Secrets Declassified with David Duchovny

Forget the moon or the stars – every government has even bigger designs in the race to dominate the furthest corners of the sky. Uncover a plane crash in North Carolina that almost triggered nuclear Armageddon, the story of a UFO attack on a U.S. missile base that was suppressed for decades, and a daring Israeli heist to steal a cutting-edge fighter jet – right from under their enemies’ noses.

What lies beneath? David Duchovny takes us into the top-secret government bases and the clandestine operations they were built to conceal. Discover a deadly poison lab operated by the Soviet Union's infamous "Doctor Death," a vast nuclear missile site buried beneath the Greenland ice sheet, and the U.S. government's doomsday bunker concealed inside a hollowed-out mountain.

When is Mission: Impossible more than just a movie? From the gaspingly record-shattering depths submarine divers have plunged to tap a secret Soviet communication line to the Special Ops team of suicidal soldiers sent to hand-deploy A-bombs in enemy territory, newly uncensored evidence will reveal the lengths that the few and the elite have gone to within the most hostile lands, all in the name of completing the mission.

In the razor's-edge theater of global brinkmanship, the world has come closer to annihilation than most ever knew. A NATO war game once spooked the Soviets toward a potential nuclear strike, while a daring Cold War project produced a drone-bomber hybrid capable of carrying 16 nuclear weapons. From experimental war machines to the Presidential "Doomsday Plane" built to command America through apocalypse, these are the plans that reveal how near we've stood to the unthinkable.

Step inside hidden areas where history was steered in secret, from Churchill's wartime bunker, complete with a direct line to FDR concealed inside his private bathroom, to a Soviet weapons base in the desert exposed only by a daring U-2 spy mission.

David Duchovny exposes a clandestine nuclear blast set off deep below Mississippi soil, and secret experiments conducted on citizens in the New York subway system.
