Area 51 pictures

These pictures were taken by Chris Barrus(chrisb@lynx.ps.uci.edu)

Check out the README file written by the photographer giving more details about the pictures.

Excerpt from that file "All photographs taken on March 20, 1993. Prints were later scanned via a Microtek 600ZS scanner onto a Macintosh Quadra 950. Some enhancement was done on the photos with Adobe Photoshop, but only to increase contrast and brighten up some of the darker areas of the photos. I took most of these photos while shooting into the sun."

The notes acccompanying the pics are taken from the README file.

I took this photo at the point where Groom Lake Road enters the Restricted Area. I haven't the foggiest idea what this is and I couldn't get a better picture of it without crossing into the restricted area. It is located on the north side of Groom Lake Road about 100 yards away from the shoulder. === 30K jpg

a51-pano.jpg

Four photographs taken at the Black Mailbox location on NV-375. I combined the photographs together to create this one long image of the entire area including: Bald Mountain and the Groom Mountains, the Black Mailbox itself, and the point where Groom Lake Road enters the base. The Groom Mountains lie entirely within the Restricted Area, although it is possible to glimpse Groom Lake from the top of White Sides, just off of Groom Lake Road. Look at this picture in conjunction with the map to get a good idea of where things are. === 34K jpg

Although Groom Lake Road is very smooth (I was doing 50mph+ quite easily) it is covered with a fine layer of dust which creates a HUGE dust trail which follows you. While I was driving back to NV-375 along Groom Lake Road and the Mailbox Road, I was followed by an unmarked tan Chevy mini-truck with a camper shell. This truck could hide quite easily in my dust trail without letting me see him. I didn't notice his presence until I turned north on the Mailbox Road toward NV-375 and caught a glimpse of him. When I finally reached NV-375, I was met by an unmarked olive-drab Chevy full-size pick-up driven by a man dressed in desert fatigues. No government markings were on the truck, and it had Nevada plates. I took this photo looking back over at the two trucks just after I pulled onto NV-375. === 40K jpg
