groom lake nevada directions

Just wondering what’s at the back of those big mountains seen from the veranda of our apartment. It probably kept dinging inside their shack from us walking around in front of it….ooops!Thank you. And who knows, if they take you inside, they might do some same tests on you they do on the aliens. The base is perhaps the most famous clandestine military base in the world.

We just went there last weekend and saw all the landmarks.

Get directions, maps, and traffic for Nevada. — Google Maps (@googlemaps) September 23, 2019 For those interested in taking a peek at Area 51 via Google Maps, type in Groom Lake , and a satellite view of the base will pop up. There is a rough dirt road that leads to an abandoned aircraft hanger. The state named the adjacent highway “The Extraterrestrial Highway,” with nearby towns awash with extraterrestrial key chains, T-shirts, and an alien-themed motel called While the base is said by conspiracy theorists to be the site of everything from time travel research to an underground transcontinental railroad to a secret lab where aliens work with the government to reverse-engineer alien technology, there is little evidence for any of the fanciful claims that people have made. It involves a lot of driving, just driving, through the desert and the hills and the only things to see are the occasional other cars, and some semi-domesticated bovines on the meadows. Right before the village of Rachel, NV, there’s a small dirt road going to the left (there’s a dirt road going to the right shortly before it, don’t go there—or do and let me know what’s there). Came from Vegas, and yes, the drive is boring as hell. Came from Vegas, and yes, the drive is boring as hell. If you’re planning to drive on to somewhere else, then get on the road and start driving, because ahead of you lay a huge territory of nothingness (and angry cows—be careful, they do also roam on the road).Unless you’re driving a Humvee, beware of the cows.We were heading back to California, so if you’re doing the same, stay on NV-375 until you arrive at the intersection with US Route 6. A firm believer in religious freedom.Historian. Take the right fork. As of yet, there has never been such an incident, but it’s surely a deterrent. Once on NV-318/375, be on the lookout because in about half a mile there’s another intersection where NV-375 goes left and NV-318 right. Area 51 is a highly classified United States military installation within the Nevada Test and Training Range. But thanks to its fame and the existence of private satellites, you can now buy high-resolution aerial images of the base from private Russian firms, as well as the firm IKONOS, a private company originally started under Lockheed-Martin.A new element of the bizarre, famous-yet-secret nature of the base has cropped up as Nevada has begun to realize the tourism potential of Area 51. This is an unused gate into Area 51. It isn’t manned and the Cammo duds don’t patrol this area. Remember, by going to Area 51 you’ll become a member of an elite club as undoubtedly not many people have actually been there (apart from the ones who work there, obviously—we were told that six Boeing 737s fly between Area 51 and Vegas daily, transporting the people who work at the base), so you’ve got to have something to show from your visit to your friends and, when you’re older, your kids and grandkids.Don’t fuck around when you’re at either of the gates. Tony LeVier, the pilot assigned by Johnson to find a suitable location, found several remote spots, but chose Groom Lake because of the mountainous perimeter it furnished a dry lake bed that would provide the ultimate runway.

Ive seen a video of some guys spend the night there and I told myself I need to do thatIs $200.00 the tour from las vegas,but don’t give guaranty that you will see alien. If they happen to come out, do not photograph them—unless you seriously want to see Area 51 from the inside, but only a small portion of it called a jail cell. Part of the Area 51 USAF installation, it lies at an elevation of 4,409 ft (1,344 m) and is approximately 3.7 miles (6.0 km) from north to south and 3 miles (4.8 km) from east to west at its widest point, and is approximately 11.3 miles in circumference.
