0:00 · Hey everyone, welcome to Sidetrack
0:01 · Adventures. This is Steve.
0:04 · We are deep in the Mojave Desert, a
0:07 · place filled with strange stories and
0:09 · forgotten relics. And today we're going
0:12 · to be visiting one of the weirdest of
0:13 · them all, the Mojave Megaphone.
0:17 · Nobody knows who built it, and nobody
0:19 · knows why it's there. Some say it's art,
0:23 · others think it's a leftover from a
0:25 · secret military experiment, and a few
0:27 · believe it is something else. entirely.
0:33 · We are starting out today between
0:34 · Barstow and Baker near the entrance to
0:37 · Aftton Canyon.
0:43 · This is the entrance to Aftton Canyon
0:45 · off in the distance
0:48 · and traveling under the bridge here is
0:51 · the historic Mojave Road.
0:54 · But we're going to be pretty much
0:55 · heading in this direction following the
0:57 · railroad tracks for a while.
1:07 · In just a minute, we'll get away from
1:09 · the actual tracks. We don't really want
1:11 · to be driving here when a train shows
1:12 · up.
1:15 · This is the Union Pacific line, but it
1:17 · was originally the Los Angeles and Salt
1:19 · Lake Railroad.
1:22 · But the reason we're traveling out here
1:24 · today, the Mojave Megaphone, also known
1:28 · as the Sentinel Enigma,
1:30 · has puzzled travelers for decades.
1:33 · Perched high on a lonely ridge, it
1:36 · stares silently across one of the most
1:37 · remote stretches of desert in
1:39 · California.
1:41 · No one knows exactly who built it, why
1:43 · it's here, or what purpose it once
1:46 · served.
1:50 · As we'll see, this thing is pretty
1:52 · remote and not exactly easy to get to.
1:58 · Whoever put it there went through a lot
2:00 · of effort. And that's part of what makes
2:02 · it so mysterious because getting it out
2:05 · here was no easy task.
2:14 · This is the first train we've seen since
2:15 · we've been out here. The railroad tracks
2:18 · kind of cut the desert in half as there
2:20 · aren't a lot of good places to get from
2:22 · one side of the tracks to the other.
2:26 · You may have to go miles in either
2:28 · direction to find a crossing.
2:34 · And when there's a rare crossing that
2:35 · goes over the tracks, some of these
2:38 · trains are quite long and you could be
2:40 · waiting for a while to get to the other
2:41 · side.
2:48 · Luckily for us though, we don't need to
2:50 · cross the tracks today. We'll be staying
2:51 · on the south side of them.
3:02 · But speaking of the railroad, the
3:03 · railroad actually ties into one of the
3:05 · theories about what the Mojave Megaphone
3:07 · might be and why it's out here in the
3:10 · first place.
3:12 · Some people have theorized that the
3:14 · Mojave Megaphone was actually built for
3:17 · the railroad.
3:21 · According to this theory, trains
3:24 · carrying hazardous chemicals or fuel
3:26 · would pass near here, and the Mojave
3:28 · megaphone might have been used to
3:30 · project a siren, a signal that a
3:33 · dangerous train was on its way, or that
3:35 · a spill had occurred somewhere down the
3:37 · line.
3:43 · But here's the problem. No records of
3:46 · such a system exist. And as we'll see
3:48 · when we get out to it, the structure
3:51 · doesn't match any known design for
3:52 · railroad sirens.
3:55 · Plus, it really isn't that close to the
3:57 · railroad. You'd think if it was a
3:59 · warning, they'd put it closer.
4:07 · My guess is it's probably not a warning
4:08 · horn, but something else entirely.
4:17 · We've just come to a spot where you can
4:18 · see the road had been paved at one time.
4:26 · This is called Crusero, and this is
4:28 · where the Union Pacific and the Tonapa
4:30 · and Tidewater railroads met.
4:36 · For a while, there was a small town
4:37 · here. It had a post office, a telegraph
4:40 · station, and a few hearty people who
4:43 · called this blistering outpost home. But
4:46 · when the Tonapawa and Tidewater shut
4:48 · down in the early 1940s, the trains
4:51 · stopped meeting here and the town died.
4:56 · And looking around, there's not much
4:57 · evidence that anything was ever here.
5:00 · Though some of these streets are still
5:02 · labeled on the map, such as Main Street
5:04 · and First Street,
5:09 · but other than this grid of roads in the
5:11 · middle of nowhere, you would never guess
5:14 · a town was right Here.
5:39 · There are a few cement blocks over here.
5:42 · probably what's left of the railroad
5:44 · sighting for the Tonopah and Tidewater.
5:48 · Maybe this sign could give us a little
5:49 · bit more information, but I don't think
5:52 · we'll be reading it today.
5:59 · But you can still make out the old
6:00 · railroad bed here.
6:05 · I looked to see if I could find any
6:07 · photos of the old sighting here, but
6:09 · unfortunately I wasn't able to find
6:10 · anything.
6:15 · You can see the Union Pacific line here.
6:17 · After the Tonopon and Tidewater crossed
6:19 · the Union Pacific, it would continue
6:21 · south from here. And its southern
6:23 · terminus was the town of Lello,
6:27 · which isn't too far from here. I believe
6:29 · there were only two or three other stops
6:31 · between here and Lello.
6:35 · But since this was the intersection of
6:36 · two major railroads, as you could see,
6:38 · this was a pretty big sighting here.
6:42 · But we need to head a little bit further
6:44 · south to those mountains in the
6:46 · distance.
7:19 · And we finally arrived. There it is up
7:22 · on the hill up ahead.
7:24 · The mysterious Mojave Megaphone.
7:34 · Let's go ahead and climb up and get a
7:36 · closer look at it.
7:41 · There is some sort of cross over here.
7:43 · Looks like it says JFW and dirt bag
7:46 · crew.
7:52 · It looks like there's a little bit of a
7:53 · trail here.
7:57 · As you can see, it's not exactly easy to
7:59 · get up there, which just adds to the
8:01 · mystery.
8:04 · Getting back into the theories of what
8:07 · this could be, this part of the Mojave
8:10 · has seen just about every kind of
8:11 · testing you can imagine. Weapons
8:14 · testing, flight experiments, even secret
8:17 · training grounds going back to World War
8:19 · II.
8:21 · Some people think this megaphone might
8:24 · have been an acoustic monitor, maybe
8:27 · something to measure shock waves from
8:28 · explosions or the sonic booms of test
8:31 · flights.
8:35 · Others think it was used to relay
8:36 · warning sirens across the desert, maybe
8:39 · part of an early warning network for
8:41 · chemical weapons testing.
8:44 · As we saw with Crusero, that settlement
8:47 · was there until the 1940s. So, if there
8:49 · was some sort of World War II era
8:52 · testing going on, there was a settlement
8:54 · not too far from here.
8:58 · To me, that all sounds far-fetched.
9:02 · But then again, so does a giant metal
9:05 · megaphone bolted to a mountain in the
9:07 · middle of nowhere.
9:14 · Whoever carried it up here had to carry
9:17 · it over this kind of terrain.
9:20 · And each section of it weighs over 300
9:23 · lb.
9:30 · As far as this thing having something to
9:32 · do with the military, there's no
9:34 · paperwork, no photos, and no sign the
9:37 · military ever had anything right here.
9:42 · So, another idea is that this is some
9:44 · kind of survey or signaling device.
9:49 · If you look at old maps, this ridge
9:52 · lines up almost perfectly north to
9:54 · south.
9:57 · Though, it doesn't look like the rocks
9:58 · that it's bolted to line up the same
10:00 · way.
10:07 · I just checked. It's about 15 degrees
10:10 · off north to south.
10:19 · But looking inside the megaphone,
10:22 · there's a metal crossbar that almost
10:24 · looks like a sight.
10:38 · Here you can see the welding job on this
10:40 · thing. Not exactly the best welding ever
10:43 · done. And the two halves are bolted
10:46 · together.
10:53 · And here we can see where the megaphone
10:55 · is bolted into the boulders.
11:06 · Some people think this might have been
11:07 · used as a fixed point for a
11:09 · triangulation or to mark a boundary, but
11:13 · nobody's ever been able to figure out
11:14 · what it's supposed to line up with.
11:32 · And of course, there are some people who
11:34 · take the mystery even further, saying it
11:37 · was built to send or receive signals
11:40 · from UFOs.
11:47 · I would hope that aliens who could
11:49 · travel across the stars could do a
11:51 · better welding job than this though. But
11:53 · then again, who are we to understand the
11:55 · minds of aliens?
12:06 · It looks like unfortunately some people
12:08 · have shot the Mojave megaphone as well.
12:16 · If nothing else, there is a pretty great
12:18 · view from up here. But then again, when
12:21 · you're up here and you see all this
12:23 · emptiness,
12:25 · you know there is no way this was a
12:28 · siren to warn anyone of anything because
12:31 · there is no one around here to warn.
12:43 · This area is just so remote and even the
12:46 · railroad and the old settlement of
12:48 · Crusero are miles from here.
13:00 · Another thing working against a lot of
13:02 · the theories out there about the
13:04 · megaphone is it doesn't seem to be as
13:06 · old as people think.
13:10 · The mystery itself wasn't even really
13:12 · known until the early 2000s.
13:16 · Desert magazine, which famously covered
13:18 · everything big and small in the Mojave,
13:22 · doesn't appear to have ever even
13:23 · mentioned the megaphone before it
13:25 · stopped publishing in 1985.
13:29 · A mystery like this doesn't seem to be
13:32 · something they would have overlooked.
13:44 · In my research, I tried to find the
13:46 · earliest possible mention of the Mojave
13:48 · Megaphone that I could find. And the
13:50 · farthest back that I was able to find
13:52 · anything was 1990.
13:55 · And this is where if you want the Mojave
13:57 · Megaphone to remain a mystery to you,
14:00 · you should probably stop watching.
14:03 · Long before anyone had called this the
14:05 · Mojave Megaphone, in December 1990, the
14:09 · Desert Dispatch newspaper in Barstow,
14:11 · California, printed an article titled
14:14 · Mojave Desert Holds Many Secrets, and
14:17 · one of those secrets was called The
14:20 · Drum.
14:24 · The article goes on to quote a Bureau of
14:26 · Land Management ranger who states that
14:29 · he had met the maker of the drum, what
14:31 · is now called the Mojave Megaphone, a
14:34 · year earlier and that he brings up skins
14:36 · to make drum heads and wires it to a
14:39 · generator powered amplifier.
14:46 · The article also confirmed that this was
14:48 · brought up by hand, which certainly
14:51 · shows some dedication.
14:57 · Unfortunately, the article doesn't
14:59 · mention the creator's name, but unless
15:01 · the ranger was making up the story for
15:03 · whatever reason, it appears that this
15:06 · was built to be a drum.
15:10 · Why this spot was chosen and why they
15:12 · did it is still a mystery. But at least
15:15 · despite what the History Channel might
15:17 · say, we could be pretty sure that aliens
15:20 · didn't build this.
15:30 · And if we bang on it, we can see how it
15:32 · would make a pretty good drum or a bell.
15:46 · While the Mojave Megaphone probably
15:48 · wasn't part of a secret military
15:49 · experiment, a railroad warning system,
15:53 · or a device to communicate with aliens,
15:55 · it still remains a fascinating mystery.
15:58 · Considering the effort it took to build
16:00 · it and place it here, and the fact that
16:03 · its creator has stayed anonymous ever
16:04 · since,
16:06 · it's still one of the most intriguing
16:08 · sites in the Mojave.
16:22 · Of course, after saying that, I don't
16:24 · know how well it shows up on the camera,
16:26 · but almost directly in line with the
16:28 · Mojave Megaphone, there is something in
16:31 · the distance that looks to be man-made.
16:33 · So, I guess real quick, we have to go
16:35 · check that out.
16:48 · We've made it to the area where it
16:50 · looked like there was something man-made
16:51 · that the Mojave megaphone was pointing
16:53 · to. The Mojave Megaphone is back in this
16:56 · direction.
16:58 · And when we turn around here, yeah,
17:00 · there was something man-made here. There
17:03 · is a tractor with a no trespassing sign
17:05 · and some trailers.
17:12 · Well, unless the builder of the Mojave
17:14 · Megaphone knew that in the future
17:16 · there'd be a tractor and some trailers
17:18 · here, I don't think it's pointing to
17:20 · anything. So, that's our look at the
17:23 · mystery of the Mojave Megaphone. Thank
17:25 · you so much for watching. If you enjoyed
17:27 · the video, please give it a thumbs up,

7:24	·	The mysterious Mojave Megaphone.
7:34	·	Let's go ahead and climb up and get a
7:36	·	closer look at it.
7:41	·	There is some sort of cross over here.
7:43	·	Looks like it says JFW and dirt bag

9:42	·	So, another idea is that this is some
9:44	·	kind of survey or signaling device.
9:49	·	If you look at old maps, this ridge
9:52	·	lines up almost perfectly north to
9:54	·	south.
9:57	·	Though, it doesn't look like the rocks
9:58	·	that it's bolted to line up the same
10:00	·	way.
10:07	·	I just checked. It's about 15 degrees
10:10	·	off north to south.
10:19	·	But looking inside the megaphone,
10:22	·	there's a metal crossbar that almost
10:24	·	looks like a sight.
10:38	·	Here you can see the welding job on this
10:40	·	thing. Not exactly the best welding ever
10:43	·	done. And the two halves are bolted
10:46	·	together.
10:53	·	And here we can see where the megaphone
10:55	·	is bolted into the boulders.
11:06	·	Some people think this might have been
11:07	·	used as a fixed point for a
11:09	·	triangulation or to mark a boundary, but
11:13	·	nobody's ever been able to figure out
11:14	·	what it's supposed to line up with.
11:32	·	And of course, there are some people who
11:34	·	take the mystery even further, saying it
11:37	·	was built to send or receive signals
11:40	·	from UFOs.
11:47	·	I would hope that aliens who could
11:49	·	travel across the stars could do a
11:51	·	better welding job than this though. But
11:53	·	then again, who are we to understand the
11:55	·	minds of aliens?
12:06	·	It looks like unfortunately some people
12:08	·	have shot the Mojave megaphone as well.
12:16	·	If nothing else, there is a pretty great
12:18	·	view from up here. But then again, when
12:21	·	you're up here and you see all this
12:23	·	emptiness,
12:25	·	you know there is no way this was a
12:28	·	siren to warn anyone of anything because
12:31	·	there is no one around here to warn.
12:43	·	This area is just so remote and even the
12:46	·	railroad and the old settlement of
12:48	·	Crusero are miles from here.
13:00	·	Another thing working against a lot of
13:02	·	the theories out there about the
13:04	·	megaphone is it doesn't seem to be as
13:06	·	old as people think.
13:10	·	The mystery itself wasn't even really
13:12	·	known until the early 2000s.
13:16	·	Desert magazine, which famously covered
13:18	·	everything big and small in the Mojave,
13:22	·	doesn't appear to have ever even
13:23	·	mentioned the megaphone before it
13:25	·	stopped publishing in 1985.
13:29	·	A mystery like this doesn't seem to be
13:32	·	something they would have overlooked.
13:44	·	In my research, I tried to find the
13:46	·	earliest possible mention of the Mojave
13:48	·	Megaphone that I could find. And the
13:50	·	farthest back that I was able to find
13:52	·	anything was 1990.
13:55	·	And this is where if you want the Mojave
13:57	·	Megaphone to remain a mystery to you,
14:00	·	you should probably stop watching.
14:03	·	Long before anyone had called this the
14:05	·	Mojave Megaphone, in December 1990, the
14:09	·	Desert Dispatch newspaper in Barstow,
14:11	·	California, printed an article titled
14:14	·	Mojave Desert Holds Many Secrets, and
14:17	·	one of those secrets was called The
14:20	·	Drum.
14:24	·	The article goes on to quote a Bureau of
14:26	·	Land Management ranger who states that
14:29	·	he had met the maker of the drum, what
14:31	·	is now called the Mojave Megaphone, a
14:34	·	year earlier and that he brings up skins
14:36	·	to make drum heads and wires it to a
14:39	·	generator powered amplifier.
14:46	·	The article also confirmed that this was
14:48	·	brought up by hand, which certainly
14:51	·	shows some dedication.
14:57	·	Unfortunately, the article doesn't
14:59	·	mention the creator's name, but unless
15:01	·	the ranger was making up the story for
15:03	·	whatever reason, it appears that this
15:06	·	was built to be a drum.
15:10	·	Why this spot was chosen and why they
15:12	·	did it is still a mystery. But at least
15:15	·	despite what the History Channel might
15:17	·	say, we could be pretty sure that aliens
15:20	·	didn't build this.
15:30	·	And if we bang on it, we can see how it
15:32	·	would make a pretty good drum or a bell.
15:46	·	While the Mojave Megaphone probably
15:48	·	wasn't part of a secret military
15:49	·	experiment, a railroad warning system,
15:53	·	or a device to communicate with aliens,
15:55	·	it still remains a fascinating mystery.
15:58	·	Considering the effort it took to build
16:00	·	it and place it here, and the fact that
16:03	·	its creator has stayed anonymous ever
16:04	·	since,
16:06	·	it's still one of the most intriguing
16:08	·	sites in the Mojave.
16:22	·	Of course, after saying that, I don't
16:24	·	know how well it shows up on the camera,
16:26	·	but almost directly in line with the
16:28	·	Mojave Megaphone, there is something in
16:31	·	the distance that looks to be man-made.
16:33	·	So, I guess real quick, we have to go
16:35	·	check that out.
16:48	·	We've made it to the area where it
16:50	·	looked like there was something man-made
16:51	·	that the Mojave megaphone was pointing
16:53	·	to. The Mojave Megaphone is back in this
16:56	·	direction.
16:58	·	And when we turn around here, yeah,
17:00	·	there was something man-made here. There
17:03	·	is a tractor with a no trespassing sign
17:05	·	and some trailers.
17:12	·	Well, unless the builder of the Mojave
17:14	·	Megaphone knew that in the future
17:16	·	there'd be a tractor and some trailers
17:18	·	here, I don't think it's pointing to
17:20	·	anything. So, that's our look at the
17:23	·	mystery of the Mojave Megaphone. Thank
17:25	·	you so much for watching. If you enjoyed
