like what if a bunch of terrorists in trucks and heavy machine gun turrets and APC's and tanks and helicopters tried to get into area 51? would our government be able to stop them? ive been wondering....hmmm interesting.....

If terrorists tried to breach Area 51 it would be highly entertaining. They wouldn't get close to anything. The fireworks show would be incredible. They have shot down and captured or killed several intruders in the past. Its mostly entertaining on their part.

haha yeah itd b funny

Did you start this thread because you *really* wanted to know?
They wouldn't even get close. Area 51 is extremely secure.

This thread kinda' reminds me of a thread I read a while back about "what if you flew an RC plane into Area51 with a video camera mounted?

First of all, it would be shot down. Second, you would have better luck seeing something with a telescope from the nearest mountain...
But guess what you're going to see? Nothing much out of the ordinary for a military base.

Cool stuff goes on indoors.

Better than saying "terrorists", you should say "What if the Russian Army invaded Area51 (considering these terrorists have heavy Cav equipment.)"

Once again, they wouldn't get close. And if they even DID get close, the United States of America would have much bigger problems at that point as there will have been bases laid to waste for hundreds of miles before it even got that far.

Why would terrorists want to breach area 51.There are many areas around the United States that would be better targets than that.Flying a 747 into a stadium packed with people would be a disaster.Driving a massive truck bomb into the osca awards night would wipe out some important people.Anyway most terrorists would proberly be killed within the first 100 metres of breaching a fence at area 51.

A. The really cool projects moved somewhere else a long time ago.

B. They would be NEUTRALIZED and we would never even know about it.

Cheers!

You gave me an idea as well, actually.

Instead of an RC Plane, you could have better luck if you trained a Falcon to fly over the base with a camera mounted to its head.

I've seen a Paragrin Falcon go into a corkscrew dive with a camera mounted...

Just sayin...

Well.. "terrorists" don't infiltrate facilities in the hopes of finding secrets. That's more of an espionage thing.. or in other words, spies.

Terrorists terrorize things... I'd hardly call an attempted infiltration of Area 51 a "terrorizing act" to illicit the term "terrorist". Just drop the terrorist term altogether, actually. Whenever I hear the word terrorist, I cringe and become constipated until the end of the day.

Would be interesting nonetheless to see that though... Would be more interesting if one person infiltrated it and gave video evidence. Not that I care either way, because I feel Area 51 is a front complex and holds nothing.

Yeah because a bunch of guns, turrets and non USA military helicopters driving thorugh america wouldnt get noticed,

But seriously OP, this will never happen...its totally unplausible

And how do you suppose these "terrorists" would acquire these APC's and Helicopters on American soil?
Have a super underground base of there own? Or just raid a military base, then drive out in the middle of the desert.
Then try to steal some Ufo's

Although un-realistic. It would be interesting to see what would happen.

Thats gotta be an extremly stupid idea on the hostile force. Even if they managed to slip past local and government law enforcement, they'd get caught at the base lines of Area 51. HotSauce is right we would even hear of the actions. The terrorists would be detained, "debriefed" or as the C.I.A. calls it toture and then imprisonment . If they are lucky, or tested on by the greys.

Oh, I'm sure they still work on stuff in Area 51... Just nothing that gets off the ground.
It is still one of the most remote places in the US. Obviously inaccessible.

Even though people know it is there, they still can't get in there. And that will never change.

Yeah, I'm sure that most of their test-flight programs have moved locations, but I'm sure they still have top-flight labs at Area51...

As I said, all the cool stuff goes on indoors. For the most part, I'm sure it always did... Except for when the flew the craft.

This want meant ot be REAL like if it really happened it was just a funny thought that came to mind i thought id share lol
