Area 51

Area 51, also known as Groom Lake, is a secret military facility about 90 miles north of Las Vegas. The number refers to a 6-by-10-mile block of land, at the center of which is a large air base the government will not discuss. The site was selected in the mid-1950s for testing of the U-2 spyplane, due to its remoteness, proximity to existing facilities and presence of a dry lake bed for landings. Groom Lake is America's traditional testing ground for "black budget" aircraft before they are publicly acknowledged. The facility and surrounding areas are also associated -- with varying levels of credibility -- with UFO and conspiracy stories. In 1989, Bob Lazar claimed on a Las Vegas television station that he had worked with alien spacecraft at Papoose Lake, south of Area 51. Since then, "Area 51" has become a popular symbol for the alleged U.S. Government UFO cover-up



Area 51 Security

...The 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).



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.



Area 51 Antennas

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.



Satellite Imagery Of Area 51

 

North Base - Hangers and Housing

The four large Hangers at the north of the base have been enlarged. The housing complex for base personnel -- the large array of smaller buildings to the south of the Hangers, has been entirely rebuilt along with addition of new support facilities. 
 

South Base Hangers

Expansion in operational capabilities in noted in the southern part of the base. The total number of Hangers in this area has doubled along with the addition of the Hanger with the high peaked roof visible in the top of the image. 
 

Tank Farm - South Base

The tank farm consists of seven large storage tanks and three smaller tanks. The wide separation of the larger tanks is suggestive of fuel for aircraft. The large asphalt plant was used to construct the new 11,960 foot runway. 
  

New Construction - South Base

32 acre facility houses a small weapons storage area with three small igloos and two larger igloos.
