I must say, this is the most sucessful Something Awful-styled threadjack I've seen somewhere other than SA.

Next person that spams gets restricted and a PCR...

Who wants to be first?

Bugs ****ing Bunny · September 21, 2003, 15:35

Just out of interest, what sort of work is believed to go on in Area 51? I'd assumed it was some sort of aircraft testing zone, so I'm wondering how all the hazardous materials fit in.

Boris Godunov · September 21, 2003, 15:43

Conspiracy loons like to believe the U.S. government is hiding evidence of alien visitors to Earth there.

Harovan · September 21, 2003, 15:44

Ugh! Do you wish to say, that there's no freak show?

Nubclear · September 21, 2003, 15:44

Or that the US government is genetically mutilating poor people in order to develop the perfect biological weapon.

Yes, I do occasionally read "Alternative News" sites.

Adalbertus · September 21, 2003, 16:00

Tass,

The trick is oooold. Has been done with plague infected people already.

Nubclear · September 21, 2003, 16:07

I used to read this alternative news site daily

It was called "Wake up America!". But now when I search it up, I get some whacko saying hes a prophet and that China and Russia are going to attack the US and the US being evil will fall and Russia being evil will fall and China will rise. UGH.

So I continue searching, and I find it. It says it's moved...I click the link, and it's a porn site!!!!

I want my Wake Up America! back

Some of the materials used to absorb radar can be quite toxic. The allegation by the employees that they were ordered to burn these materials on windward side of the base and they were forced to work in the toxic smoke. One of the workers got "scaley" skin (I assume it dried and cracked), others are reporting weird sicknesses and resperatory diseases.

Because it's a secret base, there no accounting or environmental regulation at the base

Area 51 is just an area the airforce tests it's new aircraft.

The F-22 was tested there along with the B2 bomber

chequita guevara · September 21, 2003, 16:59

I wonder why they didn't test the JSF there.

Dis · September 21, 2003, 17:17

well that is less secretive I'd imagine. They are developing it in conjunction with England (and maybe a few other European countries)

That's just stupid. Why would the government even bother to do that?

My theory on [democratic] government is, that it isn't capable of being actually malicious, just incompetent.

Nubclear · September 21, 2003, 17:22

A government, because it is made by people, it prone to human behaviors.

To say that it cannot be malicious is to say humans cannot be malicious.

Kuciwalker · September 21, 2003, 17:24

The government as a whole is incapable of doing anything malicious. It is pretty much incapable of doing anything, actually

Sirotnikov · September 21, 2003, 18:02

What's the damn secrecy about testing new aircraft?

Kuciwalker · September 21, 2003, 18:04

Stealth planes...

Sikander · September 21, 2003, 19:11

One of my cousins works there, but I don't know what he does exactly. He's retired from the Navy and his area of expertise was air operations.

Nubclear · September 21, 2003, 20:08

Then ask him if their hiding aliens there.

I don't have a "need to know".

Actually there are two sites there. The first site used to be in viewing range, however the Gov. bought the land in the early 90s that we could go up on a mountain and look at the first site from about 15 miles away.
The other site in some 10 to 15 miles away over a mountain range from the site were they test new secret aircraft. The second site is rumor to have some weird thing there, but since no one is talking, we really don't know. Some years ago, there was a satellite (France) showing area 51. You could see the main site with runways, but the other smaller site may have had runways to, just can't remember.

All flights are at night.

Planes that were tested at area 51 that we know of, were the SR-71, Halve Blue, and the F-117. They say that there are other planes that have been buried there after testing was completed. If that is true, that is to bad. Some 50 years from now, they could be in the Air Force Museum.

The F-22 is being tested at Edwards.
The B-2 was tested at Edwards also. It was only secret that we were building one. After it was Built, they roll it out and aloud the public to see it.

pchang · September 22, 2003, 01:25

I have heard a rumor that there is indeed an alien ship being stored at the really secret part of area 51. However, the ship is just hull fragments (it crashed after all). Supposedly, analyzing these fragments have help us make advances in materials science.

Sirotnikov · September 22, 2003, 03:00

pchang, what's your source?

Joseph, any possibility to locate the french air pictures?

I'm not sure but maybe one is Air Force and the other is NAvy? There could be another explination though.

pchang · September 22, 2003, 12:14

Cannot reveal the source, but it came from a person who had been in the place.
