Secret object or communication center? The most mysterious New York building

In the heart of Manhattan, at 33 Thomas Street, a mysterious skyscraper stands without a single window. This building has been surprised for decades and gave rise to numerous conspiracy theories. It is officially known that the building belongs to AT&T telecommunications company, but some sources suggest that it plays an important role in the US global surveillance programs.

The skyscraper is built to accommodate communication equipment - telephone switches that were previously used to switch calls between subscribers. Full autonomy - the building has reserves of water, fuel and electricity, which allows to work up to two weeks without external resources. Incredible level of protection - according to some data, the design can withstand a nuclear explosion. In 2016, The Intercept published an investigation based on Edward Snowden's documents. According to this information, 33 Thomas Street may be a secret center for the US National Security Agency (ANB) under the code name Titanpointe. The building is likely to have a "big gateway switch" that processes international calls and Internet traffic. In 2017, even Tom Genks asked Twitter: "This is the worst building I have ever seen! What is going on inside?"

Some believe that the building is used for secret experiments of the government. There are versions that it is a "vampire den" or base of alien lizards. But reality is probably much more prosaic is a strategic communication center, although its true purpose may remain a state secret.
