I don't see a water tower. I see a building or rectangular concrete slab.


It's part of the old underground testing area.

Did you happen to see how many nukes they tested there? The place is probably as hot as a port town hooker.

A circular cloud of smoke raising up from just below ground level? Could that be where Steve Fossett landed?

Way too far? Its only 12.9 miles NW to "Area 51" aka Groom Lake located in the R-4808N area on a sectional, which encompasses both areas. There is nothing secret about the base anymore. The site in question if at Yucca Flat, known for the atomic testing - as evidenced by all the holes in the ground.

Guys, the face is off to the right...

The tower I referenced is on the base, shadow falls east and north. If that object was a floater, the shadow is falling east and south.

Amazing how things can seem when an older one has been driving/up for 20 hours or so...

Anyway, back to the regularly scheduled schtuff, Obama is too aggressive/conservative and McCain is a liberal whack job. yaddayaddayadda now go vote for Dr Paul!!!

Good night Gracie!

Face? What face? What drugs are you on? Please share.

They have a nice baseball field. Looks like no visitors side though.

US nuclear test #942 code name Orkney <20 kilotons 5/02/84.

Looks like the markings are within the post detonation area of subsidence.

This looks interesting. Those are some tall poles! Surrounded by two fences spaced apart. By the looks of the entrance, they do not want you to go between the fences. There is a car, middle right, driving to the area. Where's my aluminum foil hat?
