Area 51 is All About Stealth Fighters, Not Aliens
National Interest ^ | 1/15/2021 | Sebastian Roblin

Posted on 01/15/2021 1:06:31 PM PST by Onthebrink

Here's What You Need To Remember: Though the Pentagon admitted to the existence of a stealth jet in 1983, the secrecy surrounding the F-117 was so effective that the public never had any inkling of the Nighthawk’s true appearance, nor even its designation (widely believed to be the “F-19”) until was finally unveiled in 1988.

And from whom did we obtain the stealth technology? I’m not saying it was aliens ...

Everybody knows area 51 is a deflection from area 52

my question is, if the stealth fighter jets are so stealthy, how can the pilots even find them to fly them?

Citizens must learn—the government _never_ lies.

Ever.

Anyone who claims otherwise is an insane conspiracy theorist.

(yawn)

One member of the flight or ground crew must be tied to the plane at all times.

It stinks to the the airman who has to sit on the taxiway with a rope around his wrist for a long weekend.

Which means Area 53 is where the real action is.

Low radar observability work began under the CIA’s Project Rainbow in 1957 when we tried to reduce the radar cross-section of the U-2 spy plane. It was Kelly Johnson’s Skunk Works team working with some outside help. Efforts to reduce the RCS of the U-2 were unsuccessful, but additional work was done on the A-12 which eventually became the SR-71.

The shapes used for the body of the SR-71 and the special fuel additives of the planes reduced their RCS, but the radar tracking technology paced too quickly for it to be really effective in hiding the aircraft.

We spent decades working on low observability and that progress has been incremental. At times, radar technology advanced faster than “stealth” technology. At this point, something like the F-22 is pretty damn difficult to see on radar unless you’re directly behind it or you have specialized low frequency ground stations.

Well, as long as someone says it; it must be true. 《/SARCASM》

watch the blake’s 7 episode Pressure Point

Blake tries to strike a fatal blow to the Federation, but

The whole area has been devised as a trap by the Federation to lure its opponents into thinking that they could destroy it. But as Travis explains to a devastated Blake, the real location of Control was moved 30 years ago to a domain so secret that even Travis doesn’t know where it is.

I was kinda disappointed that more people didn’t show up for the big Area 51 event last summer. I didn’t want anyone to be foolish enough to try and get in, but it would have been nice to see a huge crowd confronting the camo dudes and then going to the music concert afterwards.

Several years ago one of the F117 contractors purported to have a display of the F117 at a trade-show. The display consisted of nothing more than a boarding ladder used by a pilot to board the aircraft and a sign that said “Stealth Fighter”.

Area 53 is the real deal. Nobody has caught on to that one yet. But I spent a whole week there recently and didn’t see a thing. Which means that stealth technology has finally been perfected.

the special fuel additives of the planes reduced their RCS

Chloroflurosulfonic acid suppressed the formation of contrails, more a visual 'cross section' reduction than an RCS reduction.

Considering our current state of affairs, I for one would welcome some new alien “overlords”. I’d like to think they’d be benevolent, and far more intelligent than our current crop of ass clowns. With that said, I hope they have influence in D.C, and will force them to do away with the money pit, “flying brick” that is the F-35, and fully fund the magnificent, tried, and true A-10!

This may not be the place/thread for this question...but can anyone tell me what’s happened with FReeper sukhoi-30mki (apologies for my lack of HTML skills to link to his profile)?
I always enjoyed the hell out of his military themed threads, and he hasn’t been active since 7/10/2019. :(
