That’s just the tip of the iceberg. You can now get a tour of the area and see how it is now used by companies from all the over world who continue testing. Today, however, they use the same crash test dummies that are used in the auto industry.
I’ve toured the site twice since I moved here in 1998.
who did you contact? I have lived here most of my life and would love to take a tour.
Very cool video. I drive by there all the time, and heard they did some crazy stuff up there. Can’t help but feel bad for the monkeys though, must have been one wild ride!
Oh my God I love these $#@!# videos. What’s next? You guys should go to Silver Reef, I heard when they use to mine out there that there use to be a bar and maybe a brothel?? Or better yet you should ride around with bicycle cops. I think what I like most about these videos is that you guys don’t give a $#%$ what people think. They are what they are. You guys should find the oldest living people in St. George and interview them. That might be interesting to hear about what it was like versus what it is like now.
I will say this, you guys prick my interest and get me to research a lot of stuff that I normally wouldn’t think about or care about. That facility really is shrouded in mystery. I’ve tried to find out how many bears and monkeys they killed, where they housed them, and how they brought them here and fed them, etc. There’s not really a ton of info that you can find. I love the speech at the end when he goes off on the wild west and Butch Cassidy. That was funny. Then the gun goes off and there is a slight hesitation during the speech. That was priceless. Is there a reoccurring shepherd? What is that? Jesus? I keep finding all these little hidden gems. Thank you St. George News, my wife and I love these videos. What about a story about the Mountain Massacre? Maybe its too controversial? It would be a good one though.
Looks to me like a couple of … out to play. No information, just more hype and BS. Watching that was a total waste of time. But I’ll be both ZONKERB and his li’l friend SMELLY SHELLY got a kick out of it. Or not. It may have been above their mentality.

Well, MET, the No Filter boys intend their show to be light and comedic adventure here and there about Southern Utah … it is not a “news” offering.

Evil, you sound a wee bit jealous?! And it seems like they get exactly what they are hoping for when you comment. It says several things about you. 1. You watch their show. 2. You find it so degrading that you just HAVE to comment, this makes no sense. 3. The fact that you have time to make a negative comment seems like you have nothing of value to offer the world. I hope this isn’t that case, but it certainly feels like it. To the EIC, you’re doing a great job. I enjoy NF.
We love these videos they are so cool what a refreshing point of view with a laugh absolutely loved it… Keep the. No Filter videos coming to the EIC thank you we all enjoy No Filter
