1. "Dreamland of death" SPIEGEL reporter Joachim Hoelzgen about experiments at the most secret military base of the US: The machinations at the dry-bed of Groom Lake are a mystery to the experts. It is presumed that a hyper-fast spy plane with eightfold sonic speed is being tested. In near Rachel there are speculations that behind the hills a destructive sonic weapon is being tested, like the one, Vladimir Shirinovsky, the right-wing radical, was blustering about. Nobody wants to exclude the possibility, that an emergency supply of nuclear weapons is stored at the base; there is talk about infamous experiments on missing children - and, of course, about flying saucers.
