These pictures were all taken by me on a weekend road trip out to
"Area 51," an area on the northern side of the Nellis Bombing &
Gunnery Range in Nevada.  Area 51 is home to Groom Lake, where
a top-secret (well, not that much of a secret) Air Force base is
located.  Groom Lake is the supposed testing grounds of Project
Aurora, the Air Force's replacement for the SR-71 spy plane.

Further south of Groom Lake is Papoose Lake, sometimes known as
S-4, or "Dreamland."  This is the supposed location of several 
flying saucers that are in the government's possession.

The best book (IMHO) on this area and on the Nevada UFOs in general,
is a self-published book entitled Area 51 Viewer's Guide by
Glenn Campbell.  It covers the entire area around Area 51 and
Rachel, Nevada, describes the various types of objects people have
seen in the area, as well as the best viewing spots.  This book is
very well-written, with a much needed sense of humor which
most UFO material lacks.  Rather than being a saucer guide,
the book is more "nuts and bolts" oriented toward the mechanics
of going out to the middle of Nevada to look for the unexplained.
All of the material is based upon facts as investigated by the
author himself.  I strongly suggest buying a copy.

PHOTO DESCRIPTIONS:
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.

This is the warning sign on the north side of Groom Lake Road telling
you to go away.

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.

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.
