Recently, I took a trip the the a place known as "AREA 51" the following is
some of what I saw over a 4 day period in the area of the "Test Site".

We arrived early on Monday evening. Within a few minutes security made a
driveby. Shortly after that 3 gold flares appeared to our South, they were only
visable for a few seconds before going out. Later, around around 1030 we saw a
"light in the sky" to our North. the light was some distance away as we watched
it make several rapid climbs and descents, right angle turns, and other strange
manuvers. This object was visible all 3 nights we were in the area of "AREA 51"
Monday and Tuesday visits were both about 30 minutes long, while Wednesday's
almost an hour long.

Tuesday and Wednesday nights we were also visited by a strange light that
appeared in the area of "AREA 51". This light appeared above the Groom Range
and did not move it started out dim then became very bright, stayed bright for
sometime before becoming dim again, this same actions were repeated several
times then the light would go out completely then be back a short time later.
There did not seem to be any pattern to the light appearances and
disappearances. About 9:30pm on Tuesday we heard what sounded like a pulsating
sound that lasted about 1 or 2 mins. before becoming steady, we could tell that
something took off and passed to our South but we could not see what it was, as
there was no strobe lights.

On a trip down Groom Lake Road to the start of "THE ZONE" (13mi. West of Hwy
375) We stopped off at the Trail Head for a hike up White Sides Mountain. White
Sides is about a 2,000 foot mountian that is on public land a mile or so
outside "THE ZONE" that you can climb for a look at "AREA 51". At the start of
our trip security stopped by to inquire about our well being. The trip to the
top was hot, windy, and long. once at the top we were able to see some of the
runway, a water tower, and several buildings. Not much new to report on any new
buildings being built. Security watched us during our climb but did not try to
stop us. We did not take any cameras with us or I am sure they would have
stopped us. Thanks to the White Sides Defense Committee (an underground group
trying to keep the Govt. from seizing the mountain.) the trail to the top was
well marked.

"THE ZONE" is about a 2mi. drive from the White Sides Parking area. When we
arrived we knew we were there, and so did security. Several signs were seen the
most important one being DEADLY FORCE IS AUTHORIZED. There is no gate no fence
just several striped post going over the hillside. The guard house is said to
up the road about a mile. If you make it to the guard house it's a good bet you
are going to jail!

Thursday we moved in closer to the air base itself (Nellis AFB.) We were
witness to several different aircraft doing manuvers over Las Vegas, but the
only aliens we saw were walking on the strip...

So what was it we saw in the desert sky on those nights in late May? I only
wish we knew...

I would like to send our sincere thanks for the great hospitality to, Joe & Pat
Travis at the "Little A"Le"inn" in Rachel, NV. and the Glenn Campball
Rachel,NV. for all of his help and for his outstanding book "AREA 51" VIEWER'S
GUIDE.
