I want to sneak into Area 51 and inifltrate the base...can it be done?

Does this make any sense to anybody?

Watch Independence Day with Will Smith. It would probably look like that.

He could do worse.

I'm not saying it cannot be done, but it's unlikely you or anyone can do it, because you have to overcome so many layers of security:

(1) you will need to wear a full body wet suit, leaving only your eye slits exposed. You need to wear it because your thermal signature will instantly set off heat detectors if you don't wear the suit. It gets cold in the dessert at night, which would make your thermal signature stand out even further. You'll need extra padding on your knees and hands. Why?

(2) you will be crawling no faster than 1 mph. If you got any faster, the motion detectors will be set off. The closest you can start from is 16 miles out, so you will only be able to cover half the distance each night. That means a two or three day attempt. If you start after dark and stop before light, you can only cover 8 miles the first night.

(3) You will need to wear a ghillie suit over the wet suit, lightly doused in deer scent. As dawn approaches the first night, find a good spot and bury yourself. To move during the daytime is suicide, so basically you sleep during the day and move slow at night. The deer scent is to defeat the human scent detectors, the ghillie suit is to break up your outline during the day. You want to appear as part of the foliage and scrub. If you could bury yourself into the ground, that would help too. No movement, or they will catch you.

With all this gear, you will need a source of water, probably a flexable water source on your back, with tubes running to your mouth. You are going to be sweating with all the gear, so you will need the water.

You might also need some shock-proof wire cutters, to get through the electric fences and barbed-wire.

This won't be an easy task, but if you train for it, and find the right night (a moonless night or two would probably help), it MIGHT be possible.

Let us know how it turns out. You'll be caught as soon as you arrive, of course, because you'll have no idea where to go or what to do once you arrive, but at least you can say you made it.

Personally, it would be much simpler to learn to fly a wood glider, paint it black, launch from 40 miles out at dusk, and fly it with some night vision goggles on. You could land right on the runaway. You'll probably be shot or arrest on sight, but it would be much simpler.

I decided today that I'm going to make a long time plan to break into Area51, undetected, and gain information on top secrets. Any tips for me?

I think you are going about it the proper way. Most guys would remain stealth, not let anyone know so there are no loose lips. But you? You have a plan!

I'm sure no one from our government reads any of these boards, and you should go un detected.

Next stop, U.S. President!!

you should start training with a weight vest on. by the time you're ready to break in, you'll be able to carry yourself lightly enough to not set off the "weight censored" ground.

I have done it so it can be done. You should think about trying to sneak into one of the many supply trucks which go in everyday.

1. i like how even on letsrun, everyone can get involved in an area 51 hysterical discussion.

2. Repo Man looks awesome!

The best film ever made.

Dude, get an R/C airplane with a camera on it. I can't believe I'm the first to think of this. Maybe I can sell this idea to China or Russia...

Or you could give one of these a try

Then, when it lands in Area 51, walk up to the front gate and say, "Hi, I dropped my balloon in your base, it contains several cameras with incriminating footage on it, so could you deactivate the minefield and give me full access to your top secret facility while I look for my balloon?"

Remember to say please.

Has nobody mentioned the obvious? Step 1 would be to get a (govt.?) job as one of the security guards.

And if Area 51 has been decommissioned why pay top $ for all that security?

ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US.

Inifltrating is a federal offense - against spelling.

Great so a weirdo and a 16 year old from Britain are going to try and infiltrate a secure government installation.

If Nick Cage joins the party I think we have next summer's blockbuster all lined up!

Edgar Ericson (Elijah Wood) was just your ordinary 16 year old, until one day he responded to a stranger on a message board, asking to accompany him on an insane quest, to break into area 51. John Wiecomb (Nicholas Cage) is 35 years old and lives in his mothers basement, John knows he has encountered aliens, and although everyone writes him off as the town quack, Edgar believes him. John is going to area 51 to bring back proof. With only Edgar as company, the two hatch a daring plan to break into the united states government's most secure base, and embark on the biggest adventure of their lives! In theaters summer 2015!

Where else would they spend all the money that is taken from us.

Interesting Nevada hardly shows any.

Granted, he never got any closer to the Groom base than you can get at the front gate.

But I don't doubt you could, with a bit of luck, walk right in like him. Probably want to take a more roundabout path than the shortest route from 375 though...try starting 60 miles due west of Groom on 95 and follow that rugged terrain all the way over towards the base. Stay far away from any development, even a disused looking old road.

Now, once you cover most of those miles of unused and mostly unwatched scrub land, and get close to the Groom base itself, you'll probably start to encounter sensitive IR cameras in greater numbers. So if you must get closer, buy one of these:

Then you could probably crawl your way right up and over Papoose mountain and have a grand view of the field from somewhere on its eastern flanks. Maybe snap some photos, and walk back out the way you came.

Pretty good chance you won't see anything interesting though, it's not like they're testing new secret aircraft every day. And it'd be a damn shame to end up in prison for seeing nothing more than what's available on Google Earth.

Try tossing some dust 15,000 feet up into the air and see if lands where you stand.
