Tonopah

Tonopah:

Tonopah Test Range Airfield which is by the NW corner of the very large Nellis AFB complex, which is 150 miles north of Las Vegas, Nevada.
This is the location where the Air Force test fly's vehicles that defy description. They have craft here that are indescribable, here they test fly things that are so far beyond the comprehension of the average aeronautical engineer that it is exceedingly difficult to describe them to the average lay person.

Some of the “ black projects ” that take place here are counter to our way of thinking, it's a totally new set of rules of physic's and aeronautics.

Technology such as “Force Shield” technology “Gravity Drive Systems” “Flying Disk designs. Lockheed’s Advanced Development Project Division, which designed and produced the F 117a, and B-2 Bomber are an example of an end product of these Top Secret endeavors.

There are essentially two divisions of UFO's. The “Alien Technology Center,” just north of Las Vegas, plays an important role with the testing of foreign unconventional aircraft.

This is the home of 4477th Test and Evaluation Squadron. Also known as {Red Hats/Red Eagles}. This is a highly covert organization, they gained notoriety when they flew a squadron of Soviet MIGs from area 51 to Tonopah Test Range Airfield.

Tonopah Test Range encompasses 625 sq miles on the northwest fringes of Nellis AFB. It is 70 miles northwest of Groom Lake, AKA Area 51. Tonopah is currently used for nuclear weapon delivery systems, research and development of fusing and firing systems, and testing the reliability of nuclear weapons which are stockpiled at this facility.

This facility is owned by the Department of Energy and not the United States Air Force. This facility is managed by Lockheed Martin through a subsidiary company called Sandia National labratories.

Sandia National labratories has obtained a permit through the United States Air Force, from the National Nuclear Security Administration.The primary facility at Tonopah is known as Area 10, which consists of several hangers and a 12,000 foot runway. There are an additional five abandoned airfields also at Tonopoh Test Range.

Six miles north of Tonopoh is a housing facility known as Mancamp. It contains 50 two floor dormitories, a recreation center which houses a bar a library, weight room and a game room.

There is a Olympic size indoor pool, several racquet ball courts, a two lane bowling alley, a BBQ area and a ATM machine. In other words this isn't a bible camp !

Area 3 is the operations center for Tonopoh Testing Range, which is in the vicinity of the airfield, slightly south of it. Area 3 houses the safety officer, testing Officer, and senior engineers.

The activities in and around Tonopoh are monitored with video surveillance, remote sensors, high speed cameras, and radar tracking devices.

This is not a facility where nuclear weapons are detonated, however in 1963 four weapons were destroyed as part of “ Operation Roller Coaster.” This operation took place north of Antelope Lake, and plutonium did escape into the ground soil.

Between 1979 and 1988, Tonopoh was the host of Russian MIGs used in air combat training exercises as part of Operation Constant Peg.This program was run by the 4477th Test and Evaluation Center “ Red Eagles.”

This allowed American Fighter Pilots to fly and operate, and fly against in dog fights, our cold war adversaries. This program was declassified in 2006. 5930 American Aviators were familiarized with the MIGs through this program !

Between 1982 and 1988 the 4450th Tactical Group was operating F-117 “ Knight hawks”, covertly from the Tonopah Air Field. During this time Mancamp was using shuttle buses to transport workers to Tonopah Testing Facility and Energy Department Boeing 727 and 737, connected the airfield to Nellis AFB, with up to twenty flights daily.

McCarran International Airport at Las Vegas also had two Boeing 737 flights daily serving Tonopah airfield by the Department of Energy.

Eight miles northeast of Las Vegas is the “Alien Technology Center.” This facility deals with the testing of conventional foreign aircraft.The USAF covert 4477th Test and Evaluation Squadron ( Red Hats/ Red Eagles) has flown more than a squadron of Russian MIGs from Nellis AFB to Area 51 and Area 10, which begs to ask the question, could they have also flown aircraft of extraterrestrial origin also ?

Steve Shults editor of the magazine Gung-Ho , claims that the Alien Technology Center has obtained extraterrestrial equipment and help in developing our advanced “ Star Wars Weaponry and Stealth Technologies.”

In 1988 Steve Schultz wrote “...yes I know I sound crazy, but the rumor is awfully solid ! The Alien Technology Center is real ! Something remarkable has made the Russians to want to play ball...I think this is it !”

In the early 1960's, a maintenance worker at Area 51, claims to have witnessed a disk shaped aircraft on the ground. This individual has a Q level Clearance from the Atomic Energy Commission and a inter agency Top Security Clearance.

This was conveyed to UFO Researcher David Dobbs “ It was on the ground partly hidden behind a building, at first he thought it was a private plane, but then noticed it didn't have either wings or a tail. He was about a half mile from the craft but noticed it was pewter in color, not a shiny aluminum. He estimated it to be 20-30 feet in diameter.” The witness claimed to be on location several times when the craft was landing or taking off but wasn't allowed to observe it.

He would be told that “ It would be landing or taking off in so many minutes.” He was always taken inside and out of view of the runway during these times. He didn't hear any sounds during these events, not engine or jet turbines or any normal sounds you here with high performance craft !

The witness was a electronics communication specialist who was servicing radio's at Area 51, on several occasions the radio's would shut down as if a power failure was taking place, then shortly they would come back without any manipulation to the radio's by the operator.

A Radar operator at the north side of the test site has reported several UFO contacts but was ordered to stand down and ignore the contacts, and he would do so as ordered.

The witness believed that he was observing a covert operation rumored to be underway at Area 51, known as project “Red Light”.
This project was not controlled by Nellis AFB, but was associated with disk aircraft.

There is a valley that runs north from the Area 51 test site for 200 miles, the thought is that this is the flight test area that the disk and stealth aircraft are using for flight testing.

There are several credible stories/ rumors concerning Red Light, that have been prevalent in the Area 51 community. USAF Lieutenant Colonel Wendelle Stevens (Ret) tells of being approached in 1950 by a former Navy Hospital Corpsman who was stationed at the Naval Auxiliary Airfield, which was part of the Atomic Energy Commission's test site, south of the Tonopah Testing Facility.

The Corpsman tells that at that time all of the base personnel had been reassigned except for the hospital staff. A Navy Sea Bee Battalion immediately moved in and started dismantling the facility, and removing part of the runway.

They then constructed an underground facility, and replaced the runway over the underground complex. By the end of 1951 the underground complex was finished and the Sea Bee's were replaced by a large squadron of “Red Light” personal.

This group grew to around one thousand personal that were permanently assigned to the base. It was reported that the base was protected on three perimeters and also by a blue beret security team.

At this facility all the personal had above Top Secret Clearance which included some of the very distinguished scientists of Area 51.It was said that the Red Light Program covered extraterrestrial propulsion systems, weaponry systems and examination and reverse engineering of extraterrestrial equipment and hardware.

There were rumors of captured UFO's, at least three saucer craft. There are reports of attempts to fly these craft or reverse engineered copies of the original craft to be continued
