*Area 51 <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area_51>*, aka Groom Lake or the
Nevada Test and Training Range, is a remote detachment of Edwards Air Force
Base located in the barren desert of southern Nevada, 83 miles
north-northwest of Las Vegas. (Edwards Air Force Base itself is located
approximately 22 miles northeast of Lancaster, in the western Mojave Desert
in Southern California.)
Situated at its center, on the southern shore of Groom Lake, is a large
military airfield. The base's current primary purpose is officially
undetermined; however, based on historical evidence, it most likely
supports development and testing of experimental aircraft and weapons
systems. The intense secrecy surrounding the base has made it the frequent
subject of conspiracy theories and a central component to unidentified
flying object (UFO) folklore. Although the base has never been declared a
secret base, all research and activities in Area 51 are Top
Secret/Sensitive Compartmented
Information<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_Secret/Sensitive_Compartmented_Information>(TS/SCI).
Long the object of obsession of UFOlogists, they now finally have a break.
After years -- decades -- of denial that it even exists, our feral gummint
is finally acknowledging that Area 51 exists, but isn't saying what's
inside the mysterious military installation.
The Associated Press
reports<http://bigstory.ap.org/article/cia-acknowledges-area-51-declassified-documents>,
Aug. 15, 2013:
*The CIA is acknowledging the existence of Area 51 in newly declassified
documents. *
*George Washington University's National Security Archive obtained a CIA
history of the U-2 spy plane program through a public records request and
released it Thursday.*
*National Security Archive senior fellow Jeffrey Richelson reviewed the
history in 2002, but all mentions of Area 51 had been redacted.*
*Richelson says he requested the history again in 2005 and received a
version a few weeks ago with mentions of Area 51 restored.*
*Officials have already acknowledged in passing the existence of the
facility in central Nevada where the government is believed to test
intelligence tools and weapons.*
*Richelson believes the new document shows the CIA is becoming less
secretive about Area 51's existence, if not about what goes on there.*
Although the CIA now admits there really is an Area 51, it is still
shrouded in secrecy. I searched for "Area 51" and "Groom Lake" on Google
Map, but got only this blanked and blurred-out image (I added the red
arrows and labels).

I then searched for Ellis Air Force Base, a unit of which is the Nevada
Test and Training Range (aka Area 51), and got this Google Map image (click
