Take 50 odd geeks, add google earth and....

cool, but what the hell are "black helicopters"???

What format is KMZ?!?!?

ooo area51!!!!

There's one of the unmarked civilian planes just being pulled out of the hanger - these are used for transporting base staff to and from Las Vegas airport - they have their own terminal there

u gotta know what you're looking for!

The large test cells at the end of the base where big fancy engines are tested... look at the mining in the hills to the side of groom lake - there's a concrete factory producing loads of concrete AND mining tons of spoil from underground - whats going on? Sounds like a large underground complex....

*x-files music plays...*

look to the south of the NTS - you can find the old atomic test range from the 60's - 100's of craters from nuclear testing...

*dooo dooooo dooo do do dooooooooo*

the little well know 'Area 19' is even MORE secrative....


[/nerd]

whats the web address for the google earth thingy??

Just West and South a bit from Area51 - The Nevada Test Site - During the 60's this is where the US tested all their nuclear weapons - U know the films u've seen on nuclear bombs destroying houses - Here is where those 'mini towns' where built then vapourised...

Zoom out a bit and you'll see all the craters and ajoining roads connect the NTS, Groom Lake facility and Nellis AFB.
