Robert Scott Lazar (January 26, 1959), or Bob Lazar, worked from 1988 until 1989 as a physicist at an area called S-4 (Sector Four), located near Groom Lake, Nevada, situated next to Area 51. According to Lazar, S-4 was a hidden military location for the study of extraterrestrial vehicles. (more…)
It is this section of the Internal Security Act that allows Area 51 border security, known as the cammo dudes, to keep you out of Groom Lake–and use deadly force if necessary.

This section of the Espionage & Censorship Act was created to protect military installations. The idea here is that if a foreign power, or anyone bent on attacking a military operation, was going to plan an assault, any reconnaissance–especially in the form of photography or even a drawing–would be helpful in that attack.

EG&G (Edgerton, Germeshausen, and Grier, Inc.) is the leading provider of management and technical services to the U.S. government. They also own a security company called Wackenhut, who hires and manages the Area 51 border guards–commonly referred to as the Cammo Dudes.
EG&G also owns and operates a private air terminal at McCarren International Airport in Las Vegas, where as many as six Boeing 737s fly employees into Area 51 each day.
EG&G is not only the most favorite military contractor of the US government, but it is also the oldest–making them almost an arm of the US military; however, unlike a government organization, even a black projects organization, EG&G is a private company who doesn’t have to answer to silly organizations like Congress and oversight committees.
History
In 1931 MIT professor Harold Edgerton (a pioneer of high speed photography) partnered with his graduate student Kenneth Germeshausen as a small technical consulting firm. The two were joined by fellow MIT graduate student Herbert Grier in 1934. The group’s high-speed photography was used to image implosion tests during the Manhattan Project. The same skills in precisely timed high power pulses of electricity also formed a key enabling technology for nuclear weapon triggers. After the war the group continued their association with the burgeoning military nuclear effort, and formally incorporated Edgerton, Germeshausen, and Grier, Inc. in 1947.
Today

While there is no way to know for sure how many employees it takes to run the world’s most top-secret military base, observers have estimated that over a 1,000 people make a daily commute to the base. (more…)
If you get busted trying to sneak into Area 51, or even if you accidentally cross the border, than Area 51 security (known as the cammo dudes) will call the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Department to arrest you and haul you away. (more…)
If there’s one thing you need to know about the border, it’s that you don’t want to cross the border. And as it turns out, this is sometimes harder than it should be.

If you are looking for great places to see the base itself or someplace to watch for phenomenon in the skies, these vantage points should do the trick. (more…)
Unidentified Flying Objects, or U.F.O.’s, as they are commonly called, are any airborne object that can’t be identified by the viewer during observation or investigation. (more…)
From the very beginning, when the first-meager base was used to test top-secret spy planes, most of what Groom Lake produced was unknown at the time. To this day many people report strange lights, objects, and activities of unidentified aircraft over the skies of Area 51. It should be noted that while people mistakenly connect the definition of UFO’s with alien spacecraft, there is no hard evidence that the unidentified flying objects at Area 51 are actually alien in nature.
