Edgar Mitchell, the last American to walk on the moon, said in ‘09...Roswell happened...a saucer crashed, bodies and a broken machine from another planetary sysem WERE recovered.

He claims to have been briefed on it...he wasn’t granted details because of “need to know”.

I don’t know...but I think there’s something out there besides us.

Around 97 several former employees sued the U.S. Government for illnesses caused from working at area 51 and Groom Lake. The story was on the front page of the feral Times. So much for secrecy.

"...an abandoned nuclear testing ground..."

Abandonded????? Ummm. I don't think so. NTS may not be actively testing live weapons, but it's hardly "abandonded".

While these things were going on in the open air, an elderly gentleman of scientific attainments was seated in his library, two or three houses off, writing a philosophical treatise, and ever and anon moistening his clay and his labours with a glass of claret from a venerable-looking bottle which stood by his side. In the agonies of composition, the elderly gentleman looked sometimes at the carpet, sometimes at the ceiling, and sometimes at the wall; and when neither carpet, ceiling, nor wall afforded the requisite degree of inspiration, he looked out of the window.

In one of these pauses of invention, the scientific gentleman was gazing abstractedly on the thick darkness outside, when he was very much surprised by observing a most brilliant light glide through the air, at a short distance above the ground, and almost instantaneously vanish. After a short time the phenomenon was repeated, not once or twice, but several times; at last the scientific gentleman, laying down his pen, began to consider to what natural causes these appearances were to be assigned.

They were not meteors; they were too low. They were not glow-worms; they were too high. They were not will-o’-the- wisps; they were not fireflies; they were not fireworks. What could they be? Some extraordinary and wonderful phenomenon of nature, which no philosopher had ever seen before; something which it had been reserved for him alone to discover, and which he should immortalise his name by chronicling for the benefit of posterity. Full of this idea, the scientific gentleman seized his pen again, and committed to paper sundry notes of these unparalleled appearances, with the date, day, hour, minute, and precise second at which they were visible: all of which were to form the data of a voluminous treatise of great research and deep learning, which should astonish all the atmospherical wiseacres that ever drew breath in any part of the civilised globe.

He threw himself back in his easy-chair, wrapped in contemplations of his future greatness. The mysterious light appeared more brilliantly than before, dancing, to all appearance, up and down the lane, crossing from side to side, and moving in an orbit as eccentric as comets themselves.

The scientific gentleman was a bachelor. He had no wife to call in and astonish, so he rang the bell for his servant.

‘Pruffle,’ said the scientific gentleman, ‘there is something very extraordinary in the air to-night? Did you see that?’ said the scientific gentleman, pointing out of the window, as the light again became visible.

‘Yes, I did, Sir.’

‘What do you think of it, Pruffle?’

‘Think of it, Sir?’

‘Yes. You have been bred up in this country. What should you say was the cause for those lights, now?’

The scientific gentleman smilingly anticipated Pruffle’s reply that he could assign no cause for them at all. Pruffle meditated.

‘I should say it was thieves, Sir,’ said Pruffle at length.

‘You’re a fool, and may go downstairs,’ said the scientific gentleman.

‘Thank you, Sir,’ said Pruffle. And down he went.

Does anyone know the approximate perimeter of the prohibited area around this location? Could it be around 40 miles? (10 X 10 X 10 X 10) I would be curious to see how much it costs to secure that many miles of land with the effectiveness that they can. One could then extrapolate those numbers out to compare with the length of our southern border. You could then come up with an amount that it would take to completely shut down the border.

I lived in Nevada 1975-1977 and remember there were a lot of UFO sightings; even though I lived between Carson City and Reno- nowhere near Area 51. One night we were driving over Donner Pass and of course everyone had a CB radio then- the truckers were going crazy about a UFO. We came over the top and started down the other side- tons of trucks and other vehicles were pulled to the side of the road and people lined the highway. We did not see anything, but many claimed they did and it was in the newspaper the next day. I have often thought the UFO sightings or many of them are government testing. Who knows?
