Example, the new runway was built to eliviate the stress forom the first runway and to make room for extra teresral craft, mo I doubt it would say my point is and it's not a dig and I really do appreciate that idea but groom lake is a top secret airfield that the government still deny is there so what makes you think in the documents it would tell us why the second runway was built the info that you get from it might very well be true and they might Tell the truth. I'm going to have a look into it though will keep you posted, thanks again

You may live in a world where Area 51 is some sort of super top secret facility that doesn't officially exist but some of us live in a world where Area 51 is just part of the test & evaluation infrastructure used by the Department of Defense and intelligence community for evaluation of cutting edge aircraft and systems.

Stop mythologizing it.

The existence of the Groom Lake facility has never been secret. In 1955 the CIA crafted a statement for release to the news media through the Atomic Energy Commission to inform the public of construction of the new base. The statement, describing the location and basic configuration of the airfield (then known as Watertown Airstrip) was given to newspapers, television reporters, and radio stations in Nevada and Utah. In 1959, the media was further informed of progress on "Project 51" at Groom Lake where EG&G was moving their radar facilities. In January 1960, an unclassified Nevada Test Site newsletter published "new Area 51 telephone numbers" for the base commander, security office, and base contractor. Area 51 appeared on numerous unclassified maps, including those handed out to the general public by the AEC. The most famous acknowledgement of the existence of the facility was the 1995 declaration by President Bill Clinton in regard to "the Air Force operating location near Groom Lake." Last year, the CIA declassified its association with Area 51, now allowing the terms "Groom Lake" and "Area 51" to be used freely in discussions and documents regarding the agency's historic activities at the site.

If you can't find any documents on the Groom Lake runways, just study the recent satellite imagery. Many pictures show parts of the lakebed filled with water from the rainy season. The flood-damaged northern end of the old runway is clearly visible in a picture taken in April 2000. Remember, the northern end is right on the edge of the lakebed. The asphalt extension across the west side of the lakebed was for emergency use.

Yes. Please read "It's No Secret: Area 51 was Never Classified," on the Dreamland Resort web site. It is an excellent article and includes scans of many of the documents and maps. There are other documents available, as well, but I don't know how many are on the Internet. Some are available in the National Archives and through various other providers of unclassified and declassified documents (Dept. of Energy, CIA, etc.).

thank you shadow and gariac i will chase them up in the morning ill let you know how i get on, as for now nite nite

they are still there it was proved a couple months back there is still alot of activity there

if area 51 is so top secret when why can u see pics of it

the pictures are from a distance you cant make anything of relevance out however alot of people suspect that area 51 is more of an underground facility but nobody can prove that i think, the closest you can actualy get to groom lake is roughly 25 miles thats from Tickaboo peak, you would need some very expensive camera equipment to get some good quality close up pictures

We have all seen photos of Area 51 employees going to work on the Buses or coming out of the Airport in Las Vegas after getting off the "Janet" flights, yes!

So why doesn't somebody just follow one home in their car and kind of, sort of say, tell me or else etc?

Surely somebody would spill the or some beans about what is going on their if you looked like a bit of a thug.

I'm not endorsing violence or anything like that, just a sort of tell us what you know.

Do you think they would speak out or just slam the door in your face?
