FoF Catches Fast Moving Object on Camera at Groom Lake, page 1

The Fact or Faked crew decided to do a night sky watch out in NV. They split up and one guy goes up to Tikaboo point. While the others go to Campfire Hill.

While at Tp he notices security following the other part of his team. So the one guy thats at Campfire makes his way towards Groom lake, albeit still at a distance.

At around the 6 min 30 sec mark the runway at groom lake lights up for what seems to be 15 seconds. At that time you can observe something fast approaching form left to right in the corner of the screen then the lights on the runway go out.

Check it out.

No kidden right. The producers would surely have to let someone know there (a51) that they would be filming around the area that night...Regardless pretty neat. I also wondered if that was just cut and edit to coincide the 2 events to look like it appeared.

We can only take their word for that.

The footage is so chopped up and edited for the show, who knows what the sequence of events were.

We need raw footage to understand the context.

As for the object, looked simply to be a meteor entering the atmosphere.

I def agree... All about the ratings...I'll do some poking around to see if I can get something else on this.

Unless of course it was some spooky interstellar super duper area 51 aircraft that only requires nanaoseconds to land.... JKJKJK... I agree. Its just the timing of th whole thing... After all one would hope that sooner or later maybe something real will come out of all thede interesting bits on the interwebz. But alas I do not put hope that this is one of those times. I will maintain that it is note worthy and fun to speculate,

I'm in for that. If we could somehow arrange, some type of donation/community-help to better make this a reality... That would be so damn phenomenal. I'm talking being equipped with a few small solar-gathering [small electronics] equipment chargers, a laptop or iPad, a FLIR Scout, a DSLR, lenses, cell phone, mi-fi device, cooler, a convertible (all/extreme-season) sleeping bag, small tent/blind, and have a couple locals from ATS (I.e., Gariac, etc.), come by once a week with about 10gallons of water and MRE's, to maintain ones sustainence.. And every day make a blog post with your recorded findings and/or notes. I think that'd be a pretty sweet little project/documentary! Ps, most of that equipment, I already own.. So, really all would be needed, would be food/water, and time

Who wants to start the donations?

I've seen a meteor through NV. (Russian gen 2). You can actually see the ionization trail fir maybe 5 seconds after the meteor is gone.

There is obviously more to this show than that clip. I suspect the UFO they are talking about was the one that was shown on the TV show Hard Copy. The video in question is from a "Roland" that was participating in either a Red Flag or Nellis Fighter Weapons School. I assume either the video came from a FOIA, or a contractor sold it to Hard Copy. Also, given the terrain, the UFO was not over Area 51, but maybe Tolicha Peak as viewed from the TTR.

This link has a good analysis of the old video:

I have plenty of Roland photos here:

Note Tikaboo and Campfire Hill have line of sight. Certainly a mobile radio link would work between the two locations. Also it is nut to climb Tikaboo at night. The hike isn't particularly dangerous, but there are plenty of place where you could go rolling down the side of a hill if you screwed up.

The trail has a combination of markings: paint (orange, white, red, silver), yellow caution tape, red and blue flagging tape, red 3M reflective tape, and lately rocks with foil wrapped around them (AKA the hot potatoes). Only the reflective items would be easy to spot with a flashlight, and there are not a lot of them. Basically I think it is a bad idea to do the hike at night.

I took my wide angle night shot of Groom Lake and cropped it to the runway lights and then to the taxiway. You can use these images to verify the show was actually viewing Groom Lake.





It was windy, so the shots are not very good. However, they are useful for comparison purposes.

One error in the TV shows analysis is that the video was not handheld. If you look at the Roland that Nellis uses, they put a camera next to the dish to get a visual on the target. I think the video is used in the review of the war games rather than to actually target a plane, but I don't know for sure. Anyway, Nellis like much of the feds and military uses Cohu cameras. The camera was probably being moved with a joystick.
