Google Earth locates top secret US military base

PHOTOS have emerged of a new secret US air base that few knew even existed.

Google Earth pictures have revealed the clandestine air base — known as Area 6 — is located deep in the Nevada desert on the Yucca flat, the Las Vegas Review Journal reported.

The base is run by the National Nuclear Security Administration, which has kept Area 6 so under wraps — so much so that even defence industry experts were unaware of it.

Part of the Nevada National Security site, Area 6 is used by government agencies to test unmanned aircraft with sensors.

The agencies take advantage of the site’s restricted airspace without public interference or spying from space.

The agencies aim is to develop counter-terrorism techniques. This includes testing equipment with the capabilities to detect radioactive materials. These materials could be used by terrorists to make dirty bombs.

This power came forth out of the Atlantic Ocean. But afterwards there occurred violent earthquakes and floods; and in a single day and night of misfortune all your warlike men in a body sank into the earth, and the island of Atlantis in like manner disappeared in the depths of the sea.

The site consists of a single runway and a small complex of buildings dominated by a large hangar.

GlobalSecurity.org imagery analyst Tim Brown told the Las Vegas Review Journal that the length of the runway suggests Area 6 is used for small planes or remotely piloted aircraft such as Predator and Reaper reconnaissance drones.

Mr Brown said aircraft most likely in use at Area 6 are best suited for surveillance of hidden targets, weapons or personnel on the ground, particularly in areas of low population. The security site’s high-desert terrain is similar to what might be found in the “boondocks” of Libya, he said.

National Nuclear Security Administration spokesman Darwin Morgan told the Las Vegas Review-Journal: “We have controlled airspace and that gives them opportunities to test various types of platforms.

“We do a wide variety of work for others — supporting people with sensor development activities.

“It evolved from the nuclear testing program. We had to have very good sensors to collect data in a split second before they were obliterated.”

The Nevada National Security Site is run by the National Nuclear Security Administration’s field office in the state, which works with other agencies to develop ways of tackling terrorism.

Devices used to detect radioactive materials may be tested at the site, such as materials used by terrorists to make dirty bombs.

Area 6 is also believed be used to test Predator and Reaper drones.

Built in the 1950s for $9.6 million the site was originally used for atomic bomb test shots. In total 1000 nuclear tests were conducted between 1945 and 1992.

Four tests and six detonations happened in Area 6 according to a report by the US Department of Energy.

The base is positioned only 19km from the world’s most famous secret military base, Area 51, the existence of which was only acknowledged in 2013. Area 51 is protected by shoot-to-kill security and shielded from outside view by mountain ranges.

The discovery of the secret air base on Google Earth comes as a surprise, given a number of other classified sites around the world are pixelated or blacked out by the service.

Among the sites covered on Google Earth is the home of highly controversial operation known as HAARP (High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program).

Many conspiracy theorists believe the site, located near the Washington-Oregon border, is home to a secret weapon used by the government to trigger floods, droughts and other weather events.

Another location distorted on Google Earth is the Szazhalombatta Oil Refinery in Hungary.

The oil facility requested its buildings and grounds to be deleted and replaced with a green render.

Adding to the mystery is the rumour that the only thing the green block is protecting is a field of grass. Which begs the question: what’s underneath the grass?

Google Earth has also been responsible for blacking out of large sections of Baker Lake in Northern Canada.

Infamous online conspiracy theorist Dr Boylan has long believed Google is trying to hide the locations of “extra-terrestrial beacons” located in the region, although this is yet to be proven.
