Area 51

Area 51 Research Center, Frozen in Time - The "Bible" of News, Facts and Opinions on Area 51, Las Vegas, Southern Nevada and The Meaning of Life. Although webmaster Glenn Campbell has "frozen" his site as of January 26, 2000, it still remains the best source of reference material on Area 51. 

Bluefire - I was sorry to read that Tom Mahood won't be updating this site anymore. The reasons are given at the top of his page. Never the less, there's a great deal of information here, and from time to time Tom will sneak in a new article or two. Check out "Particle Beams and Saucer Dreams". You never know when those glowing orbs might return to Groom. As a sidelight, read his "Hunt for 928" story. 

The Dreamland Resort - "Online home of the Little A'Le'Inn in Rachel, NV" This site is becoming a large repository of new and updated Area 51 information. A good collection of pictures of the surrounding land will quickly get you familiar with the area before you visit. A forum section has interesting discussions of current Area 51 events. The Resort has also teamed up with the Little A'le'Inn Gift Shop and Amazon.com to offer a wide selection of Area 51 merchandise. Online reservations for rooms at the Inn are also here. 

Groom Lake Audubon Society - Don't let the name mislead you; these guys have done some serious "Groom Lake Watching". There are lots of trip reports, not only of the usual trips to the border but also of interesting places in the surrounding territory. It's all done with a slightly humorous approach so you know they don't take themselves to seriously. 

Dreamland51 - Majestic is a good writer and he puts his talent to work exploring the myths and legends surrounding Area 51. No fancy graphics or pictures, but a lot of good information and commentary to make you think. 

Desert Secrets - This site has the best recent pictures of Area 51, bar none. Also included are pictures of the Tonopah Test Range plus some of the sights around the area. They were taken by the webmaster, Steve Hauser, with some by Chuck Clark. Most are arranged in large panoramic images which give you a sense of the vastness of these facilities. Even though some of the files are huge, be patient. It's well worth the wait. 

Federation of American Scientists - A huge, often overwhelming, site covering a wide range of scientific topics. This is like having your own online military reference library. Most relevant to Area 51 are the Military Analysis Network and the Intelligence Resource Program. 

Global Security - This site is an offshoot of the one above. The webmaster, John Pike, originally worked with the FAS, but a few years ago struck forth on his own. While not specifically about Area 51, it offers a comprehensive view of worldwide military and security matters. John Pike is often seen on network television with his indepth knowledge of these matters.
