North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) is a joint US-Canada military command tasked primarily with controlling and defending the airspace of North America. Formed in 1958, it has become the stuff of legend for a number of reasons, including the fact that (unlike the rest of the military) it’s not subject to FOIA, the way it dropped the ball on 9/11, and the enormous underground command center it built inside of a mountain.
That Combat Operations Center deep inside Cheyenne Mountain near Colorado Springs, Colorado, has triggered lots of speculation over the decades. NORAD moved its headquarters to nearby Peterson Air Force Base in 2006, but the underground complex is still used by a number of military and intelligence agencies.
Photos from inside the mountain have never been plentiful, and all images taken or released since 9/11 have been tightly controlled. But there are two older sources of images available, though they’ve been nearly impossible to obtain.
One is a NORAD report from 1966:
“NORAD Underground COC [Combat Operations Center]: Initial Requirement to Initial Operation, 1956-1966” by David W. Shircliffe, Directorate of Command History, Command Public Affairs Office, Headquarters NORAD.
The other source is a book from a tiny regional press that was published 46 years ago: NORAD Command Post: The City Inside Cheyenne Mountain by Henry W. Hough (Denver CO: Green Mountain Press, 1970). No copies are available on Amazon or ABE, and only 27 libraries in the world have a copy. Happily, I live near one of them.
Photos from both these publications are below. From “NORAD Underground COC: Initial Requirement to Initial Operation, 1956-1966”
From NORAD Command Post: The City Inside of Cheyenne Mountain
Caption: “NORAD LOOKOUT – High on the steep slopes of Cheyenne Mountain, looking out over the eastern Colorado plains, is this single-eyed structure. It is a blast resistant radio antenna and the messages it picks up are channeled to the Combat Operations Center hundreds of feet below and inside of the mountain. There are two of the microwave antennas and they are part of the center’s communications link with the outisde world. These two structures used 12,00 hundred-pound bags of cement and 60 tons of reinformcing steel to meet the hardness specifications.”
Caption: “These are two of the eleven buildings in the NORAD complex. While it possible to pass from one building to another through vestibules, the structures do not touch one another, nor do they touch the ceilings or walls of their granite cave. All the buildings are mounted on huge steel springs to protect the people and electronic equipment from shock waves.”
Caption: “CALLED FOR DEFENSE- Rows of mammoth springs made from three-inch diameter steel support the NORAD buildings. More than 900 of the springs, weighing 1,000 pounds eaach, cushion the buildings and their contents against jarring nuclear blasts or earthquakes. Working with the springs are the hydraulic dampers seen in the row at right. Like automobile shock absorbers, the dampers would reduce oscillations caused by a shock wave.”
Caption: “Operations personnel coming out of the underground NORAD Command Post through one of the 25-ton doors.”
Caption: “AIR DEFENSE WATCH – These display screens would display signs of air attack against Canada and the United States. By pushing buttons, the NORAD battle staff members can take an electronic look at the tracks of space satellites or aircraft, which are chartered on the display by computers This is the nerve center which would give the first warning of attack, and the command post from which NORAD battle commanders would direct the defensive air battle.”
Caption: “PATHS OF A SATELLITE – Deep within Colorado’s Cheyenne Mountain are large display screens which show what is going on in space. These screens in the NORAD Combat Operations Center can show the routes space satellites will take as they circle the earth, such as the ones here charted by a computer. By pushing buttons the battle staff members can see the paths a satellite will follow for as many as twelve revolutions in the future. While guarding the continent against air attack, the command is also responsible for keeping tabs on space obejects orbiting the earth.”
Caption: “DISTINGUISHED VISITORS – Richard M. Nixon is September 1969 became the first U.S. President to visit the underground command post of the North American Air Defense Command. He is shown here in NORAD’s Space Defense Center being briefed by General Seth J. McKee, commander in chief of NORAD. Left to right are: Gordon Allott, U.S. Senator from Colorado; President Nixon; General McKee; Dr. Henry A. Kissinger, Presidential assistant; Peter H. Dominick, U.S. Senator from Colorado; and John N. Mitchell, U.S. Attorney General.”
Caption: “DIRECTING AIR DEFENSE FORCES – These men shoulder the responsibility for determining whether an enemy has launched an air attack against North America, and of directing the defensive air battles should one ever be fought. directing air defense forces. U.S. Air Force General Seth J. McKee (foreground) is the commander in chief of the North American Air Defense Command, and Canadian Forces Lieutenant General Edward M Reyno is the deputy commander in chief. They are shown at their command positions in NORAD’s underground Combat Operations Center near Colorado Springs. Data channeled to the center give the generals and their battle staff the information they need to assess the threat to the continent, to give warning of an impending air attack and, finally, to direct the actions of Canadian and U.S. air defense forces in thwarting the attack.
Caption: “SPACE BROWNIE – The most sensitive and precise satellite-tracking instrument in NORAD’s satellite detection and tracking network is the Baker-Nunn camera, shown here. It can photograph light reflected from an object the size of a basketball out in space about 25,000 miles. This camera, at Cold Lake, Alberta, is operated by the Canadian Forces Air Defense Command. Others supplying data to the NORAD Space Defense Center in Colorado are operated by the U.S. Air Force and the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory. By identification and correlation of known star backgrounds in the Baker-Nunn photographs, a satellite’s position can be determined with great precision.”

The Memory Hole 2 has obtained a copy.
(4) I remember reading somewhere that while they were building this installation they discovered enlarged and reused some already existing ancient tunnel’s within the mountain, it was probably just a lie to fill out a story in a book or somewhere on the
(5) internet but if true then it would be interesting, of course all it could have meant is that they stumbled onto some old abandoned mine working’s and decided to make use of them.
(6) However while this site is now ancient it is still an interesting asset and undoubtedly has long since been expanded and upgraded.
Still remember that the US does have these technology’s and and has had them for decades now.
(7) IF real then it would mean that rumors of very large underground – and undersea facility’s that make this old site look like a broom closet are in fact true.
Russia also has it’s own sites dating back to the slave labour of the soviet years such as the Yamantau
(8) underground facility which the Russian Federation still keep’s top secret to this day but which is rumored to be truly massive in scale and consisting of not one but several underground facility’s
(9) linked by train’s as well as a possible underground trains to several other sites.
It is likely that both the soviet union and the US were in a bit of an undeclared arms race to develop these machines at one point.
(10) The US version however seems to be far superior at least compared to this much older and more primitive mock of the soviet one.
Likely though not a patch on the completely hidden but rumoured US black budget underground sites.
(11) The problem with the Cheyenne mountain site is that it is too famous, they know exactly were it is and can attack it directly so at best it was a short lived command center while the real one’s were probably moved into hardened black budget facility’s and
(12) of these the soviets there spy satellites and even the US own top secret base builders with the exception of the engineers and planners would not have known there location except for service point’s and surface access location’s, being designed to survive the
(13) obliteration of the surface they are probably completely self sustaining, some have probably been failures due to the structure of the material they encountered and are probably now convenient waste dump’s as well.
(14) Think about city sized military base and even another America designed to house the elite and selected individual’s for the long haul in case the worst came to the worst.
Obviously the planners never read the bible though.
(15) And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
14And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
(16) 15And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
(17) 16And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
17For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

There are many rumors of secret military tunnels in the United States. If the rumors are true, machines such as the one shown here are used to make the tunnels.
