Which validates the point of the skeptics. If "these Cammo Dudes" mean so much business, lethal if neccessary, wouldn't logic tell someone who had an encounter as such to LEAVE immediately ?? Does personal safety take a backseat because "oh well it happens..." ??
The intent of the OP's thread is to obviously reflect a more than "average" camping trip. An encounter with highly trained, super secretive, and again authorized LETHAL enforcement, but the couple remained...after the fact that these Cammo Dudes ransacked their campsite to give some sort of warning, rather than engaging in juvenile/military antics ???

i posted that adventure somewhere on here a while back. Long story short they almost ramed my parked jeep, then chased me offroading through the desert and onto the highway. Scared THE HELL out of me. I didnt even realize we crossed or were hovering on the border until i recently saw a picture on google maps near the medlan ranch. yikes!

Yea we could of high tailed out of there. But we knew who did it. We figured we were safe. And it was getting cold and dark. Our tent is very big and very annoying to take down in the wind and cold with light fading away by the minute.
And ther e was zero chance we were going to leave after knowing they broke into the car because it was about 4 in the morning. Pitch black and about 40 degrees outside, perhaps colder...

I thought you were scared of them, thus the reason you didnt confront them while they were breaking into your car and stealing. You just sat there and didnt even say anything to them? But now you are saying you felt safe so you stick around? How would you know they wouldnt come back?
And you went camping with no flashlights? You couldnt turn your car lights on and quickly take everything down and pack it up?
I mean, if this story happened to anyone else...they would have just thrown their tent, etc in the car and fled. Darkness and coldness wouldnt matter.
And can you explain how your long lasting battery, never turns off camera was filming them and was NEVER disturbed while they ransacked your tent?
The fact that you chose to stick around after being scared, vandalized and a victim of theft just makes this story seem completely made up. Nobody in their right mind would just shrug their shoulders and keep on camping out amongst the big bad mean security guards.

I remember on one of my zillion or so camping trips to Area 51, I came back to find my campsite was rummaged through too. Too bad they didn't know about my ultra secret camera I leave on just in case this happens. I played it back, and what do you know...It was a friggin' saquatch and the loch ness monster. Who would have thought?!? Unfortunately, I screwed up the camera or something, so I don't really have anything to show for it...but damn, you should have seen it. Lucky there is this nifty place online where I expect people to believe me without question, so here I am.
If your campsite was messed up, it was probably some disreputable folks that happened by. Being in that area you keen to fantasize about some sort of conspiracy so here you are. I don't believe a word of what you are saying other than perhaps someone messed with your campsite (which happens pretty often, unfortunately, but it doesn't mean some government types are messing with you....your not that important...I know that hurts to think about it, but your not).

Yup, exactly why staying and going to sleep is so odd. Move camp, go home.....nearly anything makes more sense.
