www.ufodigest.com/article/black-mailbox-extraterrestrial-highwayA Black Mailbox on the Extraterrestrial HighwaySubmitted by Hugh Mungus on Thu, 05/19/2011 "I certainly believe in aliens in space. They may not look like us, but I have very strong feelings that they have advanced beyond our mental capabilities...I think some highly secret government UFO investigations are going on that we don't know about, and probably never will unless the Air Force discloses them." -- former Arizona Senator, Barry Goldwater What do dead, bloated cows, a lack of radio stations and an absence of telephone poles have in common? These disparate elements can be found near Area 51, perhaps the most Top Secret military facility in the world. During our travels, we learned the pair of deceased, turgid bovine we passed in the middle of the highway was resultant of a free roaming policy, an 18 wheeler and its groggy operator. A possible high speed chase emanating from Area 51, involving a red Hummer and a large, white Bronco, piqued our interest. A photo we shot of an anomalous, aerial craft during our desert sojourn, keeps us pondering to this day. Three mini-tornadoes simultaneously skipping across arid caliche only heightened our experience. For a place in the middle of nowhere, there sure is a lot goin' on near Dreamland; a.k.a. Area 51. On the itinerary of any serious Groom Lake explorer is the renowned "black mailbox." Now beige, this postal drop demarcates a spot where UFO hunters, at one point, gathered nightly, searching the skies over Area 51 for enigmatic activity. Located along Route 375, state-named the Extraterrestrial Highway, between mile markers 29 and 30, the original mailbox was supplanted with a more contemporary version for practical reasons. Contrary to misconception, the letter receptacle is not the property of Area 51, but rather belongs to one Steve Medlin, a local rancher owning the sole farmstead in Tikaboo Valley. Prior to changing out the old mailbox, our herdsman friend often discovered tourists rifling through his correspondences, hunting for Top Secret documents. Allegedly, Steve's letters frequently came delivered sporting fresh bullet holes. The latest version of the famed mailbox is impervious to gunfire, complete with a lock to deter curious researchers. The original black letter drop was auctioned off for $1,000 in '96 to a UFO fanatic. A dirt thoroughfare leading south from the landmark is aptly named Mailbox Road, and intersects after five miles with Groom Lake Road, which leads to the fabled base.

During my horse training era I had clients in Pahrump Nevada and one of the ways to get there is to drive right by area 51. It's only about 15 miles from it and a lot of the residents work there, in fact my clients husband was a security guard there. His biggest grief were the protesters and the ones sneaking around trying to catch a peek. They put their guards through a rigorous fitness program and they have to retest every year to keep working there. It's the flattest chunk of desert imaginable..posted signs and not much more to see but it was always kind of exciting to drive by

RACHEL, Nev. -- The caravan cutting thru the Tikaboo Valley on a stormy afternoon seemed vaguely spooky as cars slowly pulled off at a local landmark. Spooky fits, too, since the passengers are mostly former spooks, denizens of the black world of classified programs. They lunch and pose for snapshots at what was once known as the Black Mailbox. Ever since 1989 when Bob Lazar told his tales of seeing flying saucers from the spot, the mailbox has been sort of a shrine for UFO pilgrims. On this day, that means the Roadrunners. "We've been waiting to do this a long time, they just wouldn't let us. Times have changed," said T.D. Barnes. Further on up Highway 93, in the warm confines of the Little A'Le'Inn, Roadrunner stalwart T.D. Barnes tells the crowd that his members are happy to answer questions, tell stories, even sign autographs. On this day, they are celebrities, able to speak somewhat freely about their years at a base whose very existence the government would not confirm. "For 30 years, we were unknown. No one knew we were out there," he said. The former CIA radar specialist was one of the first of the Roadrunners allowed to speak publicly about what went on at Area 51. Barnes and other Roadrunners gave their first television interview to the I-Team more than five years ago. And since then, the CIA has authorized further releases about the classified programs and spy planes tested and flown at the off-limits Nevada facility. Roadrunners spilled some beans in public presentations last week and have been displaying former secrets at each of their semi-annual reunions. The CIA seal of approval for Roadrunner disclosure's is evident at the A'Le'Inn. The agency's official historian is present and the pool table has been converted into a CIA gift shop, selling all sorts of spy agency memorabilia. Though the declassified programs haven't been operational for decades, some details will remain classified for who knows how long. The Roadrunners can talk about it, but only within limits. "They know we are not exploiting the program or telling anything we shouldn't," said Barnes.

I'll add it to my collection of other Top Secret government gizmos that I have stolen...uhh...I mean "acquired by legal means" over the years. I'm not going to get in trouble for saying that am I?

It is one of the most covert military bases on American soil, protecting the nation's most confidential research and development. For decades, the highest levels of government had denied its existence. But behind the barbed wire fences and surveillance cameras are secrets...Go inside the most famous secret military base on Earth to expose the high-tech security, undercover operations, and most outrageous claims surrounding the 575 square miles of "restricted" space. What actually goes on at Area 51? Is there a connection between Area 51 and the Roswell event of 1947? Could there be a secret subterranean city underneath the barren desert? Have the conspiracy theories surrounding Area 51 been a smokescreen for controversial military projects? While the government may never reveal what it's really hiding at Area 51, many believe it is a place where truth is stranger than fiction

And for a long time, that was true. On March 26, the Smithsonian-affiliated National Atomic Testing Museum in Las Vegas plans to unveil the first-ever Area 51 exhibit, and it will be loaded with UFO and possible extraterrestrial-related items. The exhibit, dubbed "Area 51: Myth or Reality," will present the historical records of a place that has long been shrouded in mystery. Watch this Area 51 exhibit promo video: Uploaded by NationalAtomicMuseum on Jan 17, 2012 The National Atomic Testing Museum will open the Area 51 exhibit Spring 2012 "The CIA declassified most of the records on Area 51 up through the late '60s and early '70s. It's out in the public now," said museum CEO and executive director Allan Palmer. "Now we know a lot more about it and can present some of the really true stories that happened out there. And we feel a bit of an obligation to tell the larger story about the public's perception of Area 51, which runs right into aliens, UFOs and extraterrestrial time travel, and those kind of things," Palmer told The Huffington Post. For years, UFO conspiracy theorists have claimed that the U.S. military was using a secret facility in the Nevada desert to examine captured flying saucers. Fuel was added to that fire when many people reported seeing strange craft in the skies around the mountains that surround an actual military base, located near a salt flat called Groom Lake, about 80 miles north of Las Vegas. It's now widely known that Cold War spy planes (including the U-2) were developed and tested at the base. The man who broke the story in 1989 about alleged alien technology at Area 51 was Emmy Award-winning news journalist George Knapp of KLAS-TV in Las Vegas. "There had been bits and pieces in aviation publications about the possibility of something really weird flying around there, but nobody had done any serious reporting about it," Knapp told HuffPost.

www.lasvegasweekly.com/news/2012/may/16/top-secret-atomic-testing-museum/ Top secret! Atomic Testing Museum pulls back the curtain on Area 51Kristen Peterson Wed, May 16, 2012 The Details
Area 51: Myth or Reality Monday-Saturday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m.; Sunday, noon-5 p.m.; $6 (plus $11-$14 museum admission) Atomic Testing Museum, 755 E. Flamingo Road, 794-5151Well, this is interesting. There’s an alien lying on a hospital bed and a larger-than-life wall-sized photo of Lonnie Hammargren dressed in medical scrubs behind it. The implication here is that Dr. Hammargren, former Lieutenant Governor and neurosurgeon, conducted alien autopsies. It’s a little joke thrown in by the Atomic Testing Museum for its Area 51: Myth or Reality exhibit. Naturally, a Department of Energy-mounted exhibit of its legendary desert laboratory northwest of Las Vegas is going to have fun with extra-terrestrial fascination. Given the intrigue of Area 51, it makes sense they’d tip a hat to little green men and flying saucers through references to UFO sightings throughout history, newspaper and radio clips of the 1947 crash in Roswell, New Mexico, and even a George Knapp room. But following a section on outer space and the SETI program, Area 51 gets to the meat: the U.S. government’s once-classified aircraft and projects, including videos of test pilots discussing their experiences in supersonic speed and reverse engineering of Soviet crafts. On display are an A-12 pressure suit worn by pilots, tires from the A-12 and scale models, including one of Avrocar, a flying saucer built because the U.S. government thought that Soviets had built them. There’s obviously no reference to Josef Stalin’s Soviet saucer filled with surgically deformed children, as disclosed in Annie Jacobsen’s 2011 much-discussed book, Area 51: An Uncensored History of America’s Top Secret Military Base. As with everything regarding Area 51, the truth and/or complete fictional absurdity has a classified shelf life.

The 12-man crew were visiting the famous top secret Area 51 site in Nevada, where it is claimed bodies of aliens are held. The crew were making a documentary for the BBC3 called “Conspiracy Road Trip.” They ignored warning signs and slipped past security to film inside the fence. Minutes after breaching security they were surrounded by armed guards brandishing M16 assault rifles. The guards forced the crew to lie face-down for three hours while the FBI ran security checks. UFO expert Darren Perks (34), one of the crew, told the Sun, that one of the cops told him “Listen, son, we could make you disappear and your body would never be found.” They were fined $600 (£375) and ordered not to reveal what they had seen at Area 51. However Perks said, “We didn’t see anything except a bit of tarmac.” Perks told the Daily Mail online, “Basically the concept of the trip was to tour across California, Arizona and Nevada with comedian presenter Andrew Maxwell and four people who had an interest in the UFO phenomena. “We went to Area 51 in Nevada firstly because it’s related to the UFO phenomena and secondly so we could do a nighttime sky watch to see if we could spot anything unusual.” When the crew arrived to the “Back Gate” of Area 51 they could not see any guards or vehicles. Perks continued, “We filmed for approximately 30 minutes and tried to call the guards but there was no one there and no sign of them.

Only a bunch of fools would try to sneak on to that base. Not even I am crazy enough to do that...at least not yet anyway. Aren't these the same people who were asking for volunteers who wanted to go on a cross-country UFO trip? I'm glad I didn't volunteer. I'm already in enough trouble with the Feds...The last thing I would need to do is get arrested with these clowns.

They don't normally shoot people because people don't ever get past the outer boundary. The outer perimeter is guarded by a privately contracted security firm who arrest people and fine them. It's usually a $600 fine for the first offense. It rises quickly after that. The BBC people were still a long ways away from the inner perimeter where they take things much more seriously. Not even the outer security people are allowed in there. If anybody ever made it that far then the shooting would begin.

Nah if they shot people it would just draw more attention and have people storming the place. They just want people to be scared off. I know a guy who used to work there. I wouldn't want the job...it's desert and boring until idiots protest or try to sneak on the base. As I've mentioned here in the TEOR, in the past, I owned and operated (1/3 partner) a scientific military contracting company. We were principally DARPA/DoD contractors, everything we did was classified.
I worked at Nellis AFB on several different contracts. Many civilians work there doing all matters services.
Here's the drill, ya get awarded a contract. With the contract in your hand, ya drive up to the Nellis guard-shack, when asked, ya tell'm that ya are a contractor and ask'm 'where's the PC&C Office?' The guards, like the robots that they are, ask to see a driver's license and vehicle insurance papers, without those three things, a non-military serviceperson doesn't get on the base. The guards produce and give a little map that shows how to drive over to the PC&C Office, sometimes, but not always, they'll call the MP Station, and have them escort ya over to the PC&C Office. Ya drive over there, and inside ya show'm the contract award papers, they then, assign a liaison officer who then takes ya over to the contract...job site, to indoctrinate one on what is permissible and what's not, where ya are allowed to drive, where the cafes are located, bathrooms, etc. And if the contract performance period is a short term, couple of days or couple weeks, ya are given a little windshield placard that ya hang on the mirror neck, but if the contract performance period is a long term job, ya get a little sticker that is stuck-on the inside of the windshield, which is removed when the contract terminates.
Now, Nellis, as any other military facility, has its secret places, and if ya are caught screwing around in one of those places, well there'll be he.ll to pay for it and very likely you'll be disbarred from being able to be awarded further contracts for military bases. And if ya caught over in those places with a camera, well, they have the right to shoot ya. And frankly I support that position.
In the least the Brits should have been thrown in jail, as they are grown-ups and they know better. On the other hand, the whole story seems a bit stinky to me, maybe they fabricated all or portions of the story, because frankly, how did they gain entrance to the base? And that, is why I said that the guards should have shot them. If they actually did enter the base without going through the normal entrance process, it means that they cut a hole in the fence somewhere, with the intention of spying on a military base, using the UFO doc story as a an alibi. Maybe they are actually foreign national spies? In any case, if the story has any truth to it, they need their bu.tts kicked.

Actually there is no fence at area 51. They just have little orange plastic stakes marking the boundary. The base is in the middle of the desert and is covered with all sorts of electronic servellience, motion sensor detectors and cameras. There is no way anybody can get close to anything secret without a million people knowing about it. The BBC people entered through the back gate which is a long ways away from anything worth looking at. They didn't even get very far past the outer boundary before they were apprehended.
I've been to quite a few military bases because of my job also. Most of them are easy to get onto. Area 51 is slightly different. They take things a little more seriously there.

Yep, you are quite correct about the test range, and lots of folks do confuse the so-called 'Area 51' with the Nellis test range, I don't recall the range name although it is part of Nellis. There are actually three different areas affiliated with Nellis AFB which are widely seperated. I've worked in all three areas. The test range is mainly unfenced open ground with nothing out there, but I've never been out to the boundary in that area as I had no reason. I wonder, is that where the yellow stakes are? (Probably to prevent eyeballing from space.) Ad rem, I suspect that's where most folks try to hang out? In any case its a long drive from the test range facilities. The second area also contains facilities, that area IS FENCED, has orbiting gunships and with a double fenced hummer patrol path, and then, there is Nellis AFB proper, which is where the main-entrance guard-shack is located that I mentioned, regarding contract work liaison. That entrance is the normal, low priority entrance to the AFB. I understand that there is another entrance, which also has manned guard-shack but I don't know if its fenced, I don't know where it is? The main entrance is fenced.
Like you, I've worked on a few bases, I stopped counting when I broached 25, now its all just a blurrrr.
My favorite base was Malmstrom and Keesler. Malmstrom area was so beautiful, and Keesler, well its in Biloxi, and that boyz and girlz, was a pedigree party town!!!

The areas where my friend was posted were fenced and from time to time (pretty often) people were picketing outside of the fence. I think maybe Sky you saw only a small bit of the facility.

The fenced location is the inner part where all of the buildings with the good stuff are located. I've never gotten past the outer boundary (or if I had I would never admit it ) but I have seen photos of the inner part of the base. It just looks like a typical military base with buildings, warehouses, storage facilities, radar antennas and satellite dishes. Not really anything extremely interesting unless they roll out one of their super secret test planes. I doubt that anybody would be able to see anything really worthwhile unless they could actually get inside the buildings and there is about a snowman's chance in Hades that is going to happen.

I know way back in time you could look down on this place. Then they extended the borders you seen nothing but the mountain . Now who posted the mailbox is inside the borders? That is hard to believe. That would be almost on top of Raquel ... This guy who own the mailbox years ago got his trailer home ramsacked by the FBI. He had done many video of craft flying around. He was lucky they did not arrest him. I have him on a hour program telling his story 20 some years again. Does anyone know where this man is today? He may be on u tube.

Hi Sky,
Yep, you are quite correct about the test range, and lots of folks do confuse the so-called 'Area 51' with the Nellis test range, I don't recall the range name although it is part of Nellis. There are actually three different areas affiliated with Nellis AFB which are widely seperated. I've worked in all three areas. The test range is mainly unfenced open ground with nothing out there, but I've never been out to the boundary in that area as I had no reason. I wonder, is that where the yellow stakes are? (Probably to prevent eyeballing from space.) Ad rem, I suspect that's where most folks try to hang out? In any case its a long drive from the test range facilities. The second area also contains facilities, that area IS FENCED, has orbiting gunships and with a double fenced hummer patrol path, and then, there is Nellis AFB proper, which is where the main-entrance guard-shack is located that I mentioned, regarding contract work liaison. That entrance is the normal, low priority entrance to the AFB. I understand that there is another entrance, which also has manned guard-shack but I don't know if its fenced, I don't know where it is? The main entrance is fenced.
Like you, I've worked on a few bases, I stopped counting when I broached 25, now its all just a blurrrr.
My favorite base was Malmstrom and Keesler. Malmstrom area was so beautiful, and Keesler, well its in Biloxi, and that boyz and girlz, was a pedigree party town!!!

You are correct that there are three different areas out there. One is the actual Nellis Air Force Base, the second is the Nellis Test Range and the third is the Nevada Test Site which is where they used to detonate the nuclear weapons they were testing. Area 51 is located in part of the Nevada Test Site if you look at it on a map but they extended the Nellis Test Range to encompass it also. They just don't show that on any maps. Kind of silly since every UFO buff on the planet knows where it is. The Nellis Air Force entrance is on the opposite side of the Nellis Test Range from where Area 51 is loacated. From there it is aproximately 30 miles from Area 51. I've been by the base about a hundred times but never actually went on it. I have been past the boundaries of the Nellis Test Range and the Nevada Test Site. I can say that without getting arrested because believe it or not there is a small area where it is legal to go across enroute to a hidden spring way out in the mountains in the middle of nowhere. I found out about it from one of the locals that I met while I was out there last year. That is still a good 30 to 40 miles from Area 51 though. Area 51 is located on the very northeastern part of the Nevada Test Site directly north of Nellis Air Force Base. If you look on a map and see Groom Lake that is where Area 51 is. There are several runways running directly across the lake bed. It is also just a few miles away from some huge bomb craters left over from the nuclear tests. The place is highly radioactive and sometimes they even have to evacuate the base when radiation readings get too high. I might post a map showing where all of this stuff is so people will have a better idea of the layout of the place.

People used to be able to hike up to the top of Bald Mountain and look down on the base. That's where most of the good photos of it came from. People used to camp out up there and photograph all of the secret aircraft that were being tested. That is where a lot of the UFO reports came from too. Years ago though the guvment illegaly grabbed all of that land so nobody can get a good look at it because the mountains block the view. All anybody is able to see now is the entrance where the guard post is located. The mailbox isn't on the boundary. It's way out by the road just a few miles east of Rachel where the Little A le Inn is.
