I've taken my collection of aerial photos of Area 51 and made a video (enjoy):

What was the point of that stupidity?

Why is it stupid? They are pictures of Area 51 from Google Earth. 'Nuff said.

Looks like the top-secret Area 51 I always imagined. Good job in discovering it. It's the real Area 51.

[not sure if you are serious or not]

I'm not. Of course.

Why does Area 51 have to have aliens and space ships?

Who said anything about that?
-
1. It is not legal to take pictures of government instalations.
2.It is very very illegal to take pictures of designated black project areas.
3.If that was area 51 I can garentee that it wouldve been taken out of the internet by now

Why does it need to be special or ultra-top-secret? Why can't it just be an aircraft testing zone like the pictures show?

So you're saying that this place is actually called "Area 51"? The name on the signs and on the buildings confirms this? Or are you saying, "Hey, I found Area 51! Or at least I found something that I want to call 'Area 51'! It's really just something that I found that I have no idea about."?

Possibly. Look it up on Google Earth or Google Maps (they blur out airports in New York).
And Area 51 is acknowledged by the US government.

These are pictures taken from Google Earth. I looked up "Area 51" using the search function.

as a designated black project sit... didju not understand my post or something?
and I'm pretty sure there is another similar site near where I live, (large signs saying stay out gov't property and such) that is not on google earth.

Oh. In that case, cool. Now we know what it looks like. See if you can type "Bigfoot's home" and come up with a location.
-

Black projects are not acknowledged by US government or military... the US government once denied the existence of Area 51, but now they acknowledge it exists. It's not a black project site anymore, but it's still top-secret.
-
they acknowledge its existence and that many prior black projects were done there, and it is still considered topsecret, sounds about as close as youre gonna get
-
they acknowledge its existence
By definition not a black project then. ^_^
-
No, not so much, things happen to change that.
-
Yeah, Ubuntu is right. Black means no government acknowledment. Back in 'Nam, when the SOG would go over the line into Laos and Cambodia, that was so black that if they got caught the government wouldn't lift a finger to help them.

i was expecting something to jump out at me near the end and it to be really loud, but nothing happened. boring.

You're the second person who's said that.
-
Haha wow, me too, especially with the The End? part
oh and I didn't know that was the definition, I thought of it a different way.
-
it's probally fake, and altered to appear so for the government,
-
There is a world beyond the US borders you know (Apparently it's flat!!) Ever think that the Groom Lake photos might have been taken by a Russian/British/Chinese/Togolese satelite?
And I'm not sure about where the Google earth photos come from, so if they are US military or something, don't slate me for it, this is just a suggestion of how a black project site came to be photographed!
-
Here's the basic story:
Google paid a satelite company to take photos of the entire world for their new project "Google Maps".
The new images included pictures of the area around Groom Lake, which is the supposed site of Area 51. These images were very close up, and showed landing strips, buildings, etc, on land which the government claimed was not used.
Google uploaded these images, and thousands of people began taking screenshots of the area.
Unfortunately taking photos of any area around Groom Lake is illegal, and so Google were told to take the images off, replacing them with very blurry pictures instead.
Unluckily for the government, they couldn't stop all the people who had taken screenshots from distrubuting them.

Interesting. I thought it was likely the images were fakes but this is also a feasible explanation... oh wait... the images are still readily available from Google Earth. =\
-
That is not very viable story at all. Are you saying Area 51 is supposed to be a secret place, but that it is near Groom Lake? What's the secret there? If you know it, it's not a secret. And if you know it, that means other people know it. If other people know it, surely other countries know it. So the photos would've been taken by some other country's satellites a long time ago. Doesn't make a lot of sense.

Yeah, I'm sure the US Goverment doesn't mind satellite phot's being distributed of it's Secret Facilities (if not secret location then secret contents). I feel it's more than likely that this is not a photo of what you think it is.
-
If REAL photos of area 51 were posted on the internet i doubt the goverment would let them stay,and if it were found on something google related.it would be put down
-
That would be the place in the woods with the really big foot prints. Right?
-
Erm, did anybody think to look up Area 51 on Wikipedia? I haven't looked at Ubuntu's thing, but the Google Earth image of Area 51 and this Wikipedia image (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Area_51_28_August_1968_6.jpg) from the Federation of American Scientists of Area 51 look pretty similar to me. It's from 1968; the caption notes that more runways have since been added.
-

This seems like the most likely theory to me.
Speaking of, I logged into Google Earth myself, and found the same things on the map, in more or less crystal clarity. (as good as us civvies can get anyway). The things you circled as fighter jets just looked like passenger planes to me, but it does look like there are a few fighters a little bit north from those, though.

How could you government prevent that? If the American government had that sort of global power, why wouldn't they exercise it against child porn and other web enemies?

Ubuntu, Child porn is not internationally illegal, In fact, its legal where you live... isn't it?

Why would child porn be legal and lolicon hentai be illegal?

Google earth confirms my personal observation. From Tikapu peak one can see across grommlake to the base there . It is supposed to be Area 51; where cutting-edge flight tech is tested (or reverse engineered et al). So; everyone knows it's there and the govt. admits to it now. I do recall that several years ago(when it was still "Base? What base?) a sibsection of the annual military buget requests was a little item earmarking $6,000,000.oo to relocate some of the ops from that "secret" site. My pet theory is this; the li'l aliens is only there to produce substandard clones of Elvis, most of what is there are styrofoam and urethane 'props' and the Military Elite squandered the money in Vegas on golf, gambling, hookers and blow; not necessarily in that order.
