Your pictures of an A-12 at Groom Lake is actually at Beal AFB., CA and the SR-71 in a huge hangar is the hangars at Beale AFB., CA. I used to work
as an avionics technician at Beale AFB. when I worked on the SR-71 Blackbird.

The U2 had radar jamming that actually gave the signal of it's location for a sam
to zip-up gary powers' tail-pipe..who knows.
When you have an enormous investment in a remote test facility that depends
on secrecy for it's advantage,the last thing you need is tourists.
So,you get a writer from a popular magazine,(like popular mechanics)
to run a story about a secret base that's moved their secret to a secret location,
secretly to UTAH, (like mr.Wilson did)and behold,look how much the tourism
died-off at the secret base nobody can tour! This happened..the lie,I mean diversion.
reply to post by MAJIC 12 Yes! I remember reading that article thinking "This sure sounds like pure propaganda" and I was wondering what was in it for Mr Wilson. But I
didn't find the story very credible.
