A trip to Area 51

Hello

During the early part of next year I am due to visit the US to see friends and family in San Diego. During my trip I plan to visit Las Vegas and would like to take a trip down towards Area 51.

Would anyone be interested in pointing me in the right direction and showing me where to go? It would be nice to meet up with some fellow enthusiasts.

I have heard that the site isnt operational any longer - does anyone know whether that is true or not?

Many thanks, Newone.

Hello.

I am looking for advice on legal routes there and good viewing points.

Maybe someone could send me a personal message if they want elaborate pubilicy.

Thanks, Chris.

1) You won't get anywhere near area51
2) You have no idea how operational it is right now, believe me, and yes, it is operational

I couldn't agree more with "beer". It is so thoroughly protected, you would probably get blown up gettin within a mile of thhe place. I am just saying, i don't mean to offend anyone but, if u looked into area 51 you would know it would be impossible to get there unless your an alien or working for the high military government.

i dont think u'd get blown up exactly unless they were certain reasons for doing so, but i do think that if you got too close that you would be intercepted by someone and escorted off the premises. I have no doubt that they must have been at least ONE enthusiast to have gone missing over the years.... but not everyone.

I rememeber reading a blog somewhere about some britons who kept making trips to rudloe manor here in the UK and how they were repeatly stp[[ed etc, and even held in a cell once that i remember, but not killed, lol.

just google on Area 51, and you should find a wealth of info...even sights to see on the way, etc. Such dedicated sites usually have exact details as to the best viewing areas.

Keep in mind though, check the dates on sites, as some fairly recent aquisitions (past couple years) have further limited the vantage points...

Thanks.

All I want to do is just get an idea where the site is - not get myself in trouble!

Just to say I have been really.

Thanks for all of your help!

If you know where the White Sands missile base is...

u might get hassled, maybe held for a while and have all ur ids checked to make sure ur not working for another govt or for some private enterprise after their technology and secrets, but i dont think u'd get in much trouble if ur sensible about how u visit the site.

Back in '96, my husband & I took a road trip to Area 51. We went up to the border (as far as you can go) by driving down Groom Lake Rd., which leads off from Hwy 375. Watch out for cows. On the way down there we saw one of the "cammo dudes" (security people) in a white Jeep Cherokee take off in a cloud of dust & race towards the base, away from us. We think one of them followed us as we left & headed back toward the highway, but they didn't bother us.
There's no fence, but plenty of signs warning you not to trespass. Don't cross the border! You will be apprehended & probably will be in a lot of trouble.
We also climbed Tikaboo Peak (a good vantage point to see the base in the distance) with Glenn Campbell, who was a well-known Area 51 researcher at the time. He led hikes up to the peak, but I don't think he's doing that anymore. It was a difficult hike, and we were hurting afterwards, but what a view!
We lived to tell the tale, and had a lot of good memories too.

Here's a site that has some more info about getting there & what to expect:

Words for advice - Get too close to the Area 51 building and you will be fined or even shot. So stay clear.

I beleive Area 51 is in Neveda Desert, north of Las Vegas. I could be wrong.

Nah man i will tell you how to get into area 51. First you dress like a plumber. Tell them that a woman working in there needs her pipes cleaned Oh ya and just walk in... If anyone asks what your doin say "Dont worry im with him (and point to someone in there)" If things get to bad say you got a call about som pipes bein clogged.

BACK UP PLAN... get in a bus and drive in with a sign that says DONT SHOOT OR I WILL SUE...

****DO NOT ATTEMPT ANY OF THE ABOVE******


This person that made the thread knows that you cant get in area 51 i do not kno if its still bein used but WHO CARES it doesnt effect my life.

They won't send plumber to Area 51, when he gets back out he might tell the public what he saw and stuff.

Someone once was talking about the best ways to get in. I can't remember who said this, but I roffled for awhile:

Get a friend and dress up like a cow. Walk on in.

Zip

lol yea.. alien.. yep..

any on a more serious note, you wont be able to get very far, as they have siesmic sensors, patrols, radar and other stuff, they ask u to turn away b4 u get very far

i forget where i read it but i read somewhere that civilans workers are still sent to area51 and one of the most plausible ways in is to get on that flight through actually working or other means. Or hiding in the planes cargo hold but you'd need a airtank..

Sorry Raas32 That will not work. And to you newone, You can go and visit the border it is no problem I have been there and tuch the warning signs. But doent cross the border. If you cross the border you will get in jail an you have to pay much money. If you get to close they can kill you. Dosent mean that they do but they can. I know pepole how can guide you. They can a lot of the base and the area around.

As far as i know, you go for a little ways down that road that leads to it.. and then you start seeing a bunch of signs telling you to stop, and go away, no photography, and blah blah blah. If you go past that you will be stopped, and arrested. They take you and everyone in your party to a local jail, where you are detained for a while, and each person is fined a semi-hefty amount of money...

I dont think there is any possible way you can get in there... Anything that might be possible to do, you would have to be willing to risk your life. And personally, i dont care that bad.

I've seen pictures of the signs around there, even though they say photography is prohibited. Is it really illegal to just take pictures? I remember reading that those signs had no legal backing. Is this true?

I have been to the border. Taken picture an film, They relly doent care. You can go to the border (the warning signes) but doent go furter.
