Nadril Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 OK! if the world population is/was around 6,000,000,000 then am I one of the 0.1% in the world? Probably very unique?? So you are saying you are actualy 600,000 people? make sense next time please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harrington Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Here's the actual site from a satelite image. Pulled it from Google Earth. Using the scale, the runway is about 6-8 miles long. Most commercial runways are only 2 miles long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedofsound Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Im a history fanatic. Because of that i frequent the history channel when i am watching TV. I'v seen a few of these Area-51 documenteries in my day. I think i know enough about it to joing this discussion. Lets break this up into factoids... Area 51 is... - Top Secret - Developing secret technology - housing secret planes and devices - Highly Guarded - Restricted Airspace Area 51 isn't - A landing ground for commercial airplanes - Denied exsistance, at least anymore. How bout' some more facts? The extraterrestial highway has it's name because the people flocking there claim to have seen aliens have affectionatley had the name changed to that. There are helicopter, tanks, jeeps, and loads of other things surrounding and in Area 51 guarding the place. Whats funny is Fort Knox is more heavily guarded and that is only gold. Loads of secret airplanes have been developed there. In my opinion this is all about the cold war. The cold war really kicked this thing off. Are enemy technology wise are the Russians. We want to gain the Russian's technology and hide ours from them. That is what is all about. About Aliens... I want say yay, or nay on this subject. I will provide a argument for boths sides though. The argument against was pretty much talked about above, so no need to restate. I will however give a argument for aliens. There could be aliens there, the hangers could house UFOs. There have been enough stories for a person to say there are aliens out there. Plenty of people have claimed to have formerley worked at Area 51 and say there is reverse engineering going on there. Specifically the Roswell Crash incident has been cited many times. Now I do believe that there are secret planes being developed there. All the stuff we know for sure could be above ground. What others are specualtion, aliens and such could all be below. In a underground base. And as somone else said, those mines could also be underground bases. Now, I will be monitering this topic as it is of great interest to me. If you have any questions feel free to ask. I look forward to discussing this further and seeing other peoples views. You can't ever find a place that's nice and peaceful, because there isn't any. You may think there is, but once you get there, when you're not looking, somebody'll sneak up and write "(bleep) you" right under your nose. Try it sometime. I think, even, if I ever die, and they stick me in a cemetery, and I have a tombstone and all, it'll say "Holden Caulfield" on it, and then what year I was born and what year I died, and then right under that it'll say "(bleep) you."

ktmcf121 Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 im going to go out on a limb here and say that 90% of "UFO" sightings are simply test aircraft that got a bit too far out of the testing range, or someone happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. you would honestly be surprised at the technology available to humans. the "laws of physics?" pssh. just because an aircraft defies the laws of physics that you are aware of, doesnt mean that there arent other laws that you have no idea even existed? unless you have a phd in physics, you can't really use that argument. and even then, some of my physics professors have problems explaining why an experiment doesnt work they way it should. "shapes that humans can't make?" that's pretty much limited to spherical cubes. with CNC and Rapid Prototyping machines, we can make damn near any shape you can think up. there are several rapid prototype technologies that are even certified for flight. i'm on the formula sae team at my school, and one of our alumni works at Boeing on the "phantom works" project, making one-off parts for Boeing aircraft, and the Renault F-1 team. I won't outright deny the existence of extraterrestrial life, seeing as how we've barely even explored our own galaxy, much less the millions of other galaxies out there. however, i will say that i believe it's highly unlikely that any other life forms have made contact with our planet.

Anyways, for u ppl I edited the text so that we can move on to the topic. :roll: And now some of u r gonna go like, where did that 0.1% came from? Well if u look at the first post regarding this problem, u will see that someone before said that 99.9% of the world population will do the same thing. Now, If I dont fit in that 99.9% then obviously I fit in the left over 0.1%! Right?? ????ClAn????wHaT iS iT??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trapical Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 I actually have a friend in the air force. I remember he mentioned it to me once, he is a flight mechanic and was looking at all the different bases you can be stationed at, he was in his chief's office and he flipping through a base register table, something like 800 operational air force bases each with their name and then a sentance about it (location, operation type, division, etc) It was alphabetical and out of curiosity he asked about area 51. His chief lauphed and flipped to the page with the listing and then handed it over to him. It said something like "flight testing and heavy trails of developmental weapons" It went on to give some codes that said you need so and so many years of experience in your field, and you have to have been in the armed forces for more then 15 years due to the classified nature of the projects. You know, Aurora Bombers, SCRAM jets, final testing of the F-35s. Fun stuff. I doubt any aliens though : ( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

assassin_696 Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 This is very amusing. Has it not occurred to anybody that it might be very convenient for the goverment to spread rumours and myths surrounding top secret aircraft that have been spotted being tested? Quite clearly, Area 51 is a base where they test very advanced military technologies, particularly aircraft. Therefore, whenever somebody sees a futuristic looking aircraft-prototype flying around somebody shouts "UFO!" and suddenly any possible military type speculation subsides and everyone talks about UFO's. It's so top secret because again, the technologies they test there are advanced, they wouldn't want their secret getting out. I also doubt that they shoot random "drunks" who accidentaly stray into the territory without some kind of reason. Again, it could be more myths that are spread to steer people away. Another point, people have talked about the laws of physics as if the government scientists have secretly cracked some kind of physics code for unlimited energy and super-fast travel, and aren't telling anyone. People say "oh well, 100 years ago someone said flight would be impossible and look at us now". That's fine, but we know so much more than we did 100 years ago. I'm no PhD physicist, but I know enough to know that there are only really two or three totally grey areas in physics right now. Quantum gravity, string theory (becoming clearer) and dark matter. Possibly super-conductivity as well. The first two are linked anyway. The simple fact is there are hundreds of theoretical physicists and experimental physicists (not employed by the government) all over the world working on physics. They have formulated so many laws and rules that have stood up to every test thrown at them. Even I can see the proof for them. It's not like there's a branch of government scientists keeping all these amazing physics secrets to themselves which nobody else has been able to think of. Sheesh.
