What is area 51

existence is suppose to be a myth, but we all know its there. And yea thats what ive always heard will.

 

where did they move it? NORAD??

 

Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station (also the HQ of NORAD) isn't capable of handling aircraft. It's a mountain. (Linky.) The closest Air Force Base (that can acutally handle aircraft - Peterson AFB, right next-door to the Air Force Academy) isn't a testing base.

As for "Area 51"... It's an aircraft testing facility... Known as "Detachment 3" of the Air Force Flight Test Center (which, as an organization, is HQ'd at Edwards AFB here in CA). Another common name for the airstrip is "Homey Field" (in addition to "Groom Lake"). It's even got it's own ICAO identifier (KXTA). Just Google it.

 

That's just where Big Brother wants you to think our alleged hostage E.T.'s are.

 

yeah thats cool. speaking of norad. i heard that it was supposed to be nuclear proof. but according to todays nuclear weapons if it took a direct hit it would be leveled i think. But what about the STAR WARS initiative by Reagan? is it opperational?

 

IIRC, the full array of systems that comprised the entire Strategic Defense Initiative ("Star Wars") aren't operational. The Star Wars program, however, did bring light to new types of (smaller) strategic defense missile systems.

According to known history, the mountain complex was designed to withstand a 30-megaton blast within 1 nauticle mile. With Russia's Tsar Bomba (Emperor Bomb), that makes this "tolerance" to nuclear weapons (if any) pretty moot. It's blast yield is 50-megatons.

 

yeah. man i just love this type of stuff. i think its cool to know whats up with all the governments stuff and all.

 

testing in New Mexico


would not upload my photo of the trinity site, in NM

yeah. but i happen to know that they are testing a new type of armor over somewhere. Buddy of mine said that by 2012, theres going to be "ironman" body armor available for special recon soldiers. i think he said its still in devolpment.

 

Really? I was just kidding.

 

Have ya noticed how all the Air Force types have refrained from posting on this thread?


O.K. it's a piece of land where aircraft like the U-2, SR-71, F-117 and Aurora have been developed. Plain and simple, it's an aircraft proving ground. If ya don't believe me, check this out!

how conspicuous. but i dont blame em. its cool i understand military confidentiality. that was right on with what i was talking about. i knew it they do have undrground testing facilites

 

Funny story after ya check out that web site.


There was an F-111 flying in Nevada during a RedFlag exercise in the 80's.
It developed engine problems and requests permission to land at the next airfield. The controllers tell him to divert to Nellis. He requests to land at Tonopah. He is denied and told to divert. He lands anyway. As he is rolling to a stop, emergency vehicles surround the aircraft. They pull the pilot and WSO from the a/c and blindfold them. They take them to a debrief facility and after a thorough debrief put them on a bus, blindfolded and take them back to Nellis. After the a/c is repaired, Tonopah employees fly the F-111 out.
Just a story, I don't know how true that is...

 

wow. makes one wonder.....

I worked here 3 years ago. I think Area 51 is similar, with alot of TSYW work going on. I'll believe pretty much anything after working at Mt. Weather.

 

Isn't that similar to Raven Rock?

 

its nothing more than an air force base for testing military planes.
