An excellent find, thanks for sharing

Interesting that a new track has been built, when you zoom in you can make out the two faint lines running down the intersection of the track dividing the lanes into three. Based on the layout one could speculate that it was designed to test speed.

I wonder if they are testing out a new alien 'hybrid' fuel type?

I am constantly impressed by the ingenuity of some of my fellow humans. Regardless of whether there is or isn't anything going on at A51, it's great that these folks manage to find a way `in'.

They must hear all sorts of interesting noises on their phones.

I thought that photos of this and/or any base was strictly forbidden.

And to top it off they have copyright protection of said base...

Yes I agree great pics, but my thoughts are why would anyone CR pics of that kind of material?
Would that not lable them the quilty party?

Not trying to derail anything, or be off topic....sorry

This just throws red flags IMO other wise why would they be allowed to post/reproduce them, unless it was pre-approved by "????"

Just makes me think its what we are supposed to see, not whats really there, or its time critical and there is nothing classified in the open.

End of rant
peace ty and sorry

Hi Doc,

Peace... Ummm, as I understand it, any satellite can take pictures of the area as the air space in orbit isn't controlled or owned...

But, they cover up anything they don't want seen. There are well aware of the schedules the 'birds' fly and when they are overhead.

As for the copyright, as I understand it. Satellite time was purchased to take these. The funds came from donations to the site they are posted on.

So, I think it is understandable to CR the investment made for his site & users.

Thanks for the reply!!

Edit: No need to apologize. Good questions!

I have always believed that Area 51 is nothing more than a distraction, I'm sure there is another facility somewhere that no one has ever looked in to, or they have but never made the connection, all the time people think area 51, is trying to hide something the more protection the other place would have, I heard it said on here the other day that google earth couldn't see area 51 any more, but its still there, even on the latest update, so anyone know if there are any areas on American soil that are blocked out or covered up that could be a main area of interest? just a thought. Nice shots though :0)

The track is a running track. I found bids for similar construction for Nellis and Creech. Hey, you can get pretty flabby flying a UAV all day!

Ah, that makes a lot of sense. Thank you Gariac.

I thought it looked a little small for anything too fast....

Hi Watcher73

Hmmm, interesting. it has a way higher contrast than anything else in the photo. Like, lack of color... maybe missing spot or scratched out...

But, it has a well defined black outline... Maybe border came after from scanner? Not sure.

For a minute, I thought tarp in a tent shape... but I think the angle is wrong for that. Maybe a reflective tarp to spoil the camera shot.? (My roof turns everything around it blueish on GE)

It does give off a odd splash of color on one spot. I did hear they cover up 'stuff' when satellites are overhead.

And the 3 weird lights just off to it's left are strange. Seem out of place.

Its not on a runway, so I don't suspect a plane or such. It sorta looks off to the side amongst other debris.

Still, good eyes my friend. What do you think it might be?

Thanks,

Any one have any ideas on what the Triangular shaped object might be?

155ft tall with 30ft wide sides .. Rotates on a center axis.

That's one hell of an antenna if that's what it is.
