They've found a monolith!

What the heck are they trying to hide in the middle of a mountain range?

At least they are on the map - my whole country has been removed from view.

It's funny, there's this ecological atlas here that has areal shots (better than the google thing). Both barracks where I served are pictured in detail .

Two questions about the Groom Lake photo:

1: Is that actually Groom Lake there to the left (west?) of the airbase, and

2: Is the water really that clear?

Water?


PS Beat me to it

Pardon me for sounding like a moron, but I must have completely misinterpreted the image. If that isn't a deep, clear lake, what is it?

It's awfully straight-sided for a lake.

[KRSESQ]

Never mind. I was looking at the Papoose Range, a range of hills separating Groom Lake from Papoose Lake almost directly south.

It looks like a deep clear lake until your eyes get adjusted to the shadows.

Topographic map here.

Sorry for the low rez.

Sheesh....
