I was using google maps to look around the area 51 region and I found this:


Is this a base? if so which base is it?

Thats a so secret its invisible

Edit - Ah the image is working now.

It looks like an irigation plant of some kind.

Where iz tht exactly?

I reckon this is where they keep their flying saucers!

Okay, I know! It's a bombing range...

if you are searching for Area 51 I doubt you will find it on google cause its location is top secret,but there is an air force base near groom lake if I'm correct

Goverment maps don't show an "area 51"- I doubt if such a base exists something will turn up in a mainstream website. Try looking for aerial photographs from less mainstream sources (OK, paranoid but if a base exists.....)


Wait.... found stuff

craploads of pics there. Most show the airforce base, but there's other stuff too.

cool find

You can get a decent image of Area 51 with Googlemaps, but for some reason, the Capitol Building in DC is pixelled-out!

They pixelated the Government buildnings because they have air defence sites and other anti terrorist stuff located on them.

If you want a good relatively close up photo of Area 51, this is a good one:

The first one: it couldn't be Papoose Lake/'S-4' of Bob Lazar fame could it?!



Do you mean Tonopah Test Range, where the F-117s were first based, or Nellis AFB, which the whole fandango 'officiially' comes under?

I know there is an air force base just outside of las vegas. My sister used to live there and once when we were leaving after a visit, we accidentally took the exit to the base. we were promptly given the right directions and told to leave. Nellis maybe?

that's f--king INSANE!

Could you elaborate?
