im spying on area 51

Duranix · Apr 18, 2005, 01:13 PM

yeah, its fun =)

http://maps.google.com/

to your left, there is a link called satellite.

if you use that, you can zoom in and everything and find your house...

or do area 51

Duranix · Apr 18, 2005, 01:20 PM

theres also

http://terraserver-usa.com/

that has some better closeups, but theres parts of Rachel Nevada that are missing, so google may be better for area 51

dont think that its not real..

my CS buddy found his apartment on that map!

thing about this is its not in real time, try world wind 1.3 for high quality maps in real time world wide. 1m x 1m resolution in the u.s

Duranix · Apr 18, 2005, 01:51 PM

ok, im downloading worldwind. It looks awsome...

im gonna zoom down on area 51 in real time =)

TJ- · Apr 18, 2005, 01:59 PM

i think area 51 is blocked out with a red blur, at least it was in 1.2

and you need a super fast connection for it to work properly, and get all the plug ins from the nasa site, or its crap

Pluvious · Apr 18, 2005, 08:01 PM

Anyone know area 51's address?

Dark Lord · Apr 18, 2005, 08:14 PM

i dont understand why, but my entire city is completly blanked out still.

pr0digal jenius · Apr 18, 2005, 08:14 PM

Groom Lake, Nevada is it's real name, if that's what you wanted

Pluvious · Apr 18, 2005, 08:19 PM

Nevermind .. found this blog with details ..

http://www.livejournal.com/community...ned/37956.html

WOW.. google has pulled the image from its database!! Can't do what this guy did by going to rachel, NV 89001 and zooming in now. Big Brother strikes again..

Dark Lord · Apr 18, 2005, 08:19 PM

you wont see a single military/major goverment instaltion on this map. every single one has been replaced with something else, such as a park or residential building complex.

Dark Lord · Apr 18, 2005, 08:28 PM

his little green dots arnt all that special.... there all over the nevada satellite map.

pr0digal jenius · Apr 18, 2005, 08:36 PM

they're farms.

And they are circles because the way irrigation works most efficiently is to have a rotating arm anchored in the center spin while watering the crops...hence the circle

But here's an oddity for ya

Warpy · Apr 19, 2005, 07:37 AM

Razgriz · Apr 19, 2005, 07:54 AM

this is pretty close to the "3" and the circles surronded by a triangle

http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=37.66...&z=1&t=k&hl=en

Falstaff · Apr 19, 2005, 09:06 AM

I can assure you that spying on that facility impossible...
nice try though...LOL

pr0digal jenius · Apr 19, 2005, 04:56 PM

i wanna be the guy in charge of covering up stuff like that.

replace area 51 with, say, a nudist camp or something

Mad Scientist · Apr 21, 2005, 10:56 AM

very cool, only my home is not vissible! Cause its so secret! LOL

chisss · Apr 23, 2005, 06:59 AM

lukej · Apr 24, 2005, 10:59 PM

squiggley · Apr 25, 2005, 10:52 AM
