You probably saw it too. One minute nobody knows who this random explorer is, the next minute half the internet is either calling him a hero or saying the whole thing’s staged. People were freaking out in the comments:
- “Is this real or another creepypasta?”
- “Why hasn’t this hit the news yet?”
- “Bro actually went back a second time… respect or insane?”
So I did what any curious degenerate does at 3 a.m.—I went full rabbit hole. Here’s everything I pieced together about what Hizzaboloufazic actually discovered in that abandoned government lab nobody was supposed to find.
First off—who the hell is Hizzaboloufazic?
Dude’s just a 28-year-old urban explorer from the Midwest who posts under that handle everywhere. Real name’s supposedly Ethan, but nobody’s 100% sure. He’s got about 180k subs on YouTube and a rep for sneaking into places that’ll get you felony charges in 47 states. Think drained nuclear cooling towers, shut-down asylum tunnels, that kind of thing.
Last month he dropped a 47-minute video titled “Facility 17 – Do NOT Look This Place Up.” Within 48 hours it was gone, channel got a strike, and the only versions left floating around are re-uploads on random sites. That alone told me whatever he found was legit spicy.
What Hizzaboloufazic Found in the Main Corridor (the part everyone’s seen)
He breaks in through an old drainage grate, crawls like 400 feet of pitch-black pipe, and pops out into this massive concrete hallway that looks straight out of a 1970s Bond villain lair.
Here’s what he filmed in order:
- Rows of stainless steel lockers labeled with years going back to 1968
- Hazmat suits still hanging, covered in decades of dust
- A wall map of the U.S. with red pins in places that match up way too well with recent “unexplained illness clusters”
- One functioning fluorescent light that shouldn’t have power… but did
That’s the tame stuff. The part that made my stomach drop starts around the 22-minute mark.
The Cold Room Discovery That Broke the Internet
He finds a heavy blast door cracked open just enough to squeeze through. Inside is a refrigerated room running at 34 °F. On the metal tables? Dozens of sealed glass cylinders about the size of a 2-liter bottle.
Each one has a handwritten tag.
I paused the video, zoomed in, and read a couple:
- Specimen H-1977 “Patient Zero – Fort Detrick Transfer”
- Specimen H-2003 “Baghdad Sample – Confirmed Viable”
- Specimen H-2019 “Wuhan Market Batch – Destroy on Sight”
Yeah. Exactly the kind of thing you don’t want to see at 3 a.m.
Hizzaboloufazic doesn’t scream or run—he just whispers “what the f—” and backs out real slow. Smart move, king.
The Paperwork He Filmed Before Everything Went Sideways
Before his camera starts cutting out (classic EMF interference), he flips through a folder left on a desk. You can make out just enough:
- Project codename: LYRA
- Funding line item redacted but the amount is $87 million in 1984 dollars
- Last entry dated March 2020: “Contingency vials relocated to secondary site per Executive Order 13847 – burn rest”
Then the lights cut, his mic picks up this low humming sound, and the video ends with him sprinting back through the drainage pipe. Last thing you hear is him panting “I’m never coming back here.”
Why This Hasn’t Blown Up Bigger (Yet)
Classic playbook:
- Video gets nuked within hours
- His channel gets a “community guidelines” strike
- Anyone mirroring the full cut starts getting copyright claims from shell companies
- Reddit mods lock every thread with “debunked” flair even though no one actually debunks sh*t
But screenshots don’t lie. The cylinder labels match up perfectly with declassified docs that dropped last year. And that humming sound? Same frequency recorded at other “haunted” government sites people have explored.
So… What Happens Now?
Hizzaboloufazic went dark for two weeks after the video dropped. Then last night he posted a 15-second community tab update:
“Still alive. Can’t talk about what hizzaboloufazic found in there yet. Lawyers. Soon.”
That’s it.
Look, I’m not saying we’re all about to die from 50-year-old superbugs in glass jars. I’m also not saying we’re NOT.
All I know is when some random explorer drops the hardest evidence anyone’s seen in years and immediately gets the Men in Black treatment… maybe pay attention.
