent. Here is a brief description of the Canadian/American agreement.🇨🇦🇺🇸
In 1958, both governments signed an agreement to create a bi-national structure that would centralize efforts to defend North American airspace. The agreement established guidelines and principles on how the command would be organized and operated. NORAD would be commanded by an American general, with a Canadian general as deputy commander, who would be equally responsible to both governments. Currently, NORAD is commanded by U.S. Army General Charles Jacoby, who is also the commander of U.S. Northern Command (the U.S. joint command responsible for homeland defence), while the NORAD deputy commander is Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) Lieutenant-General Alain Parent.
They gotta prop up that murica propaganda as much as possible!! Lol
They mentioned that Canada staffs it as well and is involved in its operation. Maybe watch it again sport!
Canada doesn't matter.
It seems to me that this documentary is focused on the structure itself, not the powers that be running it. It was mentioned several times that it is NORAD, for defense of North America - US & Canada together.
at 3:09 they literally mention that... 3 minutes in... i appreciate the info you gave but seriously, you couldn't watch at least 3 minutes of the video?
Brings back great memories of the move "War Games" 1983
The real norad is near the Northbay Ontario, old mine approximately 6000 feet below the surface of pure canadian shield granite.
Imagine what humans could accomplish if we didn't fight each other. All the money , effort & resources on just this project alone could be used in ways to benifit humanity & society.
Thats how important peace is, it should be of the utmost importance.
These government facilities that are built inside of mountains exists and they are located where I live it's called NAWS China Lake naval Base located in Ridgecrest California. This was also the birthplace of the recent massive earthquakes
I'm so happy for stuff like that place so they can keep an eye on the world but so many people don't know how lucky they are for them im going to say it for them. Thank you so very much Again Thank you for everything ❤ you have my heart for ever.?
Too bad they have proven to us they cant be trusted.
We need NORAD now more than ever.
True.
NORAD is fascinating
As a Canadian, I'm proud of the NORAD system and our military!!
I'm nova scotian, and i am anything but proud of Canada's current level of defence capability. It is pathetic at best
@@Trigger200284 Canada has a brilliant defence. No one will ever want to come near you while that lunatic Trudeau is in charge.
@@GarethSoye lol...... man there are so many worse politicians.
This world is so braindead and clueless these days; I can't believe I have to participate in it alongside people like you, knowing you are dead weight.
I was about to say the same as Trigger. You're joking about your military right? It doesn't exist. Your military is basically dependent on the united states making sure no one fucks with North America.
@@failzgamer I agree, we have relied on our little brother south of the border for all our defence, we agreed as a founding member of NATO to spend 2% of our GDP on military annually and we haven't done that in decades, not even close.
Our Navy is a glorified coast guard and the air force wouldn't be able to defend even a small Russian Arctic invasion, land sea or air.
It is an absolute shame that we are being castrated militarily by our own government as we have a world renowned training regiment, some of the world's best snipers and special ops fighters, and we even make military armaments, vehicles and gear but we sell it all to other countries....
For a fellow Canadian to be ignorant to how stripped down our military presence is, is frankly, embarrassing.
I remember the urgency of the Zeitgeist very well. Cold War. Right. Thanks to all the construction workers who made it happen.
This video program was produced in 1999. Which explains the CRT monitors. I got to tour this place in 97 was very cool. Had a terrible cold at the time. And high humidity inside really helped me breathe easier.
Wow! These engineers and workers were super intelligent and able to imagine ideas bigger than life, and put them into action. Amazing
THANKS YOU FOR THE VIDEO !! MUY INTERESANT..
I rewatched this film tonight, May 19, 2022. Unfortunately, the threat for which NORAD was built is back, stronger than ever.
What a great video showing your enemies how it is constructed very smart.
What's a technology! Awesome! So proud
I lived with my grand father in Colorado Springs. He was an engineer on this sight, I would be able to got to work with him there, and see the huge blast doors, and inside the huge complex. It was a secret, I wasn't allowed to tell anyone. I still have pictures of it from 48 years ago.

It's good we have such facilities. I'm willing to bet there are others like it which aren't known to outsiders. This one could be just a distraction that keeps everyone's attention directed away from anything else.
the only thing that pisses off about these facilities, is that we civilians are on our own, in the event of nuclear attack. At least the russians made all their metro stations in their cities, into long term fallout shelters for their city population.. We are fucked. But the deep state will live on thank god
Deep Underground Bases are spread throughout the world.
@Yellow Line Norad isn't at Cheyenne mountain anymore? That was underground being inside the mountain.

Worked in there for 6 years.....best time of my life.
To consider the money, technology, thought and design of NORAD to protect this country and contrast that to the careless and treasonous actions of some politicians, one can’t help but question just how secure our country really is and how these politicians continue their nefarious dealings and with impunity.

Always keep NORAD UP TO DATE AND ON ALERT.
When was this facility srarred and finished
Back in the mid 1990s we could see Cheyenne Mountain from the artillery firing range we trained at. We made jokes about knocking on the door & letting them know the Cold War was over, they could come out.
everytime i see that entrance i dont see NORAD, i see the SGC 😂
It's the same footage
I know I was thinking the same thing
It is the SGC

I just read about 25 comments and had to stop from laughing. It's obvious the people posting comments never worked there and can't grasp the concept many military operations' full missions aren't broadcast to the general public (there's a reason for that, it's called national security). I didn't see anyone mention (in the 25 comments) active duty, military service. Regardless, this an interesting video both for historical purposes and technological information. Thank you for sharing it.
Don't you know the comment sections are filled with morons?
This video is from the 80's. Pretty much all the stuff we see in this video is antiquated technology and has been removed from the site long ago. Today, this site is pretty much obsolete. The Cheyenne Mountain Complex serves as NORAD and USNORTHCOM's Alternate Command Center and as a training site for crew qualification. Day-to-day crew operations for NORAD and USNORTHCOM typically take place at Peterson Air Force Base.
Ultimate big brother and quantum leap
I knew an old guy named Rex M. Who was a compter nerd for the air force at NORAD in the 70's, 80's, 90's He was a real interesting guy to talk to. Rex was a good guy.

@@lexiebrown2550 Now that is an interesting perspective. Although, I would, indeed, like to know how this phrase, "...now fully closed to the public," is used. What would you say? Regards, Semper Fi

And they didn't mention Stargate SG-1 and how popular it was , so popular that Cheyenne Mountain had to mark a door as the Gate Room.
@Gerry Garcia There is a storage closet inside the facility that they jokingly added a sign to that says it is Stargate Command
Haha. Least they have a sense of humour. Always thought Stargate SG1 was a documentary lol
The men who engineered and constructed this were absolute geniuses. Amazing hard-working men.

What an exciting mountain of toys. What did we pay for this techno piece of shit in todays dollars? Just a trillion or two. May I be so bold as to offer one query to public forem? Does it work? Is it capable of doing anything for us? No not in anyway shape or form according to senior NORAD officials as they testified during senate subcommittee hearings they apologized for being absolutely useless during 9-11. Great job guys that was a trillion well spent. Does anybody ever ponder how much money we're talking about here or do you mindless automatons just sit there dazzled by all the flashing lights? It's enough to pay off every home mortgage in the country AND pay for a small house for the rest of the American citizens that don't own a house.
@@mperhaps then they put in TSA to stop 9/11 from happening and in 20 years last I checked they havent caught one terrorist. More money, taking away more rights and wasting tons of time to jump through the hoops to fly. 4 planes and 19 men (mostly Saudi citizens) with box cutters so really even with tsa today 9/11 still would have happened. Why did we not to after Saudi Arabia for it? Instead its like government got more in bed with them. They kill Jamal and it's found out world wide and nothing is done.
the world needs it
Where's the Stargate! We wanna see the Stargate!

i stayed 6 months in jail with someone who was in the navy, he was stationed on a submarine. actually 2, one of them was about the size of 3 school buses. the other was the size of a football feild he said. this would supposedly have occurred in the late 90s, but he claimed that while on the larger vessel, they would dive down in the pacific and go down to these places underwater where they would then rise up, and it'd be like they were in like a cave only reachable by submarine. he said they had huge facilities in some of these "caves" and none of the people on the sub had any idea where they were except the captains and navagators. whether this is true or not, i'm not sure. but, apparently they work basically like NORAD, they monitor the skies and oceans from down there.
Hey, I was in jail with that guy too. We smoked a joint that he smuggled into the jail by hiding it up his butt. He also told me about the secret mirror administration, the black helicopters, and the GPS chips in everyone's eye glasses.

Though scary, thank you all, for such protective possibilities.truly great possibilities. Great are to all that help eliminate such horrors of any possibility, thank you to all. Let us all remember that we all at the basic element, we are brothers and sisters, let us all remember, this to all. Individuality is important to each nation. May God or creator of the universe be with us as we stand together in peace and harmony as we seek to live in freedom and the pursuit of happiness. And may we all be blessed as we work in harmany. Like busy bees.
Sounds like Polyanna to me. But that's better than the vile thoughts in the responses. We have some big problems to solve. We have better get on the problems and we will either solve them.
Cheyenne Mountain has been closed since 2002. They use it now for training. NORAD was moved to Peterson Air Force base, however Cheyenne Mountain is still Norad’s backup.
Not closed but yes it's a backup, a hot backup.
Why would they move it?
Check under Falcon Colorado you might

They forgot to mention that N.O.R.A.D. also tracks Santa Claus for two weeks every year before Christmas!
Most of all when Santa Claus is an alien craft
Lol for real 😂
Amazing
I think you meant to say two weeks getting s***** on eggnog and spreading b******* and lies to your children
@@parapitro8828 Santa Claus is a mushroom look it up same with Jesus different mushroom though
Can you imagine the tech existent in the facility now?
Wonder if they keep some of it old school tho floppy disc and stuff so less chance of hack
I can but I'd have to kill myself
Probably fits in a thumb drive.

Everyone knows NORAD cause they track Santa every xmas eve! 😇
At one point all of the telecommunications for the Dew Line went through NYC and routed through a single utility vault. You could take out the whole system with one hand grenade. This is one of the primary reasons we developed a distributed communications system i.e. The Internet!
fantastic achievement and i am grateful that it is there however i hope you have kept up with all the new threats on the horizon

It would be nice to have access to Norad's center interior, you'd definitely be protected!
Ha! At 3:49 that's the USS Arleigh Burke. My brother is a plank owner on that ship and loved her well. I recognized the bow number right away. I was there at her commissioning and have been all over inside and out. Bro was the very first firecontrolman on the forward turret there. She was designed to have a very low radar signature and is the first major US Navy ship to have the back-raked mast. She's the first of her class of destroyer. If you look at her, there are no vertical lines or planes anywhere, a design that makes it very hard for a radar beam to accurately bounce back to the originator. Good ship.
I don't think the Cold War is over at all. Like the narrator said, it's only changed hands. I still view our fellow nuclear capable countries as potential threats (or potential allies...you never know what India is going to do and whatever India does, Pakistan will follow and vice versa because of the utter loathing between the governments of each country) so I think NORAD has not outlived its usefulness. We will always need a facility, or facilities, like this until such time as Humankind grows up and out of its greedy lust for war and destruction (which we are quite good at and have a real penchant for). I disagree with the narrator that the former Soviet Union, now mostly the Russian Republic, has lost much of its nuclear capabilities. I think it hides them well but they're still there. You'd be an utter fool if you think the infrastructure and the weapons themselves have somehow magically vanished. China is a wild card in all this. I don't think we know exactly what HER capabilities are beyond a handful of need to know experts. My rough guess would be that her weaponry at this point rivals that of the former USSR if not the US. The Chinese play their cards very close to their vests and are, as stereotypes maintain, very inscrutable and opaque to read.
This is really interesting
I'm impressed.
Didn't you see Stargate the television series? This thing's not even secret not even a little bit What should worry you is how much interest the United States government has in protecting itself while hanging everyone else out to dry including its own people
