August 14th - Area 51 2008
Today we made our way to the little town of Rachel, Nv. It's not on most maps and has a total population of 89 people. What makes it so important? It's on the border of Area 51! There is a little hot spot The Lil' A' Le Inn. They serve alcohol, food, lodging, gifts, and sometimes local legends of Area 51 and the strange happenings at night.
According to the government it actually does not exist. They repeatedly state that there is nothing out there. Here's what we got.
n grid number 51 of the Nevada Test Site, so it's called Area 51. The United States Air Force Flight Test Center controls the base. It's best known for testing exotic aircraft and weapons. The base was
created in 1954 as a place to test the secret U-2 spyplane that was used to fly missions over the Soviet Union. Then it started to house the SR-71, A-12 and D-21 drone. The F-117A was tested there, also. In the 1980's the base increased in size, along with the runway (which increased to the present 6 miles). Then, mysterious lights began to appear, and armed guards known as the cammo dudes star ted patrolling the border. The government closed many viewpoints from which the Area 51 base could be seen. In 1989, a "physicist" named Bob Lazar claimed that he worked at a base south of Area 51 and also claimed that Area 51 was testing extremely advanced aircraft and UFO's they got by trading with the aliens. Since then, Area 51 has been thought to be the test center of captured UFOs because of the lights in the night sky.There are strange and anonymous security guards at Area 51. They are called "cammo dudes", because of the camouflage that they wear. Anyway, the dudes patrol the border with their white Jeep Cherokees or pickup trucks in two teams. They have been seen with automatic weapons. The cammo dudes are probably not
military guys, and no one knows who hired them. Perhaps they enjoy doing this. The rumors are as follows:
The Cammo Dudes are employed by:
The cammo dudes also have helicopters. They use the helicopters mainly for security purposes, but there have been a number of occasions when the helicopter would harass viewers at the border. It would fly a few feet above the viewers throwing up dust and other debris. This, of course, is not legal, even for a bunch of weird, anonymous, social outcasts that guard government military bases.
There are magnetic sensors. It's in a plastic capsule about six inches long and are buried beside the road. This capsule contains the batteries. A bucket-shaped container contains the transmitter. The wires running off to either side lead to sensors that are bur ied a few feet apart on the roadside. These sensors transmit signals as someone passes.
This makes it impossible to break into Area 51. It could lead to immediate arrest, immediate death, and/or an immediate fine of $10,000 or more. (If they kill you, they take your wallet).
So, what happened on our trip? We got to the Lil A'Le Inn and casually proceeded in. We sat at the diner type counter and ordered a burger & fries & coke...each. While waiting we talked to no one but listened to the workers talk to the "tourists". She spoke of not going out to the warning signs and taking pics since once you're at the Inn the government already knows who you are. She mentioned of weird happenings such as 10 to 15 Pepsi trucks leaving the dirt road that leads to the base all at once at 60-70 mph. Strange lights in the skies at night. Strange calls telling them to stop doing things they were doing as they were doing them inside of their homes. We just relaxed and soaked it all in. The employees were really nice but the customers gave me an uncomfortable feeling.
Our meals came...we ate and it was a really good burger. All-together it came up to $14 As he gave me the check and the woman behind the counted stated that they were closing early today since they have to drive 100 miles to fight against the state building a prison 4 miles away. So we made it just in time. I got up paid the bill and left a $5 tip and casually asked "if one were inclined to take some pics of non existent base where would one go?" He smiled and said he could get us to the rear entrance that not many know of, where, if we were lucky we could see the gate of entry. And also gave us the standard directions to the Restricted signs of the main entrance.
We said our thanks as they closed, bought a mug, posed for a pic with the owner, Pat and left on our adventure. We drove for miles and miles on a dirt road in the middle of no where in the blazing 111 degree heat of the desert. We finally saw a puff of dust in the distance. This vehicle was moving wicked fast toward where we were but coming from a different direction. We finally crested a small hill and in the distance....there it was. A guard shack a gate, a few red signs, and a few huge spinning radar type dishes. We instantly stopped the vehicle in the horizon sped in. We picked up our binoculars for a better look...we were about 4 miles away. They were watching us...binoculars met binoculars......ok time to leave since it would be too damn easy for some one to disappear forever out there. We sped out to the main road and up the road. About a half mile up the main road we noticed two white trucks in the distance. One pickup truck and another that looked to be a service truck. As we approached we noticed the service truck was a huge truck with an active spinning radar type dish. Were they listening to us? They were not there before but they were definitely watching us. This pretty much spooked us.
From here it was a few miles on the main road to the dirt road that leads to the front gate of area 51. Hell we made it this far why not go a little further. I always wanted to go anf now i was there. This segment of dirt road is 20 miles one way. We finally see a white truck far off in the distance. We pull over and use the binoculars...it's one of the "cammo dudes" but on a hill. We continue toward him since he;s like 10 miles away. He's on a hill to the right and the road veers down a small hill to the left. We round the corner and bam....there's the signs. Restricted, photography prohibited, use of deadly for permitted! U.S. Air Force Installation. We noticed something way out on the mt. above. I shot some long range zoom video as we crept closer...about 3/4 of a mile away...put the camera down...damn there's the "cammo dudes" now to our right above us waiting for us to move....ok that's our cue to leave. We hi-tailed it out of there at 70 mph. We were supposed to camp out there tonight but it was waaaaaaay to creepy. After all that happened in Niagara we weren't gonna push our luck.
The video will be uploaded soon!
