Title: Utah test range
Post by: JoJoDapyro on August 29, 2016, 11:27:48 am

I wish they had talked more about what they found, but pretty interesting none the less.

I think I read about this deal a while ago.
As I recall it was a survey done and surface finds
cataloged. If I am not mistaken the Cougar (Paleo)
points were the rage.

I'm surprised they let them into the area. It's highly restricted, one of those places where the signs read "No Trespassing. Use of Deadly Force is Authorized."

That's where the Groom Lake AF facility is located.  It's better known as Area 51, although the military never called it that. They actually declassified the area enough that you can view it from google maps now. It's an interesting way to spend a free evening.

Nope, this is in Utah, not Nevada. They do have those signs though.
