Area 51 Google Map pics?

[jwinslow]

Can we spy on Area 51 via google's satellite images?

This guy thinks so

Use this location in Google's system to look around

1) Go straight up from the above location to see some weird green "circles"
2) Go left from the location to see some weird blast crater stuff

Picture for #1

Who knows what this area is.

But its pretty neat to check it out and wonder what went on there.

The landscape is really fascinating anyway, with these weird dried up lakes, small sections of green surrounded by desert and mountains...

Overall just look around in the above location, its really neat.

Damn. Our national security that weak?

I can see Osama bin Laden using Google on a Dell in a cave to plan his next attack.

That's pretty sweet. I can see the rooftops of houses less than a half mile away from mine. I can see my street but can't zoom in enough to see my house.

Microsofts Terraserver has much better pics of the base.

Area 51 is rather boring to look at, but there's a cool artillery range to the SW.

Google Sightseeing is a great site dedicated to finding cool stuff with Google Maps, like Niagara Falls. Be sure to go through their history; some of the best stuff was posted a few weeks ago.

what are you all talking about? There is nothing to be seen there. NOTHING!

How much is the Government paying you?

I thought those circles were just agricultural land. I've seen that before all over the desert...easiest way to water an area of land is if its round, I guess...

Or they could be nuclear missile silos...whatever.

Those blast craters are massive, I wouldn't be surprised if thats where they did above-ground nuclear weapons testing in the 50's and 60's.

Those are likely legit pictures of a51. I've been in that area (when I was stationed at Nellis AFB in Las Vegas), there is a bombing range near there. We took a trip to the Al'e'Inn--what a little craphole. There are so many dirt roads you could take for hundreds of miles and never find anything. We did take a dirt road that led to a mound with a black SUV and two armed guards. Probably nothing fishy--just a border to the bombing range.

Those green circles are irrigated areas. Eastern Colorado is covered with them. Out here, they irrigate with 'pivots', which rotate around a central point, usually where a water well is.

See? The truth *is* out there!

It's called circle irrigation, real common in the west and southwest.

Those green circles aren't irrigated areas but rather dots to cover up the buildings in the photos since it's a secret base.

You may have thought you have found the PCP hide out, but you only THINK you have.
