Summary

Welcome to Episode 219: Pine Gap: Spies, Super Soldiers, Wormholes, & Aliens! Today, we’ll be traveling to the center of Australia’s outback to a facility that has been dubbed “Australia’s Area 51”. Over the years, its presence has generated protests, documentaries, fictional Netflix dramas, and more than one conspiracy theory. Some say it’s a spy base for the American government, some say it’s an innocent science laboratory, some say it's a satellite-tracking facility for the military, and some say it’s the site of an interdimensional wormhole where aliens can easily enter and exit Earth’s atmosphere. Join us on this week’s episode of Let’s Get Haunted, as we dive deep into the conspiracies of Pine Gap, Australia.
