Those Idiots should of never cut the Funding For It.

How much was it sold for ?.

Really cool.

What are the odds that the person who made this video is an idiot? Answer: Extremely High

My dad was stationed here 70-73. Such a great place to live as a kid. Road bikes around a big circle street, learned to play baseball, my parents where scout leaders for our Cub Scout troop, every took care of everybody. Best years of my life - ages 7-9 years old.

This is so eery that i can't believe it

I dunno- Seems fake.

Plot twist: ancient egypt build the pyramid to track alien spaceship and the pyramid head is actually a radar array made out of precious metal

Enjoyed this video so much that I'm using it for my US History class in Wahpeton ND. Great pics, narration and production! Thanks!

Man that pyramid is pretty liminal. I feel like it could be an "images you've seen in your dreams" example. Either way, I just learned about the existence of the Mickelson Safeguard Complex today, and it blew my mind!

Thanks for posting. That brought some memories back. I was stationed there 66-67. Worked in the FPS/26 tower. I believe it was spring of 67 there was some excitement with UFO sightings. We were on duty playing cards with the scope dopes. I believe it was Minot that called the operators for verification of UFO and sure enough we had it on the FPS/35. Some time later we were interrogated by security from Malmstrom AFB. We didn't know at the time but some missile silos were disabled. That's why security was so concerned.

You are driving a charging device ? But what a very creepy tour. It's like some end of world dystopian movie show.

Imagine how much power has to run through that radar to be that big!!! Damn. DirecTV

I wonder how many people got freaked out when you pointed the camera back down the ladder in the bell tower! I thought it was kool!

My first job was in Nekoma, ND 1975

The amount of money wasted by the DC clowns is disgusting

Awesome video. Short . straight to the point. . Great pics and narrator

I've been to North Dakota and lived there. I'm from NJ, so I'm one of the oddest people to ever go there. However, during the summer, North Dakota is by far one of the most absolute beautiful places to go. Looking at the skies in the fields is amazing.

Does NajLa AmundSon announce Casper: a spirited beginning is up next on ABC @ 10:30 pm in September 22 1998 while Casper meets Wendy is released in theaters just like Scooby-Doo on zombie island has the men singing the Scooby-Doo theme song while shaggy pulls the door knob before he slides down the Scooby snacks on the tea party table without the Scooby-Doo theme song in the 1999 version on Warner bros. DVD at the library while Cartoon Network has shaggy pulling the door knob while the men sing the Scooby-Doo theme song on the original 1998 audio?

The whole video is great and I especially enjoy the "then and now" from the same vantage point, and that it's repeated so I don't have to back up to see it again. Great work!

I HAVE BEEN ACROSS THAT BRIDGE BEFORE AND THE TUNNEL WITH THE SMELL OF THE EXHAUST STILL PRESENT, KINDA CREEPY

Why do we pay for the metal, and someone gets permission to salvage it? That should be done to recover our costs of building. Obviously someone is making a profit, and that isn't repaying our debt. Doing this to us for generations, end the lame

Yo what’s the address I explore shit like this to and would love to see this place in person

Hmm check out dresden nd also carburry nd roth nd souris nd landa nd edmore nd starkweather nd gardeana nd upham nd russel nd willow nd denbi nd just a few to check out guys.

When I was a kid way out on a farm outside Hickson our garage was a former schoolhouse. It had had a classroom and if I remember correctly a apartmentish for the teacher. We had a ramp for the cats to get in the front where a sliding door had been cut in. The house was a monster victorian 5 bedrooms and servant quarters . But behind the house in the shelterbelt was a old house that had probably been empty 60-70 years at that point. 1960s I looked on Google earth and found they had removed the school built a bigger house behind the Victorian right over the original farmhouse the grain mill also gone along with the chicken house. Change .

Funny my aunt's husband's father a hard core republican met FDR when he visited Bismarck. I was looking at your pictures to see if I could recognize him in one of your photos. I couldn't.

When cars in 57 were $2500 radios were a $50+ option and there were a shocking number of people that didn't buy new cars with radios transistor radios were the rage . New cheap technology. In 56 my grandpa paid $1000 for their first tv I'm not sure if wday tv was broadcasting yet . But that was half the cost of a new car. Lots of transistor radios hung from rearview mirrors . Lol I lived on golden ridge in the mid 70s . There were 5 deaths in the 57 Fargo tornado. Think they were all from the same family. In 57 my cousin and her husband were down on Broadway when my cousin's husband looked at the sky he'd been a meteorologist in the service decided it was a perfect time to go to the movies . The Fargo theater is pretty much bombproof. All they found from another cousin's house was the in tact picture tube from his tv laid down gently several blocks away. The rest of the tv was gone but the extremely fragile picture tube was unharmed. His house was completely gone. The picture tubes and main framework had serial numbers on them. Tv thefts were huge in the 50s. He never rebuilt he bought really Cool Spartan Manor trailer made by a aircraft company. Old guys ramble

Love everything about this video.

Would like to see if any thing is left standing 2023

Does anyone know the music and what the name is?

7 years ago I commented on this video and to this day, the tower still makes me feel queasy in my stomach when I see it. Nice revisit it just the same. That tower remains, to this day, the only place I have ever visited that truly scared me.

Secret D.u.m.b. Bunker?

Is there time to recommission it before WW3 kicks off.

There are places in north Dakota that I never knew about and I have lived here my whole life

Latest I have heard is that the site is in the process of being purchased and to be used for bitcoin mining operations.

My great grandpa helped build this

Fallout mod makers get to work

There was a guy advertising one of these bases he owned for sale here on youtube years ago---he wanted like 2 million for it. If I had that money I would have bought it. Makes me wonder if this was the same guy or a new owner or if this is the same place. Also wonder if video is still here.

Never visited SD but know something about this missile base. Because, elsewhere, I witnessed how it was built day by day. The US Army is now where I was once employed. Go figure.

Enthralling and a little sobering at the same time. Thank you for these pictures.

Either the town disappeared or the school was built in the middle of nowhere. Good video, and what a pity the place was left to ruin.

What an excellent project, capturing the fading parts of ND history. There's a bit of melancholy mixed in too, seeing places where people lived, loved, argued, and died. Hats off to Larson and Camp.

Never got to see any of these places when I was in the Air Force all through the 70s, but all that data from them fed into my last station which was the NORAD Cheyenne Mountain Complex outside of Colorado Springs. Cheyenne Mountain was a trip all unto itself and the videos you see of it don't do it justice.

The background music is...?

If anyone felling fallout 4 vibes?

...what a load of sensationalist garbage. The tornado that hit Fargo in 1957 was tragic, and for you to spout this loony, Dollar Store X Files garbage is an insult to those who died that day.
