@@TheTommyCraft I ended up pausing the video many times and trying to Google search the images that were talked about in the video. However when you Google image search something like "meteor strike Antarctica" you will get 10 or more images of different satellite pictures of potential meteor strikes in Antarctica and you don't know which one they are referencing. I had that come up a few times in searching images of things talked about in the video, so it would have been super helpful if they showed the image. The funny thing was a few times they did show the satellite image. So what stopped them from showing all images discussed in the video?

I looked and the "robot" at Area 51 is actually a large asphalt milling machine. It's one of those machines you see on the highways grinding up the pavement so they can lay new pavement. The reason it looks like it is in different poses is because the images were taken at different times of the day so the shadows were cast in different directions. I figured your editors would have caught this one super quickly because it only took me about a minute of staring at it before I knew exactly what it was. And a quick Google search of pavement grinding machines I found what its actual name is. Mystery solved! Don't believe me? Look it up. What is funny is the images in the search show the machines in different directions and time of day, so you can actually see the 2 "legs" in some of them. And the machine is around other road equipment so it makes total sense. And since there is a runway and roads at Area 51 it makes sense they would have their own equipment. Anyone who thinks they are actual robots is pretty dumb in my opinion. And no need for engineers poking fun at the Russians using storage containers either. The truth is far more mundane sometimes! Like a machine we have all seen at one point or another. Once you see it you can't un-see it!

[@slipstreamxr3763]

Speaking Area 51 my one major complaint about the original Independence Day is that they showed Area 51 in the middle of a salt flat which is nothing at all like the terrain around the actual Area 51 which is very rocky and elevated to make it that much harder for someone to just sneak in or send a drone to get a few pictures on the sly. I was also somewhat annoyed with the ease in which the Russians just waltzed in there in "Indiana Jones" when a major part of the reason the Air Force built the Groom Lake facility where it is in the first place and why secrecy was so top level was to literally keep the Russians from finding out about the stealth program among other things.

When I was stationed at Nellis AFB in Las Vegas, NV years ago I was able to speak with pilots who had been to Area 51 as I worked on the flight line and was in contact with them on a daily basis. While they obviously couldn't elaborate, I was told a couple of times that what was up in "Dreamland" as we called it was absolutely amazing. One pilot told me that I would be just blown away by what they had.

@Cancer McAids what happens there is next gen research, and yes it is cool AF but nothing from outer space or made by aliens. Just the result of tossing billions at science nerds with no life.

[@eekee6034]

It's probably true, but it may be that many of the amazing things don't work as well as... anyone would like. :) Experimental technology is like that. What I've heard about Area 51 is that aliens thing was made up to allow workers whose health was damaged by radiation at (or near?) the site to sue for compensation without revealing what actually happened. I don't know what-all has happened for obvious reasons, but I do know that at some point in the heyday of the space race, nuclear thermal rocket engines were tested in Nevada with their _possibly_ highly radioactive exhaust directed straight up into the air. Considering that and the general attitudes of the Atomic Age, it seems very likely that certain highly classified projects suffered from a similar lack of care for the dangers. And, well, more than half the state of Nevada is under the control of whatever environment agency the US has which can declare an area unsafe to enter.

[@VadulTharys]

@@eekee6034 yeah the issue with those science nerds is lack of understanding of consequences. They have a brilliant idea (in their minds) have billions to try to make it work and never think about either the health or environmental damage their ideas may cause.

Interesting fact: The supposed "6th Gen fighter" seen at Groom Lake ("Area 51") has a shadow that goes in the opposite direction of the temp structure over it and the hangars.

There's a fun Weather Channel (US) series called What On Earth? that gets intriguing satellite images, asks intrigued scientists what they think they are (cold guessing) and then finds actual site footage that explains what the strange formations/constructions are.

[@Games_and_Music]

Indeed, i've been watching that as well, and that's where i also saw the "Beatrixpark Dock Murder Spot", which is actually in the town that i live in. I knew about the "rumors" of the supposed murder, it's been a while, but i had no idea it would make it to a show in America, and i was really surprised as they zoomed in on the Netherlands and right into that dock that i've been to many times in the more than 30 years that i live in this town. And now mentioned again here, but yeah, no pictures this time. Sometimes during the show they take very long tangents into what it is NOT, or cold guessing as you say, but other times i really appreciate the little facts and sceneries they wander off into. Same goes for shows like Strange Evidence, they take a lot of detours, and sometimes i already know what the 'mystery' is, which makes the detours kinda frustrating, but still, there's also interesting topics on there.

1:14 Hah, the "Beatrixpark Dock Murder Spot", i live in the town where this supposed murder had been reported. I had no idea that this was a thing until i watched "What On Earth?!", a show specifically about analyzing satellite photos, where it was discussed in one episode. I've been living here for over 30 years and been to that wooden pier thing many a time, which is why it surprised me so much to randomly hear about it in an American show, and now here again. Then again, murders do happen, and on Saturday nights after our local bar closed at 1, my friends and i used to walk to a remote secluded nature reserve, just to smoke a joint at the end of it in the birdwatcher's hut. We had walked that route a bunch of times, and whenever a car came, we used to duck or hide, usually for giggles, because we kept making up stories about them, and joking like "look out, a psycho! Run!". We dubbed it "Route Psycho Psycho", even though, in hindsight, we were the psychos, walking near tents and boats in the middle of the night, simply because we were curious to see or find anything (mind you, we're drunk and stoned). But yeah, one time we heard on the news about a girl that had gone missing one weekend, and ended up being found really close to where we used to smoke our joint. She was picked up at the station by two guys (seen on camera) and ended up dead in the water, so, we never went back there anymore. I also had a weird murder inconvenience, i went on my bike towards a factory to apply for a job, getting there was no problem, i have the meeting, took about 30 minutes max. On the way back, the cycle path was suddenly closed off, police around etc., apparently a couple minutes after i passed that point, a kid was stabbed to death, and the inconvenience was that i had to bike all the way around to get home again, in the snow, took me an hour to get back. Jokes aside though, it's kind of a weird experience, i saw the blood on the snow, and they put up a memorial tribute to the kid for a while. And not far from there, when i used to bike to work in that area, there was a time when i smelled a foul smell at a certain bend, it lingered for weeks. Later i heard on the news that they had found 3 bodies that were dumped in some kind of hatch on the premises right next to that bend. Yuck.. Now i think of it, the son of a colleague of mine drowned right near the spot where i always have my smoke break when i'm at work, i work outdoors in town and roam around a lot, but usually go back to a spot that i like, with the birds and the bees and whatnot, but yeah, someone's son had died right there. There are so many places where people died, i wonder what the most unique spots are.

The so called "meteorite crater" in Antarctica is the product of a far more recent series of collapses of the below sealevel half of east Antarctica south of Australia. The overpressured Aquifer discharged in basal outburst gigafloods. It's channels run out to the coast where the Conger ice shelf recently collapsed. It's doing it again, as the Glacial icestreams have thinned, ruptured into several kilometer high ice cliffs, hundreds of kilometres inland. This has provided a free path to the sea, dumping the basal hydrostatic pressure, and Allowing the several thousand PSI at sealevel pressurised aquifer inland to discharge geothermally heated mud and water through the underlying strata to this vent system. Basically a underice hot mud volcano 🌋. Hiawatha is one of these too. NOT a friggen meteorite crater. The Great Lakes native copper deposits were produced by the same process when the Laurentide ice sheet collapses happened, precipitating metallic copper at 350C out of hot geothermal fluids. "Meteorite crater" is science paper code for "we'd rather not scare the kids with the truth here". Meteorites, unlike these phenomena, do not strike the same place twice. See the pattern?

THE F 22 is currently our most top secret fighter, won't be replaced for at least 30 years, and with ongoing upgrades it will probably become America's 7th generation fighter as well! Air/Space Force speculation has also brought forth some neat hypothetical ideas about crossing the F22 & A12C airframes to create a new, hypersonic, super stealth airframe for the 8th generation American Fighter, OR the 1st generation hypersonic, super stealth, ARMED, interplanetary Air/Space Defense Craft!

Oooooh new Simon channel! Will for sure be checking it out. I thought you were about to plug Casual Criminalist aha, excited to hear a new one. Although I still don’t understand how you make so many channels all with regular uploads 😅

[@laner.845]

I don't know about robots, but the Army has been working on cybernetic type suits for soldiers for years now. When I was deployed to Bagram in late 2011 I was selected to have lunch with a couple of the the Assistant Secretaries of the Army (Heidi Shyu) and Air Force (don't remember his name) for some big wig "see how happy our troops are" malarkey. I ended up sitting beside Sec. Shyu and we discussed some of the new biotech suits they were testing to help soldiers with strength, stamina, and speed. Who knows what kind of robotics they've got out there testing in a desert environment. It wouldn't surprise me if they left them laying around just to see how the weather impacts them over time.

I worked with a guy who served over in Afghanistan. He told me about some "weird stuff" that a fellow soldier friend of his described. He said that his friend saw a tank roll up to a bus and "fire lightning at it, almost immediately melting it into slag". This sounds like a "futuristic weapon system" that the US was talking about researching. Basically, the weapon consists of two components. The first being a relatively high powered laser which fires on a target. This laser isn't necessarily used to damage the target, but instead is used to knock electrons off of the target giving it a positive charge. The second component of the weapon is the interesting one. Before the laser fires, the weapon builds up a massive negative charge. A tiny fraction of a second after the laser fires, the negative charge is released and strikes the target. The two components fire so close to each other that the effect is basically "lightning wrapped around a laser", or "a lightning cannon". Based on the description he gave, it sounds like the thing is only effective at relatively close range.

3:11 image looking from the side looks like a topographical map of land or maybe the floor of ocean that would be cool

[@charlesdarienzo6686]

How the heck did you make an entire video WITHOUT showing ANY of the sat images? What was the point??? HAHAHA

[@John_Hoover]

The entire purpose of laying the robots uncovered might very well be to see how they fare when exposed to harsh elements 24/7/365. I highly doubt it was just a case of “oops, we forgot” or “we just don’t care.”

[@hugotavaresgomes9539]

Where are the images of the stuff you are talking about in the beginning?

[@tobascoheat6582]

These are really interesting vids that you make. If you make another one, I think the most fascinating place in all the world's oceans is the Marianas Trench!! I'd love to know what people have seen there!!!

[@francisfischer7620]

Utterly delightful fellow! Love to listen\watch him. Lovely sense of play. Great voice and articulation. And he can think! An amazing phenomena in-its-self!

[@stefanschleps8758]

He thinks he's God. Don't encourage him.

[@usernameinvalidforu]

Fourteen minutes and fifty-four seconds of disappointment. Also thank you for the free content, Simon, et al.

[@ladyyyhokage]

can't believe it's only been a little over a year since Into The Shadows started, that's one of my favorite channel's of Simon's

[@YusufGinnah]

*KZbin:* _"How many channels would you like to present?*_ *Simon Whistler:* *_"YES!!!"_*

[@seanbrazell7095]

To the producer who put this together, don't make a video on this subject if you can't summon the minimum effort neccessary to include the actual images you're going to talk about. DOUBLY SO if you have a sponsor and are profiting from each view. It's a waste of a well written and delivered script and well earned fan regard.

[@vtwinvon]

The "symbols" at RAF Feltwell are actually a training course for the motorcycle safety course. It is the exact same layout used in the US for the MSF course.

[@viperswhip]

My favourite disease was the version of the plague that bonded with pneumonia, ouch lol. There is an encyclopedia of plague and pestilence you may want to acquire for your new channel.

[@jaymay7957]

I remember being into the alien stuff when I was 19 with my friend and we went deep into the rabbit hole. And at the time pretty much covered everything you could. I got so burned out with it because it became this like loop of vague circular information always keeping us on the hampster wheel. Eventually I got tired of it and told my friend “dude we will never know we’re not gonna be the ones who figure it out and we’ll know as soon as everyone else does”

[@ArchFundy]

That's not a kraken. It's Sydney Powell. They appear very similar but the kraken isn't as evil.

[@danicalifornia505]

Do we know what the Chinese and Russian versions of Area 51 are and what sort of rumors are there about those places?

[@talasattila6401]

11:50 well the explanation is quite simple actually. for some reason the part of the lake where red algee is growing in such ammount, the water is warmer, while where we can see green algee more prominent, the water is colder. Red algee prefers warmer water. For example Red Sea isn't that red like a lake but it does have a higher concentration of red algee due to the fact that the Red Sea is warmer than the Black Sea for example. We learned about these in elementary school, as I recall, so it's not a big mistery either.

[@Smurfboy93]

My favorite part of this video about satellite images was the part where it contained no satellite images.

[@Russia-bullies]

You should feature the biggest natural effects on wars & the luckiest & unluckiest fates in wars.

[@randallshuck2976]

What are you talking about on RAF Feltwell? I lived at RAF Feltwell from 1971 through 1974 while stationed at RAF Mildenhall. I had no idea there was anything interesting there and I have walked most all of the base. The only interesting thing I saw there was a friendly hedgehog that tunneled into an abandoned munitions bunker.

[@billparks7368]

What is the music at 11:05? I've asked this question multiple times with no answer. It seems like it would be great for meditation.

[@snakeinthegrak8969]

Anyone know what song that is that's playing for the into to blood lake? It's around the 11:00 min mark.

[@jorriffhdhtrsegg]

13:00 the first impact and discovery of Adam used to build the giant 'robots' mentioned earlier

[@TK199999]

Recently a radar satellite discovered 2 large meteor craters off the coast of Gibraltar. Expeditions showed the meteor craters to be around 66 million years old, the same age and say mineral content as the Chicxulub crater belonging to the Asteroid that killed the non-Avian Dinosaurs 66 millions ago. Scientists now think that either the original asteroid 66 million years ago broke into 3 pieces as it hit the Earth or based on its size. Was in fact a ruble pile containing 3 major pieces. The two smaller pieces broke off and hit near Gibraltar, while the large piece hit off the coast of Mexico. This discovery explains many missing details, especially since our observations of large asteroids in our system shows ones over a kilometer tend to ruble piles rather than a single piece. But it shows that the area cataphatically affected by the initial impacts was spread out enough to affected multiple parts of planet at once. As for Area 51 rumor has it the base is not operational. Not since the law suits in the late 90's, no one will work at the base because its considered one of most toxic places on Earth. Due to past nuclear tests and burning of garbage on the site including early stealth materials. Parts of the lawsuits were declassified and are horror stories to read. The guards at the base are actually the same as those around US government super fund sites of toxic or nuclear waste dumps. With stuff seen on satellites of planes at the base, being mock ups to trick Russian and Chinese spy satellites. While the real base base was moved to Utah, nick named Area 52 (even though on map of Nevada there is part of the desert designated that), located at Dugway Proving Ground. Where chemical and biological weapons used to be tested by the US Army back in 40's and 50's. So yes a base where chemical and biological weapons were tested is considered safer and less toxic than Area 51.

[@lostbutfreesoul]

Don't forget you can play the game Accidental Not-see with these images. The amount of building complexes that take on the shape of that particular symbol is hilariously high.

[@balazsvarga1823]

Oy heil, the unter know, ahut this down! 🛸

[@EmrysMerlin8807]

I'm never goona believe it's aliens until Simon confirms it.

[@ardenalexa94]

Some people seem almost too keen to believe many things are caused by aliens it feels like.

[@richardfredericks4069]

wavy back in the 60's and early 70's, the military actually studied and made some demonstration of concept models of "walking" machines. In sci-fi games, these would be called "Mechs". Not sure the exact purpose was, but the Army's Transportation Museum at Joint Base Ft. Eustis in Virginia, has an example of one. From what I could see of it, at the time of concept, the technology was just not upto the task of what they were attempting. You could always do a video on it

[@erraticonteuse]

8:25 Time to see how much crossover there is between Simon's audience and the OFMD crew...

[@Stand_By_For_Mind_Control]

Huh. I actually lived a few blocks away from that blood river thing in Baghdad but I certainly never remember it being red. But we spent about a year living in the Akad district which is right next door to Sadr City where that is when I was in the Army.

[@danny75461]

What song is playing at 10:52

[@alexanderperez5347]

I want to know as well

[@getnohappy]

Wait, was that Deception Island? A riddle within an enigma indeed!

[@sonjafrost4]

You have such an elegant, classy way about you, Simon. Never change!!

[@zidbits1528]

Anyone know what the image at 13:07 is from? Is it a video game or movie? It's the demonic looking thing swiveling its head around looking about in a forest.

[@forestxander]

I just made a mess of my phone laughing with cookies in my mouth. It was the marvin thing. You got me.

[@AugmentedGravity]

Maybe this should have been on into the shadows itself

[@marinecor23]

It's been awhile. Anyone wanna give me an update on how many channels this mad lad is running??? Like Man's has damn near monopolized his niche. It's impressive

[@Bubbaist]

If you look at North Korea, they actually have concentration camps listed, such as “bukchang concentration camp.” I notice that they don’t have any reviews (you really don’t want to be the first to review that one). It sends a chill up my spine just to look at them!

[@Babbseagle12]

Aliens:"Well the lizards didn't work, the birds didn't work, let's try the monkeys"

[@Gremalus]

That Antarctica disc object was debunked quite early on. Turns out it had been enlarged and rotated so looked like something more mysterious than it actually was. I could be wrong but I think was Thunderf00t that busted it

[@FarmersWife43]

Sail Rock made me laugh when you showed a picture of it. It looks like a vertical fossilized turd. I laughed so very hard! All poop jokes aside, I found that I love this channel! I have it set to play all of them and pause them when I have to be away from my computer so I don't miss anything.

[@jamiehoneycutt4865]

It’s funny when he says it’s classified so we don’t know but then he continues to give you his assumption. Like you just said it was classified so we don’t know. Lmao

[@jon-paulfilkins7820]

The Robot at Area 51 = trolling, I'll buy that. Bored servicemen would definitely be up for that!
