Abandoned military project: Secret US army base explored

Abandoned Italy: Sardinia (subtitles available) Episode 02 "4 Carlie"

On the highest mountain massif in northern Sardinia, a formerly secret US military base is located. This is a place where the ghost of the Cold War is still present today. In the past, locals have told many rumors and stories about this place which have endured to this day. In this episode, we want to find out the truth. Join us as we travel back in time to declassify the past! #urbex #abandonedplaces #bwturbex

The archive material shown in this episode was taken from Vincenzo Frenda's film "Nato segreta" and a 1967 US Army production "Your Army Reports No. 10".

Our summer holidays are over! Well, it was not really a holiday since we were out exploring basically the whole time - but we did not upload much to our channel. That will change now. We are focusing on editing again! In the second installment of Abandoned Italy: Sardinia we are exploring a former US army base and discover an abandoned military project. Let us know your opinion about our new video!

The stillness and silence of these remote, once busy, locations is always unnerving.

That "you left your shit america" graffiti is amazing. That photo with the sun shining through and that graffiti was insanely well composed and I'd buy a print of that to hang on my wall.

My husband was stationed at that site in 1976 (among 30 other guys) in charge of the radio equipment and, on the side, he ran the bar among other things. He said it was really interesting and the view was absolutely beautiful. Nothing underground and not so secret. We really enjoyed the video. I wish someone had video of how it was back then.

6:55 - That camera skills! Smooth pass through the door 👌

This site is part of the 486L Mediterranean Communications System (MEDCOM). The system was commissioned by the US Air Force in 1966. Federal Electric Corporation (ITT) was the primary contractor for the construction of the entire system.

The view is quite nice from here. I will have to check it out someday.

Your video production quality improves with each new episode. Great work!

[hendrikgroove]

Apart from what already has been said, I'd like to point out the great music selection. It really adds to the overall atmosphere of the video.

I truly enjoy it when you get this kind of installation to film. You take such care to show the contrasts between Nature and the things we build. As always, your use of light and shape is exquisite. The music you have incorporated is perfect, and well placed. I grew up in the Cold War, and I appreciate your summation, you always bring knowledge and a touch of philosophy to your films…and it works. Thank you.🖤🇨🇦

I think I learn more history from BWT than I do from my history teacher. But for real, this video was perfect as always! For me they’re like therapy. As a full time student with four extra curriculars, the days can become very monotonous. But every night I watch your videos and share your adventures and I imagine that some day, I’d be there myself. Gut gemacht!!!!

One of the few exploration channel in which we come back regularly and still amazed every time. Your videos are mesmerizing. Huge source of inspiration. Thanks for taking us on your journey

[misforyoutube]

A lot of great shots in this episode, thanks for taking us with you on this journey.

[BilisNegra]

I can see how this place will be staple for your next calendar. So impressive, grand, and iconic, paired with your photography skills.

[ken_zaire]

[soukthavoneinsisienmay]

How you guys are not at the million subscribers is beyond my comprehension! You're amazing! Keep up the good work. I enjoy every content you upload. It always feels like I'm exploring with you. Good job! 🤜🤛

[MrLt]

Top notch work once again ! Glad to see you back !

[mr.ruinenfan]

Great video and awsome location, guys 👏. The view from the dishes of the antenna belonging to the former US military base and the drone footage are just amazing. Tills explanations are super. See you in the next video (nice and creepy preview). Many greetings from Northern Germany to Saxony 👏👍😊

[TheRogueUrbex]

All I can say is WOW! I really enjoy your content. Such an epic exploration. Your videography is amazing, very professional!!

[dougheisenberch]

Thank you for your great work, amazing capturing of the past cold war vibes, at these places

This kinda reminds me of the abandoned cold war radar base in Truro, MA. That was fun to explore back in the 90s as a kid. Back before the military transferred ownership to the park service, when it was still fenced in and sealed off Now it's some sort of artist colony and most of the structures are being demolished.
