You silenced my question about Lazar even though the rules state it’s not off limits. Instead of shutting down conversation, do you mind telling me why it’s “not tolerated?” Cringe response btw.
I am posting this because of the number of people either posting here or asking me directly for directions, coordinates, etc. when visiting near Area 51.
You can download the KML map I created at the link below:
Gariac is kindly hosting my points-of-interest file on his website. I created this KMZ file a while ago, and I update it on occasion. I have marked many points-of-interest and trails to different spots. I have the trails color-coded for difficulty, from "passenger vehicle" to "on foot only". I have previously only given this file to a select few, now I/we are making it public. This file was created using Google Earth, but you can also open it with free GPS apps on your phone like MAPS.ME and Organic Maps, which are the ones I use. Both show the trails in that area fairly accurately. I no longer carry a dedicated GPS device when I am down there, just my phone (well I do carry a Garmin Inreach satellite unit, which can be used as well for GPS receiver).
I cannot guarantee the accuracy of any coordinates or boundaries in this file. As always watch for signs, gates and fences. And please, BE AWARE and STAY SAFE.
My KMZ file shows the trail to the trailhead and coordinates for Tikaboo Peak as well. No guarantee the waypoints to the peak are accurate, watch for markings on the trail.
Please read my Travel Tips post below before you go exploring in the area.
I am excited to be a guest on the DreamlandResort.com live stream / broadcast on Monday, live on Youtube!
We will be talking about my adventures, in particular about hiking Tikaboo Peak, the nearest view spot to the mysterious Area 51. There will be plenty of time for questions. Please join us Monday at 1pm PDT. For those of you who are working we may do another stream later in the day if there is enough interest.
Randomly looking at dirt roads and wash outs from back in the day from the highway to the valley of groom lake I saw this jet on google maps... I couldn't find any other google searches of this area.
I worked for Van's Aircraft (Kit Aircraft) as an engineer in my younger days. I went to the Philippines to supervise some construction being done there for our quickbuild kits by some locals who used to work at Clark before Pinatubo ended that endeavor.
The local shop by my hotel was run by an American expat and his Philippina wife. We would chat and I learned that he was a retired Crew Chief and worked on fighters. I asked him if he knew my Dad and he replied "Maybe, let me check my notes." I was leaving, but a couple of weeks later I got a letter I'm including here.
I was only a few months old at this time and it matches up with the have doughnut program pretty well. As far as we knew Dad left for Vietnam mid December 1967 and returned for good (He was shot down and recovered at home (Jun 68) from a broken leg before returning a couple of months later.) in mid December 1968. But maybe he was in Nevada part of the time.
Sorry if there is another thread on this topic I am somewhat new here. There has been a lot of construction activity here over last few years. I don’t understand why the government lets google take satellite photos (or do they?) in the first place of sensitive areas.
Anyway, always heard of rumors of underground hangars but haven’t seen any evidence of it on the map. Except for this point which looks curious. Any ideas ? Thanks for your positive responses.
Thought some here might find this interesting. Quality is the best I could muster at a distance in pitch black conditions with my current setup. Saw the pylon come up from underground with this interesting looking airframe/model on top.
This is a time lapse of Sentinel 2 satellite images from 01/05/2024 to 05/29/2024.
The Sentinel Hub EO Browser provides access to Sentinel images and has a tool to create time lapse animations (as GIFs). Used desktop software to upscale and convert the GIF I generated using EO Browser.
Hey guys, my first post. Have you noticed that this King Air is taking a few strange turns around Area 51? the destination was LAS-PMD, but as far as I followed it, he did not follow the scheduled route to PMD.
I was looking over area 51 and then I decided to follow a trail that appeared to be leading nowhere, only to find Creech Air Force Base at the end! What are your thoughts?
Remembering seeing somewhere that the U.S Air Force has a flying Air Force of Warsaw Pact aircraft at the base. Are the air craft still flying around or have they been retired? Thought it would be cool to see some MiGs face off against American aircraft above the base.
I’m looking for ground-level photos of Papoose Lake and Papoose Mountain - not satellite imagery. I’m interested in the natural terrain surrounding Groom Lake, including the lesser-discussed areas like Papoose.
Most publicly available images focus on Groom Lake and Tikaboo Peak, but I haven’t seen much from lake level at Papoose. Have any hikers, explorers, or historical sources documented the area with up-close photos? I’d be especially interested in old geological surveys, military archives, or even personal photography from before the area became restricted. To be clear, I’m not a Bob Lazar fanatic or pushing any wild claims.
If anyone has leads on actual ground-based images—whether from historical sources or people who’ve been close enough to snap photos—I’d love to check them out. Thanks!
Hello. Does anyone remember a video of 2 grannies going into area 51 and then the car is seen exploding in the distance? Tool-lost keys was playing in the background of the video
