Secret Base in Central Florida...Ft. Lonesome.

I too live in Central Florida and would be willing to drive, photograph, video this area you are talking about in the sheer interest of learning more (if there is more to learn).

You just gotta give us more info to go on. Can you get a hold of your friends to see if they can help?

if you want to string us along
this is the part where you give
us details. you know as in
what road did you start on
what channel where the cb's on
what time of day or night.
details are the hallmark of greatness

Stay the hell away from that area, there is a reason that area is not developed, the area in question is near the small town of chicora (the southeastern most part of hillsborough county) I used to live there, I have friends still in the area. I drove straight up the road in question when i was still in the military, I had a very high security clearance level and that saved my ass ( TOP SECRET CRYPTO) I was warned about sightseeing and losing my clearance. but I will say this and you can take or leave it ( I myself, my closest friend and my brother who was also a Marine, have witnessed on several occasions the large black triangle ascending from that very area. it is real and I have heard it in silent mode and in a sickening "vibrating" mode. coincedentaly this area is in between Macdill AFB and the Avon Park bombing range. My advise is to stay in wimauma and leave that area to the military and the meth heads

wannaflyboy, when you get a chance, give us some coordinates or something so we can see where on the map this event occurred.

I created a previous post where I drove to Area 51 and Rachel, NV. I was hoping to see some planes flying about for Red Flag. Sadly, the Red Flag was only performing night missions.

But the coolest part was finding a sensor box disguised as a rock on top of a hill. Check out this post for pictures:

Sensor Box Disguised as rock

If any one is familiar with equipment like this, please feel free to post it on my forum. Information is key.

I live in Orlando ( lived here all my life 32 years) and repeatedly go to Hillsborough...never heard of it. MacDill another story. Some more info...be more than happy to check it out.

I have lived in Ft Lonesome for 40 years and still do. Just came across this topic thread. The only thing even close to what you are descfribing is a weather radar center / airplane radar facility out here. Name a specific road, and I will tell you whats there.

Sounds like you know where it is.

Go ahead and give us the Google Earth coordinates.

DMJ.... While I am not thrilled with you demanding instead of asking for the coordinates, I researched it anyway; for the benefit of others. I could not find the site on google earth nor on google maps. It may be that they removed the facility for mining purposes. I used to be able to see it from the road, I havent paid close attention to it in recent years. However, It was huge. It was way out in the woods, you could only see it from a distance, barley towering above the trees. I am going to try and post a picture of it. Like I said, it was a weather radar / airplane beacon. I will look for it this weekend from the road. If it is still there, I will try to figure out how to get to it and provide some coordinates. I did read that it was protected by the military. Something to do with NORAD.

I rode the entire area on my days off. The facility is no longer there. Its all being mined...

I am the OP of this thread and soon after I started this thread I didnt get on ATS for awhile. I decided to bring this back up because I didnt know anything about that radar facility and had no idea it had anything to do with NORAD, thats holds merit to my story...i know some of you thought it was a lie or bs, but that proves since the gentlemen said that facility was in fact guarded by the military. Like I said when i visited the area I was 17, and when I started this thread it was 2007 and I was 24 or 25, now im soon to be 28. I have always wanted to go back there and see if there is anything out there still. But from what has been said on here and from people I know, I think whatever it was is gone. The thing is though what happened to us that night was real. I have no idea how we didnt get caught but feel real lucky that we didnt. We were scared...hell when you see military people looking for you and helicopters searching it gets kinda scary. So I think in the next couple of weeks I might take a trip out there for old time sake just to snoop around. If you know anything about this place let me know. Also I know they were mining uranium out there also....didnt know if any of you knew that.

contact me if anyone's interested in learning about it [email protected]

I emailed you a few days ago but i havent heard anything back from you about whats out there in Ft. Lonesome.

here's something wierd I found on Google Maps fairly near the area. What do you make of the fenced area in the group of trees?

Here's some additional info on Ft. Lonesome:


Also:
Google Maps showing the mine and surrounding area

I'm not seeing the 20 or so ponds that you mentioned. (?)

What are some of the nearby roads leading to where you strted out?

 

The information you posted here is now "page not found." I wonder if there are some Sweepers coming along to erase information?

I have no clue what that is. But to me just looks like fencing for livestock or something.
