12 places prohibited to the public in the world

You will certainly never be able to visit these different secret places on the planet because they show extreme surveillance on a daily basis...

We all watched at least once a series of American police/scientific style "NCIS Special Investigations" or « FBI Portés Disparus » . Some top secret organisms are present there, be it laboratories that carry out strange experiments or territories held by the army to test their new weapons. If in the movies these zones are well secured, in real life it is the same thing. Indeed, there are places in the world exclusively reserved for certain people and which cannot be approached. We present 12 of them in this article.

12. Area 51 in the United States

This geographic area is located in America in the state of Nevada. It is an aeronautical research area that regularly performs tests on more or less futuristic devices. It is known for hosting the Lockheed U-2 a spy plane used in the Second World War against Soviet territory. This place is highly monitored by truck patrols, helicopters and motion detectors. It is the subject of many conspiracy theories about UFOs: many people think that the workers in the area study their flying machines or imitate relations with aliens... It is possible to go check him closer. .

11. Pine Gap in Australia

This station in the center of the Australia does not have a landing track, so it is only accessible by road. It is a site that is forbidden to the public because it is to monitor the satellites in order to track the messages they record, identify certain signals and analyze them. If from the outside you can see some sort of domes, the welcoming base 800 people is mostly underground and therefore has many secrets to hide.

10. Pripyat, ghost town

This Ukrainian village called Pripyat was once populated by many inhabitants, but it has been abandoned for some thirty years, because of the nuclear catastrophe of Chernobyl occurred in 1986. The accident led the population to flee their homes not to be contaminated with radiation on the ground. These are indeed a great danger to the different living species (humans, plants, animals). According to specialists, a week of exposure would be sufficient to cause the death of a person, hence the obligation not to approach this city. That being said, people have lived in and around the area for years...

9. North Sentinel Island

Located in the Gulf of Bengale, this island houses a native tribe called Sentinels . This civilization rejects all contact with other human beings: it is one of the last remaining isolated communities in the modern world. It follows a simple lifestyle guided by fishing and picking. If their territory is considered a forbidden place on Earth, it is good because they do not appreciate that foreigners approach their home. A welcome with arcs and arrows is never very happy...

8. The Bohemian Grove

Bohemian Grove is a private property of 11 km2 in California, in which approximately 2000 people meet each year, for two weeks, to talk about world affairs and to practice special rites: “Cremation of Care” that is, "dry worries" . This secret place is reserved only for influential men of the planet such as bankers, presidents (George Bush, Bill Clinton, Valery Giscard d’Estaing...), ministers, governors, directors of the FBI and the CIA, actors (Clint Eastwood), billionaires, scientists (Neil Armstrong)... and we don’t know exactly what they are doing there.

7. The Vatican archives

The Apostolic Secret Archives Vatican City are located in the Holy See (assimilated to the Pope) and represent a wide collection of manuscripts, books, ancient tablets, acts, which describe events of the past and various information that concern the government and the world in general. Only the Pope can freely access these documents, as well as some authorities of the Catholic hierarchy in exceptional cases. For example, there are descriptions of the trial of Galilee, the excommunication of Martin Luther, or the letters of Michelangelo...

6. The White Gentleman Club

Founded in 1693, this residence is the oldest gentleman's club in London. Very exclusive, only some important men are allowed to attend meetings, such as Charles (the Prince of Wales) or Prince William (the Duke of Cambridge) for example. In the past, this place was used to sell hot chocolate, a very rare drink at the time. Today, we do not know why members of British high society are still meeting there.

5. L’Alcatraz des Rocheuses

This American prison called ADX Florence , in Colorado, is also known as the "Alcatraz des Rocheuses". It is the world’s most watched prison because there are the most dangerous men of the planet (terrorists, members of the mafia or gangs): when you enter this building, you never get there. The 400 prisoners are in their cell in solitary confinement 23 hours a day to avoid contact between them.

4. Poveglia Island

This island near Venice is in quarantine because it served as a cemetery for the victims of the plague from the Middle Ages. There is also a psychiatric hospital that was established in the contemporary era, but it has been completely abandoned since then. This territory is considered one of the most haunted places on the planet: many supernatural stories are told and the island is forbidden to the public.

3. Metro-2 in Moscow

This metro line that stands out from Moscow public network has never been admitted by the Russian government. However, some studies have been able to identify tunnels suggesting its existence: Metro-2 would serve as an evacuation conduit for important personalities in critical situations. It was secretly set up by Stalin in order to be able to safely reach certain buildings such as the FSB headquarters, the Ministry of Defence, an international airport and a military city.

2. The Mont Weather

This emergency operations centre is located in North America in the state of Virginia. This is a place that allows the government to be sheltered in the event of a disaster, whether it is natural (tempest, flood...) or human (including the attacks of September 11, 2001). If Mont Weather is used for this kind of event, we don’t know what’s going on in the rest of the year... One thing is certain, the public cannot have access to this site, it is reserved for the military and important people of the country.

1. Office 39

Division 39 is a secret government organization in North Korea to support Kim Jong-un's current North Korea leader. It would have more than $5 billion due to the sale of arms, including drug trafficking. Being a very militarized and very closed country, it is difficult to have more information on this subject...
