Well, the CIA is partially correct. Area 51 doesn't exist, at least anymore.. It has been declassified and turned over to civilian contractors to use as a development place, which is why you are now able to see it on Google Earth. It no longer has it's original purposes.
Largely incorrect.
I mean, good Lord. Look at how old those photos are-they're all from
1963.
Area 51-known by a variety of other names-is still
a military base, run by personnel from Edwards Air Force base and, largely, Nellis Air Force Base.It shares a border with the Nevada Test Site. Since it's a test facility, used for development, there have always been civilian contractors. It still requires a Q-clearance for civilian entry, meaning that everything within its borders is classified Top Secret-until, like the SR-71,or the A-12 shown in the photos, it's declassified.
You can drive up to the fence at Area 51, and be met by some interesting men with machine guns.....:lfao:
You can see it on Google Earth. You can also see one of my old facilities at Los Alamos, the
Weapons Engineering Tritium Facility, if you know where to look. You could view TA-35 at the lab, where tests were done on...
something, if you knew where it was. You could view a variety of things. Doesn't mean diddly. Heck, Los Alamos, like Groom Lake ("Area 51") is largely restricted air space, but Google Earth has aerial images from 1996 of WETF...
