Hi all,
I am going to Prove to Origion of the S-4 stories often debated here on ATS. I think I can explain All of the eye-witness acounts of activity over
Papoose lake that has so many times been used as evidence for the Lazar Story. This will take a little while, but I promise it will all make sense by
the end.
This story of S-4 begins Not at Papoose Lake, but a few miles Northeast at a Supersecret Research facility known as Deamland. Dreamland is the base
at Groom Lake where so many of the world's most secret aircraft such as the U-2, A-12 Blackbird, Tacit Blue and F-117 first took to the skies to
test there wings. For more them 50 Year Groom Lake has been home to the Projects America claims don't exist! Here ideas that seem to have been ripped
from the pages of science fiction are developed and tested in the Real world, under a shroud of mystery and secrecy. Dreamland or Area 51 is concealed
from the outside world by a large block of Restricted Airspace known as R-4808N. Here is a link to a flight chart showing R-4808:
R-4808N Dreamland
Look closely at the flight chart and study it's boundries. You will notice that
the Entire top half of Papoose Lake is inside of R-4808N. This
means that technically this part of the lake bed is under the control of the people who control Area 51 to the north. It also mean that Air craft from
Groom Lake can fly to Papoose without leaving the Restricted Airspace of Dreamland.
Now this doesn't mean there has ever been Anything built at Papoose Lake. In fact, we have no reason to believe that there is anything there. Some
quick quotes from the
Papoose Lake Primer will Illistrate my point very clearly:
There is really only one location that fits Lazar's description. It's on the east side of the lake bed, just north of a natural "tongue" that
sticks out into the lake. This is the only location the Papoose mountain range comes down to anywhere near the lake as a collection of low foothills.
The Testors booklet conveniently labels the spot as "S-4". At other points along the range, the mountains are quite a distance from the lake, up an
alluvial plain.
Problem is, there's nothing there! Absolutely nothing. A facility such as Lazar described would have to leave traces easily visible on a photo with
the resolution of this one. Even assuming the facility is hidden in the hills, there is no sign of an access road (which Lazar described as good), no
sign of a fenced area (and the accompanying marking of terrain it would leave), no sign of terrain scuffing from people walking around or even from
hauling discs out of the hangars onto the lake. It's not as if these things won't show up on the photo, as they do in other areas near Groom. Guard
vehicle turnaround spots on the dirt roads are clearly seen
The photo is also clear enough to easily make out all the dirt roads down to the 4wd level. By using the main access roads around Groom as a
reference, it's obvious which are the good roads and which are not. The road running down to Papoose Lake on the west side of the Papoose Range,
appears to be a very poor road, except for the most northerly portion. The road deteriorates as it nears Papoose Lake, and dumps into the north end of
the lake bed itself. There are a few 4wd routes crossing the lake, but nothing approaches the likely location of S-4.
Notice these Texts
Very Clearly Highlight a total Absence of activity on the ground around Pappose Lake. It makes no sense that they have a base
so secret that Noone
EVER enters or leaves the buildings. Even a Top secret base needs things such as food and workes.
So, what's going on? HERE is The ANSWER:
Papoose is Part of the Flight testing range for Dreamland. Black Project aircraft from Groom Lake fly manevers over Papoose Lake during their test
missions before returning to the base. This makes sense for several reasons:
- By Using the airspace above Both Groom and Papoose Lakes, the military has a much larger area in which to fly Top secret aircraft without leaving
the protection of the military area.
-Papoose Lake is uninhabited: This allows for an isolated location in case of a crash. Pilots can turn for and attempt to eject over the northern most
part of Papoose, enshuring that a crashing aircraft will come down inside of R-4808, where the crash site can't be overflown by uncleared people.
-Papoose gives pilots a lineup area for testing at the RCS test range at Groom Lake: Planes can fly to Papoose and line up from several miles away for
a pass against the Radar facility at Groom Lake, as was done with Have Blue in the late 1970's.
The Military has almost certainally been using the Airspace over Papoose to extend the secure testing area for planes from Dreamland for many years.
It's remote location away from the boarder of the Nevada Test Site Makes the dry lake an ideal area to expand the flight testing from Groom Lake into
with out compromizing security.
There is Nothing on the Ground at Papoose Lake and Never has been. However, the military's use of the Airspace over the lake bed to support flight
testing of aircraft from Groom Lake has given rise to the Myth of a secret base at Papoose. People are seeing Top Secret planes from Groom Lake use
the airspace over to uninhabited lakebed for test flying, nothing more.
I truly Believe that I have just Proven the Origion of the myth about a base at Papoose Lake. It all started with an honest misunderstanding of how
big R-4808N really is and how the military conducts flight testing operations of secret aircraft.
Now that we have covered the origion myth of secret flight testing facilty at Papoose Lake, where did S-4 come from? As for that answer, I'll pull a
quote from another thread:

This anonymous post is in response to ATS thread: S-4 Question: What does the "S" stand for?
Hello all,
I'm a "Camo Dude", and I'm here to tell you;
S-4, is simply Sector-4, on military base/area maps they are sectorized to prioritize various mission support functions. Major Accident evac, MOPP,
ect. They generally are numbered in a counterclockwise fashion, so the 4th sector is typically in the northeast corner.
I pulled this quote from another thread of mine to Illistarte tne answer to the S-4 question. S-4 is Just one of many sectors of the Dreamland base at
Groom Lake. S-4 is outlined on the map below:
MAP
As you can see the real S-4 is NOT a secret base, but mearly a part of Groom Lake. The Part of Papoose Lake that is inside of the boundries of Dream
Land in Nowhere Near the Real S-4. I don't know what secor it's in, but not Number 4!
It was the combination of the funemental misunderstanding of the size of the secure flight tesing area connected to Groom Lake combined with a lack of
knowedge of how the base's Sector systen really works that would lead to the myth of Sector 4 (shortened to S-4) being a supersecret facility at
Papoose Lake. The fact that secret test flighs are in fact conducted in the airspace over Papoose has lead many serious researchers to the Errornious
conclusion the there could be a facility of some kind at Papoose. The truth is
There is Nothing of the sort!
So, yes there are Secret aircraft flying over Papoose Lake, however, they all come from Groom Lake!
I think we are ready to close this debate and
move on!
Repsectfully,
Tim
