Oh, I know people who have seen thing's too up central Australia way, in places were 99.99% of the population would think there is nothing but desert, and in fact, there is nothing but desert as far as the eye can see. Thing's which most people on this forum would be extremely interested in. But I have no proof to back up those stories, so I'm not going around posting them.

I said I know people who have seen things, well they claim to have anyway. I don't know if they are telling the truth, exaggerating, or flat out lying.
And whilst we are at it BLV2 here is some more reading for you, members.iimetro.com.au...

Makes for a good read tho
Probably worthy of a thread of it's own..
And I recall there is at least one very long thread (somewhere ? here) on this very fascinating topic.
EARTHQUAKES TO ORDER In 1965, this section of the Great Sandy Desert area was (uniquely for Australia) covered by high-altitude U2 aerial photography, paid for by the US Government. Why? In 1966, the French oil company Aquitaine Oil (now called ELF Aquitaine) took out a large oil exploration permit in this most isolated and difficult-to-access area of Australia. Canberra even paid half the exploration costs to help explore the hinterland. No other company known to me ever got this type of deal - especially to explore an area of poor conceptual potential in a poor geological environment when many easier-access and far better geological environments with excellent conceptual potential existed elsewhere in Australia and were open for acquisition and exploration. Aquitaine commenced exploration in 1967 and carried out aeromagnetic, ground gravity, seismic traverse, and ground VLF/ELF EM studies. (These EM techniques were quite rare and odd exploration techniques to be used in oil exploration.) In 1968-69, Australian Army MPs with 4WD Jeeps were airlifted into the Great Sandy Desert to round up a couple of hundred nomadic Aboriginal tribespeople and ship them out to Broome. This region was declared "off limits to the public", and all access tracks into the desert were guarded by Military Police. The published reason for this was the danger from a series of test launches from Woomera in South Australia, over the Great Sandy Desert and Broome, of the British Blue Streak missiles, and of the European four-stage space rocket satellite-launching system. (They even got this one into orbit eventually in early 1970 and 1971.) Thereafter, the British missile program and the European space effort were rather mysteriously and suddenly closed down. In 1970 Aquitaine did no field work. In late March 1970, a series of concentrated 3.0 to 5.0 Richter-scale earthquakes commenced in the eastern Great Sandy Desert. (Note: no earthquakes have ever been known there since seismometers were installed in WA in 1900; also, there is no Aboriginal racial memory of quakes in this region.)

As for blaming Woomera, while in the story it may sound ridiculous, it actually would be a valid reason to close an area to the public. Yes, even thousands of k's away. They test missiles and rockets...they launch them...they have to land somewhere...

I reckon your lying downunderET.
No offence, but if you worked there, you wouldn't be talking about it, for the very fact you stated...the secrecy act and your signature.
There is no airbase at pine gap. People really should just accept facts for what they are.
Hell, the Alice Springs airport is around 15km away from the Pine Gap base.
And as for Exmouth, it's a little over 2,200km west of Coober Pedy, on Australia's west coast.
I'm as interested in this secret and military stuff in this country as the next bloke, but really, no airbase, no B1's at Pine Gap.
And even if there were B1's stationed, here, they wouldn't need to hide them because there are many reasons why they would be here, legit PUBLIC reasons.

Lol, Woomera?
Guess where I live, and guess where our met office is located,
Nothing out here, but maybe some of the UAV's hey often trial here have been mistaken for something out-worldly. Oh and there is an army base in NW Western Australia.....thats why its prohibited

, please just admit that some things happen right under your nose, example is when I bought up this thread again, I put a link up about a building in Perth, conspiracy sh^t aside, I have spoken too a fair few people ( 20+) that live in Perth and they never knew that this building has no windows, see link
www.cmseng.com.au... this building was built in 1978,
Its an exchange building. There are almost identical buildings in Adelaide and Melbourne. They are pretty secure buildings for a good reason. They are telephone and data exchanges, and there are serious privacy risks in not securing buildings of this sort. Thus no windows and good EM shielding by design.
Sometimes there is conspiracy, and sometimes theres just conjecture.
