Drove out to area 51 today... 2

Was pretty fun. Right as I got on highway 375 (extraterrestrial highway) I passed the infamous unmarked white school bus. I thought that was cool. It was being followed by a local police truck, which I thought was kinda weird. (Im assuming its local, Im not familiar with the local police, but it was a marked truck with lights up top). As I got to groom lake road, the sun was setting. About 15 miles up the dirt road, it started to curve around. In the distance on a hill, I could see a group of little yellow lights. By this time is was pretty dark. Ive never been there before so I didnt know where I was really going, or what to expect. Almost to the last bend, still looking at this group of yellow lights wondering what the fuck...flash...head lights. Bright as fuck. It was 3 suvs. As I go around the last hill, about 200 yards ahead I see the infamous warning signs. As I get closer, I see one of the suvs on the hill is starting to move. Its coming down the hill towards me. It goes out of sight around a hill. I stop before the signs, open my door to get out for a picture, and there he is. He pulls up in front of me. His brights are on and I cant see shit. All I hear is something like "This is government property, turn around". I was like wtf? I asked, half chuckling "Can I take a quick picture?" and hear back a stern and simple "No."
Fucking bummer. I hardly even had a chance to read the signs. So as Im going back down groom lake, I get passed by a grey jeep going up. I started to slow down, to see if they send him back like they did me. Maybe have a laugh with him. Im slowly driving...waiting...waiting. Nothing. He never came back. Wish I woulda got a better look at him as he passed. Oh well. It was a pretty short drive, got some good pics and a funny story

I'd like to roll out there too someday. If anything it would at least be really fun and interesting.
And how about dosing L/mush and camping out on a hill around there within binocular distance? That would be THE SHIZNIT.

The main peak where you could see the base from was bought by the military, so no more lookey loos could spy on em. There is another peak somewhere, but Im not familiar with the area. As for camping, that shit would be awesome. My eyes would be glued to the sky all night...
Shroomery Nevada desert gathering anybody?

Test air craft. This is documented. Aliens and spaceships are hearsay. Supposedly there is another base elsewhere, I recall reading about something underground in Utah. Area 51 got way too popular. Although, in the past years satellite photos have shown new underground bunkers/hangars...So theyre definitely still using the base for something huge.

um its a gov't military facility, where they develop and test weapons and aircraft, it shouldn't surprise you that there is tight security. heh. The proving grounds would be fun to sneak up on, even tho you probably couldn't get close, or would end up getting deathed by some aids gas that is leaked around there permitted.
Next time you go tho, don't use your car, use a bike, so they hvae a harder time knowing you're coming. Also I'm sure they have infrared sensors, like motion detectors, so during the day during a sunny day would probably be a better bet. I've always thought about sneakin gup there with a telephoto lens and a camera, but I figured if I did get caught I would probably be black bagged as a spy or some shit and never seen again. I think area 51 is mostly hype now, i think most stuff is moved out to utah at the proving grounds. There are so many black sites around the world, so many secret bases, I think area51 is mostly novelty these days.

Yeah I agree. It's still cool to keep the mystery alive though, I mean, at least it keeps it interesting.
What other highly secretive bases/locations do you really know about? I wanna read up on some of them, see what's up.

Check out the dugway proving grounds in Utah. Nothing secret, but theres a lot of talk lately about its use. Theyre supposedly using the facility and personnel to build an underground complex elsewhere in the state.

I think its just as active as its ever been. Theyre just going more underground with the base. Theres many tales of hangar style doors built into the surrounding mountains, and recent photos have shown more buildings, hangars and bunkers appearing around the base
