*yawn* Go to the USGS website and you'll find tons of pictures like that. If you're good enough, you can most likely find and zoom in on your own house.

Few if any have doubted it exists in recent years. The real questions for a long time have simply been what's kept there?
Places like Area 51 are far less exciting then you imagine them to be. I served on two aircraft and weapons development, test and evaluation stations. There's a lot of stuff and places you can't go without high security clearances and a need to be there. I had the clearances, but usually not the need. I did work on a few highly sensative projects. Nothing like space ships, or flying saucers. Things like the Superhornet operational evaluation.
I worked with the first 8 superhornets the Navy accepted and tested. We aboslutely destroyed those things with high G maneuvers and all sorts of stuff like that simply to see what they were capable of. Imagine buying and destroying a few Ferraris just to find out if you liked them or not.
F-117s were on the base also, but the hangar was in an area that only a few individuals had access to. Unfortunately, I was not one of them.
I got to participate in the development and tactical development of the JDAM, SLAM, HARM, as well as other weapons and weapon systems. Outside of that, secret bases like Area 51 are extremely boring to serve at except for the occasional brief moment where you get to see something neat come from your work, like pictures from the bombing range. Other then that, it's boring as fuck. Guys went to captain's mast and courts martial constantly because there wasn't anything else to do except get drunk and get into trouble.

The rhino puts on one hell of a demonstration .. can't wait to see the raptor doing airshows .. its probably 5 years away.
Sorry but it doesn't suit you. MAke a little peak at the top and it'll look much better and help keep the waves out. Having it flat just looks daft and lets the really bad waves through. If I can find a camera I'll take a pic of mine to show you how it's done.

It's just a military base where engineers work on new weapons, testing that would be illegal outsite its boundaries, and whatnot. The CIA is a front, but the real action goes on there.
