    yes my friend the f-22 is a beast
    ...
    In simulated air combat... the F-22 can pick off F-15s without being detected.
    ...
    You want to see something cool... use the Google Earth thing and look at the Davis-Monthan boneyard outside of Tucson, AZ. There are a ton of F-16s and F-14s in mothballs over there. There are even some B-1B Bombers in there.

    It all depends... do the aliens have both genetailia?


    ummm, I dunno...the males are gay so I think that they only have male pieces parts. though i heard they carry their babies in their butts. so you're sayin' it all could depend on how you tap your foot and how wide your stance is?

    lol...

    that and the finger shuffle under the partition....very key...
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    I did go up to the China Lake Naval Weapons facility to see a live firing of the Vulcan Phallynx 20mm gattling gun that goes on the C-130 Spectre Gunships. You do not want to be on the recieving end of that mother fucker. It turned a tank into tiny bits of metal in seconds.

    I was a Vulcan crewmember. I was in a towed-Vulcan (towed by Humvee) unit at Ft. Lewis, WA in 1991-1992. Let me tell you, it is a blast to fire up the 20 mm. The rate of fire is 3,000 rounds/minute (that's 50 rounds/second). It had a distinct sound that earned the nickname "fart gun". The Vulcan was developed for the army during the Vietnam war for short range air defense but has almost exclusively been utilized to attack ground targets. Supposedly we'd set them up along various rivers used by the VC and just obliterate their boats. During Desert Storm I was told two Vulcans basically destroyed an entire multi-story building that Iraqi soldiers were holed up in. Here's a link to the wiki page. There's not much too it:

    what is the deal with this place?

    I'm shocked only a few workers have ever talked about it.

    obviously secret spy planes are tested there but what else?


    Don't want to say "aliens" just incase you get labled as a conspiracy freak? ;)

    The way it was explained to me was....basically if you approach Groom Lake on foot, you are monitored the entire time. You are monitored before you get near the warning signs. Then WELL before you can see anything beyond open field, a jeep with a minimum of three soldiers armed and prepared for combat will drive up to you. They will instruct you to turn back and if you are close enough they will forcibly take any audio and visual recording equipment you may have.

    If you do not turn back, they will shoot you. They take their responsibility extremely seriously.

    I also heard that certain groups of Boeing technicians and other government contractors have clearance around these testing facilities to a degree, but these groups are probably ex-military or have other close ties to the military.

    EDIT: Holy fuck.
    They have greyed out the whole area!
    DOH! You used to be able to see EVERYTHING!
    Air strips, bases, etc!

    take a drive over there and DEMAND, as an American citizen, that you get access to the base. :) let us know how it goes.

    Amazing how many people must work and have worked there and we still know nothing about the place eh Jlew. I can't believe that that many people can keep a secret. Wow!

    There was a Montel Williams episode back in the day where he essentially did just that.......needless to say, he was quickly chased into a hurried retreat by scary dudes. :eek: :)

    yea I saw a few shows on the discovery channel, I think, where a couple of guys went up on an adjacent cliff miles away. it was the only spot that had a clear view of the base. after that show, the government bought the land. insane!

    If you google Groom Lake, you can see the Russian Satellite pictures of the base in pretty good detail.

    Sentrys in charge of security are authorized to use deadly force against trespassers. They aren't there just to protect the Groom Lake facility... they are there to keep people without need to know access to Air Force systems throughout the entire Nellis Test Range. This doesn't mean they shoot anyone that walks up to the fence... but, if you decide to flee... you better be ready to take on live fire.
    Any vehicle that ventures near the perimeters are monitored. They know who is prowling around. Ground sensors detect foot traffic and use of infrared imaging can see anything that produces heat... such a the human body.
    And yes... civilan contractors can gain entry is they are cleared by the DoD and have specific work tasks assigned to them on a specific project. They are alwo sworn to an oath and will be held responsible and accountable for any breach of their clearances.
    And as I said earlier... the Groom Lake facility is mostly used as storage these days. All of the black programs have been moved into the Tonopah facility... although you may be able to catch a glimpse of aircraft lights from a great distance from the 'Area 51' civilian viewing areas.
    And... there are no space men there... no flying saucers.. no Roswell wreckage. Just aircraft, missiles and air defense systems that the Air Forces insists do not exist.
