Area 51 Uncovered

[Martin]

Area 51 is a TOP SECRET BASE. It's location is 50 miles from Las Vegas, Nevada. The base is in the middle of the desert, covering a piece of land called Groom Lake, and is the same size as Switzerland. Because of where the base is, getting to see it is very difficult. You used to be able to climb the surrounding mountain's, and take photo's of the base from a distance of roughly 26 miles, but recently the United States Goverment has pushed back the boundries even further. Not many good picture's of the base are available but here is a view from one of the surrounding mountain top's before the extra land was obtained.

Because of the huge amount of secret work that is carried out at the base security is paramount. A enourmous amount of money has been spent to keep the base safe from unwanted intruders. Anyone trying to get within mile's of the base will understand what we mean. The surrounding land is full of motion sensor's, infa-red video camera's, white patrol jeeps, and even F15 Fighter Jet's are often seen monitoring the sky above Area 51 to stop any type of aerial threat which might happen.

As you can see from these picture's security at the base is very tight, and it would be almost impossable to enter the area undetected. A few people have tried to enter the base in the past, but have been caught even before they have reached the gatehouse. The people involved have then had to spend the next couple of days as prisoner's, who have been questioned and threatened to the point that they would never try to enter the location again. An English camera crew once tried to fly over the base in a light aircraft, but were buzzed by a couple of F-15's within minutes of entering area 51 airspace. They were ordered to: "Turn back, or be shot down".

They're many theory's about what is actually kept in this huge hanger. Everything from top secret military planes, i.e The Auroura Project. To recovered extraterrestrial spacecraft which have been test flown by human pilot's, to get a understanding how the alien technology actually work's. This is where the various Stealth Fighter, and Bomber planes were stored before they were shown to the world in the late 80's.

It goes without saying that Area 51 is a vast complex, but it couldn't operate without hundred's of worker's who are flown they daily by specially charted planes. The planes, Janet aircraft are really 737-200's that are painted white with a red stripe going through them. There is no company name on them or insignia. The Janet terminal that's in Las Vegas is only two blocks from the Las Vegas Strip. There is no secrecy behind them, mainly because the government doesn't care if people see what airplanes the workers are using to get to Area 51. The Janet airplanes are 100 feet in length, and can seat up to 138 people. Every weekday, at least 500 people arrive at the guarded terminal owned by EG&G on the northwest side of McCarran Airport in Las Vegas, Nevada to board the Janet Airlines. Here is a picture of the guarded Janet terminal.

Bob Lazar, (pictured above) claimes to have been a former Area 51 employee who is willing to risk everything and let the world know what's really going on at Area 51. No-one can prove his confession's, but it sure make's for interesting reading.

Why would a place need a 12 mile long airstrip? Thats a LOoooooong runway fosho.
Area 51 is Legendary epicenter of Secret and Mysterious secret activity. That place is fodder for ever conspirisy thoery out there, some say that Aliens actually live there too! Some say that within the last decade, Its kept running as a DECOY to keep UFO truthers focused on the site when in actualality all the alien stuff has been relocated to a less conspicuous place.....Where? Colorado!

[Carol Nistri]

Ill buy that Phil,its just like the little dickens to distract the masses with area 51 the worst kept secret in the world.

12 miles long does seem long. Surely an advanced UFO would take off vertically. Even a old Harrier Jump Jet can do that.

Could there be a tenuous link with the nazca lines here?

Ah, but the good, old, Harrier Jump Jet was a British invention and the U.S. weren't able to develop their own so they had to, " Buy British " !

[Carol Nistri]

Americans couldnt invent there own eh,theres nothing we cant do...stalks off..

[oskar]

I've read a couple of reasons it's so long
1.) Its supposedly the landing and take off point for Aroura
2.) Its an emergency landing strip for the Space Shuttle

Come on, Carol. You know that the U.S. couldn't get the principle of a V.T.O.L. aircraft right and that is why they had to buy the British Harrier.
Britain may not have as much money to spend on Research and Developement as the U.S. but we DO invent some pretty good and useful things.
Cockerell, the Hovercraft ; Whittle, the Jet Engine ; Baird, the Television.
That's not to say that the U.S. haven't come up with some pretty nifty things too so don't feel too badly about it.

[Carol Nistri]

ok Ill take the challenge,did you know that the old Jump Jet or Harrier can only hover for ninty seconds,that during that ninty seconds it gets spritzed with a 150 gallons of water to keep the engine cool,its true,I was interested in the Jump Jet for awhile.


For those not familiar with the jump jet here it is...

and dont let anyone tell you this could be mistaken for a ufo,if youve ever seen one at an air show its LOUD LOUD LOUD..
