Many American cities, including New York, have mysterious windowless skyscrapers. Huge buildings tend to make people feel a bit unnerving, and have sparked a lot of debate about what exactly goes on inside their walls. A man has now pulled the veil off them. A hideout for aliens? Home to a secret sect? A spy training school? Even Hollywood star Tom Hanks wondered what exactly the buildings could be used for. In a 2017 tweet, he shared a picture of 33 Thomas Street in New York and asked, “This is the scariest building I’ve ever seen! What the hell is going on in there?” This is the scariest building I’ve ever seen! WTF is going on inside??

Perhaps many will be disappointed, but there is no extraterrestrial research going on inside the walls. You can find one of these monsters in New York, San Francisco, Chicago or even Austin. They are connected to the telephone provider AT&T. Before digital telephony, phone lines were physically connected to the phone at the other end. This meant that these huge switching centers were needed. Most of the buildings were built in the 70s. No actual human operators were required. Since the machines did not need natural light, probably for financial reasons, the designers simply decided why not put windows on the buildings. The building at 33 Thomas Street in New York is one of the most secure towers in the world. “It has enough gas, water and electricity to keep it running on its own for up to two weeks, and it’s supposed to actually be able to withstand a nuclear explosion…within reason. Although much of the equipment has been digitized and telephones no longer require it, it is still critical to network and internet infrastructure. In fact, if you’re watching this in the US, this video probably went through one of those buildings,” the TikToker stated in his video. However, some conspiracy theorists believe that the building was used as a surveillance site for the National Security Agency (NAS). And in 2016, the nonprofit The Intercept claimed it had “compelling evidence,” including documents leaked by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, suggesting the building, codenamed TITANPOINTE, was used as a surveillance site. According to their 2016 investigation, a former AT&T engineer said there is “a big gateway switch” in the tower that “routes all calls between the US and the rest of the world.” This theory still remains within the framework of common sense, because there are those who believe that vampires live in the building, while others believe that it is the headquarters of the lizardmen.
