I thought most of the skunk works stuff was relocated in the 90s anyway?

Probably. There were a bunch of area 51 discovery and history channel things where people with cameras were getting right up to the fences instead of getting intercepted a mile out by MPs

Maybe with the proliferation of high resolution commercial imaging satellites they probably can’t have anything “interesting” visible so it’s not that big of a deal?

If I was a gate guard at that base, I'd bring one of those green inflatable aliens and prop it up in the booth, hand it to them and tell them to gently caress off.

You don't even have to do anything lethal. Some CS gas and a few LRADs would deter anything but the most determined crowd. Americans are absolute poo poo at rioting compared to the rest of the world.

Not gonna lie my first thought on hearing this was that it was some CHUD poo poo head that wanted to burn all the immigrants alive. Thinking we need more "raid with fence cutters and let them all free" than violence that can go poorly for the victims.

Who needs a drone strike. It's literally up the road from where we tested the bombs designed to, in fact, kill that many people at once.

Its area 51. Can you imagine how much poo poo we dont even know exists they have? loving madmax poo poo where it fires circular saw blades at 1km/sec at a rate of 20 rounds a second because why not.

Edit: actually while were making poo poo up lets go full :wtc: , belt fed rotary 6 gauge shotguns firing a mix of slug, 00 buck shot and dragonsbreath rounds firing between 550 and 600 rounds a minute

Nah they test the fun boom stuff at China Lake.

I don't know anything about area 51 but I bet you could completely prevent access to it by 99.999% of Americans very safely by closing one or two roads. It's July in Nevada. No one is going cross country by foot in except like four hardcore lunatics and you know what? Those guys earned a tour.

It's also the worst part of NV, with very few roads in or out.

It's super dumb, but I can't stop myself. This is just kind of how I do things.
People don't seem to realize that area 51 was never a secret back in the 50s and 60s. They even had a local softball team. People decided it was a huge secret and the government just decided "okay, it's secret then".

The government did encourage the alien stuff to cover up the squadron of MiGs they were flying out of Are 51 for most of the Cold War, though.
