I go out there about three times a month. Once I saw some strange lights over what I believe was Area 51 airspace. If I had to bet my life on it, I would say it was probably a flare of some type, but I will never know for sure. To be honest, when I go out there, I rarely look up at the sky anymore. I guess my desire to be around the area is caused by the fact that I can't get close enough to really see what is going on behind those hills. Because of this fact, nobody can say for sure this is what goes on there and this can't go on there and on and on. I enjoy listening to John Lear tell his stories about Area 51. Some of his early photos are fascinating. He tipped off a local TV station in 1985 about the F117 at Groom. I have seen photos of his that date to the early 80's, but then he talks about aliens and underground transportation systems. What should I make of him. He clearly knew about Area 51 before many others. I imagine because of the experiences flying for the CIA or his pilot friends. Some of his stories are truly fascinating, but then some are so out there that I can't even comprehend what he is saying. I have completely enjoyed Peter Merlin's historical account of Area 51. That man is a true researcher. No "bull" with him. He has some great facts and he is so knowledgable about the projects that have been at Groom. Google him and get his books. They really are a piece of our history. I love to read everything I can get my hands on by The Desert Rat. He has a brilliant way of writing about the emotional and psychological aspects Area 51, Black Projects, and UFO's have on people. He can show how similar people hunting the mysterious flying triangle versus a UFO really are. So many people have so many reasons for being interested (obsessed) with Area 51. That truly makes it a special place regardless of what you see or don't see in the sky. I would imagine the majority of the population believes that something extraterrestrial has been at Area 51 or is currently there. Personally, I don't but the possibilities are endless as long as I can't get past the Cammo Dudes. Not many places exist that offer this type of escape from the reality of house payment, credit card bills, etc. etc. etc. I hope they always keep me out! I am sure everybody has their own reason for being interested in Area 51.

Nobody talks about the TTR, yet it is nearly as "secret" as Groom Lake. They have had "family day" a few times, but never a public open house that I know of.

The base knows where to find me if they want to give me a tour.

If you would share some of your TTR photos that would help spread the word. You have my word, you photos will not appear near any aliens or UFO's. Maybe next to the section about storming the cammo dudes at the warning signs or next to the section about sending in an RC plane to take photos!

And how exactly would sharing my TTR photos spread the word. You google Tonopah Test Range, and you find my photos and info. [The first two hits are wikis.] Seems like a plan to me.

I have the route to the TTR on the website. As you know, I have another website in the works that will be themed on how to go out and research the Nellis range and similar areas. Like the old Visitors Guide that Glenn used to sell, but online and cell-phone friendly. It is ironic that Tom Mahood's old Blue Fire format (text with links for photographs) was great for smartphone surfing.

There is a geocache at Golden Arrow. It turned out that these geocaches are a great way to see if the roads are passable. The last visitor to Golden Arrow got snow. I know someone who had a flat out there, so don't drive too close to the mine. I always park far away from these old mines because you don't know how big they are underground. It's unlikely walking would caue a cave in, but I don't know about driving a few tons of vehicle over the excavation.
