Area 51
The Area 51 Base
What is it and what's inside?
The Groom Lake Base is this top-secret military base located 90 miles north of Las Vegas (which is in Nevada). It's in grid number 51 of the Nevada Test Site, so it's called Area 51. The United States Air Force Flight Test Center controls the base. It's best known for testing exotic aircraft and weapons. The base was created in 1954 as a place to test the secret U-2 spyplane that was used to fly missions over the Soviet Union. Then it started to house the SR-71, A-12 and D-21 drone. The F-117A was tested there, also. In the 1980's the base increased in size, along with the runway (which increased to the present 6 miles). Then, mysterious lights began to appear, and armed guards known as the cammo dudes started patrolling the border. The government closed many viewpoints from which the Area 51 base could be seen. In 1989, a "physicist" named Bob Lazar claimed that he worked at a base south of Area 51 and also claimed that Area 51 was testing extremely advanced aircraft and UFO's they got by trading with the aliens. Since then, Area 51 has been thought to be the test center of captured UFOs because of the lights in the night sky.

Here are the 4 main sturctures:
Hanger 18
A "huge" hanger that could be used for almost anything.
The "Long" Runway
A runway that's 12 miles long.
Gaurd Shack
This is where the cammo dudes (security gaurds) hang out.
The Large Radar Antennas

Hanger 18
The dimensions of the Hanger:
Side 1: 300 feet(about)
Side 2: 300 feet(about)
Height: 100 feet(about)
This hanger could be used anything. Nobody knows what it's really used for, but here are the rumors...
The hanger is really a huge elevator which transports the secret plane Aurora, the Black Manta, and others they are testing to an elaborate underground place.
It houses the Aurora and the Black Manta(but does not transport them anywhere).
It could be a regular hanger.

The "Long" Runway
You can see the runway in the photo above. It runs through the whole picture. Some people say it's 12 miles long, some say it's 10, but I say it's 6. Of course, in this picture, it looks like it's 24 miles long, and maybe it is. The runway is rumored to be the longest in the world. It's even longer, some people say, than the length required to accomodate the landing of the space shuttle. What could such a long runway be used for? Nobody knows. Again, the rumors:
The Aurora, (or what I think, the scramjet) has a very high touchdown speed and requires a long runway, so the plane doesn't become a heap of trash after it lands.
Alien spaceships, because they are not flying saucers also need a long runway.
What we think is a runway is really a road(even though we photographed planes on it and know that this rumor is false.
The Area 51 guys made a big runway ahead of time, just in case that they might get some advanced technology, and so they would have the space to use it right away.

The Guard Shack
Every secret military base has to have a gaurd shack. If you were expecting tall steel walls, tall towers with machine-gun cannons on top, security cameras, helicopters, radar dishes, lots of security gaurds parading around with high-tech gear, you're wrong. This gaurd shack looks like something a hermit might live in. It doesn't do much either, except be a place where the cammo dudes can hang out. You can go up to the gaurd shack, but then you would be fined $600. This picture was probably taken by someone who ignored the warning signs and drove up to it.
****
The Large Radar Antennaes
Every military base has to have radar antennas to see attacks coming. Area 51 has 2 large radar antennas, some small radar antennas, and other sensors. All those sensors are at the Northern side of the base. It's rumored that the Northern-most radar antenna is the biggest movable antenna in the world. It opperates at a very high power output. The large one almost always points up, but moves once in a while. Why is this important? It isn't. I just put it here to tell you about it.

Security
Cammo Dudes
These are the strange and anonymous security guards at Area 51. They are called cammo dudes, because of the camouflage that they wear. Anyway, the dudes patrol the border with their Jeep Cherokees in two teams. Wherever you go, you will see a Cherokee, although you can rarely come this close. The cammo dudes are probably not military guys, and no one knows who hired them. Perhaps they enjoy doing this. The rumors are as follows:
The Cammo Dudes are employed by:
Wackenhut Security Incorporated, the contractor that provides the security for the Nevada Test Site
EG&G Corporation under military contract
A company called Sandia.
The cammo dudes also seem to have an affiliation with the Lincoln County Sheriff's Department. The cammo dudes call the sheriff, and the sheriff will take care of you. The cammo dudes themselves are very shy, maybe (but probably not) because they are the people that came out of one of Area 51's failed experiments, and they don't want anyone to see their face. It's probably because they don't want anyone to try to assassinate them, or hurt them while they are in their home.
The cammo dudes have helicopters. You can see one of them on the left. They use the helicopters mainly for security purposes, but there have been a number of occasions when the helicopter would harass viewers at the border. It would fly a few feet above the viewers throwing up dust and other debris. This, of course, is not legal, even for a bunch of weird, anonymous, social outcasts that guard government military bases.
This is a magnetic sensor. It's in a plastic capsule about six inches long and are buried beside the road. This capsule contains the batteries. A bucket-shaped container contains the transmitter. The wires running off to either side lead to sensors that are buried a few feet apart on the roadside. These sensors transmit signals as someone passes.
This makes it impossible to break into Area 51. It could lead to immediate arrest, immediate death, and/or an immediate fine of $600 or more. (If they kill you, they take your wallet).

Superman: Got more info on it?
Its funny - if you ever try to look at a satellite image of Area 51 online - it is empty - they block out all footage of it. But I think they show more and more all the time because it really isn't a secret anymore and whatever real secrets they have they can cover by feeding the fake secrets....
My Spooky Trip Through Area 51, Nevada
I drove from Aspen, Colorado to Mammoth, California on 3/26/99 and 3/27/99. On that second day, I drove on Highway 6 through southern Nevada (between Ely and Tonopah), and stumbled upon "Area 51", which is the secret government location where they store dead Alien bodies and a few Alien spaceships/UFOs.
I drove by "Area 51" at dusk on 3/27/99, and several things happened. First of all, my cell phone lost it's signal for the first time EVER out in the wide open. I suspect the government blocks out the signals so that people can't call in alien sightings out here. Second, my Sentra started making funny noises, and the engine sputtered the whole trip. Now many of you know my Sentra, and it's one of the best cars ever made, and it certainly doesn't ever have any mechanical troubles. I blame the aliens...
This is the point where everything turned spooky. This sign is at the corner of highway 375 and highway 6 in Nevada. The sign marks highway 375. I thought Area 51 was a secret, but the government has lots of different agencies that probably don't even communicate. I'll bet the highway department really hates the military, so as a joke they put up this sign. Oh, my cell phone quit working right at this spot, and didn't start working again until I passed Tonopah. I like to call Tonopah the Alien Bus Stop of the United States, but I'll get to that later. As you can see the sun is going down, and everything started going wacky on me:
I hadn't seen any other cars for half an hour, but immediately after passing the above sign this car passes me at 80 miles per hour. When I glanced over I almost skidded off the road. Hey, you deal with the Terminator at dusk in Area 51!
The military cover story is that this is a missile test range. Pretty good cover, huh? Nobody is going to wander around inside a missile test range.
As if I didn't have enough trouble, along comes this next sign. Now I have several things to say about this sign. First of all, when the sign says "Open Range", I don't think they meant "Open GUN Range", you inbred hill-billies who filled this sign full of bullet holes!! The sign actually means that cows wander across the highway, and there are no fences. Think about that. They built this highway for about a million dollars every hundred yards, but they couldn't be bothered to actually put up a $100 fence to prevent cattle from milling about? I don't buy it! I think they PURPOSEFULLY put the cattle out on the highway so the aliens can mutilate them!! Well, I had been standing here for 5 minutes when I realized I was standing in front of a sign that was full of bullet holes... stay with me here, I'm standing in the WAY OF THE BULLETS....
Sure enough, a few miles down the road I ran into some cows carefully placed by the government on the road. None had been mutilated yet tonight, but it was only dusk and I hear the real mutilations happen around midnight. Notice there is no fence between my car here and the cows (I stopped the car for the picture, but it's taken through my window). Does it look like this cow is scoping me out for my intentions?! I think she's seen some of her friends turned inside out...
A little way down the road, I saw these two Aliens disguised as Harley Davidson motorcycle riders booking along. I didn't bother them, I figure they were out looking for cows. (Picture taken without aiming out the right window of the Sentra at 75 mph.)
As you can see, the sun is almost set, and along comes this sign. What kind of strange name is this for a highway? I think it's some sort of code, I just need to figure it out. The question is, what planet is the "Republic" on?
Check this out! The government thinks this is a "Forest"! I don't know if you can see in the dim light, but there isn't a tree for a thousand miles in any direction! I'm serious, not one single tree! Do you think our government is that stupid, or did the Aliens take all the trees in this forest?
Conclusion: I finally reached Tonopah, Nevada, which is a spooky little town filled with way too many people (well, technically about half of them were Aliens) milling about at the all night gas station. There was a "police officer" hanging out there, I suspect to take care of any Aliens that got out of line. I filled up with gas, and got my butt out of there and punched through to California in another two hours. Sometimes I think my perceptions of the days events might have been clouded by the fact that I spent over 14 hours on the road, and the last couple of hours that I drove through Area 51 I was listening to Pink Floyd's "The Wall" cranked at maximum volume and I was so lit on caffeine my hands were shaking. Nah, I think the Aliens just put those thoughts in my head..
