Look at Area 52 not 51! Gigantic Silo door, page 1

Tonopah Test Range, also known as Area 52, is a military installation located about 30 miles southeast of Tonopah, Nevada. It is part of the northern fringe of the Nellis Range and is inaccessible to the public. The Tonopah Test Range measures 625 miles² in size. Tonopah Test Range is located about 70 miles northwest of Groom Dry Lake, home of the Area 51 facility. Like the Groom Lake facility, Tonopah is a site of interest to conspiracy theorists, though mostly for its use of experimental and classified aircraft. As such, it is not the focus of alien enthusiasts, unlike its neighbor. It is also used for launching sounding rockets.

Now that you know what it is id like to pose a question. i was google earthing like many of us to in our bored time, and i happen to REfind something i saw long ago but was so convinced i saw it at area 51 i never found it again and it was only 70 miles from area 51. Just northeast of the tonopah aircraft test range and just south of the dried lake bed at "lat 37°50'0.58"N" and "long 116°43'37.56"W" there is a mystery object which is 264 yard wide or .15 miles long or if u like 792 feet. althought what i think it is has got to be impossible im open to find out what it really is. this object to me looks like a gigantice silo/hangar doorway both because of its shape and the caution coloring along what looks like the center of the object in question. just thought id bring this up since no one ever talks about area 52 its always area 51 open your eyes to the surrounding area

Tonopah Test Range Odds and Ends

That is the hard target. They do drop tests at the TTR. Also check out
TTR

The TTR is considered to be jointly run by the DOE and the USAF, though it seems the USAF really run the place. DOE (Sandia) runs the gear for flight monitoring. Al around the range are cinetheodolites to film aircraft or objects dropped from aircraft.

Further south, the USAF flies aircraft over foreign radar systems. In the day, the aircraft are always conventional. At night, who knows.

So there are two known functions of the TTR. The rest is subject to much speculation. Among the many stories regarding the TTR, one that seems to make sense is that they test new engines and/or fuel mixtures there. Engine testing is generally done on some plane that can get off the ground with one engine not functioning. [Remember, the engine is under test, so you can't rely on it.] N747GE is a civilian aircraft often seen doing such testing. Nobody has photographed a plane flying at the TTR close enough to see a tweaked engine.

Next up, they could be testing experimental avionics at the TTR. Again, this is something that could be done with less security than Area 51. Often avionics under development is put very conventional aircraft. N757A was recently spotted over the Nellis range, which might signal new avionics for the plane.

That target is pretty old. In the day, the accuracy of the drop wouldn't be as good as the GPS or laser guided weapons we have today. So my guess is they really really wanted to make sure they hit the target rather than have to dig the test object out of the ground.

I'm not entirely sure how the hard target was used. It is very likely this target is used for testing in relation to delivering nuclear weapons, and in particular, the B-61 (a "laydown" delivery)
B-61
I'd say how the hard target was used is in itself a research project.

There is a funny "drain" on the TTR. It is very visible in the first photograph on this page:

The TTR is what you call a gray area. The place isn't exactly public, but it is not in the black either. Information is out there, or could be requested in a FOIA if you know where to start. In many ways, it is more interesting than Area 51 because you can at least get a few clues as to what happens at the TTR. Area 51 happenings are the subject of endless speculation. If it wasn't for the Roadrunners dumping actual facts, there would little truth about the area in the public domain.

Any idea what this structure is? It's SW of area 51....nice, standard issue DOD double fence design, plenty of lights.

Or how about a nice secret entrance into the side of the mountain.

I spend way too much to much time playing with Google Earth and frequently search for all the secret stuff. Found some good stuff in Australia last night, I'll post the links later.

Item one is the DAF. Any time you see double fencing, think kill zone.

For the second item, I think that is a tunnel entrance, but I need to do a bit more research. I have a map of the NTS here:

I don't think there is much of the NTS that can be seen from the outside (google earth) that the public information officer won't tell you. Well, except for that secret paved runway that was added to Yucca Lake.

I think you are on to something. When I typed "36.561713, -116.033470" into the Google Earth search function it placed my search result at "36.334216, -116.020049."

Is this a glitch in the program, or deliberate obfuscation to misdirect the casual searcher ? There is no way to know, but I find it interesting.

I have Google Earth Pro 4 and the zoom slider graphic on mine stay at the same place too. I can be zoomed in all the way and the little arrow thing never moves up and down.

I don't have any problem w/ the lat. and long., it goes right there for me.
