Investigating
Los Alamos
National Laboratory
For UFOs and other Weird Stuff
Los Alamos, the birthplace of the atomic bomb, is America's premiere national research center. Located on fortress-like mesas overlooking the Rio Grande, Los Alamos was a secret city during World War II, the brain center of the Manhattan project. Today Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) is composed of many different laboratories engaged in a variety of scientific research. Although secret projects continue today within individual laboratories, you can drive and hike around much of the facility. A major project of LANL today is cleaning the environmental damage of its Cold War past.

Regarding "Los Alamos National Laboratory" - Latest First

Area over LANL *IS* restricted
On the contrary, the area over Los Alamos is restricted (R-5101 on the Albuquerque Sectional - 12000MSL/SFC - about 6000 AGL, and high enough to give your average private plane significant problems getting "over the top")
The Los Alamos airport even has special approach procedures for avoiding the restricted area and townsite.

I am a commercial pilot now living in Seattle Washington. Formerly I lived in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
This is relevant to note because the area over Los Alamos is NOT restricted airspace.
I think you have to be 2000 feet above the ground. My point is this, should anyone want to photograph Los Alamos, all
you need to do is rent an airplane and a pilot and have at it. This would dispell any debate over accuracy or
inaccuracy of the USGS maps.
