My idle-handed colleagues and I have been researching Lazar's claims since 1992, but I wasn't there when Lazar first made those claims... www.thewhyfiles.net...
I first came to the outskirts of the base in October 1992. I was interested in UFOs at the time, and the "Black Mailbox" was supposed to be a place you could see them on a scheduled basis. I quickly dispelled these stories. glenn-campbell.com...
His propulsion scheme sounds good (as do many science fiction stories), but makes no real sense especially in view of how difficult it would be to add protons to #115. Gravity wave amplification sounds great but what does it mean?

This is one item that troubles me about these "saucer tests"/sightings.
Considering Lear indicated in the Meltzer program that they were outside the border, on or near Groom Lake Road, likely at Campfire Hill - I made this diagram to indicate something rising vertically from the runway at Area 51 (blue line) VS the supposed Papoose S-4 site (red line).
Is it reasonable that what they saw was something being tested at Area 51, rather than the supposed S4 site? There would only be few degrees separation in the sky between the two points, and considering this was at night, I doubt they could tell the difference.
My money is on a VTOL UAV, with a bright light attached. Within the realm of possiblity for that timeframe?

The glow from Vegas is constantly present in the night sky looking in from Camp FIre Hill towards Vegas.

At the end of the day I'm no hater. I just like to see members play fair. There is a difference between an opinion and a fact, an assertion and a proof, between being there too late and being somewhere when it happens, between denying or admitting when you are wrong.

Oh I think when it comes to matter of respect, the record shows it was Pomander that was hurling the insults.

Im just jumping in here, and have read every post in this thread. I must say, gariac has shown more emotion in this thread than i used to see back in 08... you guys have really gotten under his skin... Ill respond to the lazar stuff later when i have more time but as for the glow thats more recently ben talked about... I have camped out at campfire hill over 50 times. Been there so much, my firepit hasnt been moved in over 3 years... I see that glow you guys are talking about every single time we go there. Every now and then I see a second glow, I always assumed it was from the base. But I can assure you all, there is a constant glow from the distance coming from the direction of the base/ vegas.

I'll try and get some night footage of the glow(s) when I head back in April.

Amazing. You show someone photographs of the Vegas lights, and you are still considered a liar. Maybe we should chip in to buy Pomander a ticket so he can see the base someday for himself.
The Groom runway lights are blue. It would be hard to see their additive light over any ambient sodium lighting since the sodium lights are near where the eye response peaks. Like I said, just run a scanner and see if the lights change as the plane lands.
If you mean a secondary light source that is always on, they this is true. I don't recall seeing it from the front gate and haven't been on Campfire Hill in a while, but you see the secondary light source from Tikaboo for sure. I believe it is Indian Springs. It shows up well in that night vision video. I will take a vector on it on my next TIkaboo trip.
When the electron multiplier cameras get cheap, Groom is going to have a real problem hiding aircraft. The Vegas glow if off to your left when on TIkaboo, so it actually aids in seeing aircraft. The view from the front gate is probably probably worst case. Well come to think of it, a night shot from White Sides would be looking into the glare of Vegas. That makes me wonder a bit about Chuck Clarke's infamous Aurora shots done at 2AM. While Chuck is orders of magnitude more trustworthy than Lazar, you have to wonder why the video never materialized. Now the telescope wouldn't see the light of Vegas, but it would be more likely that scattering would show up when viewed from that direction.
Now the lighting by the Groom passenger terminal is damn bright. It looks like two sodium sources from Tikaboo. They look like they are taller than the other lights on the base. I wouldn't rule out seeing a detectable change in those lights going out. I will try to have a ground observer next time I do Tikaboo and then radio when the passenger terminal lights go out. The passenger terminal lights stay on constantly until the last Janet has landed and I presume the passengers processed.
