Editing Secret facilities

'''Secret facilities''' refer to locations where classified work is conducted, often associated with [[unidentified aerial phenomena]] (UAP), clandestine operations, or [[black budget]] projects. These may include [[Deep Underground Military Base|deep underground military bases]] (DUMBs), [[secret space program|off-world sites]], or facilities unacknowledged by official records.

== Types ==

=== Public-facing (white world) ===
These facilities conduct [[classification|classified]] activities but are publicly acknowledged. Their locations are known, marked on maps, and sometimes even partially accessible to the public. Examples include [[CIA]] headquarters at Langley and the [[National Security Agency|NSA]] complex at Fort Meade, where vast amounts of [[intelligence collection|compartmentalized HUMINT]] are processed. Despite their transparency in location, unauthorized disclosure of their activities can pose extreme risks.

=== Unacknowledged (grey world) ===
Grey world facilities are those whose existence may not be explicitly denied but whose purpose and operations remain classified. Examples include [[continuity of government]] bunkers, such as [[Site-R]] and the [[Mount Weather Emergency Operations Center]], as well as [[private military contractor|defense contractor]] sites. These locations often support highly sensitive operations, including testing [[emerging technologies]] or facilitating emergency preparedness.

=== Denied (black sites) ===
Black sites operate entirely outside the realm of official acknowledgment. Their existence, activities, and purpose are categorically denied, with extreme measures taken to suppress any unauthorized disclosures. [[Extraordinary rendition]] airfields, covert research and development complexes, and certain [[CIA]] prisons exemplify this category. These facilities are rumored to exist both domestically and internationally, often shielded by [[compartmentalization|compartmentalized secrecy]] and [[plausible deniability]].

== Notable examples ==

=== Public-facing ===
* [[CIA headquarters|CIA HQ]]
* [[National Security Agency|NSA HQ]]
* [[Defense Intelligence Agency|DIA HQ]]
* [[Nevada National Security Site]]
* [[The Pentagon]]
* [[The White House]]

=== Unacknowledged ===
* [[Site-R]]
* [[Mount Weather Emergency Operations Center]]
* [[Presidential Emergency Operations Center|PEOC]]
* [[Dugway Proving Ground]]
* [[Cheyenne Mountain Complex]]

=== Black sites ===
* [[Area 51]] (officially acknowledged in 2013, yet still highly restricted)
* [[Abu Ghraib prison]] (pre-closure covert operations)
* [[Guantanamo Bay detention camp|GITMO]]
* [[Room 641A]]
* Alleged [[DUMBs]] under [[Dulce Base]] and [[Denver International Airport]] and elsewhere

== Alleged secret and off-world facilities ==
Numerous secret facilities have also been claimed to be operated in normally inaccessible regions of Earth or beyond Earth. These facilities are allegedly controlled by various [[terrestrial humans|terrestrial]] and [[non-terrestrial humans|non-terrestrial]] — including [[non-human intelligent|NHI]]-run — governments and corporations. Alleged sites include a [[Pleiadian/Nazi base]] in [[New Swabia]],[[moon base|bases on the Moon]], [[Mars base|Mars]], and [[Ceres base|Ceres]]. There are also allegedly orbiting extraterrestrial bases run by [[secret space program]]s and entire [[Solar Warden fleet|fleets]] of unacknowledged  space vessels. This article's scope includes [[NHI]]-run facilities, which is natural because many of the most important ostensibly [[terrestrial human]]-owned bases were allegedly built using [[Technological development assistance by NHIBs to terrestrial humans|NHI-derived technology]].

== Related concepts ==
Secret facilities are closely tied to a range of controversial topics, including:
* [[Unacknowledged Special Access Programs|USAPs]]
* [[Majestic 12]]
* [[Continuity of Government]]
* [[Exopolitics]]
* [[Reverse-engineering extraterrestrial technology]]
* [[Project Serpo]]
* [[MKUltra]]
* [[Deep state]]

These installations and the activities they encompass are central to theories regarding [[extraterrestrial contact]], advanced [[black project]] technologies, and covert [[geopolitical control]].
