Area "52" (That's what we called it.)

After all these years...........

Finally! Now I can finish my memoir..............

(Screw the NDA, you gents do realize the first one of us to write about the alien weapons/communications training we received is going to be a multi-millionaire.)








COVER UP? Google Earth blind spot over experimental military base may be where US government hides crashed UFOs, defence insider claims

Google Earth did not update the images of the Tonopah Test Range in Nevada for eight years and will not explain why

THE Google Earth blind spot over an experimental military base in Nevada may have been used to cover up a "super secret location" where the US government kept crashed UFOs, a defence insider has claimed.

Google Earth did not update its images of the dry lake beds of the Tonopah Test Range - just a few miles from the infamous Area 51 - for eight years - and has not explained why.

Now former MoD man Nick Pope - also known as the real-life Fox Mulder - has branded the situation "murky" and suggested it could have been part of a "gentleman's agreement" between Google and the US government.

While other military ranges have been consistently mapped, the Tonopah Test Range was not photographed between 2008 and 2016.

This is the longest any part of the continental US has not been updated, according to a Motherboard report.

Usually updates happen every 60 days, according to a Google Earth blog.

Since the early 1950s, the range has reportedly been used for government aerospace and weapons testing.
Nick Pope is a renowned UFO expert who describes the situation as "murky"
ope, who used to run the MoD's UFO project, told Sun Online: "This is all quite murky. Either as a consequence of federal law, or through a 'gentleman's agreement', Google and/or the third party providers from whom they obtain satellite imagery have ensured that the public won't see up-to-date images of the Tonopah Test Range.

"Because of its proximity to the infamous Area 51, this has understandably started all sorts of conspiracy theories in the UFO community.

"Could this super-secret location be where the US government hides crashed UFOs? Or is it where the next generation of stealth aircraft, drones and hypersonic weapons are developed and tested?

"Either way the US government is hugely concerned - and understandably so.

60 days? Not.

Google hasn’t updated my street map in about 3 years. I’ve been in my house for about a year and it still shows a wooded lot at my address. I wonder what they are covering up in my neighborhood.

The slip where I kept my sailboat still shows it riding high in the water. Too bad I sold it five years ago ... maybe the guy that bought it brought it back and wants me to take it back .....

A quick check on Google satellite view shows our property from 6-7 years ago.

8+ years for us. The Google street view of our old house is either 8 or 9 years old. We moved out in 2011.


Day time photographs of Tonopaugh Test Range won't show much any way. All the interesting stuff happens at night.

More interesting is the update to Groom Lake that shows the big new hanger that may be for the b-21 Raider......maybe....

I trained at the Nevada Test Site for two weeks. We saw some strange things while there, but nothing linked to UFOs or aliens. The one that stands out in my mind is how all of the employees who would arrive during the day, would "disappear" throughout the day and the place was a ghost town. Then, come 4 pm or 5 pm, those people would reappear and be on their way out. Besides that, what stands out is just how beautiful the Nevada desert can be. I loved riding up to the high ground in our ATVs with the guys just before the sun came down. Watching the sun come down from the highest peak was quite a sight.
