i found a pic of the area on terraserver here -

terraserver-usa.com...

so does anyone know what this area is?

Then what the hell is this

terraserver.microsoft.com... 43708&W=3&opt=0&qs=Las+vegas%7c%7cNevada%7c&addr=Las+Vegas+Blvd+S%2c+Las+Vegas%2c+NV+89104&Lon=-115.122473&Lat=34.14599295

its not nellis afb as that has many buildings & even planes on the runway there (eg terraserver.microsoft.com...) & on this area there are hardly any buldings to be seen. it seems more to be etched onto the landscape. its also further north than nellis afb is.

Shrug, I'm not really disagreeing that it is interesting and unusal, just trying to point out a possible explanation. Can't just look at the *fun* possibilties right? We need to look at them all. Maybe the reason I got that whole area when I typed Nellis afb into it is because thats all part of it.

I live near Edwards AFB and Plant 42/skunkworks in Cali and the facilities go for miles and miles (eg fenced with *govt property no tresspassing signs) around the actual buildings.

It wouldn't suprise me if that was *part* of nellis, or used to be. Who knows what it is or was. I still think its very cool, I just think it probably is not anything mysterious(altho that would be much more entertaining )given the fact it's so close to Vegas and all.

Have you looked at these 2 things near the triangles?
This one if you look at the bottom it is *cut off* like it was covered by a blank square White line

And this one in the hills to the left of the triangles is wierd too. A road? A landing stip(on the side of a hill/small mtn? hrmm

Second Line

Anyway, I do believe the govt has agendas and does strange things, I'm just not one to brush off *possible* rational explanations in favor of thinking everything is a conspiracy. Altho I do think conspiracies are out there

**edit** heres another one right in the middle of the *grid* under the triangles Building? Weird

Just found this

The Nellis complex is huge. Apart from the 11,300 acres that make up the three sections of the main base, there are almost 5,000 square miles of restricted ranges to the north of Las Vegas over which the majority of some 40,000 sorties a year are flown

From this Link

I definately think its part of Nellis Bummer, good find tho let's keep looking hehe I'm having fun with Terra-server

**edit** oops just saw your reply, yeah I did, could be a shadow of a building or the mouth of a tunnel?? its very weird hehe keep looking, I am

Zoom in on the black dots in the middle there, explosion marks?
