TONOPAH -- First Pahrump was the setting for an invasion of aliens from outer space in the UFO spoof, "Mars Attacks."

five to six times in the coming year.

I guess we don't have to worry about getting bombed or strafed and their not going to use lasers. The pilots will not be carring weapons of any
sort, neither will the ground forces.


That's a good thing!

There's supposed to be minimal noise too.
The public can't be banned from the site, but the press isn't invited to observe the proceedings. Doe's this mean I can't take pictures?

I don't want 'em taking my camera away.

Wonder if our Sheriff would know? I've got a gut feeling it's gonna be a whole lot Noisier and they
will fly a lot Lower then what's stated! Just A Hunch.
