Why is Area 51 on Google Earth in the first place?

Posted by Klarth

I suppose the alien autopsies and the like all take place underground.

Quoting GameMiestro: Why is Area 51 on Google Earth in the first place?

This was addressed about the same time that North Korea complained about some of their nuclear sites being on display on Google Earth - these photographs are at least a year out of date - you're looking at Area 51, c2004-2005.

Unless they have had a huge remodel of the entire base since then, the year is irrelevant.

My point is, it's not a direct feed. You're not seeing what they're doing right now, so it's pretty much meaningless.

A picture of the Area 51 base is one step closer and allows easier planning, for whatever purpose. A photo will never be a live stream of what they are doing at the time, and you are a fool if you think that is the purpose it would serve.

You can see the Pentagon, Downing Street, the Kremlin, and the United Nations on Google Earth - does that make it easier to plan for whatever you're attempting to do?

Why not?

Quoting Trigger: Why not?

... Because the security on site at any of these locations outweighs any advantage of having a map of the area?

Arguably, it's a map you wouldn't ordinarily have. And you might be able to find hiding spots, etc, from such vantage points.

Finally, someone like Misoxeny, who isn't a tool, comes in and makes some sense!

It's free. The map would take about five minutes to obtain, with very little effort consumed and allows for a slighly more flawless execution. :rolleyes:

IT IS BECAUSE EVERYBODY KNOWS IT IS THERE BUT NOBODY KNOWS THE FLOORPLAN OR THE LAYOUT OF THE UNDERGROUND PARTS YOU BICKERIN MORON. THE SAME GOES FOR THE KREMLIN AND THE PENTAGON. YOU CAN REMODEL THE BUILDING, BUT NOT WHAT OBJECTS OR PEOPLE IT CONTAINS, SO IT ISN'T REALLY AN ISSUE. . . JESUS YOU'D ARGUE WITH A ROCK

If you download Google Earth. I belive that the payable version is updated each week. So you are gettign a very close feed. I belive that it's upadated every week from what I've read. I'm trying to get my school to pay for it. I think it would be great for alot of classes.

You're a tool. You're like the people who buy those giant 100kg easter eggs which are overpriced by a factor of a hundred, just so you can look cool.

It may be updated every week, but it's not the whole planet.

Way to bump.

Okay, wtf. If it's on first page, it's fair game.
