Area51 Stake Out - Jets & Desert
Jet planes and optical phenomenon a
I absolutely adored staying here. Off the top note, make sure you only pick this site if you are comfortable backcountry camping style. There is a bucket toilet and a fire pit with wood provided. The rest is up to you.
I love the superb silence out there. I was fortunate yo have amazingly clear skies and enjoyed looking at celestial objects with my telescope.
During the day I got to hear the odd sound that jet fighter planes make, hear the big boom of them breaking the sound barrier, and watch fly low and high all across the sky. I can see why people think there's alien activity.
At night, it must be distance and optical illusions but orb lights will appear in places you don't thinere are toad. They will swim pulse movement in directions. It looks holy unnatural and again I can see why people would think aliens. It is fin to experience such a visual distortion. I think there's a good number of night patrolling from the military so there was plenty to see.
The directions were perfectly clear and it was easy for me to find the site. They have signage at the location to clearly mark it and a solar powered motion detection light for at night.
I appreciated the firewood and enjoyed a fire at sunset. That was a lovely addition.
Overall thoroughly enjoyed staying here

Alien site
Wow..so beautiful clean pristine piece of land . It was cloudy/sun was perfect weather for us and it rained at night, so freaking cool listening the rain drops inside our 2023 Tundra with camper shell and heated blanket 🤣🤣. Would highly recommend Alex alien site!!

Great spot but not for the faint of heart, nothing but desert and a small pull out. The back gate is an 8 mile bike ride that is a little tricky to navigate but not terrible. suggest going during a Red Air Event or a moonless night period thats when they conduct "Blackout" operations but be prepared if you want to try to catch a "One of a kind" A/C it will most likely not fly until after midnight. Another thing to keep an eye out for is while scanning the sky overhead watch for spots of starless areas that seam to move. You can only guess what you may be looking at? Overall awesome host and great time off the Extraterrestrial Highway

Perfect sky watching desert spot!
This was the perfect spot for our family! We don’t need amenities, we like privacy and space and we got just that. It was easy to find with the directions and even had cell coverage. It would be tougher in the dark but we didn’t have to do that.
We camp in a teardrop trailer with our own composting toilet for reference.

Incredible!
Exactly as described. Pretty primitive but there are plenty of little marts and grocery stores along the way from Vegas. It was exactly what we were looking for and highly recommend! As long as you follow the directions you’re good to go!
