Far out in the Nevada desert, miles from prying eyes, is a secret Air Force facility that has been known by numerous names over the years. It has been called Paradise Ranch, Watertown Strip, Area 51, Dreamland, and Groom Lake. Groom is probably the most mythologized real location that few people have ever seen. According to people with overactive imaginations, it is where the United States government keeps dead aliens, clones them, and reverse-engineers their spacecraft. It is also where NASA filmed the faked Moon landings.
However, for humans whose feet rest on solid ground, Groom is the site of highly secret aircraft development. It is where the U-2 spyplane, the Mach 3 Blackbird, and the F-117 stealth fighter were all developed. It has also probably hosted its own fleet of captured, stolen, or clandestinely acquired Soviet and Russian aircraft. Because of this, the United States government has gone to extraordinary lengths to preserve the area’s secrecy and to prevent people from seeing it.
This secrecy was threatened in early 1974 when the astronauts on Skylab pointed their camera out the window and took pictures of a facility that did not officially exist. They returned to Earth and their photographs quickly became a headache for NASA, the CIA, and the Department of Defense. That story has never been told before.

Surely the stories from Richard Hoagland and Goerge Nori are true???
The day I believe Richard Hoagland is when I french kiss Helen Thomas..
Whoops!
If you've ever been out in that area, you know how creepy the moonscape is and how easy it is to imagine aliens. LOL!
ET phone home?
Wave at your radio and TV -- the NSA will be watching you forever ;)
Groom Lake is one of the remote airstrips for testing of new designs of military aircraft. Of course what goes on there is secret, even now, but everybody around there has known of its existence all along, and many have had jobs there.
Mister, you are this close (holding my thumb and forefinger very closely together!) to being reported for abuse!
The visual concept of someone french-kissing Helen Thomas is too evil to comprehend and is worthy of being reported for abuse.
Will you apologize?!
Not by chopper. The flew them by plane. My brother was one of them.
History Channel has this on, right now....8:45 est
For instance, the existence of the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO), which manages America’s spy satellite program, first became known in a 1971 New York Times article
The Old Grey Whore at work.
Yeah but it doesnt show the massive network of facilities underneath the surface, and our alien overlords.
LOL!!!
I thought it was by chopper...but that was a while back.
area 51 run, hide, they are after us.
Heck that's nothing.
One of the later moon landings "lost" all the stills and movie film from their side trip to a crater which had previously been the location of unexplained lights.
LOL!
Please DO NOT post that picture if it comes to pass!!!!
