AREA 51 - uknown device shown and discussed

A number of months ago, I created a thread to bring to the attention of ATS members that due to an extremely fortunate (and very rare) occurrence, it's quite possible that evidence of an advanced Area 51 project was for a short time, observable using Google Earth.
This fluke didn't last for long, as will shortly be shown, Google Earth soon afterwards took steps to deliberately and purposely, degrade the image to such an extent that a lot of the original detail would subsequently be lost. I believe that the degradation was done in preference to removing the image completely as removing it would have been an obvious indication to GE users that something unusual had been at that particular location.

Anyway, my original thread was almost entirely criticized and ridiculed as showing nothing more than "a pile of coloured rocks" !!! ... and so I have tried once more to provide additional and hopefully sufficient visual evidence to suggest beyond a reasonable doubt that this is indeed a secret and very unusual Area 51 project.


Let's start of by taking a look at the location where the image of the device/object was obtained. This location was high up in the completely militarily controlled Papoose Mountain range, approximately 25kms south-east of the main Area 51 complex.

This is the original image showing what appears to be a device and found in a very isolated and desolate location.
In my previous thread, many ATS'ers went to great length to convince me (and others), that this was nothing more than a pile of rocks ... but notice that large, isolated rocks in that particular spot are almost non-existant ... basically nothing but bare ground.
Even so, it should be immediate apparent that there is something unusual about the this so-called "pile of rocks" that makes it stand out from it's surroundings.

Before we continue, take a look at the original image on the right ... then compare it to the same image on the left, taken a few months later.
You can immediately see the extent to which the later image had been degraded to make it extremely difficult to pick out any details and to make it "blend" more with the background.

In the next 4 images, I've put a lot of effort into isolating the device from its background so that it's artificiality and structure is more easily seen ... and to dispel the "it's a pile of rocks" debunkers.

At this point I have to mention that EVERY image is completely unmodified and the ONLY changes have been to enhance the sharpness, the contrast and the colour levels in an attempt to bring out as much detail as possible.

In the following image, I've enhanced the colour saturation to emphasize different structural components.

Ok, lets start examining the devices individual structural components.

Even without looking to hard, it's immediately obvious that there seems to be some kind of glowing circular ring surrounding the structure that joins the "head" component to the "main body" component ... purpose uknown ... well, actually I DO have a very good idea what it's purpose is but at the moment I'll keep that bit of info to myself to avoid the "howls of derision" that would certainly be thrown at me ! If I get enough positive feedback, then I'll reveal what the rings purpose seems to be.
[atsimg]http://files.abovetopsecret.com/images/member/4855e4fb4532.jpg[/atsimg]

This image shows the head, neck and ring components ... notice especially that the head is bilaterally symmetrical.
[atsimg]http://files.abovetopsecret.com/images/member/82d5bc88156b.jpg[/atsimg]

Here we see a close up of the glowing ring, the neck structure and how the neck structure connects to the main body.
[atsimg]http://files.abovetopsecret.com/images/member/ef09cf15b06f.jpg[/atsimg]

Looking at the main body structure, we can immediately see that it's composed of 4 seperate components:
- an upper body cylinder (yellow)
- a lower body flat wedge (green)
- a cylindrical tube attached to the left (and presumably, right) side of the main body (looks like a high calibre weapon, to me)
- an unknown bluish device (that reminds me of a chess set pawn) mounted on the upper side of the green wedge and in front of the yellow cylinder.
[atsimg]http://files.abovetopsecret.com/images/member/a014dd2716f2.jpg[/atsimg]

Here we see what appears to be the upper section of a mechanical "leg", a "knee joint", followed by the lower section of the mechanical "leg". Presumably there would be a matching leg on the other side of the main body but it's not visible.
There also appears to be some other possible supporting structure directly beneath the green main body component.

The remaining nine images have had different filters applied to the original image, in an attempt to give differing perspectives on the device ... and to reinforce the point that this device is clearly ARTIFICIAL !

Man, I wish alot of others pictures were as highy analyzed as this one is.
But still, it looks like shrubbery or trees. Not necessarily rocks.

I understand what your trying to say here, don't be offended. You did a great job. I just remain skeptical because I don't see any abnormal objects or devices.

Like an ink blot. You see what your brain wants to.

Good analysis though.

What am I supposed to be seeing here? the "object" looks like shrubs to me but good work none the less,

Ok... I see now you think this is some kind of creature

In the following image, I've enhanced the colour saturation to emphasize different structural components.

You mean the structure of the rocks right?

I think there is a syndrome where people hunt on GE for days trying to find something major.. they can't but by this time they start to hallucinate.

Interesting .. Kinda looks like Barney

Seriously though I think you are really wanting to see more than what is actually there and as usual GE doesn't pack the resolution to see anything clearly enough to know what it really is so I think the imagination sees what it wants to see.

I'm not trying to bash you or anything but I really don't see more than a bad image of standard terrain in the area. I will be interested in seeing what else you may find in GE as its pretty entertaining since I don't have the sort of imagination that lets me see such things.

I'm just posting here to get my clearance for posting threads. Nevertheless, I think somebody's trying to be funny here.

Each section of the 'object' is lit and shaded correctly with the same light source, however rather than this being one solid and erect object, this is a collection of smaller ground-based objects which seem to be related due to perspective. I can confirm this because there is no shadow cast by the object as would be expected if indeed it was standing higher than any of the surrounding landscape.

Arrrrrgggghhhhhhhh .... I just don't get it at all

I'm an intelligent person and certainly can tell the difference between a "pile of rocks" and a constructed device ... especially after having analyzed this "device" from every angle over many months.
And to have people post that it's a rock or a bush absolutely stuns me with amazement, surprise and incomprehension.

So we have a bright yellow, cylindrical "rock" sitting on top of a green, flat rock ... and another brown rock connected to these rocks by a long thin rock ... and then a blue rock sitting on the green rock ... with 2 tube shaped rocks connected to the green rock, on opposite sides of the green rock ?

Is that it ?

Yep, can see now how I missed that completely during those months !!!

Looks like I've totally wasted my time yet again ... makes me wonder why I even bother

Hmmmm ... I've just had a really good look at your images, especially the ones that you've removed the background from and I certainly can easily see what you're on about. Whatever the device is it's clearly NOT rocks, trees, bushes or any similar lame explanation.

For a conspiracy site, seems a lot of people here are sadly lacking in the desire to "know" when finally presented with some semblence of proof that stuffs really happening out there that we have no idea at all of.

The various parts of the device stand out very clearly so obviously you've done a great job and time well spent. As for what it is, the only thing that comes to mind is some kind of advanced military vehicle.

Thanks for the words of encouragement ! I definitely appreciate them considering the amount of time and effort I've put into bringing this to the attention of ATS.

But I'm beginning to suspect that despite all the words of "show us proof" being uttered on this site, the real truth of the matter is that the moment something even remotely close to "proof" is presented, that the prevalent attitude becomes one of "head in the sand" and debunk with the 1st "explanation" that comes to hand !

ROCKS and BUSHES ... WTF !!!!!

OMFG.....You found him......That looks extremely like my pit bull terrier I lost 3 years ago....Seems he is being trained as a clown, maybe to act in Vegas one day....
Or its just rocks, rocks and more rocks with a few scattered shrubs......................

What makes me laugh about the people posting on this thread is that they come out and say "Oh its bushes" and "your mind only sees what you want to see"

TALK ABOUT A UNDERSTATEMENT

How about i agree with the OP! It is artificial!
And all you "Its a bush" People are just seeing what you want to see..

Works BOTH ways.

I'd like to believe something is there.. but if this is from google earth wouldn't this thing be laying on the ground? The way you describe it as "rocks" sitting on top of rocks would be like looking at it from the side.

Personally I don't think it's just rocks when they go through and blur images later.

Are you trolling? That does not look like a device, and even after you modified the image to try to make it look like something, I cannot agree with your conclusions.

hey

well i was excited when i first saw the picture cos the blue glowy ring thing looks awefully like a flying saucer in the middle of some rocks, so i assumed that was what you saw. And it still looks that way. I just dont think the thing as a whole as you show it is anything. Looks like a rubber duck to me.

but the flying saucer shaped blue thing, now that does look promising.

ROCKS and BUSHES ... WTF !!!!!

I personally want to think it is something above and beyond (no pun intended) a rock or a bush; the whole area (again not intended!!) is a fascinating place to see on GE if you know/believe some of the 'stories'.

However, I did not star the OP for the 'discovery'.........

I starred and flagged the thread because I personally think that the amount of effort and general f**ing around that has gone into this is commendable. Surely the OP is the kind of person you WANT on this site; someone who will pick up something decidedly suspicious in his opinion and roll with it. Whether he is right or wrong, he at least took some time to try arrive at the truth.

I for one applaud the effort and I look at the people who have been on here for so long that the very idea of them having social lives has become a conspiracy, casting some almighty (imaginary) judgement on to this fantastic effort with no mention of the work that was put in.

I am not ACTIVELY searching for the truth but I know that if I was, I would definitely want someone like this chap working with me. Of all the seriously weird people that can be found here (no not all of you, but most, you have to agree), there are some that actually attempt to back up their claims with some real work.

Well done OP, your efforts were not wasted and I respect you without even having met you purely because I can see the amount of work you have put into trying to enlighten the masses. Well done also to the others who acknowledged his efforts.

OK so I just want to say first off I hate it when people on here just spend all of their time looking for ways to shoot down theories and be the constant skeptic. I think it's lame and a great deal of the time it seems like these "debunkers" are reaching and that the theory being hypothesized is much more believable than the critic's analysis! Now that being said and me also saying that I struggled with the thought of if ya don't got nothing nice to say...., but man I think in this case your imagination has got ya. I see what it is I think you are seeing but really it does seem to just be a pile of rocks man. No offense and like was said earlier good job pulling it apart and analyzing the photo but I still see rocks man. Sorry

No kidding. That was the point in the statement. Everyone sees what they want.

Technically neither the OP or anyone else can claim its definitely "artificial", unless they had physical evidence. Not a Google
Earth photo thats been enhanced.

End of discussion.

I agree with the above statement.
When i get my 20 posts up i also have interesting finds on google earth that i would like people to take a look at.

I truly respect you for the amount of work you have put into this, however, I cannot see what you see in this image. All I see is the same characteristics in the surrounding landscape but different shapes. This combination of rocks and vegetation just happens to form a shape that you see as a device.

I have analyzed the image in photoshop and below are my results, I´m not going to spend any effort in proofing I´m right, this is just my opinion and I could be wrong of course.

The only thing I find odd in the image and cant explain is the small object below the big shrub. It could be a rock but it looks like a wheel or a disk tilted on the side.
