Care to point out these "treaties" on a official government website? Or is it just something you made up?

I agree there probably is stuff going on there but i dont believe its the new area 51.

Might the Mechanix Illustrated article really alludes to the new NSA Cyber Warfare Center being built on a military base near Salt Lake city, Utah. Or perhaps a base I really doubt an ordinary person got near, where a private company tests rocket boosters, which is barely on the map. The SLC bus company has a route to deliver workers to one edge of the base. Also there is the base which has houses the nerve gas which is supposed to be in the process of being destroyed. Frankly, a base which has bunkers full of old, leaky nerve gas containers is not a place I would be interested in going to under any circumstances.

I've been to this "base" numerous times. It's on the way to Crystal Geyser. (Which is spectacular when it goes off.) There is nothing going on at the "base." I've driven through (the gate was wide open one day) and poked around the buildings. Yes, some of them go underground. But, there's still nothing there but a bunch of old wiring. Ignore the base, it's useless. Go check out Crystal Geyser. It's much more interesting. As far as the trenching machine goes... at that time I believe that they were busy placing fiber optics cable along the route of I-70.

Its interesting how an article with great factual information can be forgotten about, but certain articles of bad journalism, will take on a life of their own - Sort of like this one from the 90s about Area 51 moving to Utah. Ditto for the TR-3 Manta nonsense, which has since morphed into TR-3B nuclear powered spaceships.
