the giant white thing is Groom Lake. It is a dried out lake. That really long straight line is the longest runway in the world, almost 4 miles long. Commerical runways are on the order of 1.5-2 miles. There is no way the government is going to let this stuff stay on much longer. Very cool though. |

they won't care if this is up. there are plenty of satellite photographs for it. I think saw that you can rent a satellit to fly over and take a picture, but only every three days. most ive seen put the runway at about 6 miles |

guys, getting a satellite photo is the easiest thing. there are tons of commercial companies that own their own satelite and will take a photo of any coordinates given to them for money. there's nothing illeagal about and surely there is nothing the US government, or any other government for that matter, can do about it. BTW, just a few years ago the NY Times ordered satelite photos of some sites in Iran that were suspected to be sites of nuclear weapons development. the Iranian governemt had some explaining to do in the UN... so this is not a new topic.... |

It's true that getting the satellite image is the easy part. However, the times and dates of commercial satellite passes are known by the government, so it is trivial for them to ensure that nothing "interesting" is visible when people might be taking pictures. |

Area 51 is nothing anymore. If I remember correctly, they had finally admitted it was there. I vaugely remember the president signing some order exempting it from all enviromental and pollution requirements or something like that. Dulce, New Mexico, now thats the creepy place. Some wierd stuff is supposed to happen there. Search for it. |
