Land Between the Lakes, Kentucky
The claim: This area was declared a UN biosphere and is an ideal geographic location for detention facilities. Area is an isthmus extending out from Tennessee, between Lake Barkley on the east and Kentucky Lake on the west. Just scant miles from Fort Campbell in Tennessee.
What it really is: Yes, it is part of the UN biosphere program (the actual name is the "Man and the Biosphere Programme") but the site itself is not controlled by the UN. It is controlled by the United States Forest Service, and is a National Recreation Area, which means it's open to the public.
It should also be noted that it is the last place in the United States that became part of the Man and the Biosphere Programme, and that was in 1991.

Ft. Knox, Kentucky
The claim: Detention center, possibly located near Salt River, in restricted area of base. Local patriots advise that black Special Forces & UN gray helicopters are occasionally seen in area.
What it really is: There are lots of places at Fort Knox that are restricted (such as the United States Bullion Depository) and places open to the public (like the General George Patton Museum of Leadership).
As for the claim of a detention center being located near Salt River, I've looked along the river using Google Maps, and I can't find anything that looks like a prison camp, just some roads, some cleared out areas for training, and a few small buildings.
As for the black Special Forces and UN gray helicopters claim, these claims are not backed up by reliable sources, and is most likely a hoax.
