At the height of the Cold War, a secret CIA base was built on the Suffolk Coast at Orford Ness. Over $1 Billion was spent trying to spy on the Soviets. Today Cobra Mist is off limits and not open to the public. In this special film Ralph Cochrane goes behind the scenes to find out what really happened and how a small dedicated team are helping to keep this fascinating piece of history alive for future generations. Featuring rare footage of Orford Ness lighthouse which was pulled down in 2020 due to coastal erosion and the new seal colony that’s formed on Orford Ness this film is beautifully shot by the event.video team.
