about 8 years ago I was working for a company that made an electrical control panel for an "undisclosed airbase in Nevada".  the engineer that went to set the system up was telling us how he had to wear a helmet on his head to prevent him from "seeing" anything, it had a mirror set up so that it would only allow him to watch the ground.  there was a line that he had to follow that would direct him as he walked, he was escorted also.  wouldn't it have been cool to have been able to see what kinda stuff they were working on?

Area-51
Here's an interesting idea about Area 51. I'm always amazed at the guys who try to sneak into that area. You could't march me out there at gun point. There is no telling what is buried out there. And I'm not talking about alien bodies.
The thing about the work done at that location is that is was/is classified. We didn't want the bad guy knowing what we were developing there, so there were a lot of security protocols in place, including that trash from that location was not allowed to leave. This a necessary precaution. The bad guys would have been able to figure out a lot about the work done there from what went into the garbage.  They basically just had to dig a hole and bury everything on site.
Now the thing about secretly burying everything on site is that there is no oversight from pesky environmental agencies. Got a little plutonium you need to get rid of? Just toss it into the basket there by your desk. It'll be buried in a land fill by morning.
Now, say you're running Area 51, and say you've got a good friend whom you attended West Point with who's commandant of a base a few states over. Now say said good friend has some toxic waste he needs to get rid of, but it'll cost an arm and a leg to dispose of it through regular, regulated channels. A couple of duce-and-a-halfs with some unlabeled barrels in the back show up at Area 51 from good friend's base, and problem solved.
My guess is that those little green men reported to have been see were jack rabbits that ate the wrong tuft of grass, growing over one of those fills.
Like I said, you wouldn't need a gun to keep me out. You'd have a hard time marching me in there at gun point.

Been there many times.  No fences, just signs and "Cammo Dudes". 

Nice little restaurant Aleinn just down the road in Rachel, NV.  The cool stuff has transferred so the "Deadly Force Authorized" signs are removed.  Spooky at night.  If you get to Las Vegas watch the Janet flights leaving with the base workers.

LOL !  I'm not about to disagree, especially about the jack rabbits.

Everyone still comes and goes in those big unmarked white airplanes don't they ?

White with Red stripe.  Just watched them Thursday AM.  They also have a bus (or bus's) that fly down the dirt road.  Passed me once on a blind curve at 60+.  I was sliding, don't know how they did it without sliding but they did.
