And the crazy thing is, there was another part of the tunnel that was north of the manhole. What we found on the other end of this, it just creeps me out because this thing is operating from HV Studio.
This is unnerved. Welcome back to the Unnerved Podcast. It's where normal people share their abnormal stories, and if you enjoy true stories of the strange and terrifying, then you're in the right place. I'm your host, Chris Fricke. Today's story might sound a bit familiar because we have our first returning guest that is here to give us an update on the Tunnel that he discovered. This time John went back to the secret tunnel and trust me, you
won't want to miss this update. If you haven't heard the original story from John, I highly suggest that you stop this episode and go back a few episodes to the story titled Secret Tunnels Beneath Us Part One. Once you're all caught up, we'll be right here waiting with Part 2. In today's story, John returns to the secret military tunnel with his friend and colleague to examine the mysterious element he found previously.
What John and his friend found next would far surpass their expectations, as they discovered a mysterious frequency and even more tunnels that were meant to be unknown. This is his story. Just a reintroduction. My name is John and I do machine learning and I work in New Mexico, southern New Mexico, and work on a large research area that's backs up right to White Sands. It's a part of the missile range, although it's not it's not the testing area for weapons.
There's a lot of research area out there. I work with other scientists including physicsists and geologists. We have a lot of area to explore out there and myself and some of my Co workers. When we're out there, if we've got time we like to take a break for the weekend and hike around. You can just you can basically get lost area so large you can't really just hike it. And a day like I said it backs up to white sands, so you can drive all over out there and enter different points of the
parks and whatnot. I have not explored the entire area. That is part of our sort of gated research area. We have like these little research trailers and mine and my colleagues is in one area and then like my my geologist scientists are something like 1/4 of a mile away. So it's spread out. But you know, there's a lot of us, we'll go out there, we'll do a night of camping or a day of hiking.
And as I told you last time, I came up on a tunnel via this manhole that was not locked or sealed and after discovering these weird sort of cubes down in this tunnel, this very clean well kept tunnel decided that I would go back with a friend of mine named Rob who also works with me. And it's a long way out there. It takes a whole day to really do this and usually in that area if I'm going that far I will
camp for a night. Last time I was out there, the manhole that I had used they somebody, I'm assuming it was just part of the industrial military industrial complex. Part of the scientific community that's out there had sealed off the manhole because there was a fence around it, like a construction fence, right. And obviously I was not able to enter that and it freaked me out a little bit because this was very soon after I'd been out there. I was like, what are the chances?
Well, there's two stories I'm, I'm telling you today. The one is an update to that and one is a brand new part. The update I'll just give you real quick. So I tell Rob about all of this and they tell him about the maintenance out there and how I was like, well, I think they just sealed it off. And you know, I'm not sure what to do about that and sort of nervous whether or not there's cameras out there. And I was telling him I was like, I want to find the end of this tunnel.
Where does this thing come out at? And he reminded me of something that had come through our emails, and I didn't think anything about it. He's like, Are you sure that they were out there because of you? Big coincidence, right? If it was, he's like, well, they're working on lines out here, water lines. Did you see these emails? And, like, yeah, but OK, you know, OK, they're working on
some water pipes or something. He's like, well, if that's if there's a manhole there, maybe that's the way they enter it. Maybe then I was like, well, it's just a tunnel. I didn't see anything that would be underground cables or pipes or something like that. But it did make me wonder whether or not they were actually out there because of me getting in there or was it just coincidence? If they did seal this tunnel, that would be the only entrance.
I started thinking about it and Rob and I decided to do 2 things. We decided to have A trying to find the end of this tunnel or both ends of the tunnel, whatever, and B to see if if we couldn't enter that way to see if the manhole was actually shut. So we get off on a weekend and this is this is now as early March and there wasn't any snow really out there at that time. Sort of a warm winter this year and we had to backtrack.
So the first thing we did was I showed him the area I was camping and where I found the manhole again. It's basically a whole day to just sort of get out there and anything you have to reset up. The construction sort of fence is gone and we had this time I I brought like a a crowbar because last time I was telling you I like screwed up on my poles, my hiking poles and it was not sealed either.
Rob is correct. They were working on some sort of maintenance water line or something and that was an entry point or I don't I don't know what else it would have been. So we get back down there and I we've got flashlights this time. I've got more equipped this time than last time. Got a high beam flashlight and we sort of cover our tracks as we camp in. We camp a little bit of ways from it, like 1/4 of a mile. So it's not obvious go down there. Rob's super excited about this.
He's sort of mischievous like that. But we're also trying to be very discreet. We don't want to, we don't want to get in trouble. But again, it's our land like we're researchers out there. So sort of have some privilege I would say to to explore that and pretty high clearance for some things. Well we get down there and I tell him I was like to the right basically to the north is going to be these this door and these huge doors and like a loading dock sort of thing and and these
slabs of whatever they are. But let's go the other way and see how long this tunnels and see if we can figure out where it goes. So we go the other way and it's a very long tunnel. And I figured, I think I figured out why that is. But the other way is about a half a mile. So we're talking about the entire tunnel being over a mile. Because it the last time I was telling talking to you, I was like, it's probably about half a mile, 3/4 of a mile guessing because of how long it took me
to get out there. So on this way, it was 1/2 mile from that a manhole. So I'm guessing the other part was about half a mile too. So it's a mile total. Well, when we get the other side of it, the end of it, there are doors. It's not this not been blasted or anything like that, but there's they're shut there. There's not just like a chain or something like that. They're like sort of sealed shut. And I was like, OK, we now know where this thing is.
So we're up top again. We're going to find the entrance on top and see what it looks like. We hike all the way back, walk all the way back. The tunnels again, well maintained, like I was telling you last time, sealed, There's no moisture in there. And so we but there's also no lights. So we get to the other side finally, and there's again, like that camera I was telling you about. Nothing's been changed. The doors are still the same and
they're still unlocked. We go in there and Rob just sort of freaking out and I'm still freaked out by it. And it's no less unusual this time around. We're just looking at them, touching them. There's cool the touch. They've got that silvery light to them that absorbs the flashlight. There's not a lot of reflective light coming off of. It's very strange. And Rob works in geology, so he knows more about that than I do. He had no explanation for it.
We walked back and forth, explored a little bit, and it's an enormous warehouse. It's huge. It's from one end to the next. It's it's going to take you a while to walk it. And on the other end it's pretty much sealed. There's like some, there's like some smaller like an office or something like that. Again like sort of a loading area. There's just not much there that's interesting. But it is definitely sealed off once you get past that little
docking area. And the only way in and out of there is through that tunnel and it's big enough and it's got sort of like a cul-de-sac almost at that end for big trucks to get in, turn around and get out. And so Rob and I decided that the only thing for this tunnel is for the transportation of this from whatever this is, this material. So we get back up, talk about it, we discuss it and everything. And we just were hungry and
tired, all that stuff. So we camp and the next day, yeah, we had marked where the tunnel was above ground, so we had coordinates from GPS and we knew it was South. It's just a straight S There's no curves in the in the tunnel or anything. And so we walked to where it was. Now, this area is not flat. There's a lot of like sort of rolling hills.
There's some mountainous areas in that vicinity, Lincoln National Forest in that area, but the the grade of it wasn't so steep that you would a truck would really struggle. Those trucks are so low gear, they can get up that stuff anyways. But it wasn't super flat and it wasn't like easy to see because it was. The terrain was rocky and hilly the way it was. In fact, when we got into the area, there was no evidence
really of a trail. There's no evidence of a Rd. but what it was, was these giant doors that would allow for these trucks to get through. You could fit an 18 Wheeler through it and they were just sealed shut. They were metal doors. They were bronze sort of color, but they weren't bronze. They were just sort of that color and they were sealed. There was not a chain or a roadblock or anything, like they were sealed, sealed. I don't know exactly how you seal something like that.
I'm not a welder, I'm not a engineer. But they weren't budging. And it was obvious that this thing had just been decided that they were going to leave it as is and not it wasn't going to be used anymore. So I thought when we were in that area, when we were in the tunnel at the very end next to these, these crates or whatnot, I said it was sealed off. But it felt like it's hard to
describe. It felt like it wasn't the end of it. We decided to go north and just to see what else could be out there, and we're hiking a lot. It's pretty exhausting, but it's not too much terrain. And the crazy thing is, there was another part of the tunnel that was north of the manhole, and it was about half a mile. It was maybe 3/4 of a mile, a little bit closer. If I remember Rob telling me, he had the GPS and it was the same, like the same size, but the door to it was like it.
So I had the large doors sealed, but there was a smaller door that actually led to an office. And we know that because it was unlocked. It was just a small little office on the right side of the tunnel. If you're looking at the tunnel and there's nothing in it, not even a chair, just pretty nondescript office of sort of a metal built in desk, no monitors or anything like that. And then another door on the other on on the northern side of it that led out into that tunnel.
So this thing's open. And just like the man home thinking this has just got to be open because they need to be able to get into this thing and they've got these doors sealed shut, right? They've got to be able to get in some ways, they're maintaining it and who knows what else. And this one was much different. It was the same sort of tunnel and that it had these sort of two lanes. It was basically like a highway, but it stopped the actual, the
drive. It actually stopped much quicker and it was like a parking lot, sort of like what you see on a ferry. And it was obvious that's what it was because the lane was like, if you're going one way, then the lane all of a sudden opened up to two lanes right next to one another and the other lane did the same thing. So like, again, like if you're going on a ferry, right, it's like 1 lane and then it branches off into two on that side and 2:00 on the other side. Same sort of concept.
And I would say it say it would fit about 50 cars. It's hard to judge. It's dark in there. It's just hard to judge. The only reason I thought of that is because of what we found next. It stopped, it ended and then there was a series of other doors and when you walk into those, there's a couple of offices. Again, there's nothing in these offices. And and what they're not wooden. The desks that are in there are not wooden and they're not.
They're attached. So they're attached and they're metallic, so like a metal and they're attached to the wall so that you can't move them. But there's nothing else in there. And it's like, oh, the shape is almost like a boomerang shape, right? And there's a series of those and then on the other end of those, so there's like 2 on each side. And then on the other end of those, it opened back up in the parking lot, the, the driveway, the roads are gone. And now it's a series of bunkers.
And it's like metal, metal beds. There's no mattresses or anything. Like, they're like single. They're not big and there's just rows of them and they are double, just like you'd see in a barracks, like military, military barracks. And on the other end of that was like some sort of room that would be a meeting room, an auditorium. I don't know what it would be used for, but it was large and it had a series of smaller tables that, like you would sit at, but there's no chairs.
And these tables again, were metal tables that you couldn't just easily move. And on the far side, it had what was clearly a bar. This. I know this is getting weird, but I think I know what this when I when I'm done. I'm going to tell you what I think this was. The bar had nothing in it except for the bar. Again, nothing was movable except for the chairs that weren't there and the bar had nothing behind it. But it was a bar.
I mean, it was just obvious it had the metallic bar that went about say it was about 20 feet and behind that was a section of storage that you would use for liquor and they even had the little rails. Couldn't have been anything else. Rob and I both agreed at this moment like this has got to be a Fallout Shelter. It's got to be and it's got to be for the for the scientists here. And we're looking at something
that is decades old there. There's just nothing else it could be. As we're walking through there and just checking everything out, the idea became OK, so this can fit maybe 50 cars. That's upper classified sort of scientists and military probably maybe some of their families, 200 people in these barracks plus this little sort of sitting lounge, you know 200 people total. And we determined that that it has to be for those types of individuals if there was ever so any sort of nuclear issue.
Now this isn't uncommon. I mean we we know why Los Alamos was built and they built the town very quickly up there to build the bomb and. New Mexico has things like this. They have sealed off tunnels, it has underground shelters and things like this. This is not that uncommon, especially in these laboratory areas and these sealed off to the public areas. So that's not too weird.
But what we found on the other end of this was sort of on the northwestern end was it just creeps me out to this. It just there was a like a computer room, a set of old looking computers. The exact sort of computers that you would see in post World War 2 or World War 2 and post World War 2 up to roughly the mid to late 60s. Just a row of these computers and a speaker system and a receiver system. And we didn't hear this until we walked in there. You couldn't hear it from the
outside. Everything was pretty well sealed. But when we walked in there, there was a faint beeping, buzzing sound. It was very low. It was like a low frequency. It was hard to even hear. You had to sort of be close to it. And then it would change a little bit. It would repeat it and then it would go to static. It would have a pause and then it would change. The sort of beeps that you heard seemed randomized. I don't think it was. I just think you need some sort of key to interpret it.
And it wasn't SOS. We're just sitting there sort of listening to it, trying to figure out what's going on here because this thing is operating and that means someone can being here, listening to it. Are they recording it somewhere? Because these computers don't look like they're on and there's no recording devices and then comes on a distinctly female, monotone voice sounds sort of like you would hear Walgreens or something like that, you know what I mean?
Like that sort of automated voice. It was like that and it would just give out numbers. I have no idea what these numbers mean. It would be like 5 numbers, five pause, 516182123. There'd be a pause and then there would be more than there would be more beeps, more static and no rhyme or reason to it. I I was just, there was nothing I could do to understand what it was saying. And occasionally, and this was only every once in a while, I heard it.
I think we heard it twice total, and we spent like an hour down. There was distinctly a Russian voice and that was a male saying something, a few words, maybe a Simmons or two, and then it would stop and then the beeps, the sort of buzzings, crackling sounds would come back, then would be the female voice. And numbers didn't seem to really repeat. I mean there would be some numbers that were the same. Maybe she said a five each time
or something like that. But most, for the most part, they were randomized, The beeps were randomized. And I we had no idea when the Russian male voice was come back and the two times we heard it, I'm certain he didn't say the same thing. And So what we decided they must be able to do is they've maintained all of this so that if there is an actual fallout situation today, those doors can be open quickly. I'm sure a welder can get those open within, I don't know, 20 minutes.
I don't know how long it would take that, but they can get in who they need to get in. Those people have a living space, like a place to hang out, a place to sleep, kitchen sort of area, things like that, storage for canned goods. And then also like the main little bar seating area. There was a few other larger offices and just rooms that you would imagine would be in some sort of Fallout Shelter that didn't have any equipment in them at all.
So I imagine whoever is in charge of listening to these codes has a backroom that is available to them and these would all be high security individuals. So I imagine that coated room probably wouldn't need to be sealed because everybody would have that sort of clearance for it or unless maybe they could seal it and I just there just wasn't sealed, I don't know. But there was no like current
technology. I didn't see anything that would be like a fingerprint sort of analysis for opening switches and doors. Everything was mechanical. Everything was analog. Nothing was digital there. So I'm certain, and given the computers, I mean, you just go on Google, I don't know, 1950s computers and look. And that's exactly what we were looking at. So that was what the whole thing was.
We spent about almost two hours in there just looking around, and then we went back out through the office. We looked for cameras again. It's pretty dark, but we've got good flashlights. I saw the exact same kind that we saw on the other side of the tunnel, those sort of boxy ones. No light to them, no, no indication that they were on.
Oh, and the other thing, on the other side of this, I said like the northwest of these of these computers in this weird beeping mechanism, it had a hallway that connected the northwest to the northeast and sort of kind of looped back. I am certain that on the other side of that hallway, right there, and it was like thick, thick concrete, right is the upper side of the tunnel. So they meet up, but they're divided by who knows how thick that concrete is.
It could be 10 feet thick. I don't know. You've got one tunnel does transportation tunnel for these this resource, this energy resource, these crates, and the other tunnel is for shipping in scientists, military personnel in a fallout event. And that was it. And then we left, spending some more time camping, looked around some more just to see if there's anything else and there wasn't. And and then we went, We went back the next day, I guess.
Let's go back to when you showed the crates to your friend and everything like that. I mean, did he have any more of an idea of what the material was? His best guess was that that material was a raw material that had to be melted down, probably with lasers actually, and then was used in very small quantities along with other material to strengthen something, to make a very light material out of it, which makes a lot of sense.
Maybe if you're looking at experimental aircraft, you need light but strong materials, maybe some of that is being shipped out and they have to open the doors. So they, if it's ever being used, they have to open those doors and there's no evidence they've opened them and what are they going to do, keep welding them shut?
That doesn't make sense, right? I mean, maybe it's just leftover, maybe it's maybe there's other areas that have that material and this is just the leftovers, extra storage, which actually now that I'm thinking about that would actually make sense that you have a main supply that you're actually using and then this supply, wherever you got it from, wherever it came from, it's just storage now and if you ever need it, I guess you can go in there and get some.
So when you guys got back from this trip, I assume no one has still spoken to you about it and no one's approached you or anything like that so far, right? Nobody, nobody. And it tells me that it is not being monitored that in this field, well, in science it's a little bit different, but in the areas we work in, the right hand never knows what the left hand is doing and it that's
purposeful. Most of the time things are divided and that's a frustrating because you need to be able to share information fluently, like without interruption. Sometimes you can't do that and things get missed. What I think is going on here is that it's old, it's hasn't been used and forever, but it is maintained, so the tunnel's sealed. There's no moisture going on in
there. So it's it's sealed properly and it's just people aren't interested in it that maybe a military personnel, one of their coders spy or something like that, goes in there and listens to make sure everything's going correctly. Maybe they don't. Maybe they haven't been in there in decades.
I don't know. It's feasible to say that the new tunnel they discovered would have easily been created by the military for scientists and local military personnel in case of a nuclear emergency during the Cold War, but since then it seems to have been forgotten in time. The active frequency that John and his friend found was abnormal, to say the least. There was no power anywhere else in the tunnels or the Fallout Shelter. The only thing being powered was the radio.
The strange frequencies they heard were clearly not from a local radio station. When I researched the sounds that John described, I came across a mysterious Russian frequency called UVB 76. Now, among the hundreds of radio stations in Russia, there is one that's seemingly out of this world. Instead of music or news, these broadcasts are of mysterious voices and noises which have got
radio enthusiasts baffled. The sound has been gripping the imagination of radio spotters worldwide for over 3 decades. The UVB 76, also known as the Buzzer. At first arouse my interest because it is so strange. Personally, I think it's a legacy device that's been leftover from the late 70s or 80s from the military operations at the. Time its original. Purpose has been forgotten. VC it's been going like this since the start, whenever that was.
Sometimes the buzzer stops and a male robotic like voice lists names and numbers in Russian, some believe is the Soviet unions and now Russias contact with spies or even civilizations from other worlds. Yiraslav has been a radio fan since his childhood. He's also had his share of the buzzer, but his explanation of its purpose is much more down to earth. This sort of connection is extremely reliable. It will shut down in case of a large nuclear explosion, but only for a few hours.
It's not dependent on anything. That's why it's still widely used today by the Army. The. Idea is pretty simple. A military radio station sends out the buzzer, which is received by other army bases. By stopping the buzzer, the operator signals that a command code of letters and numbers is about to be broadcast. When the transmission is complete, the buzzer turns on again, Yaroslav said. Moscow's Radio Spotting community know where the signal used to come from a base outside
of the capital. But this is what we saw there, and this man is the only living soul we could find on the spot. He used to work at the base and still lives in a village nearby. This used to be one of the best units in the country, but two years ago we received an order to shut it down. We were told that consumed too much energy. There is also another similar unit. It still operates. Could it be that the legendary buzzer used to beam out of this building?
And where is the signal coming from now? It looks like we won't be able to find any signs of that mysterious transmitter here, because the equipment was literally ripped out of the walls and floors of the building when the base was shut down. But some things are actually still here, like this journal with the last entry dating back to May 2009. During the Cold War, numbers stations became prolific as high security, low risk spy tools to send secret messages to operatives in the field.
However, as early as World War One, espionage agencies were using shortwave radio numbers stations to broadcast Morse coded numbers. That only meant something if someone else had the key to decipher the code. But these number stations use more than just numbers to convey directives. Music beeps, hums. A woman counting off numbers, a man listing Russian names, and even a child's voice repeating English letters began to creep
eerily across the airwaves. Russia's UVB 76, also known as the Buzzer, is perhaps the most notorious of these numbers stations and is still broadcasting to this day. As for the new station's location, it's since been more problematic to pinpoint. Still, radio enthusiasts theorize that the station is broadcasting from a few different locations near Moscow. UVB 76 and Top Secret Frequencies is another large rabbit hole that you're welcome
to dive into. And it's hard to say if it's the exact frequency that John and his friend discovered. But if you're interested in listening to the live feed of UVB 76, I'll leave a link to it in the show notes for you to listen. Ultimately, the rediscovery of these tunnels still leaves us with questions. What is the identity of the mysterious element? Even with the expertise of John's friend, the answer is
still unknown. Why was there no electrical power anywhere in the shelter except for where the radio was? John's new discoveries still beg the question what's truly beneath us? Thanks again for listening to Unnerved. If you enjoyed this episode, please share it with your friends and leave a review
