Here is something

Why doesn't someone go over to A-51 on Freedom Ridge with a high powered telescope with a camera attachment for stellar photography and watch the base from there. I bet you could get some awesome pics.

And does anyone know of another site beside YouTube were there are more video survalance amatur or professional of A-51?

They dont because Whitesides and Freedom Ridge are inside the border since they moved the border back. Try Dreamlandresort.com for graet pics.

There is a lot of videos available on google video, like the one below...
Very interesting as far as area 51 is concerned...

Ahhh, that's to bad A-51 claimed Freedom Ridge. I wanted to plan a trip to there sometime to look around and take some video. So was Freedom Ridge the only place you could have had visual confirmation of the base?

no... please please do some research before attempting this trip.

Like seriously, the OP is in a time warp. ;-) No offense, but you can get arrested if you cross the border to get to Freedom Ridge or White Side. Especially if some jerk steals the signs in these remote places.

This link should open up Google Earth and show the trail up the hill.

i dont know enough about the geography and boundry lines to comment on where you can / cannot legally attemot such an endeavour

but using a telescope or other hi power optics to view long distances horiziontally [ or near as damm it ] is frought with difficulties

mainly because at ground level airpressure / density is near cosntant

dust / particles are at thier most concentrated at lower altitudes

temperature invesions are also a major problem

simply turning an astronomy telescope horizontal gives piss poor results

I was going to say the same thing as innocent ape, using a high power telascope, especially one designed for astrophotography like a Vixen, will give vvvvveeerrrryyyy bad results, generally wont work at all-it'll only come out as a blurry picture.

So, at this point in time...what is the closest known vantage point to view from?
And, how accessible is it?

The best idea is not to even attempt it. There are reports of people getting caught (even off the compound) taking photos and they WILL go off the base to confiscate your footage. Not to mention the fact that if you were to make a mistake and cross over, well then you get to meet the trigger happy people on the other side (more then likely you will be promptly escorted off and told not to return but why take the risk).

Also there is nothing 'other worldly' going on anyway, just high tech weapon systems for the future...

But if you do go....

Post us some pics!!!!!!!

There comes a time in ones life when one can no longer just wait...wait for answers...wait for truth... Often ones hunger for knowledge leaves one with that empty feeling...

I have come to that point in my life. The love of my life and I have several trips planned in this upcoming year. Area51 is on the list. We are only about 6 hrs away (driving) and a nice camping trip seems to feed the hunger which I speak of.

I appreciate your "concern" however, it is time. That is why I asked what the closest vantage point was.

As far as nothing "other worldly" going on... your "confidence" lends to the fact you have knowledge others do not? And if that is not the case...then how can you be sure?

I will give you a star for this post, because it takes someone of great intelligence to figure out what you did... Enjoy your trip ;-)

"Character is higher than intellect. A great soul will be strong to live as well as think."

Here is something that I find peculiar. In that 2 hour 14 minute video one of the people being interviewed said that if we could study this technology and make it work, it would give us a distinct advantage militarily against other nations. So is this to leave us to believe that we (the United States) are the only ones that have been in contact with extraterrestrials and if so, why is that. It doesn't seem logical that UFO's would only contact the United States and no other country or civilization, or is there something to this that we are not aware of. It just doesn't seem right that they would only contact us. Does it?? I would love to hear others opinions on this and if you have one please post it up...sabre11004...

Tikaboo.

And, I recommend a guide.

Great view from 26 miles.

But, it's a view from above.

26 MILES...just doesn't seem fair... doesn't seem with the trip/hike
Then again with 3 of the Colorado "fourteeners" checked of my list...
