Quoted: West of the rockies you're on the air. View Quote Area 51 workers hotline, you’re on Art Bell gets a Frantic Call from an Ex-worker of Area 51 It looks like the floor is split level. The right side as we’re looking at it, slopes down to a subterranean level. The left side Half is level with the ground. I guess the big hydraulic posts in hangar 18 weren’t that reliable. |

If anything, it might be a test shape or mockup for the radar test range over there. Just to be different I'll guess it's a scale model of the Independence-class LCS.
Like this, but a hull shape. Maybe testing how a new module affects RCS. Attached File |

Quoted: More realistic than what I imagined, maybe View Quote |

View Quote Ah, the 8.5X11 Truly a classic. |

Quoted: Wonder how they would keep people from flying drones over the area to take pics and footage? View Quote There are lots of various sensors along the border. They probably have means to detect various EM transmissions. If they pick up something in say the 2.4 or 5.8 ghz band, or some of the ones used for long range RC, you will find a camo dude Ford Raptor on you fast, plus their Blackhawks on site will drop security forces on you if the security contractor camo dudes can’t get there fast enough. It’s also a long way to public land. Something like 27 miles to the closest point of Tikaboo Peak. That would take a fair amount of time to cover that distance. You’d need a decent sized flying wing to cover that distance, not likely a multicolor drone. |

Quoted: Possibly they have a tunnel and the launch aircraft resides in that hanger or its a simple aircraft and they load and fuel a drone in that depression . Might be hard to taxi . Same way they loaded little boy and fatman on tinian View Quote Only thing about a loading pit on that side, is the turnaround doesn’t appear to have any link to the other runways. |
|
Quoted: Maybe they just build weird shapes out of plywood and leave them just far enough out that they know someone will see them but not enough to get a good shot of. I know I would if I worked there. View Quote I would do that. |

View Quote I would find a way to build a high speed aircraft that looked like this, just to mess with people that saw it flying... |

One on hand, cool. Neat. Hmm. (I guess I never knew or even thought of the idea of the scoot and hide "shelter", but it makes damn good sense).
On the other... Quoted: If the door is open during the day, it ain't that important. View Quote Quoted: If I ran Area 51, I'd have a group of folks building crazy mock ups of sci-fi shit to leave around just to fuck with people. View Quote |

Fuck Gabe. That dickhead lands his stupid fucking plane on the dirt roads here in town about once a week now. Him and Joerg can go blow each other. Hopefully the feds prosecute and jail that cocksucker for treason. He takes pics of all the installations in So NV. and Socal.....

Independence day area 51 how do you get funding for all this |

Could be a vertical stabilizer or a pair of overalls hanging .

I see one of our flying wings (B-2, B-21, or RQ-170) turned sideways in that hanger. We'd be looking at the starboard wing and cockpit area is to the right.

If the guy was taking pictures of military installations from areas open to the public and giving them to our enemy in time of war that would fit the definition of treason. Japan based a lot of their planning for Pear Harbor on observation from the surrounding area. |

Enhance... enhance.
Ah, just as I thought. It's the light of Uranus refracting off swamp gas in the shadow of a weather balloon. Nothing to see. |

I use to Recruit for the Army in that area, there's a town called Pahranagat (sp?) not far from there that has a tiny high school I would visit one or twice a year. Lots of folks who live there work at are 51. My opinion has always been, if they are developing shit that's going to keep my Son alive on a battlefield, leave them the fuck alone. They don't need a bunch of sci fi nerds with super huge cameras leaking sensitive stuff to the internet. I'd still love to tour the place though. |

View Quote same here. i'll do whatever security background check clearance whatever. Sign a waiver for them to kill me if I talk. I just wanna see the place |

Quoted: True. After all these years, I doubt there are any really big secrets at Area 51. It’s the shiny object to keep the attention of the inquisitive away from lower profile sites with the really sensitive stuff. View Quote I've always assumed since Area 51 became so popular that they moved the super secret squirrel stuff to another area and keep 51 going to keep the nuts focused there. Have some planes take off at night, build hangers...etc to keep up appearances there. |
