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. Attachment Attached File

Unless one was to launch a jet powered drone on a one way path and someone else recover it on the other side. Pre programmed flight path and dropped from a balloon .

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

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.

Only thing about a loading pit on that side, is the turnaround doesn’t appear to have any link to the other runways.

It's in an air warfare training range, and one of the most heavily controlled air spaces on the planet.  There is most likely a fighter jet a couple minutes out.

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.

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.

Accessibility or classification of information has no bearing on what constitutes treason.  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.

I kinda agree with this guy.

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.

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.
