[Message from moderator follows] On January 16,1998 my Wife and I drove to the Green River Missile Launch Complex outside of Green River, Utah. We visited the area once before last Summer just for fun and decided to follow up on some reports that there has been some new activity at the facility. On our last visit, we were able to roam the area as we pleased. The entire facility was in great disrepair and looked as if it had been that way for years. There where a few areas we didn*t look at because of the very high fences and we didn*t want to push or luck, but for the most part, those areas seemed to be in the same poor state as the rest of the complex. We were very surprised to find that several things have changed in this area since last year. The roads have been improved and there is obvious evidence that they*re getting heavy traffic such as deep *rutts* in the road made by large vehicles. There are new fences around several areas and a new sign. More alarming, where the new signs every one-hundred yards or so that state that it is illegal to photograph or document the layout of the facility in any way (we did anyhow). These signs were NOT there last year. We could not spot any activity while we were there, it was after all it was a Saturday, but we did see two Apache Helicopters fly right over us... that*s when we decided to leave by the way. Bottom line is, this isn*t the same *dead* facility it was last year ago, something is happening out there, as to what, your guess is as good as mine. T. O*Hanley Home sight: xmission.com/~cspotrun/index.html I am a Resident of Provo UT. ==================================================================== FROM THE MODERATOR Popular Mechanics would no doubt take this message as proof of its assertion that Area 51 has moved to Utah. However, at the time the article was published there was no significant security there. (See Navigator's report on the page below.) This is a military facility, even if unused, so one would expect the standard warning signs to be there. Maybe all the publicity generated by the Pop Mech article just prompted the Army to bring their signs and fences back to spec. Consistant with its mission, this facility is likely to go through cycles. It might be very active during missile tests and deserted otherwise. New activity and maintenance might reflect a new test series. The obvious avenues of investigation are often overlooked. The first thing to do, if you want to find out what is going on at Green River Launch Complex, is ask the people in the town of Green River. The second thing I would do, if I were visiting, would be to go to the public library and look for environmental reports concerning the facility. There are usually reams of them for any military installation, often deposited at local libraries. (I learned a lot about Nellis, Los Alamos and Hawthorne this way.) You might not find any direct record of Top Secret projects in an environmental report, but these reports do explain a lot about a facility and the kinds of activities that go on there. You can't go to the gate of a facility, look at the fence, the road and the warning signs and draw any meaningful conclusions. That's what Popular Mechanics did at Area 51, and the above report is doing the same.
